feat(sweep): archive closed deferred-work entries so the ledger stays proportional to open work - #711
Conversation
Add `bmad-loop sweep --archive` moving closed (`status: done <date>`) entries to a sibling deferred-work-archive.md, leaving minimal stubs that preserve the DW- id for grep and closes_deferred cross-references. Supports --before DATE to archive only entries closed before a cutoff, and --dry-run to preview. Deterministic Python — no LLM involvement.

…#706 review) The duplicate-body skip matched `### DW-<n>:` as a raw substring of the archive text, so a fenced worked example quoting the heading would falsely suppress archiving a live entry. The skip now parses the archive with the fence-aware ledger parser and counts only entries carrying a live (non-fenced) archived: field.
Stubs keep load-bearing field lines (gate/origin/source_spec/undo tail); crash-recovery skip keys on id + close date; CLI refuses while a run is live, names a missing ledger, guards --before ""/--no-prompt/--run-id; docs and ablation-proof tests added.

…ce in archive_closed (bmad-code-org#711 review) A DW id outlives any one closure, so `archive_closed`'s crash-recovery skip could not key on id + close date alone: reopened and re-closed the same day with a new resolution, or annotated with `append_decision` after its body was archived, an entry was stubbed over its own content while the id was reported as archived — the body reached neither file. The skip now compares the twin's body, modulo live `archived:` stamps, and appends on divergence. Two smaller reopen-cycle defects fall out of the same family: `_STUB_BODY_RE` demanded literal spaces in the resolution tail that `_MARK_DONE_TAIL_RE` copies into the stub with tabs intact, so such a stub read as a live entry and was restamped on every run forever; and `mark_open` left the `archived:` line behind, letting the next reopenable close rebuild the exact stub shape and strand the entry outside every future archive. The fence filter that decides which `archived:` lines are real now lives in one helper, `_archived_line_spans`, shared by all three readers of the field. Every new negative and idempotence assertion is ablation-proven.
…rchive test gaps (bmad-code-org#711 review) `sweep --archive` refused while any run was live, but asked `runs.list_run_dirs`, which is `state.json`-gated. A run whose state file was removed still owns its `engine.pid` and still writes this ledger, so the gated view reported it as no run at all and the archive proceeded — contradicting the guard's own conservative doctrine and the hazard `_run_dir_names` already documents. Liveness is now probed on raw run-dir names via a public counterpart, `runs.all_run_dirs`, which preserves that helper's missing-vs-unreadable distinction: an unreadable runs root learns nothing about liveness, so it refuses too rather than reading as "no runs". Three test gaps this feature shipped with are closed alongside it. The two refusal tests asserted "nothing written" as `"DW-2" in text`, which archiving preserves by design — they now assert an absent archive file and byte equality of the ledger. Nothing covered the allow direction, so a gate that refused unconditionally passed every one of them. And the `_quoted` filter in `_is_archived` had no failing coverage at all: the test named for it exercises `_is_stub`'s path, never the archive-file parse where the filter is read. The new fence-filter test gives the archive twin a body byte-identical to the ledger entry's, so body equivalence — the skip's other half — holds in both directions and the fenced `archived:` line is the only thing deciding. Every new negative assertion is ablation-proven.

… CHANGELOG ledger claim (bmad-code-org#711 review) test_sweep_archive_dry_run asserted only the preview message, and that message branches on args.dry_run rather than on whether anything was written: dropping `dry_run=` from the archive_closed call rewrites the ledger and writes the archive while the test stays green. Ablation-proven — under that ablation both message asserts still passed and the new archive-absent assert reddened. Now pins an absent archive file and a byte-identical ledger, matching the refusal tests strengthened in the liveness phase. CHANGELOG: the Added bullet claimed the live ledger "stays proportional to open work rather than to all history", but archiving leaves a stub per closed entry, so the file keeps a term linear in closed count. Reworded to what it actually does.

Review program complete — ready for your merge decisionFollowing up on the consolidated review. Every confirmed finding from that review is now fixed on this branch, in five passes on top of What landed
The fence filter deciding which
Not fixed here — three items, all answered on the PR1. TOCTOU / serialization (raised by both bots). Real, and staying open rather than half-fixed. 2. A reopened stub loses the pointer to its archived body — and this one is a residual of this program's own fixes, so flagging it plainly. 3. Durable ordering across the two-file write. Separately, #651 now carries a note that Items 2 and 3 have no tracking issue yet — I have deliberately not filed any, since that is your call. Both threads carry the full analysis if you want it lifted into issues. Verification
RecommendationSquash-merge, and I'd suggest not rebasing. The branch carries a mid-branch commit, Merging is your call — I have deliberately not merged. My read is that neither open item blocks: item 2 is narrow and its pre-fix behavior was broken in a different way, and item 3 needs a power loss inside a two-rename window. But they are real, they are unfixed, and you should weigh them rather than take a green gate at face value. One thing owed afterward: run Nice feature, @jackmcintyre — the stub design in particular holds up well under the reopen-cycle cases it was never explicitly built for. |
…ody (bmad-code-org#711 review) mark_open dropped the entry's live `archived:` stamps, and the sweep triage rule keys on exactly that line — so a reopened stub, the one case the strip changed, carried no pointer at all. A stub preserves neither `location:` nor `reason:` (_PRESERVED_FIELD_RE), so the reopened entry reached triage with a heading and nothing to triage. Two individually-correct fixes, one joint hole. The stamp is now demoted rather than deleted: `archived:` becomes `archived-body:`, value and spacing verbatim. That keeps both properties the strip was protecting and the pointer it was destroying — the renamed line matches neither _ARCHIVED_FIELD_RE nor _STUB_BODY_RE, so the entry still reads as live and a later reopenable close still re-archives normally instead of reconstituting a stub _is_stub skips forever, while the value still names the archive block (each carries its own `archived:` date, and an id owns several once a divergent re-closure is archived too). Rehydrating the body during reopen was the alternative and is worse: several blocks per id is by design, so mark_open — called from a rollback — would have to guess which one, and a wrong guess overwrites live content with a stale body. test_mark_open_leaves_a_pointer_to_the_archived_body walks the pointer the way a triage session must: live entry -> `archived-body:` date -> the archive block stamped with it -> its `location:`/`reason:`. Ablation-proven with a cp backup — replacing the demotion with the old deletion reddens it on `assert pointers == ["archived-body: 2026-08-24"]` reading `[]`, while test_archive_reopened_stub_recloses_and_archives stays green under the same ablation, so the two guarantees sit on disjoint axes. Docs: the sweep SKILL.md triage step and deferred-work-format.md now describe `archived-body:` alongside `archived:`; FEATURES.md and the existing [Unreleased] bullet gained the reopen clause.

