| Property | Value |

| Operation | publish_prompt_template_version |
| Group | Prompt templates |
| Scope | prompts:write |
| Route class | control |
| Idempotency | Idempotency-Key accepted: a retry with the same key replays the first answer |
| Audit | Audited prompts.version.publish (mutation) |
| Released in | 1.55.0 |
| Phase 0 host | Served (the hosted api pins 1.65.0) |
Lints the draft that If-Match names and publishes it as the next version (1.55.0). It refuses with one 422 validation_failed listing every issue (PromptPublishIssueCode): each error finding by its lint code and each warning that needs an acknowledgement and is not in acknowledged_warnings. With activate the version becomes the active one. It emits the Webhook event prompt_template.version.published; the Audit event records the acknowledged codes. A write to an Organization layer also needs prompts:admin and is otherwise refused with forbidden and the detail prompts_admin_required.

Fields of the 201 answer
The shape is PromptTemplateVersion.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
acknowledged_warnings | array of PromptLintCode | yes | The warning codes the publisher acknowledges (1.55.0): each warning that needs an acknowledgement (PROMPT_ACKNOWLEDGE_CODES) must be listed, and the Audit event of the publish records the list. A code listed without a finding is kept and has no effect. |
active | boolean | yes | True for the active version: the one an Agent publish pins when its prompt names none, or, for an Organization layer, the one dispatch resolves. |
allow_terms | array of PromptAllowTerm | yes | Staff and place names that phi_literal does not report (1.55.0), at most 100 of at most 100 characters. |
constants | PromptConstants | yes | |
content_sha256 | string | yes | The SHA-256 of the canonical variants, declarations and constants, in lowercase hex. |
declarations | PromptDeclarations | yes | |
include_organization_layer | boolean | yes | |
layer | PromptLayer | yes | |
lint | array of PromptLintFinding | yes | The warnings the publish lint returned (1.55.0); a version holds no error finding, because an error refuses the publish. |
max_rendered_tokens | integer | yes | The longest render of any variant the declared bounds allow, estimated at 4 characters a token (a target until each model family's tokenizer is measured); checked at publish against the smallest context window of the chain (length_exceeded). |
notes | string or null | yes | |
object | "prompt_template_version" | yes | |
prompt_template_id | PromptTemplateId | yes | |
published_at | Timestamp | yes | |
published_by | ActorRef | yes | |
purpose | PromptPurpose | yes | |
source_revision | integer | yes | The draft revision this version was published from. |
status | PromptTemplateVersionStatus | yes | |
variants | PromptVariants | yes | |
version | integer | yes | The snapshot number, from 1. |
