Schedule-Aware Rule Publication States

Merchandising rules now derive a single publication state from their schedule, and publishing respects it.

Every rule shows as Draft, Scheduled, Live, or Ended, and publish actions check the schedule window first. You can't publish a rule before its start date or after its end date, and bulk publish skips those rules and names them.

When a rule has a schedule, the Publish/Unpublish button asks you to confirm, since Publish now clears the schedule and Unpublish now sets the end date to right now.

Automatic schedule publishes and unpublishes also show up in Config History with a reason label, so you can tell them apart from a manual edit.
