openspec-archive-change

To archive completed changes in an openspec workflow, select the change, validate artifact and task completion, synchronize delta specs, and move it into a dated archive directory while retaining configuration files like .openspec.yaml.

Delta specs are evaluated during the change archiving process and optionally synchronized with main specs before the final move to ensure your workflow artifacts remain consistent and traceable.

Artifact status validation checks whether all associated tasks and artifacts are completed before archiving, warning you about incomplete items to ensure only fully validated changes are moved into the archive.

Yes, the archiving process preserves configuration files, including .openspec.yaml, ensuring provenance and recoverability while creating a dated archive directory for your completed change.

The best way to ensure traceability is using a reproducible archiving process that generates a summary report with location and status, moving validated changes into a dated directory while preserving configuration.

Your change archiving process warns about incomplete tasks because it enforces status checks on all associated artifacts and tasks, preventing the accidental archival of unvalidated or unfinished workflow changes.
