To safely archive experimental changes, you can validate artifact status and task completion, then move the change directories to a date-stamped archive location. This ensures a clean workspace while preserving project history.

Synchronizing delta specifications with main documentation involves assessing completed changes and optionally merging the delta specs into the main specs. This maintains documentation consistency before final archival.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI to manage change archival because it performs the required status checks and file system operations safely. Without it, verifying artifact completion and moving directories securely is not supported.

Your workflow prevents premature closure by automatically verifying the completion status of all artifacts and tasks before archiving. This validation step ensures incomplete work is not accidentally finalized.

Finalizing experimental changes without moving them to a dedicated archive directory is not recommended. Safe archival requires relocating completed work with date-stamped naming to preserve project history and maintain a clean workspace.
