Phase 6: Cleanup & Push¶

Home > Document-Driven Development > Phases > Phase 6

Remove temporary files, verify completeness, push changes

Goal¶

Clean up temporary artifacts, perform final verification, and push clean, complete work to remote.

The Steps¶

Step 1: Cleanup Temporary Files¶

# Remove file crawling indexes
rm /tmp/docs_checklist.txt
rm /tmp/docs_to_process.txt
rm /tmp/code_to_implement.txt
rm /tmp/test_checklist.txt

# Review ai_working/ directory
ls -la ai_working/

# Archive valuable reports
mkdir -p ai_working/archive/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)-feature-name
mv ai_working/user_testing_report.md ai_working/archive/.../

# Delete pure working files
rm ai_working/implementation_tracking.md

Generally: Don't commit ai_working/ unless files are broadly valuable.

Step 2: Final Verification¶

Before pushing:

All todos complete
All tests passing: make test
All checks passing: make check
Documentation and code in perfect sync
No temporary/debug code
No debugging print() statements
Commit messages clear
No uncommitted changes: git status clean
Philosophy principles followed

Philosophy verification:

## IMPLEMENTATION_PHILOSOPHY.md

- ✅ Ruthless simplicity
- ✅ Minimal implementation
- ✅ Clear over clever

## MODULAR_DESIGN_PHILOSOPHY.md

- ✅ Bricks and studs (clear interfaces)
- ✅ Regeneratable from spec
- ✅ Self-contained modules

Step 3: Push Changes¶

# Review all commits
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline

# Verify branch
git branch --show-current

# Push
git push origin <branch-name>

PR Description Template¶

If pushing triggers PR creation:

# [Feature Name]

## Summary

Implements [feature] as specified in documentation.

## Documentation

- [docs/USER_ONBOARDING.md](link) - User guide
- [docs/API.md](link) - Technical reference
- [README.md](link) - Quick start updated

## Implementation

- Added [key components]
- Updated [modified areas]
- Comprehensive tests

## Testing

### Code Tests

- ✅ Unit tests: 45 tests, 100% coverage
- ✅ Integration tests: End-to-end verified
- ✅ All checks passing

### User Testing (AI QA)

- ✅ Tested 3 main scenarios as actual user
- ✅ Smoke tested integration points
- ✅ 1 critical issue found and fixed
- ✅ Report: ai_working/archive/.../user_testing_report.md

### Recommended Human Verification (~12 minutes)

- Fresh setup flow
- Provider switching
- Error handling

## Philosophy Compliance

- ✅ Ruthless simplicity
- ✅ Modular design
- ✅ Documentation-driven
- ✅ Context-poison-free

## Breaking Changes

None - additive functionality

Output of Phase 6¶

When complete:

✅ Temporary files cleaned
✅ Final verification complete
✅ All tests and checks passing
✅ Documentation and code in perfect sync
✅ Clean git history
✅ Pushed to remote
✅ Ready for human review

DDD Cycle Complete!
