# Patpat Ship

> Commit and open or update a ready pull request after verified work when delivery intent exists, and merge only with explicit land or merge language. Use at the end of an active Patpat implementation and for explicit ship, land, merge, publish, or deploy requests.

# Patpat Ship

When invoked directly, read the [operating protocol](../patpat-loop/references/operating-protocol.md) and [execution graph](../patpat-loop/references/execution-graph.md) in full. Do not load the router.

Read [preserve safety](../patpat-loop/principles/preserve-safety.md), [proof over proxy](../patpat-loop/principles/proof-over-proxy.md), and the [operating protocol](../patpat-loop/references/operating-protocol.md).

After verify and review pass, require delivery intent: explicit commit, PR, or ship language; overnight or continuation; or explicit land or merge. Explicit `/patpat` activation alone is not delivery authority. Also require that no higher-priority repository rule forbids delivery. Then apply [default delivery](../patpat-loop/playbooks/default-delivery.md): commit the in-scope diff, use a non-force push, and open or update one ready pull request unless the user opted out or the path was read-only.

Apply [authorized delivery](../patpat-loop/playbooks/authorized-delivery.md) to merge, publish, or deploy. Only explicit `land` or `merge` language authorizes merge. Overnight, going to bed, or don't stop drives a verified pull request to merge-ready and stops. Do not land a real CI failure. Retry a flake once.

For `watch CI`, `babysit`, `get it green`, or unattended merge-ready work, use [PR babysit](../patpat-loop/playbooks/pr-babysit.md). On GitHub.com, capture one bounded read-only observation with [`scripts/github_observe.py`](scripts/github_observe.py), then evaluate it with [`scripts/pr_watch.py`](scripts/pr_watch.py). Keep expected repository, pull request, head, base, required checks, deadline, and attempt budget explicit. Source required checks from the repository's verified branch policy or CI contract. An empty required-check set remains blocked, including when the legacy `--allow-no-required-checks` flag is present, because the current observation does not bind provider policy evidence. Rebind on `stale`, reobserve on `pending`, stop and diagnose on `blocked`, and stop merge-ready on `ready`. Neither script grants delivery authority or mutates the provider.

Inspect version-control state, unrelated dirty files, and secrets before any git write. Workers never ship. Re-check the remote revision after the action.

Pause for production deploy, package publish, force-push, secret rotation, and risky auth, billing, or permission changes. Explain blast radius, rollback, and verification before continuing.
