Revert WIP Limit Command

Purpose: Restore WIP (Work In Progress) limit to original value after temporary adjustment

What This Command Does

When you temporarily adjust the WIP limit using the migration system:

bash plugins/specweave/hooks/lib/migrate-increment-work.sh adjust-wip 3

This command reverts it back to the original value (usually 2).

Usage

/sw:revert-wip-limit

What Gets Reverted

1. WIP Limit: Restored to original hardCap value (stored in config.limits.originalHardCap)
2. Timestamp: Cleared (wipAdjustedAt removed)
3. Backup: Original config backup is kept for safety

Example Workflow

# 1. WIP limit reached, temporarily adjust
bash plugins/specweave/hooks/lib/migrate-increment-work.sh adjust-wip 3

# 2. Work on both increments (20% productivity cost)

# 3. Complete one increment
/sw:done 0026

# 4. Revert WIP limit back to 2
/sw:revert-wip-limit

Output

✅ WIP limit reverted to original value: 2
   Previous limit: 3
   Adjusted at: 2025-11-11T15:30:00Z
   Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes

Implementation

You should:

1. Read .specweave/config.json
2. Check if limits.originalHardCap exists
3. If yes:
   • Restore limits.hardCap = limits.originalHardCap
   • Remove limits.wipAdjustedAt
   • Remove limits.originalHardCap
   • Save config
4. If no: Show "No temporary WIP adjustment to revert"

Safety

• ✅ Creates backup before reverting (.specweave/config.json.bak)
• ✅ Validates config structure
• ✅ Shows confirmation message
• ✅ Non-destructive (can manually restore from backup if needed)

Best Practice

Revert ASAP! Temporary WIP adjustments are for emergencies only. The longer you work with 3+ active increments, the more productivity suffers.

Research shows:

• 1 active increment = 100% productivity ✅
• 2 active increments = 80% productivity (20% cost) ⚠️
• 3+ active increments = 60% productivity (40% cost) ❌
