Production builds
Builds are deterministic. Local mode is check-only; remote mode pushes Manifest changes.
Production builds are deterministic. In local mode the build is check-only: it never regenerates or re-translates, it verifies that the committed artifacts match your current source.
The build fails if artifacts are stale
If committed Runtime bundles are missing, incomplete, out of date, or contain Lookup ids absent from the current Manifest, the build throws and tells you to run the dev workflow and commit the result. This keeps shipped Locale values honest.
In remote mode the build pushes Manifest changes to the resolved Branch. Sync is idempotent and fails clearly if the Project does not exist or the credentials are invalid.
