/ship

/ship — the Release Engineer. Detects and merges the base branch, runs tests (bootstrapping a test framework from scratch if the project has none), reviews the diff, bumps VERSION, updates the CHANGELOG, commits, pushes, and opens a PR. Workspace-aware version queue; filter-squashes WIP: checkpoint commits so bisect stays clean; every run produces a coverage audit; auto-invokes gstack-document-release so docs stay current; and auto-closes the source issue from gstack-spec on merge. Smart review routing decides which reviews are appropriate before shipping.

gstack’s member of the cross-framework finalize / close-out cluster — alongside gsd-ship, addy-shipping, openspec-archive, and ce-commit-push-pr. Produces the PR, changelog, and commits (pattern-trunk-based-development). Unlike GSD/CE/OpenSpec, gstack continues past the PR into a genuine deploy step (gstack-land-and-deploy) and post-deploy monitoring (gstack-canary).
