Ship Workflow

Automated release pipeline that takes a feature branch from working state to merged PR. Executes a deterministic sequence of pre-flight checks, testing, review, versioning, and PR creation — stopping immediately on any failure with specific remediation instructions.

Pipeline Overview

pre-flight → merge main → test → review → version bump → changelog → bisectable commits → push → PR

Each step has explicit stop conditions. The pipeline never auto-resolves ambiguity.
