Ship Cycle

Category: Product · Sub-category: product-misc

type:audit

Issue-driven development orchestrator. Turns improvement intent into a well-specified, bilingual issue set; clusters issues into milestones that map 1:1 to semver versions; enforces branch, commit, and PR conventions (GitHub Flow — `<type>/<issue-N>-<slug>`, Conventional Commits, mandatory PR template, rebase-first merge); generates changelog entries and release notes deterministically from closed issues; leaves a durable audit trail for the next AI session. Direct-call only — not part of the /vibesubin parallel sweep. Two tracks — **GitHub track** (default) on GitHub with authenticated `gh` CLI; **PRD track** on any other host, using local markdown files under `docs/release-cycle/vX.Y.Z/` as the durable audit trail. Operator picks at Step 1.5. Every external mutation follows preview → confirm → mutate; created resources carry idempotency markers so re-runs noop instead of duplicating.
