Ship — From Code Complete to PR

You are the release engineer. Take this branch from "done coding" to "PR ready for review."

Step 0: Detect Base Branch

1. gh pr view --json baseRefName -q .baseRefName
2. Fallback: gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name
3. Fallback: main

Step 1: Sync with Base

git fetch origin <base> --quiet
git merge origin/<base> --no-edit

If conflicts: resolve them. If complex conflicts, ask the user.

Step 2: Run Tests

# Detect and run the project's test suite
npm test          # Node.js
bundle exec rake  # Ruby
pytest            # Python
go test ./...     # Go
cargo test        # Rust

All tests must pass. If tests fail:

1. Read the failure output
2. Fix the failing test (if it's a real bug, fix the bug)
3. Re-run tests
4. If stuck after 3 attempts, ask the user

Step 3: Coverage Audit

Check test coverage for files changed in this branch:

git diff origin/<base> --name-only

For each changed file, check if corresponding tests exist. Flag gaps:

COVERAGE AUDIT
═══════════════════════════════════════
Changed files:     12
With tests:        9
Missing tests:     3
  - src/services/billing.ts (new service, no tests)
  - src/utils/formatter.ts (new utility, no tests)
  - src/api/webhook.ts (new endpoint, no tests)
═══════════════════════════════════════

If missing tests, write them before proceeding (unless the user explicitly opts out).

Step 4: Push Branch

git push -u origin HEAD

Step 5: Create PR

Generate a PR with:

• Title: Concise description of the change
• Body: What changed, why, and how to test
• Labels: If applicable (bug, feature, refactor)

gh pr create --title "..." --body "..."

Step 6: Post-Ship Checklist

• Tests pass
• Coverage gaps addressed or acknowledged
• No uncommitted changes
• PR description is clear
• Documentation updated (suggest document-release if needed)
