What Work Prune does

description: Prune completed requests and work items whose history is already durably recorded, keeping the work files focused on live work. argument-hint: "[before ]"

Trim completed items out of the work files. The model is an operating model for live work, not an archive — the durable record of shipped work is the changelog, git history, release tags, tests, code, and decision records.
