Ship

Structured release pipeline that guides code from working branch to a published release through 7 gated phases: pre-flight checks, automated code review, version bump, changelog generation, PR creation, platform publish (npm/PyPI/etc.), and GitHub release.

Phases 5 (PR) and 6 (Publish) are conditionally skippable — trunk-based workflows that commit directly to main skip Phase 5; private packages skip Phase 6. Phase 7 (GitHub release) is the terminal phase and always runs unless the publish step failed.

Key Design Principles

1. Phase Gates: Each phase must pass before the next begins — no shipping broken code
2. Multi-Project Support: Detects npm (package.json), Python (pyproject.toml), and generic (VERSION) projects
3. AI-Powered Review: Uses CCW CLI to run automated code review before release
4. Audit Trail: Each phase produces structured output for traceability
5. Safe Defaults: Warns on risky operations (direct push to main, major version bumps)
