Builder

One builder publishes every message: message(&value), the positions its type leaves open, then publish().

A slot, a transaction and any bare Publisher start a publish with message(&value) and return a PublishBuilder. The positions the message type leaves open come next. .to(name) names the destination of a type that declares none, and a template opens .to() with its setters, as on the Destinations page. A publish whose destination is still open does not compile. .with_headers(..) takes the type's declared header contract by reference, or a HeaderMap built by hand. The headers on the wire are the publisher's base headers with the call site's over them, key by key. .with_codec(codec) names a codec for this one publish, over the slot's and the app's. A Serialized value carries its own bytes and has no codec position. A broker adds steps of its own for its per-message settings.

publish() encodes the value and sends it, and returns PublishError on failure. Encode and Serialize mean the value did not encode, and a retry of the same value fails the same way. Publish carries the broker's own error. On a slot the message passes the slot's transforms before the send, and the app's publish layers where they apply.
