Clean up after completed or abandoned orc sessions — removes workspace state, registry entry, git worktree, and optionally the merged branch. Destructive; always previews and asks first. Workspace-aware.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# $orc-cleanup
Close the loop on finished orc work: remove the workspace state, the worktree and, when safe, the local feature branch.
## Arguments
- `--auto[=guided|full]` — autopilot level for this run; overrides `interaction_policy`. Ladder and hard-outward exemption: `orc-gates` §6.
- `<session-id-or-branch>` — optional. Clean exactly one session, by `sessionId` (`orc-state sessions`, schema `orc-state-protocol`) or branch name, sanitized or raw.
- `--all-completed` — clean every session whose `status` is `completed` or `abandoned`. Every safety check still applies per session.
- `--dry-run` — print what would happen; change nothing. Recommended for the first run.
- `--per-repo` — workspace mode: clean each linked repo as its PR merges. Use only when abandoning some repos (rare).
- `--down-volumes` — also remove a torn-down environment's named volumes. Default keeps them: the next boot reuses DB data.
NOTE: at `guided` or `full`, the standard plan (state dir, clean worktree, merged branch) auto-applies after printing. Anomalies still gate at every level: partial workspace merges, unmerged branches, a dirty worktree.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.693b476, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
