promote

promote — share a loop's context

Promote moves what's worth keeping from this loop into shared main. It is deliberate — do it when the work is genuinely worth sharing, not on every turn. You run plain git; if the merge conflicts, you resolve it yourself (you are the merge agent — no other agent, no script).

Steps

cd into the worktree you want to promote — /loopat/context/notes, /loopat/context/knowledge, /loopat/context/personal, or a repo workdir — then capture your work and merge the latest consensus:

git add -A && git commit -m "<what you're sharing>"
git fetch origin
git merge origin/main

If the merge conflicts, resolve it now, here:

• Edit each conflicted file; reconcile the <<<<<<< ======= >>>>>>> markers by keeping both sides' meaning — this is notes/knowledge, so merge the information, don't drop a side.
• git add the resolved files, then git commit to finish the merge.
• (git merge --abort backs out cleanly.)

Then land it — how depends on the layer:

# ungated — notes · personal — straight into main:
git push origin HEAD:main

# gated — knowledge — commit and STOP. Do NOT push anywhere:
# your commits wait on this loop's local `loop/<id>` ref as a PROPOSAL;
# the driver reviews & merges them in the Context UI.

# repos — follow the team's flow for that repo (PR, or direct push):
git push origin HEAD
gh pr create --base main --head "$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)" --fill

If git push is rejected (non-fast-forward — main moved while you worked), re-run git merge origin/main, resolve again, push again. It converges.

Rules

• Always merge, never rebase — both parents survive, so a bad merge is revertible.
• Resolve conflicts here, yourself — never hand off to another agent.
• notes / personal push straight to main. knowledge is gated: commit and stop — never push knowledge main; the proposal is reviewed in the Context UI. Repos follow the team's flow (PR or direct push).
• Trunk is main (your runtime context block names it if it ever differs).
• Solo works the same: origin is just a loopat-hosted local repo — same commands.
