Gate Push

Run /dh:gate-push <branch-name> to resolve branch context into a /dh:complete-implementation input and execute that quality-gate pipeline.

Required input

branch_name = $ARGUMENTS (must be non-empty)

If empty: stop with:

COMPLETION BLOCKED — Missing required argument <branch-name>.

Then re-run:
/dh:gate-push <branch-name>

Branch → backlog lookup algorithm

Normalize branch_name into a lookup slug:
- Strip leading branch type prefix when present (feature/, fix/, chore/, etc.) by removing only the prefix up to and including the first / character
- Then replace any remaining /, _, and - with spaces (for example feature/auth/login-fix → auth login fix)
- Trim whitespace
- Store the result as normalized_slug
- Expected pattern is type/slug (e.g., feature/foo-bar); multi-segment branches (type/segment1/segment2) are supported and normalize with the same replacement rule
Strategy 1 (title match):
- mcp__plugin_dh_backlog__backlog_list(title="<normalized_slug>")
Strategy 2 (topic match fallback, only if Strategy 1 has zero results):
- mcp__plugin_dh_backlog__backlog_list(topic="<normalized_slug>")
If exactly one item is returned, use it as match.
If multiple items are returned, do not guess — stop and follow the No-match / unresolved fallback procedure below.

Resolve complete-implementation input

From match, resolve in this order:

If match.issue exists (issue number field from backlog output) → target = #<match.issue>
Else if match.plan exists and non-empty → target = <match.plan> (use the backlog item's plan field directly)
Else no resolvable target

Execute gate pipeline

If target is resolved:

Skill(skill: "dh:complete-implementation", args: "<target>")

/dh:complete-implementation is the source of truth for the quality-gate phases and final push/PR behavior. Do not duplicate its gate logic here.

No-match / unresolved fallback

If no backlog match is found, a match exists but has neither issue nor plan, or multiple matches are found:

Do not prompt mid-loop.
Stop with:

COMPLETION BLOCKED — Branch cannot be resolved to a single backlog issue/plan.

Required precondition:
- Ensure branch-to-backlog mapping is decided at workflow start (for example via `/dh:work-backlog-item --auto ...`) or at the start of `/dh:implement-feature`.
- Ensure the matched backlog item has either an issue number or a linked plan.

Then re-run:
/dh:gate-push <branch-name>

Success check

After successful completion, verify PR visibility for the branch.

GitHub backend only — this step requires a GitHub remote configured with the gh CLI. For beads and other non-GitHub backends, skip this step and verify via your backend's native tooling (e.g., bd show <issue-id> for merge-request state).

if gh repo view --json name >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  gh pr list --head <branch-name>
else
  echo "Remote is not a GitHub repository — PR visibility check not applicable for this backend."
fi

Use the original input branch (branch_name), not normalized_slug, for --head.
