Archive Shipped

Status: Active

This is Steffon's archive-shipped SOP. It closes out shipped work from prior
release cycles and reclaims completed worktrees. archive-completed is the
legacy name for this same act.

Scope

Archive work only after it is already shipped. This SOP does not review PRs,
merge release work, deploy QA, or ship production.

Entry

Run this SOP from the McRitchie Studio primary checkout:

cd /Users/alex/projects/mcritchie-studio

Use the production board by default. Do not add --local.

Preconditions

• At least one shipped task or completed release is ready to archive.
• The worktree cleanup candidate is merged or main-equivalent.
• No feature worktree with unmerged or dirty work is reclaimed.

If there is nothing to archive, report "nothing to archive" and stop.

Procedure

Preview first:

bin/release archive --dry-run

If the preview matches the shipped/completed work you intend to close:

bin/release archive --yes

--yes only answers the non-interactive confirmation. It does not bypass archive
eligibility, worktree safety checks, release membership checks, or Redis-band
cleanup guards.

Exit Seam

Shipped tasks and completed releases are archived, and safe completed worktrees
are reclaimed. Report:

• archived task count
• completed release count
• reclaimed worktrees
• any worktree intentionally left alone and why

On a clean no-op, report "nothing to archive."
