/smith-ship — ship the current change end-to-end

Drive the change in the current worktree from review to merged, following smith conventions. Run phases in order; stop and surface only on the must-ask triggers in @smith-gh-pr/SKILL.md (Review Convergence Protocol). Argument (if given) is the intended PR scope/title.

Procedure

Load and follow @smith-gh-pr/SKILL.md, @smith-git/SKILL.md, @smith-style/SKILL.md, @smith-worktree/SKILL.md, and @smith-subagents/SKILL.md.

1. Isolate — check git status --porcelain FIRST: if the checkout is dirty, STOP and pick ONE path: (a) commit or stash the changes, then EnterWorktree; or (b) branch in place (git switch -c …) and continue in the current checkout — no EnterWorktree at all (the tree is still dirty and the worktree-dirty-guard hook would block it; a new worktree starts clean, stranding uncommitted changes). worktree.baseRef: head only preserves already-committed unpushed work, never uncommitted changes. Then, if on the EnterWorktree path in a background session, enter the worktree (see @smith-worktree) and rename the branch to the @smith-style convention before any push.
2. Review to convergence — run the /smith-review loop; it owns the tool marshaling, per-round receipts, and convergence criteria. Do not ship until it reports converged.
3. Commit — logically and semantically atomic; conventional subject ≤72, body ≤72/line, Assisted-by: trailer (see @smith-style). One concern per commit.
4. Push & PR — push the renamed branch; gh pr create --base <default> --assignee @me with a What/Why/Testing body ending with the Assisted-by: line (@smith-style). Link issues only if real. The body and title are content: show them and create on an explicit yes (@smith-guidance Harmless).
5. Address review — follow @smith-gh-pr (Code Review Cycle, Posting Review Findings) for fetching, replying, attribution, suggestion blocks, and the content-vs-mechanics gate. Ship-specific: fix high-confidence findings with fix + amend (not new commits); after each push rerun the /smith-review loop to a fresh converged verdict (full receipt + criteria — a mechanics-only recheck is not convergence); confirm CodeRabbit actually ran before trusting 0 (@smith-gh-pr "CodeRabbit fails OPEN").
6. Merge — on a converged verdict for the LATEST pushed commit (earlier convergence does not carry across new commits), gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch (targets the current branch's PR). If this branch has an open child PR stacked on it, OMIT --delete-branch and follow @smith-stacks instead.
7. Sync & clean up — ExitWorktree (remove), then ff-only pull the repo's DEFAULT branch in the primary checkout; clear any squash-merge orphan branch (@smith-worktree Sync-After-Squash-Merge).
