Do all of ds-ship except the merge. Hand the user an open PR that passes the merge gate.

The request grants the same test permission as ds-ship, and you may commit, push, rebase and --force-with-lease this task's branch. You may not merge.

Steps

Read ds-ship and follow its steps 1 to 6: branch, change, prove, review, file, watch.
Before the first push, turn off auto-merge and take the PR out of any merge queue. Check again before each push. If you cannot stop automatic merging, report that before you continue.
After the last fix, re-prove any behavior change and any non-trivial conflict resolution.
Fetch the base branch. Read the live PR: head SHA, base, checks, reviews, mergeable state. Confirm it is open and not a draft.
Apply the ds-ship merge gate and pick one verdict:
- Ready: the gate passes. Leave the PR open.
- Waiting on approval: only a required human approval is missing. Confirm that this is the real blocker.
- Blocked: say what stops it, what you tried and what is needed.
Report the PR link, final head SHA, verdict, proof, review outcome and remaining risks. State that the PR is open and unmerged.
