Keep --json failures machine-readable.
Lines 469 and 487 call failWithError(error) without json.enabled. Therefore, openspec sync --json and openspec ship --json emit terminal error output instead of the required JSON error document. Pass the JSON mode to failWithError in both handlers. Return after failWithError because it already sets process.exitCode; do not force process.exit(1).
Proposed fix
} catch (error) {
- failWithError(error);
- process.exit(1);
+ failWithError(error, options?.json ? { enabled: true } : undefined);
+ return;

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Fail closed when change discovery is incomplete.
readChangeMetadata() returning null skips a change directory. ShipCommand identifies this result as a missing .openspec.yaml at Lines 272-276. Therefore, sync --check can report clean when a status-mode change has no lifecycle metadata.
The catch around fs.readdir() also converts permission and I/O errors into an empty change list. This can hide shipped changes and make the gate pass.
Report these cases as conflicts, or fail the command. Only treat an absent changes/ directory as empty if that layout is intentionally valid.

Second review round addressed in Fixed — real findings:
Deferred, deliberately: Not applied, with reasons:
Separately, I replaced the hand-waved "negligible" performance claim in #1683 with measured numbers, including the case I'd missed: when many shipped changes pile onto a single capability the gate is quadratic (400 changes on one capability → 69 KB spec → 853 ms), because each rebuild re-parses a spec that grows with history. Fixing the asymptote properly needs either per-capability ordering (out of scope, that's parallel-merge territory) or a pre-filter with its own correctness proof, so it's documented rather than papered over.

Every surface that enumerated changes did its own readdir of openspec/changes/, and every surface that resolved a change id did its own path join. That was fine while a change was always exactly one directory deep, and it is the reason adding any other layout would otherwise have to be repeated a dozen times. This introduces a single discovery module and routes the enumeration and resolution surfaces through it: show, validate, status, instructions, shell completions, the dashboard view, and the path-derived name helpers in the JSON converter and the validator. Behaviour is unchanged for the flat layout every project uses today. The module also fixes two things the scattered copies got wrong: an id containing a separator or dot segment now resolves to nothing rather than being joined into a path, and a directory the walk cannot read propagates its error instead of being reported as an empty result.

`archive` does two unrelated jobs in one command: a state transition (declaring a change shipped) and a text merge (folding deltas into specs/). Encoding the transition as a directory move welds the merge to one moment in the review lifecycle, and on a team with code review that moment does not exist — which is why "is everything archived?" cannot be enforced in CI without being red for the whole life of every PR. Under the opt-in `lifecycle: status` mode a change records its own state in `.openspec.yaml` as `status: proposed | shipped` and never moves: openspec sync fold every shipped change's deltas into specs/ openspec sync --check exit 1 if a shipped change has unfolded deltas openspec ship <change> declare shipped and fold, as one diff The gate becomes a predicate over the working tree — shipped implies folded — which a proposed change satisfies for free, so green is the resting state and red means a real mistake. Folded-ness is decided by regeneration rather than bookkeeping: a change is in sync when re-applying its delta produces byte-identical output, so `--check` and the write path run the same code and cannot drift apart the way Fission-AI#1112's validate and archive did. `openspec list` gains a lifecycle column and a `--status` filter, and `openspec archive` refuses under status mode while `openspec ship` refuses under archive mode, so the two models can never both claim a change. Projects that do not set `lifecycle` resolve to `archive` and are entirely unaffected; the one visible change there is that a generated spec skeleton no longer says it was created by archiving, since a fold can now happen without one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…igrate` If nothing ever moves, changes/ accumulates, so under `lifecycle: status` a change is stored at changes/YYYY/MM/DD-<name>/ — sharded by a date assigned at birth. Creation date specifically, because it can never change; sharding by shipped date would smuggle the move back in. `openspec migrate` converts a project between the two modes in either direction, moving only bookkeeping. Neither direction touches spec text: archive-mode specs/ is folded shipped reality, which is exactly what status mode maintains, so reversal is a pure relayout. An experiment users can leave is an experiment that can actually be removed. The forward direction refuses before moving anything when the result would contain two changes sharing a bare id — the case a legacy name reused across archive eras produces, which the archive date prefix permits — and it writes the config line last so an interrupted run resumes. The reverse direction refuses while any shipped change has unfolded deltas, reusing the gate's own verdict rather than reimplementing it, since the archive layout asserts folds that must already exist. This commit also registers sync, ship and migrate on the CLI and in the completion registry. Note for review: this layout is the part of the proposal I expect to lose. Fission-AI#1367 answers the same question with user-chosen domains found by a leaf marker rather than a date convention parsed out of regexes, which is the better mechanism — and if both landed, a domain named 2026 would be ambiguous with a year shard. The mode above does not depend on which layout wins, only on nothing moving. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The repo tracks its own features as OpenSpec changes, so this one is tracked as one: proposal, design note, tasks, and three capability specs covering the mode, the layout discovery, and the migration. The design note records the reasoning that is not visible in the diff — why the state set is closed at two, why folded-ness is decided by regeneration rather than bookkeeping, why archive and status refuse each other, and why the layout decision should defer to Fission-AI#1367 if that lands.

