2b09bde534The Key Files list in `cmd/publisher/README.md` includes a bullet for `build.sh`, but there is no `build.sh` anywhere in the repo. The publisher is built with `make publisher`, which runs `go build -o bin/mcp-publisher ./cmd/publisher` (Makefile), so there is no separate cross-platform build script. The other three entries in the same list (`main.go`, `commands/`, `auth/`) all exist. This removes the stale bullet so the list matches the actual files in the directory. |
