TVO-FORGE-087: Blob already exists: a published name is never replaced

If this error reveals a permission or cryptography flaw, do not post it — follow coordinated disclosure. Do not report security vulnerabilities here.

Why it happened

In the catalog's worked example, TOVIO explains it like this. Names and values in it are illustrative.

The namespace already holds a blob of this name.

How to fix it

1. Publish under a different name
2. Delete the existing blob first where the surface permits it (a draft release; an admin on a published one)

What to read

• Error reference — the three-part message standard (what happened, why, what to do next), the exit-code classes, the --json shape, and the everyday codes. It is a curated subset, so it may not name this one: TVO-FORGE-087 is in the FORGE area and carries the same three-part message either way.
• Troubleshooting — the diagnostic commands and recovery paths behind the most common failures.

Still stuck, or is the message wrong?

Report it. The link carries only this code and the surface; describe the behaviour in your own words and never paste secrets, capability tokens, session strings, or private repository data.
