openspec-archive-change

To archive completed changes in an openspec workflow, select the finalized change, verify artifact completion, sync delta specs, and move it to the openspec/changes/archive directory with a date-based name.

When archiving a change with incomplete artifacts, the process enforces prompts that warn you about the missing artifacts and prevents the archival from proceeding until they are completed.

During change archival, the workflow enforces prompts if conflicting delta specs are detected, requiring you to synchronize the delta specs before the change can be safely archived.

You need to sync delta specs before finalizing an experimental change when delta specs are present in the workflow, ensuring all modifications are synchronized and validated prior to archiving.

Yes, the archive directory is created automatically if it does not already exist, allowing the workflow to safely move completed changes into openspec/changes/archive without manual setup.
