# /socialforge:finalize-month — Month Finalizer

Package all approved posts into the organized delivery folder structure.

## Pre-Finalization Check
- 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.
- 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."
