spectra-archive

To archive completed change artifacts and delta specs safely, use the spectra archive command. It validates prerequisites, synchronizes delta specs, and prompts for incomplete tasks before applying the formal archive.

Handling incomplete artifacts during change management archiving is managed through guided user prompts. The archive workflow detects missing prerequisites or tasks and prompts you to resolve them or optionally mark tasks complete before proceeding.

Yes, you can skip delta spec comparison when archiving a completed change by using the --skip-specs flag. This bypasses the optional delta-sync assessment step to complete the workflow faster.

Yes, the archiving workflow parses artifact status before moving changes to the archive. It implements prerequisites checks and status parsing to ensure artifacts are properly synchronized and captured during the formal archiving process.

Archiving may halt when existing archives are detected to ensure safe handling of current data. The workflow implements guardrails that prompt you before overwriting or duplicating any previously archived artifacts or delta specs.

You do not need to manually validate delta specs before running the archive command, as it performs delta-spec comparison automatically. However, you can use the --no-validate flag to bypass this check if validation is handled elsewhere.