Implements #1683, which carries the full rationale and numbers the design decisions I–X so they can be argued with individually. This PR is the whole thing; the issue is where to push back on any single decision.
Why
This started as a CI problem that turned out not to have a CI solution. We wanted a pipeline check enforcing that changes actually get archived, because without one
specs/silently drifts from shipped reality — someone merges, forgets the archive step, and the living specs quietly stop describing the system. But that property is violated by design for the entire life of an open PR: the change sits inchanges/, unarchived, precisely because it isn't finished. So the check is red as its resting state, on every PR, from first commit to last.Every way around that is bad: a permanently-red pipeline everyone learns to ignore (which also masks real failures); a blocking manual job, which is the same permanent-red problem wearing a different hat and has nothing to trigger on anyway; a bot maintaining a review comment as a blocking condition, which is what we do today and moves enforcement outside CI into something that has to model the lifecycle itself; or archiving early inside the PR, which review feedback then invalidates with no
unarchiveto back it out.The cause is that
archivedoes two unrelated jobs in one command — a state transition (declaring a change shipped) and a text merge (folding deltas intospecs/) — and encoding the transition as a directory move welds the merge to a single moment that, on a reviewed workflow, doesn't exist.The fix is to make the check conditional on the change's own claim: not "is everything archived?" but "does anything claiming to be shipped still have unfolded deltas?" A proposed change passes for free, so green is the resting state and red means a real mistake. That requires a change to declare its state as data rather than by directory position. #1683 has the full argument.
What this adds
status: proposed | shippedin a change's.openspec.yaml; new changes are bornproposedopenspec sync— folds every shipped change's deltas intospecs/, idempotentlyopenspec sync --check— exits 1 if any shipped change has unfolded deltas; the same command gates pre-commit, pre-push and CIopenspec ship <change>— sets the field and folds in one diffopenspec list— lifecycle column and--status <state>filteropenspec archive— refuses under status mode;openspec shiprefuses under archive mode, so the two models stay disjointchanges/YYYY/MM/DD-<name>/), enumerated by one shared discovery that reads both layoutsopenspec migrate— converts between modes in either direction, moving only bookkeepingThe two design points I'd most like reviewed
Folded-ness is decided by regeneration, not bookkeeping (decision IV). A change is folded when re-applying its delta to the current spec produces byte-identical output — no lockfile, no hash sidecar, nothing to corrupt.
--checkand the write path therefore run the same code, differing only in whether the rebuilt bytes get written. That's a direct response to #1112, wherevalidateaccepted deltasarchivethen refused: a checker that reimplements the doer eventually disagrees with it.The gate is a tree predicate, not a timing condition (decision V).
shipped ⇒ foldedis a pure function of files on disk, evaluable on any tree by anyone. "Did archive run at the right moment?" cannot be evaluated mid-PR, which is exactly when the invariant is supposed to be violated.The layout decision is the one I expect to lose
Decision VIII in the issue, and I'll say it here too: #1367 answers the layout question better than this PR does. Its
walkForLeavesdecides change-vs-container by a leaf marker rather than a naming convention parsed out of regexes, and user-chosen domains carry meaning a calendar cannot. If both landed, a domain named2026would be ambiguous with a year shard.If you'd prefer, I'll strip the sharding and migration from this PR and rebase the mode onto #1367's discovery — decisions I–VII don't depend on which layout wins, only on nothing moving. It's included here because the issue asks to show the whole design working end to end, and because the migration story needs some layout to migrate into.
Cutting the other way, and worth flagging for #1367's author: a large share of that PR is the archive move interacting with domains —
buildArchivePathmirroring the domain tree into a second tree,findAllArchivedChangeIdsenumerating it,assertProspectivePathContainedwalking a not-yet-existing destination for symlink escapes,archivereserved as a domain name because two trees share a namespace, plus collision handling and two archive workflow templates. Under this mode none of that has anything to do. An observation, not a precondition.Compatibility
Fully opt-in and inert by default. No
lifecyclekey — or an unreadable or unrecognized value — resolves toarchiveand behaves exactly as before. Under archive modesyncreports there's nothing to gate and exits 0,shiprefuses and points atopenspec archive,listrenders no lifecycle column,archiveis untouched, and discovery returns exactly what it returned before for a flat tree.One cosmetic change does reach archive mode: the generated spec skeleton's Purpose line no longer says "created by archiving", since a fold can now happen without one. That collides textually with #1671 / #1670, which add placeholder detection keyed on that string — whichever lands second should reconcile the wording, and I'm happy to be the one who does.
