• 🟡 (18:02) Read-only audit found a MINOR regression-coverage gap in src/publish/__tests__/discover-location.js:19: existing test proves root releases skip discovery, but no test proves a non-root path propagates a Docker/workspace-discovery failure. Audit required a regression test using path: './packages/cli', root config present, and a throwing execFile; the test must throw rather than return a checkout path. Audit status: DO-NOT-MERGE until this coverage is added.
• 🟡 (18:02) Audit verified src/publish/discover-location.js:51 returns {path: '.'} without workspace discovery only for exact .; src/publish/discover-location.js:55 calls getWorkspaceNames for non-root paths, and non-root discovery failures currently propagate/fail closed.
• 🟡 (18:02) Audit verified input-path validation happens before the discovery workflow step in src/modules/details-from-context.js:49-52, invoked by src/publish/inputs.js:6-9 and passed through .github/workflows/publish.yml:134-174.
• 🟡 (18:02) Audit verified focused tests and lint passed and that the diff was limited to the hotfix and its test.
• 🟡 (18:02) Assistant accepted the coverage finding and stated it would add the paired non-root fail-closed regression, rerun validation, and perform a final audit.
