Publish your first view
Version 0.20.0. One call sets up a fresh authorized workspace and returns real viewer links.
1. Use kanvas_publish with operation show, a unique requestId and either a prepared view or exact source context/data plus intent. Do not invent facts to populate an example.
2. For a deliberately new topic, supply newSession:true and a sessionName. Continue using the returned targetRef, or explicit sessionId and displayIds. If needs_target is returned, resolve that choice; never select another topic merely because it is recent.
3. Return the actual viewerUrl/shortUrl from the result. These URLs locate a display, not grant access. No QR or guest approval is needed for the signed-in owner.
4. Read kanvas_publish operation status. Prepared means saved; applied means a receiving browser reported rendering. A server snapshot is a separate verification.
