Archive workflows currently check the destination and then run shell mv. If another actor creates the destination between those operations, mv can succeed while nesting the active change inside the existing archive.

Single and bulk archive skills and commands now delegate the final move to openspec archive "<name>" --skip-specs --yes --json with the selected-root flags. This uses the existing CLI archive lock, collision checks, and rename behavior. The earlier workflow confirmations and sync verification remain in place; --skip-specs prevents a second merge, including bulk deltas deliberately excluded from sync. Success requires a successful CLI result, and the summary uses archive.path while preserving the earlier sync outcome. CLI validation failures are reported rather than bypassed with a shell move. Collision-recovery guidance preserves the existing archive and directs users to the CLI diagnostics or a different change name. Generated skills and the archive skill spec are updated.

Validation: build, targeted ESLint, strict archive-skill spec validation, and diff checks passed. All 261 focused tests passed. Coverage executes the final command from each of the four workflow surfaces, verifies that main specs remain unchanged and date prefixes are preserved, rejects empty and populated destination collisions, and creates a populated destination immediately before the CLI's final rename to verify the source remains intact without nesting. Collision targets use a fixed date prefix, and path-identity assertions cover directory aliases with both paths canonicalized.

This reuses existing CLI guarantees; it does not introduce a new filesystem transaction or promise atomicity against arbitrary external filesystem writers.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Archive workflows now report the final archive location and preserve the verified synchronization status.
    • Bulk archiving continues with remaining confirmed changes when an archive operation fails.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Existing archives are preserved when a destination collision occurs; the affected change is not reported as successfully archived.
    • Archive failures and missing results are reported without claiming success.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Single and bulk archive workflows now delegate final moves to openspec archive --skip-specs --yes --json. They use the CLI result path, report failures without shell-move fallback, and preserve existing archive destinations when a collision occurs.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d4266

Bulk archive summaries may show the wrong location even after a successful move. The returned path is recorded, so this is a bounded issue to correct or explicitly accept before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d4266

The CLI-backed move improves protection against archive collisions. One conditional mismatch remains: a bulk summary could show the preflight destination rather than the location returned by the CLI if a batch crosses a date boundary. No new security vulnerability was established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Bulk output examples still display the preflight target name, while the CLI now selects the destination at invocation time. If a batch crosses a date boundary, the displayed location could differ from the successful move's returned path, misleading later recovery.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed operation affects the selected OpenSpec root's active changes, archive, and any main specs synced earlier by the workflow. No change to a service, tenant, credential, or deployment boundary was identified in the examined surface.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The workflows pass the selected-root flags to the CLI and do not supply a destination path. CLI name and managed-path validation, destination claims, and collision checks remain controls between a selected change and the filesystem move.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Delegating collision handling removes the workflow's shell-move nesting recovery path. It does not make the earlier spec sync and later move one transaction, or establish behavior against arbitrary external filesystem writers.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Use each successful CLI archive.path, rather than the preflight target name, when constructing bulk success and partial-success summaries; exercise a mixed-result batch and a date change in recovery coverage.

402-404: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the collision recovery output.

The archive CLI keeps a YYYY-MM-DD- prefix when the change name already has one. Therefore, “Wait until a different date” does not change the target for those names. “Delete the existing archive” also conflicts with the new collision contract and can remove a valid archive.

Replace these options with non-destructive guidance: keep the existing archive, report the CLI diagnostics, resolve the collision, or use a different change name before retrying.

Suggested wording
 **Options:**
-1. Rename the existing archive
-2. Delete the existing archive if it's a duplicate
-3. Wait until a different date to archive
+1. Keep the existing archive intact and resolve the collision.
+2. Use a different change name, then retry.

Enable strict validation in all five archive tests.

validateSpecContent accepts only two arguments. The extra "strict" argument is ignored, so new Validator() leaves strictMode disabled and valid ignores warnings. Use new Validator(true) and remove the third argument from each call.

Use the returned archive path in bulk summaries.

These output templates still show derived archive/<target-name>/ values. The CLI result is the authoritative archive location. A store-root path or CLI rename can make the derived value wrong. Replace these entries with the recorded archive.path for each successful change.

Reviewed the current head. The workflow now delegates the final move to the CLI without re-merging specs, collision failures preserve the active change and existing archive, and the single/bulk generated surfaces stay in sync. Focused archive tests pass locally (324/324), and the full cross-platform CI matrix is green.

runsonmypc and others added 7 commits October 5, 2026 22:45
Use a stable date in the late-collision regression and canonicalize archive path identities, with directory-alias coverage.
The archive CLI still validates delta specs under --skip-specs, and it now
runs after the workflow's inline sync. A delta the agent merged but the
validator rejects leaves main specs written and the change active. Both
archive workflows now say so in the failure report (restoring the bulk
workflow's earlier "report any main specs step 8a already synced" rule),
so the user knows a retry will read those specs as already synced.
