# Publish Preview — Phase 2A Status

## Status

Phase 2A is mostly closed.

## Confirmed

- retention policy works
- `refresh=true` works
- cached read works
- response contract is more consistent
- cleanup actually removes old records from the database

## Retention result

For the current draft version, exactly 2 preview artifacts remain in the database, matching the configured retention policy.

## Response contract

The response now explicitly returns:

- `preview_cache_cleanup.retention=2`
- `deleted_count`
- `deleted_artifact_ids`

## Runtime state

- logs are clean
- no new exceptions were observed
