What
Publishing an artifact normally re-reads the live page to check nobody else changed it. That round trip is now skipped when the publish is your own and your recorded read already matched the live version with no other observers. On by default; a server override can turn it off.
Details
Gated on tengu_cobalt_plinth_teasel , whose compiled fallback is on. The skip path returns reason: "proceed_own_version" and emits artifact_guard_autoread with mode: proceed_own_version. Evidence
tengu_cobalt_plinth_teasel
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