…eturn (bmad-code-org#711 review) `sweep --archive --before not-a-date` exited 0 on a project with no ledger and 1 on one that has it: the CLI's missing-ledger short-circuit ran before `archive_closed`, which is where the cutoff is validated. The same invocation was graded by optional project data rather than by its own shape. archive_closed already orders `_require_iso_date` ahead of its own `is_file` short-circuit, and its docstring says why — "so a programmer bug fails the same way whether or not a ledger exists". The CLI put that back by checking first. Now the primitive is called first and the missing ledger is reported from its empty result; the call is safe on an absent file, which is the property that ordering already relied on. Behavior is otherwise unchanged: a missing ledger still prints "no deferred-work ledger at <path>" and returns OK, and a malformed date still reports through the same ValueError path at rc 1. test_sweep_archive_rejects_bad_before_date_without_a_ledger is ablation-proven with a cp backup — restoring the old order reddens it on `assert rc == 1` reading `ExitCode.OK`, with the missing-ledger line on stdout; the other twelve sweep-archive CLI tests stay green under that ablation.

… date (bmad-code-org#711 review) A retry after a crash between the archive write and the ledger write stamped the recovered stub with the RETRY's date while its body in the archive kept the crashed run's. The two diverge whenever the retry lands on a later day. That was cosmetic while the stamp was only a "there is a body elsewhere" flag. It is not any more: the archive holds several blocks per id by design, so the stamp is what picks one — for a reader following the stub, and for the `archived-body:` pointer mark_open demotes that stamp into, which is a reopened entry's only route back to its body. A stub naming a date no block carries resolves to nothing. The crash-recovery skip now carries the twin's own stamp (new `_archived_stamp` accessor, read through the shared `_archived_line_spans` fence filter like every other question about the field) and the stub loop uses it in place of this run's date. Scoped to entries the skip actually fired for — an entry archived normally is stamped with this run's date on both sides. test_archive_crash_recovery_stub_keeps_the_archived_body_stamp resolves the stub the way a reader must: its stamp must name exactly one block, and that block must hold the body. Ablation-proven with a cp backup — reverting to the run's stamp reddens it on `assert "archived: 2026-08-24" in stub.body` with the stub reading `archived: 2026-08-25`, while test_archive_fresh_stub_keeps_this_runs_stamp (the scoping half) stays green. deferred-work-format.md now says the stamp picks the block, so the rule is the same for `archived:` and `archived-body:`.

…s tie-break (bmad-code-org#711 review) Two closures of one id archived on the SAME day share a stamp, so a stub's date narrows to its archive block rather than identifying it. The prior round's doc said "the date picks the block", which over-claims in exactly that case. Rejected the reviewer's remedy — a time or sequence discriminator inside the stamp — as disproportionate: `archived: <date>` is documented in the format skill, FEATURES.md and the CHANGELOG, `archive_date` is an ISO-date seam validated by `_require_iso_date`, and a dozen tests read the field as a date. Widening it would change a published field shape for a case that already has a deterministic answer. That answer is the archive's append order: blocks are appended, never prepended, so for one id a later block is a later closure. Documented as the tie-break for both `archived:` and `archived-body:`, and stated at the append itself, so a later reduction cannot quietly invert it. test_archive_same_day_reclosures_resolve_by_append_order drives the full cycle — close, archive, reopen, re-close, archive again on the same date — and pins both halves: the two blocks really do share a stamp, and file order is closure order. Ablation-proven with a cp backup: prepending instead of appending reddens it on `assert "resolution: first close" in blocks[0].body`, which then holds the second closure.

State the tie-break for repeated archive blocks.
When multiple archive blocks match the same DW- ID and date, select the last block in append order. Add this rule for both archived: and archived-body: pointers.

What
Adds
bmad-loop sweep --archive [--before DATE] [--dry-run]: moves closed (status: done <date>) deferred-work entries to a siblingdeferred-work-archive.md, replacing each with a minimal stub that preserves the DW- id for grep andcloses_deferredcross-references. The live ledger stays proportional to outstanding work rather than to all history.Design points

The status line keepsparse_ledgerreading the stub as done (not malformed), soopen_ids,classifyand thecloses_deferredvalidation path stay transparent to archived entries.
