Finalizing a development branch involves verifying tests, checking commit status, and choosing to submit changes as a draft, publish for review, or discard work. This ensures code integration requirements are met before requesting a code review.

The best way to verify tests and uncommitted changes is to run project tests and review current commit messages. This structured workflow verification ensures your development work is ready for publishing or draft submission.

Yes, submitting development work as a draft is a supported workflow option. You can keep changes as a draft for later review, publish them immediately, or discard the work if it is no longer needed.

Discarding work-in-progress changes is handled through structured workflow options presented after test verification. You can safely discard the development work if the feature or changes are no longer needed.

Yes, checking uncommitted changes and reviewing current commit messages is a core part of the workflow. Commit status checks are performed before presenting options for submitting diffs or finalizing the development lifecycle.

Running tests before submitting a diff ensures all project tests pass, which is a requirement for code integration. Test verification prevents broken code from being published or submitted as a draft for review.
