marsai:cycle-management

Cancel an active development cycle safely using the dev-cancel mode, which implements a guarded cancellation flow. You can apply an optional --force flag to override protections while preserving the state-file data for future reference.

State-file discovery works by searching across multiple potential documentation paths to locate your active cycle state. It provides clear user feedback during the search, ensuring the correct state-file is found before applying status reporting or cancellation operations.

You can configure cycle management operations using frontmatter-driven configuration within your documentation. This allows the system to read project-specific rules and state parameters before executing status reporting or guarded cancellation flows.

The best way to cancel a development cycle without losing data is using the guarded cancellation flow with state preservation. This process safely halts the active cycle while retaining the state-file, ensuring progress metrics remain accessible after cancellation.
