+## Published surfaces
+
+A release is complete only after all four published surfaces are verified:
+
+| Surface | Published result | Automation |
+|---|---|---|
+| PyPI | The `remove-ai-watermarks` wheel and source distribution | `publish.yml` |
+| Homebrew | The `remove-ai-watermarks` formula in `wiltodelta/homebrew-tap` | `distribute.yml` |
+| Hugging Face Space | A factory rebuild of `wiltodelta/remove-ai-watermarks` against the new PyPI release | `distribute.yml` |
+| ComfyUI Registry | A compatible release of `wiltodelta/ComfyUI-remove-ai-watermarks` with its own node version | `distribute.yml` and the node repository's workflows |
+
+The GitHub Release is the trigger and release record for this flow. Conda is
+not a supported publishing surface: this repository has no conda recipe or
+conda publication job.
