What to change
Ask the supplier to rebuild from the shared project using the documented publication process. The goal is to prove that another authorised maintainer can produce the same required output without hidden files or remembered commands. Compare the expected public resource list with the resulting package before release. If a manual editorial input is intentional, name its owner and storage location so it remains an accountable dependency rather than an accidental local secret.
A worked example
Illustrative example
Illustrative test: A replacement maintainer produces the same sample guides without copying files from a colleague's desktop.
How to check the result
The release is reproducible from controlled inputs and documented steps.
A mistake to avoid
Copying the missing files once can conceal the unreproducible process.
Your action checklist
Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
