Nuke Release

Review's sibling, pointed at the shipping surface instead of a diff (map: references/family-map.md). What breaks a release is rarely deep code — it is the README's install command that no longer works, the version that says 3.2 in one manifest and 3.4 in another, the count in the docs that drifted from the artifact, the debug flag left on. Every one of those is mechanically checkable, so the protocol checks them mechanically and reports SHIP or DON'T SHIP with blockers. Never edits anything.

Arguments

[mode] — light (default) | full | plan (preflight, print, STOP). [scope] — a subpath (one package of a monorepo) | default: the whole repo. --ask — pause at the preflight plan for confirmation; default is no gate — the plan prints and the run starts (references/preflight.md). --spec — always write the mini fix-spec.

Modes
