release-unclaim

name	release-unclaim
description	Hand a release component's claim back to the SRM store, or force-revoke a stuck one. Use when the user says /release-unclaim, release the claim, drop the hold, or revoke <component>.

Release Unclaim (SRM)

Return a claim to the shared SRM store so the component is free for someone else — either gracefully (you hold it) or by force (recovering a stuck/dead hold).

How it talks to the store

• mcp__srm__release_status — see current holds (and the claim ids).
• mcp__srm__release_claim — gracefully hand back your own claim.
• mcp__srm__revoke_claim — force a claim off (recovery; any workspace member).

Procedure

1. Identify the claim. If you don't have the claim id, run /srm:release-status to find who holds what (each hold carries its claim id).
2. Choose the path:
   • Your own claim, work done or paused → mcp__srm__release_claim { claim }.
   • A stuck or dead hold (the holder's machine went away, the lease is stale) → mcp__srm__revoke_claim { claim }. Confirm with the user first — revoking pulls the lock out from under whoever held it.
3. Both advance the component's fence, so a superseded worker's next write fails loud rather than silently clobbering. Report the component as free.

Guardrails

• Prefer release_claim for your own work; reserve revoke_claim for genuine recovery, and confirm before revoking someone else's hold.
• Releasing doesn't undo committed work — it only frees the coordination lock.
• Releasing is not "done." If the work merged, also mark the component merged: mcp__srm__set_component_state { component, state: "merged" }. Releasing the lock alone leaves the component open, so its dependents stay blocked until you mark it merged.
