Creator Portal publish blocked by verse_validate_publish_error in sys/published (live version), not the uploaded project

Summary

Every new release of island 7675-6566-8504 fails Creator Portal validation with 77 verse_validate_publish_error errors. All of them are in sys/published/, which is the currently live version. None are in the uploaded project. The current project compiles in UEFN with 0 errors and no longer contains the code or folder the errors name. No upload can fix this.

Error (one of 77; all are the same kind):

Module bd349ff6-c6c7-4532-8ecb-a2dc6d55944c in candidate link 7077-7003-6323?v=1 has error: “Ambiguous identifier; could be (/adyy@fortnite.com/throwfoodanimal/base_index_device/RunPanel:)UI or (/adyy@fortnite.com/throwfoodanimal/ui:)UI” in file: “C:/build/FortniteGame/Plugins/GameFeatures/bd349ff6-c6c7-4532-8ecb-a2dc6d55944c/sys/published/Content/base_index_device.verse” at line: 110
verse_validate_publish_error

The other errors are in base_index_device.verse lines 112, 188 and 190, tutorial_device.verse line 262, and more of the same.

Publishing

Steps to Reproduce

  1. In UEFN, use Project → Upload to Private Version (the upload succeeds).
  2. In the Creator Portal, create a new release from that version.
  3. Validation fails with the 77 errors above, all in sys/published/Content/…

Already tried, with no change: renamed every local named UI in my Verse; moved the assets out of the folder ui/UI (now ui/UiFx) and deleted the old folder and its redirectors; restarted UEFN; rebuilt Verse (0 errors); uploaded again. Two separate candidate links (2249-4405-5506 and 7077-7003-6323) gave the identical 77 errors.

Expected Result

The release passes validation, because the uploaded project compiles in UEFN with 0 Verse errors and no longer contains the conflicting UI identifiers or the ui/UI folder.

Observed Result

Validation fails with 77 “Ambiguous identifier … UI” errors, all in sys/published/Content/ (the currently live version), not in the uploaded project. The publish check seems to re-compile the old live version, with its own old assets, under the current, stricter compiler, so no new upload can ever pass. Please reset or re-baseline the published-version check for this island so I can publish an update and keep the same island code.
