Research direction

Look at the publication task in the codebase, likely in a CI or task runner directory. Compare it to the analysis task's implementation that pulls from unified and applies a Phabricator patch. Understand the current try pull mechanism and the patch application process. Test the change by running the publication task locally or in a CI environment to ensure it works correctly and is faster.

Description

The publication task is pulling from try, which can be slow.

It might make more sense to do like the analysis task: pull from unified and apply the Phabricator patch.
