OpenSpec Git Discipline

Core Rule

Every OpenSpec state change must cross main before the next lifecycle phase depends on it.

• Propose/continue artifacts may be drafted on a branch, but must be committed and merged to main before apply starts.
• Apply may run on main, a branch, or a worktree only if that exact proposal change is already available on main.
• Archive may run only from main after implementation is merged back.

Never create commits, branches, or merges unless the user explicitly asks.
