gpd-remove-phase

To remove an unstarted phase from a gpd roadmap, the process deletes the target future phase directory and renumbers subsequent phases. This maintains a clean linear sequence and updates ROADMAP.md and STATE.md files accordingly.

When a future phase is deleted, ROADMAP.md and STATE.md are automatically updated to reflect the removal. Subsequent phases are renumbered to ensure the phase sequence remains accurate and consecutive across the project.

Yes, the gpd CLI workflow is required to delete and renumber project phases. The process validates that the target phase is an unstarted future phase before deleting the directory and committing the descriptive change to history.

No, you cannot remove a phase that has already started. The roadmap maintenance task strictly validates that the target phase is an unstarted future phase before allowing directory deletion and renumbering of subsequent phases.

The best way to maintain a clean linear sequence when canceling a planned roadmap phase is to remove the unstarted phase directory and renumber all subsequent phases. This ensures ROADMAP.md and STATE.md accuracy.
