Terminology: this command uses 'session' throughout. The underlying workflow file (merge.md) may use 'milestone' as a legacy alias for 'session'. Treat them as equivalent: --session maps to workflow's -m, state.json.sessions[] maps to state.json.milestones[].
Flags (--session, --force, --dry-run, --no-cleanup, --continue), merge sequence, artifact sync detail, and conflict handling are defined in workflow merge.md.
--dry-run short-circuit: execute GATE 1 health check only, display merge preview (files that would change, artifact sync plan), then EXIT before rebase/merge. GATE 2 and GATE 3 are not reached.
Gates (MANDATORY, BLOCKING)
GATE 1: Pre-merge → Git Merge
- REQUIRED: Registry health check completed (stale entries cleaned or flagged).
- REQUIRED: Pre-merge rebase successful (worktree has latest main).
- REQUIRED: worktree state.json schema version matches main state.json version. If mismatch → W004 (suggest running maestro-update in worktree first).
- BLOCKED if rebase has conflicts: resolve in worktree first (W003).
Note on --force: skips user confirmation for incomplete phase artifacts (W002). Does NOT skip conflict resolution or rebase. Specifically: GATE 1 and GATE 2 are unaffected by --force; GATE 3's artifact completeness check uses --force to bypass the W002 confirmation.
GATE 2: Git Merge → Artifact Sync
- REQUIRED: Git merge completed without conflicts (or conflicts resolved via --continue).
- BLOCKED if: merge has unresolved conflicts — do NOT sync artifacts until git merge succeeds (prevents partial state corruption).
GATE 3: Artifact Sync → Completion
- REQUIRED: All Run artifacts synced to main
sessions/{session_id}/runs/. - REQUIRED: Artifact registry reconciled (worktree entries merged into main).
- REQUIRED: Worktree cleaned up OR
--no-cleanupflag present. - BLOCKED if missing: artifacts not synced or registry not reconciled — main worktree would have incomplete state.
After successful merge, use request_user_input to confirm knowledge persistence:
question: "Merge 完成。是否记录本次工作经验教训?"
options:
- label: "记录经验"
description: "通过 maestro-spec add 持久化此次工作的关键洞察"
- label: "跳过"
description: "不记录,直接完成"
User selects "记录经验" → prompt for title/insight, then recommend /maestro-spec add learning "<title>" "<insight>" --keywords <kw1>,<kw2> --description "<summary>". User selects "跳过" → proceed to next-step routing.
Next-step routing
| Condition | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Next dep-ready session | route step analyze through /maestro-next or the canonical receipt-chained session open -> session chain insert --command analyze --arg "<goal>" -> run next flow |
