complete_task works from the stem of the card it is completing, so a
finished phase leaves every member's worktree, local branch and remote
branch in place — measured on 53: three worktrees at 3.8M each and two
member branches still on origin. The sweep now removes them, with the
existing rule intact for a member that never merged: there is work in
that worktree, so it stays.
Today the runner merges each member into the phase branch as soon as CI
is green, which closes the member's PR and flattens the stack as it is
built: phase 53 handed back one +807 diff for two cards. Stop merging
during the run, chain each member's branch on the one before it, and let
the phase card sit on top. Carries one open question — how the stack
lands — which is a decision only the author can make.
56 takes phase members off the Board view (counts describe what is
visible; membership is the only thing hiding them, so done, archived or
an edited list gives them back). 57 draws them instead: a Phases view,
one swimlane per phase, the phase log under it, run-again where the halt
is. 58 refuses to move a phase card while a member has a live agent —
'hold the phase first' — and covers archive, which is the path that
would really have hurt. 59 sweeps merged members to done/ when the phase
merges, so an ending reads as an ending.
Card 47's agent ended its turn with 'the suite is still running; I'll
wait for the monitor', which in a one-shot claude -p run is the end of
the run — 314 lines of finished, passing work staged and never
committed. The prompt never states that the run is a single turn or that
uncommitted work dies with it.
