Question

publish.yml's nightly run rebuilds and overwrites the latest tag automatically whenever a new
Godot stable drops. That's fine for routine version bumps, but this map's base-image change (off
barichello/godot-ci, onto debian:bookworm-slim with a hand-rolled Godot/Blender/mingw-w64
install) is more invasive than a routine bump — a subtle breakage wouldn't surface until
Project4x's next release run pulls latest and fails or misbehaves.

Does the nightly rollout need a dry-run/canary step (e.g. hold latest back for N successful
builds, or require a manual approval the first time) before this specific change goes live, or is
the validation done in Merge, publish, and validate the debian-slim image end-to-end
(#9) sufficient on its own?

Part of Smaller/faster godot-ci image (map).

Answer

No canary/dry-run needed. This is a low-traffic internal repo with one consumer (Project4x); if ticket #9's end-to-end validation (real Linux export, real Windows export, real .blend import) passes, ship it on the next nightly like any other version bump — no extra rollout machinery.
