Why this PR is needed

PR microsoft/aspire#16157 fixed a bug where aspire publish for TypeScript/polyglot AppHosts was incorrectly placing output under ~/.aspire/bundle-hosts/... instead of the AppHost directory. As part of that fix, the CLI help text was updated to clarify that the default output path is the AppHost directory's aspire-output folder, not ./aspire-output relative to the current working directory.

The documentation for aspire publish still showed the old wording (./aspire-output) which could mislead users into thinking the output is relative to their current working directory rather than the AppHost directory.

What was changed

Updated the --output-path option description in the aspire publish command reference to match the clarified behavior.

Before:

Defaults to ./aspire-output if not specified.

After:

Defaults to the AppHost directory's aspire-output folder if not specified.

Files modified

  • src/frontend/src/content/docs/reference/cli/commands/aspire-publish.mdx — updated (existing page)

This is a small but meaningful clarification, especially relevant for TypeScript AppHost authors who may have encountered the bug fixed in microsoft/aspire#16157.
