To archive completed OpenSpec changes, execute the archive command which validates artifact completion and task status, then moves the change into openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name> while preserving configuration files and reporting a final status summary.

Syncing delta specs during OpenSpec change archival involves checking for delta specs and optionally synchronizing them with main specs to keep archives aligned, ensuring completed changes are retained accurately.

You need to archive changes in an OpenSpec workflow after implementation is complete to prevent clutter and enable long-term traceability of finished changes.

No, you cannot archive an OpenSpec change if artifact status checks are not completed; the archival process coordinates artifact status checks and task completion to determine archivable changes.

The best way to manage OpenSpec artifact status before archiving is to ensure all tasks are completed and artifacts are validated, as the archive process checks these statuses to determine if a change is archivable.
