Land a reviewed pull request: discover the open PR for the current branch, push any unpushed commits, wait for CI to go green, then squash-merge it so the PR title (which may carry a version) lands as the commit subject. Handles a PR that has fallen behind its base (rebase + force-with-lease) and surfaces branch-protection rejections verbatim. Project-agnostic — it knows nothing about how any project versions itself. Invoke ONLY on explicit ship intent — the user says "ship it", "land the PR", "land this", or runs "/shipit". Landing merges, which is irreversible: never infer ship intent from a PR merely being approved, green, or finished.

shipit lands a pull request that already passed review. It pushes any unpushed local commits, waits for CI to go green, and squash-merges. The PR title then lands as the commit subject on the base branch. If a project puts a version in the title, that version shows up in git log. It finalizes an existing open PR, and never opens one. It is generic, and it does no versioning, changelog editing, or release work. If a project assigns a version at land time, that happens in a separate project-specific step before /shipit (in this repo, the dev version-bump skill — see…
