Finalizing a development branch requires verifying passing tests and closing associated epics before presenting integration options like merging or creating a pull request, culminating in worktree cleanup.

Yes, creating a pull request is a presented integration option using the gh dependency, available alongside merging or discarding work after mandatory test verification is completed.

Yes, passing tests is a mandatory verification step before you can proceed with merging or creating a pull request, enforced by the strict 6-step process to ensure proper code integration.

The best way is to let the branch finalization process handle worktree cleanup automatically based on your chosen integration path, whether you merge, create a pull request, or discard the work.

To discard development work, you must use the branch finalization process which requires explicit confirmation before discarding, ensuring intentional closure of associated epics and proper worktree cleanup.

Yes, the branch finalization process works with GitHub for code integration through the gh dependency, allowing you to create pull requests directly and manage branch integration back into the main codebase.
