What
Publishing an artifact now forces a fresh capability lookup, instead of reusing a cached one, when the request declares capabilities and frozen artifact types are enabled for a non-type publish. Fetched values are only adopted where none were supplied.
Details
The frozen-artifact-types state is computed when the schema is built; this branch runs only when its types flag is on.
Publish also records the artifact's slug before waiting on share status, rather than after.
