In the Add-ons snapshot bundle (see screenshot for version), I published the Sportstation page when working on something unrelated to LC (i had not created any live copies at all).

In the publication request notification (Tasks app), I noticed the note "live copy recursive" at the end of the message. I'm not sure why it appears here.

I tested twice, once with failed publication and once with successful publication. The note appears in both cases. The word "Failure" higher up also appears in both cases.
