# X_PUBLISH_LIST_UNKNOWN

## Means

a publish step names a workspace this tree cannot publish — no such package, or a private one

## Typical cause

a rename, a deletion, or a typo in a `-w` flag. `npm publish` exits non-zero on it, and the packages published by the steps before it cannot be unpublished

## Fix

`bun run scripts/release-workflow.ts --json` — the `fix` carries the exact `-w <name>` to delete from `.github/workflows/release.yml`
