Two-step process: finalize (archive + merge specs on branch) then ship (merge branch to main).

Steps

1. METTA_SKILL=1 metta finalize --dry-run --json --change <name> → preview what will change
2. If clean: METTA_SKILL=1 metta finalize --json --change <name> → archives change to spec/archive/, merges delta specs into living specs
3. If spec conflicts: stop and tell the user to resolve them
4. git checkout main → switch back to main
5. git merge metta/<change-name> --no-ff -m "chore: merge <change-name>" → merge the feature branch
6. Report result to user

Rules

• ALWAYS dry-run finalize before the real operation
• Finalize happens on the feature branch (metta/)
• Ship merges the feature branch back to main
• If spec conflicts are found, do NOT proceed — tell the user
• Do not force-push or skip any steps
