$ca-standup — daily hygiene

The best-practice checklist you run when you sit down to code, made routine and gated. The SessionStart briefing *reports* hygiene state read-only; this command is where the *actions* happen — each one confirmed individually, none taken unbidden. Arbiter gathers and proposes; you decide every mutation.

Flow

The orchestrator reads the current repo state (reusing the briefing's read-only computation — branch, ahead/behind, dirty tree, stashes, prune-candidate branches, stale worktrees) and presents it, then offers each applicable action in turn. Skip an action that has no candidates; never bundle confirmations.

1. **Fetch + fast-forward pull** — kick `git fetch`, then offer a **`--ff-only`** pull of the current branch. Eligibility is the briefing summary's `ff_pull_eligible` flag (SH-6: clean working tree AND behind upstream) — the same pure helper the SessionStart briefing computes, not a condition re-derived here. On a dirty tree the pull is withheld and the dirty state is reported instead. A diverged branch (would need a merge) is refused with a diverged-branch message — never a merge commit. 2. **Prune merged local branches** — list local branches already merged on remote (the `: gone]` upstream set), excluding the current branch and the default (`main`). Delete a listed branch only after an explicit per-branch confirmation; declining leaves it in place. 3. **Remove stale worktrees** — list stale/merged worktrees (branch gone-or-merged, or path missing on disk), never the main worktree. Remove one only after explicit per-item confirmation; declining leaves it intact. 4. **Surface stashes / dirty / un-pushed** — list stashes, uncommitted changes, and un-pushed commits, each with a suggested next step (`$ca-commit`, `git push`, `git stash show`). Report-and-route only: never discard a stash, reset, or push. 5. **Advisory board-drift sweep** — run `git log` over the recent merge window (since the last `ca`-scoped tag, or a rolling 30-day window when no tag exists) and pipe that text to `python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/boardsync.py" reconcile || python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/boardsync.py" reconcile`. Display the advisory drift report as-is: DRIFTED tasks (work merged but board state not `[x]`) and informational UNKNOWN ids (in the log but absent from the board). This step is read-only and best-effort — the dotted-id grep can miss a task never named in a commit. The board is never mutated here; `open-tasks.md` is never written. Any drifted task must be resolved explicitly through `$ca-task done <id>` — the only blessed board writer. State this clearly to the user; do not auto-flip.

6. **Archival sweep — proposed per item, never batched** (B-24). Long-done tasks accumulate on the board and inflate the in-flight count until it stops meaning anything. List the done items older than the cutoff, then ask about **each one separately** and archive only the ones the user says yes to: `python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/taskwrite.py" archive <id> || python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/taskwrite.py" archive <id>`.

One confirmation per item, one helper call per item — the two map 1:1 on purpose. A batched "archive all 12?" turns twelve decisions into one, and the helper's own per-item ordering (append to `done-tasks.md` first, then remove from `open-tasks.md`) is what makes an interrupted sweep recoverable; a batch loop that answered once would throw that away.

An item marked `[x]` with **no `(done YYYY-MM-DD)` stamp** cannot be aged, so it is never in the proposed set. Offer it only if the user asks, and only with `--allow-undated` — both `$ca-task done` and the board classifier require the stamp, so an unstamped entry is legacy or override-era and its real age is unknown.

Declining is always available and costs nothing: an unarchived task stays exactly where it is. Never archive without a yes.

Present a one-line summary of what was done and what was declined.

When NOT to use

  • A read-only state snapshot without acting → `$ca-status`.
  • Install health (interpreter, payload, hooks) → `$ca-doctor`.
  • Committing staged work → `$ca-commit`.

Hard gate

  • MUST pull with `--ff-only` and ONLY on a clean working tree — never a merge

commit, never on a dirty tree, never a rebase.

  • MUST exclude the current branch and the default branch from branch pruning, and

the main worktree from worktree cleanup.

  • MUST confirm each destructive action (branch delete, worktree remove)

individually before performing it — no batched or implied yes.

  • MUST treat stash / dirty / un-pushed state as report-and-route only — never

discard, reset, force, or push on the user's behalf.

  • MUST NOT write to or force-push the default branch.
  • MUST NOT auto-flip any board entry during the drift sweep — the sweep is advisory

and read-only; resolving a drifted task is the user's decision and routes exclusively through `$ca-task done <id>`.
