missing required environment variable

Error message

missing required environment variable{}:
  {}

What it means

Publish-config resolution collected all required prefixed environment variables (e.g. *_DOMAIN, *_DOMAIN_OWNER, *_REGION, *_REPOSITORY) and one or more are unset; the message aggregates every missing name (with a pluralized suffix) after checking them all, before any network operation starts.

Solutions

1. Export the listed variables in the publishing environment
2. Wire them from CI secrets instead of relying on the local shell
3. Re-run after fixing; resolution fails fast before any upload is attempted
