/socialforge:finalize-month — Month Finalizer

Package all approved posts into the organized delivery folder structure.

Pre-Finalization Check

Step 0 — run the delivery audit, before any packaging:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/delivery_audit.py" --brand {brand} --month {YYYY-MM}

It re-derives the month's claims from the ledger and the disk: every status in the vocabulary, revision history landing on the recorded status, no ghost posts the calendar never knew, no gate bypassed on the way to delivery (force_finalized is surfaced loudly, not left as a buried flag), every FINAL post's referenced file existing and non-empty, the failure log loadable, and cost totals honest about incompleteness. Exit 1 means the delivery is claiming something the disk does not support — resolve the findings before packaging, never around them. The verdict lands in delivery-audit.json beside the tracker.

Then:

• All posts must be FINAL status (or --force to skip unapproved) WARNING: --force bypasses ALL approval gates. Use only in emergencies. All force-finalized posts are logged with force_finalized: true in status-tracker.json for audit trail — and the delivery audit reports every one of them as a violation the client-facing record must acknowledge.
• All compliance checks passed
• All required approvals obtained per approval-chain.json
• Calendar document assembled

If any posts are not FINAL: "3 posts still pending approval. Finalize anyway with --force, or resolve pending items first."

Process

1. Verify all approval gates
2. Organize files into folder structure
3. Generate publishing schedule (dates + times + platforms)
4. Generate production checklist (remaining manual tasks)
5. Upload to Google Drive (if connected)
6. Send completion notification via Slack/email
7. Remind the user: once the month has run, ingest its analytics export with /socialforge:ingest-performance — that is what lets next month's /socialforge:ideate-month compound measured wins instead of memory
