Summary

Restore approved teardown after a verified Herdr pane move, so missing persistent cwd controls no longer block cleanup.

The same process stays alive. Later tools or exiting the agent can report a deleted-directory error; the plan must disclose that risk before approval.

Loading

A verified Herdr pane move permits approved removal even when the agent's working directory stays behind.

What changed

• Remove the persistent-cwd requirement after a verified Herdr pane move
• Warn before approval about deleted-directory errors
• Run own-checkout removal, branch cleanup, and final verification in one shell invocation
• Preserve other-session, data-preservation, merge, and Orca checks
• Bump the three manifests to 0.57.5

Blast radius

• The teardown skill changes its Herdr path for Pi, Codex, and Claude Code
• Sessions without a host still require a verified persistent cwd change before deleting their own checkout
• Orca still retains the attached terminal's checkout
• A wrong removal decision can destroy files; existing approval, recovery, and live-session checks remain mandatory
• No CLI logic, dependencies, or generated outputs change
• Reverting restores the previous relocation gate but cannot recover files removed during teardown

Test plan

• Review both changed guides with the connected teardown safeguards independently
• Pass Markdown parity (2 checks), version-gate tests (41 checks), and whitespace checks
• Review prose lint warnings on both changed guides
• Pass the configured build, lint, and typecheck; confirm generated outputs stay unchanged
• Load the local skill in a fresh Pi session and move its pane to the main workspace with unchanged process/session identities
• Rehearse stale-cwd approval and other-agent, preserved-data, ambiguous-move, and Orca blocking cases without deletion
• Pass GitHub checks covering the CLI, shell suites, plugin wiring, Pi extension, and full tests
• Inspect review comments and resolve blocking findings before merge (no comments or reviews)

Verification limits

The live test moves a real pane but deletes nothing. Destructive cleanup and post-deletion tool or exit errors remain untested.

The local test isolates the skill from the ACStack extension. No AI review workflow is configured in this repository.
