description	Reject a reviewed issue — return to in_progress with feedback

/reject

Reject a review-status issue and move it back to in_progress. The worktree stays intact so the agent can address feedback.

CLI only (no direct viban.json access)

Input: $ARGUMENTS (required: issue ID, optional: feedback text)

---

Output Rules

• Do NOT output any preamble.
• Start executing Step 1 immediately.

---

Step 1: Validate

viban get $ID

Confirm the issue is in review status. If not, tell the user and exit.

Parse $ARGUMENTS: first token is $ID, rest is $FEEDBACK.

BRANCH="issue-$ID"
WT_DIR="$PWD/.viban/worktrees/$ID"

---

Step 2: Return to Main

Detached HEAD from /viban:review — branch is intact, just switch back:

git checkout main

---

Step 3: Re-attach Worktree

If worktree exists (detached during review), re-attach it to the branch:

[ -d "$WT_DIR" ] && git -C "$WT_DIR" checkout "$BRANCH"

If worktree does not exist, recreate it:

[ ! -d "$WT_DIR" ] && git worktree add "$WT_DIR" "$BRANCH"

---

Step 4: Move Back to in_progress

viban move $ID in_progress

---

Step 5: Record Feedback

If $FEEDBACK is provided:

viban comment $ID "$FEEDBACK"

Also comment on PR if one exists:

PR_NUM=$(gh pr list --head "$BRANCH" --json number --jq '.[0].number' 2>/dev/null)
[ -n "$PR_NUM" ] && gh pr comment "$PR_NUM" --body "$FEEDBACK"

If no feedback provided, ask the user: "Any feedback for the developer?"

• If provided → store as comment
• If none → skip

---

Step 6: Restore User State

Check for stash:

STASH=$(git stash list | grep "viban-review: before #$ID" | head -1 | cut -d: -f1)
[ -n "$STASH" ] && git stash pop "$STASH"

Check for temp commit:

TEMP=$(git log --oneline -1 | grep "viban-review: temp commit before #$ID")
[ -n "$TEMP" ] && git reset HEAD~1

Report: "Issue #$ID rejected → in_progress. Worktree intact at $WT_DIR."
