Best possible solution:

Keep the current main implementation from the merged canonical PR and close this obsolete branch rather than repairing a dirty duplicate.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

No for current main: the archived-card CLI mismatch is visible in the v2026.6.10 source, but current main has the compact-text filter plus JSON preservation. The original issue remains source-backed against the release tag, not current main.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

No for this branch as a landing path. The best fix is already on main: filter compact text by default, keep JSON full-list behavior, and document/test that compatibility boundary.

Security review:

Security review cleared: The diff only changes Workboard CLI filtering and a focused unit test; it adds no dependency, workflow, secret, install, package-resolution, or code-execution surface.

What I checked:

• Current main implementation: Current main adds --include-archived and filters archived cards only for non-JSON compact text output, preserving full-card JSON output for automation. (extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts:133, 78f7de01c1aa)
• Current main regression tests: Current main tests both compact text hiding/revealing archived cards and JSON preserving archived cards by default. (extensions/workboard/src/cli.test.ts:109, 78f7de01c1aa)
• Current docs contract: Current docs document --include-archived for compact text output and state that JSON output keeps the full card list, including archived cards. Public docs: docs/cli/workboard.md. (docs/cli/workboard.md:60, 78f7de01c1aa)
• Sibling Workboard surfaces: The slash command and tool already hide archived cards by default, while the store remains an unfiltered full-card boundary. (extensions/workboard/src/tools.ts:237, 78f7de01c1aa)
• Provenance from merged canonical PR: fix(workboard): hide archived cards in CLI list by default #94562 merged as d15e89a and its diff added the JSON-compatible Workboard CLI fix, tests, and docs. (extensions/workboard/src/cli.ts:143, d15e89a83e61)
• Fix timestamp: The merged canonical fix commit is dated 2026-06-24T10:57:06+08:00. (d15e89a83e61)
