Executive Summary

This child scenario covers vendors publishing plugins directly via online channels. Developers submit artifacts, pricing, and support policies through px-plugin publish or the management console; the Marketplace review pipeline validates signatures, compatibility, security, and compliance. Upon approval, listings go live instantly and notify subscribed tenants. Targets: ≥99% publish success, review SLA ≤2 business days, notification latency ≤5 minutes, with full traceability back to release records.

Scope & Guardrails

• In Scope: Online publish command, metadata collection, automated review, version diffing, notifications, initial analytics.
• Out of Scope: Offline upload, production canary rollout, billing/settlement flows.
• Environment & Flags: plugin-online-publish, marketplace-review-v2; relies on Marketplace review system, signing & security scans, notification hub.

End-to-End Flow

1. Stage 1 – Submission: Developer submits artifact reference, release notes, pricing, and support information via CLI or console.
2. Stage 2 – Automated Checks: Review pipeline runs signature, compatibility, security, and compliance validations; generates rework tasks if needed.
3. Stage 3 – Decision & Receipt: Reviewer finalizes the decision, system returns the result, and records audit trails.
4. Stage 4 – Listing & Reach: Marketplace lists the plugin, notifies subscribers, publishes announcements, and creates initial performance reports.

Key Interactions & Contracts

• APIs / Events: px-plugin publish, POST /marketplace/online/apply, POST /marketplace/review/decision, EVENT marketplace.listing.status, EVENT marketplace.subscription.notify.
