gpd-compare-branches

Invoke the compare-branches workflow, which lists all hypothesis/* branches, extracts STATE.md and SUMMARY.md data from each via git show, and builds a structured comparison table including the parent branch as baseline.

For matched quantities with uncertainties, tension equals the absolute difference divided by the combined sigma (quadrature sum). Values without uncertainties use relative-difference thresholds: under 1% consistent, 1-5% mild, 5-10% notable, over 10% large.

Yes. Single-branch mode compares the one hypothesis branch against its parent branch as the baseline, letting you evaluate a hypothesis without needing a second alternative.

Branches missing STATE.md are marked as having no state data. If no branch has any SUMMARY.md files, the workflow exits with a message telling you to complete at least one plan per branch before comparing.

No. Merging, deleting, or exporting the comparison always requires explicit user confirmation. Merge conflicts trigger a checkpoint asking you to resolve them manually before continuing.

Branches with no completed plans cannot be meaningfully compared, and purely analytical branches skip the numerical comparison step. The workflow also avoids force-pushing or rebasing hypothesis branches.
