sw-done: close an increment

Closing is verify, review, complete. The one hard gate is a passing `reports/verify.json`; everything else is evidence.

Steps

1. **Board.** `specweave task list`: every task must be `done` or `skipped`. Anything open goes back to sw-do, or `specweave task skip T-04 --reason "<why>"`. 2. **Verify.** `specweave verify` runs the project's test, lint and build commands (config `testing.commands`, else detected), checks every acceptance criterion against the ledger (an AC is met when all its tasks are done) and writes `reports/verify.md` and `reports/verify.json`. Red: fix and re-run. Do not tick AC boxes; they are derived. 3. **Review.** For anything that ships, run sw-review in a fresh context. Fix critical and high findings, then verify again. 4. **Docs.** If commands, config or user-facing behaviour changed, update README, CHANGELOG and the `## Commands` table in AGENTS.md in the same branch. 5. **Complete.** `specweave complete 0042`. It refuses without a passing verify unless the user gives a reason: `specweave complete 0042 --reason "<why>"`. 6. **Ship.** Push the branch and open the PR the way this repository ships; `specweave report` writes an HTML timeline to attach as evidence.

Report in one paragraph: verify result, review verdict (or "skipped"), commits, anything deferred.

Manual path (no CLI)

Check every task in spec.md has a `done` or `skip` line in `ledger.jsonl`. Run the project's test, lint and build commands yourself and put their real output in `reports/verify.md`. Then set `"status": "completed"` in `metadata.json`, the one state change the manual path makes by hand.

Rules

• Never ask "should I close?" when the tasks are done; close, and the user can reopen.
• Never edit `metadata.json` status while the CLI is available.
• Several agents on one increment: only the lead closes, after every agent has handed

off or released its claims.

• Completing never calls GitHub, Jira or Azure DevOps unless close-on-complete is set;

a failed sync afterwards is retried with `specweave sync push`.
