gsd-remove-phase

To remove a future phase from a roadmap, you delete the unstarted phase and automatically renumber all subsequent phases to maintain a clean, linear sequence. This preserves project consistency and updates version history with a final git commit.

You need phase renumbering in project management when an unstarted future phase is removed from the roadmap. Renumbering adjusts all subsequent phase indices to preserve linear ordering, ensuring validation gates and historical commits remain consistent.

The best way to delete a roadmap phase without breaking validation gates is to use an automated workflow that removes the unstarted phase and renumbers subsequent phases. This preserves future phase checks and maintains version control history.

Removing a phase from a roadmap does affect version control history by recording the change. The workflow executes a final git commit to document the phase removal and renumbering, ensuring project history accurately reflects the updated roadmap.

You cannot remove a phase that has already started. This workflow is designed to remove only future, unstarted phases from the roadmap to preserve validation gates, work checks, and the integrity of historical commits.
