clean-slate — wipe board-steward to a fresh-user state

Tears down every piece of board-steward runtime state so the next reinstall
behaves exactly like a brand-new user: no stale server holding a port, no
.onboarded marker suppressing the first-run picker, no leftover board.json.

Always backs up first. Everything removed is copied to a timestamped
~/board-steward-cleanslate-backup-<ts>/ dir, restorable by hand.

When to use

• The user wants to rehearse the first-run experience ("watch the cards fly").
• They fear a reinstall will reuse an old port/server and skip the popup.
• They say: clean slate, wipe the board, kill all ports, reset, fresh user test.

What it removes

1. Servers + ports — kills every listener on the board port range (7891–7999) and stray serve.py --project processes.
2. Autostart — boots out + deletes the launchd agent (com.boardsteward.*).
3. ~/.board-steward/ — the port registry and the .onboarded marker (this is what re-arms the first-run picker).
4. board.json(s) — plus runtime sidecars (index.json, .spawn.lock, recon_pending.json, extraction_*.json, .opened-*, .subagent_queue.jsonl, .stop_recon_state.json, .card_before_edit_state.json) for every registered board + the default repo board.
5. Plugin — claude plugin uninstall board-steward@workboard (skip with --no-plugin).
6. Plugin cache — ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/board-steward (skip with --no-plugin). Uninstall alone leaves the cache, and installs key by version — so a same-version reinstall replays stale cached code. Clearing it makes a plain reinstall pull fresh repo code with no manual version bump.

How to run

The script is bundled next to this file. Run it:

bash ~/.claude/skills/clean-slate/clean_slate.sh            # full wipe + plugin uninstall
bash ~/.claude/skills/clean-slate/clean_slate.sh --dry-run  # preview, change nothing
bash ~/.claude/skills/clean-slate/clean_slate.sh --no-plugin # keep plugin, wipe runtime only
bash ~/.claude/skills/clean-slate/clean_slate.sh --repo=/path/to/repo  # non-default board repo

Default board repo is ~/Desktop/WorkBoard (override with --repo= or BOARD_REPO).

After running

1. Reinstall the plugin: claude plugin install board-steward@workboard --scope user. Because the cache was cleared (step 6), this pulls fresh code from the repo even if the version is unchanged — no manual bump needed.
2. Open a NEW terminal, cd ~, start claude — the first-run picker should fire
   (because .onboarded is gone), enumerate the user's projects, and on pick fly
   the cards into a fresh board.
3. Verify clean state:
   • curl -s --max-time 0.4 http://127.0.0.1:7891/health → empty (no server)
   • ls ~/.board-steward → "No such file or directory"

Restore (if needed)

Everything is in the printed backup dir. To bring the old board back:
cp <backup>/boardjson_*.json ~/Desktop/WorkBoard/board/board.json and
cp -R <backup>/dot-board-steward ~/.board-steward, then restart the server /
reinstall autostart.
