issue-close

Issue Close

Archive an issue without creating a track.

Argument: <file-path> [--reason wont-fix|deferred|duplicate]

Process

1. Read the issue file

   • If the issue file does not exist, inform the user and stop.
   • If the issue's status is already implemented, wont-fix, deferred, or duplicate, the issue is already closed — inform the user and stop.
   • If the issue file has no status field, inform the user and stop.

2. Get reason if not provided as argument — ask:

   Why are you closing this issue?
   1. wont-fix — not worth doing
   2. deferred — valid but not now
   3. duplicate — already covered elsewhere
   

3. If duplicate — ask which issue file or conductor track it duplicates

4. Update issue file frontmatter:

   • Update status to the reason (wont-fix | deferred | duplicate)
   • Get today's date by running date +%Y-%m-%d — do not assume you know it. Add closed: YYYY-MM-DD
   • If duplicate: add duplicate-of: <issue-filename-or-track-id>
   • Add a brief closing note under ## Notes if user provides one

5. Move to issues/archived/<reason>/

   • Create the archive subdirectory if it doesn't exist

6. Confirm closure with file location
