cleanup

name	cleanup
description	Use when cleaning up peers, sessions, tmux panes, processes, feature worktrees, branches, generated artifacts, or after a delegated lane or PR is complete.

Cleanup

Cleanup has three parts: mesh registration/session, terminal/process, and workspace artifacts. Treat them separately.

Before cleanup

Confirm the work is complete, merged or no longer needed, and no peer/reviewer still needs the workspace. Preserve dirty, unmerged, or unpushed user work unless the user explicitly asked for destructive cleanup.

Safe sequence

1. Check git state in the relevant worktree:

   git fetch origin
   git status --short
   git log @{u}..HEAD
   

2. Deregister the peer only when it is no longer needed.
3. Verify terminal state separately:

   tmux list-windows -t <circle>
   

4. Kill pane/window only after verifying it is disposable or the user asked.
5. Remove feature worktree and branch only after merge/disposal is clear:

   git worktree remove <feature-worktree-path>
   git worktree prune
   git branch -d <feature-branch>
   

6. Re-check mesh, tmux, and worktree state.

Anti-patterns

• Treating stale mesh rows as proof the terminal is dead.
• Killing terminals that may contain resumable state.
• Pruning worktrees before checking dirty/unpushed work.
• Cleaning up before review or verification is complete.
