The parent gitlink auto-commit change landed across implementation follow-ups, but the finish flow needed manual cleanup because the temporary worktrees were intentionally outside the recorded managed root. This records the merged PRs, cleanup proof, and the parent protected-branch hook outcome in the change tasks.

Constraint: Cleanup evidence must survive outside chat and PR logs.

Rejected: Leave tasks.md partially unchecked | contradicts the repo completion contract after the PRs had already merged.

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Keep finish evidence in the OpenSpec tasks file when cleanup requires manual recovery.

Tested: openspec validate agent-codex-auto-commit-parent-subrepo-upgrades-2026-04-23-11-59 --strict; git diff --check

Not-tested: Runtime code unchanged in this bookkeeping commit
