To archive completed changes in an experimental software workflow, you can automate the archival process to ensure all artifacts and tasks are verified for consistency before final storage. The system safely finalizes and stores your work post-implementation.

Spec syncing before archiving a change updates your main specifications with the latest modifications from the experimental workflow. This optional step ensures your primary specs remain consistent with the finalized work before permanent archival.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed to finalize and archive workflow changes. The archival process depends on the openspec CLI to list changes and check completion status, verifying that all artifacts are ready before archiving.

Status verification when archiving completed changes ensures all artifacts and tasks are fully complete before the process begins. It checks the workflow state to guarantee that only fully finalized changes are permanently stored.

You should finalize and archive changes in software development at the end of a project phase. This ensures completed work is safely stored and documented post-implementation, preventing loss of finalized artifacts.
