# /silver:ship - Phase Ship

SB-owned phase shipping. This absorbs the useful behavior SB previously took
from GSD ship and PR branch helpers.

This is phase-level ship, not milestone release. Use `silver:release` for
versioned publication.

## Output

Write or update the ship section in `.planning/STATE.md`, current phase
SUMMARY/VERIFICATION, or a PR description draft.

## Process

1. Display `SILVER BULLET > SHIP`.
2. Confirm required gates have passed:
   - `silver:verify`;
   - `silver:review`;
   - `silver:secure`;
   - `silver:validate` where the workflow requires it;
   - `verify-tests` when release or delivery risk requires fresh tests.
3. Run `silver:branch-finish` on non-main branches.
4. Check git status and separate unrelated user changes from ship scope.
5. Prepare PR or merge notes with:
   - problem and solution summary;
   - tests and verification evidence;
   - risk and rollback notes;
   - docs and artifact updates;
   - deferred items.
6. Check CI or provide exact missing CI status.
7. Update planning state only after gates and ship action are consistent.

## Exit Gate

Ship passes only when the branch/PR action is clear, required gates are fresh,
and the user can see exactly what is being delivered.
