Summary

Closes #1264 by making archive workflow instructions explicitly handle delta specs whose target main spec does not exist yet.

Changes

  • Adds missing-main-spec guidance to both archive workflow skill and /opsx:archive command templates.
  • Clarifies that ADDED requirements still need sync and create a new main spec.
  • Clarifies MODIFIED/RENAMED as blocking for a new spec, and REMOVED as ignored with a warning.
  • Adds regression assertions and updates intentional template parity hashes.

Validation

  • ./node_modules/.bin/vitest run test/core/templates/skill-templates-parity.test.ts
  • node build.js
  • ./node_modules/.bin/eslint src/core/templates/workflows/archive-change.ts

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved archive workflow guidance when the corresponding main spec is missing.
    • ADDED requirements now proceed as sync work to create a new main spec; MODIFIED/RENAMED requirements are treated as blocking errors.
    • REMOVED requirements are ignored with a warning; sync is no longer skipped due to a missing target, and the workflow will stop when blocking errors are present (without offering “archive without syncing”).
  • Tests

    • Updated template parity expectations and added assertions for the revised guidance.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Two archive workflow template functions gain explicit guidance for delta specs when the corresponding main spec is missing. Parity test hashes are updated, and a new test asserts the added instruction strings are present.

Changes

Archive workflow missing main spec guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Delta-spec guidance added to archive templates
src/core/templates/workflows/archive-change.ts
Both archive template functions add a missing-main-spec branch that maps ADDED to sync work for a new main spec, MODIFIED/RENAMED to blocking errors, REMOVED to a warning-only ignore path, and keeps sync from being skipped solely because the target spec is absent.
Parity test hash updates and new content assertion
test/core/templates/skill-templates-parity.test.ts
Expected hashes are refreshed for the affected template factories and generated skill content, and a new test checks that both template outputs include the missing-main-spec guidance strings.

🐇 The main spec was missing, the path felt new,
So the rabbit said, “Sync the ADDED through!”
MODIFIED pauses, RENAMED says stop,
REMOVED just waves from the edge of the crop.
Hops and hashes now line up just right.

Pull request overview

Updates the archive-change workflow templates so agent-driven archive instructions explicitly handle delta specs whose target main spec does not yet exist (aligning guidance with the CLI behavior described in #1264).

Changes:

  • Extends the archive workflow template instructions with a missing-main-spec decision branch for ADDED/MODIFIED/RENAMED/REMOVED requirement ops.
  • Updates template parity hashes and adds a regression test asserting both the skill and /opsx:archive templates contain the new guidance.

he new assertions for the archive templates have mismatched backtick quoting: they look for "ADDED"/"MODIFIED" (missing the leading backtick), but the templates include markdown code spans like "ADDED" and "MODIFIED". As written, this test will fail even when the templates are correct.

In `@src/core/templates/workflows/archive-change.ts`:
- Around line 67-72: The missing-main-spec handling in archive-change.ts still
allows the generic "Archive without syncing" flow to continue even when
`MODIFIED` or `RENAMED` requirements are marked as blocking errors. Update the
logic around the missing-main-spec analysis in the workflow template so that the
archive/skip path is explicitly disabled when those blocking deltas are present,
and only allow proceed-with-archive behavior for cases like `ADDED` or `REMOVED`
that are allowed by the rules. Use the existing missing-main-spec decision block
and any sync/archive gating branch in archive-change.ts to enforce this stop
condition.
