flow:finish — Ship Phase (OpenClaw)
Ship work only after fresh verification. Present options, wait for an explicit choice, execute it.
Never auto-merge or auto-push. Present the 4 options and wait. Per the OpenClaw safety model,
pushing, PR creation, and branch deletion are side-effectful — the user must choose explicitly,
and irreversible deletion requires the exact typed word `discard`.
Steps
- Re-run tests now (fresh; the verify step's results are stale by definition). Detect language
and run: TS
npx tsc --noEmit && bun test; Py ruff check . && mypy . && pytest; Rust
cargo check && cargo test. If tests fail → STOP, show full output, return control.
- Determine base branch.
git branch --show-current; prefer main, else master, else ask.
- Present exactly 4 options (verbatim, no recommendation, no 5th option):
Tests pass. What would you like to do with this branch?
1. Merge back to <base> locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is
4. Discard this work
- Execute the choice:
- 1 Merge: checkout base, pull, merge feature; re-run tests on the merge; on pass
git branch -d; on fail keep branch + report.
- 2 PR:
git push -u origin <branch> then gh pr create with summary from the plan Goal +
test results. Report the PR URL. (Push/PR require this explicit option — see safety model.)
- 3 Keep: report, change nothing.
- 4 Discard: show
git log <base>..HEAD --oneline, require the user to type exactly
discard (reject "yes"/"ok"); then checkout base + git branch -D. Irreversible.
- Worktree cleanup: for Merge/Discard,
git worktree remove if one exists; for PR/Keep, leave it.
Never
Merge without fresh tests · push without option 2 · delete without the typed discard ·
force-push unless explicitly requested · proceed with failing tests.
