ship-loop-merge

name	ship-loop-merge
description	Merge to main child loop. Default mode (auto_merge=false) HALTS at "ready for human review" — escalates to ship-loop-escalations.md and lets the master loop continue monitoring CI. Auto-merge mode (auto_merge=true) requires literal --enable-auto-merge flag at master-loop activation; runs `gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch` only when CI is green. Use standalone via /loop ship-loop-merge or wired into the master orchestrator.

ship-loop-merge — merge to main child loop

Activation

• Standalone: /loop ship-loop-merge (manual merge from CEO after review)
• Orchestrated: invoked by ship-loop-master when:
  • pr.state === 'opened'
  • pr.ci_state === 'green' (master polled gh pr checks and updated state)
  • merge.state === 'not_attempted'

Pre-flight

1. Read ship-loop-state.json. Confirm:
   • pr.url populated
   • pr.number populated
   • pr.ci_state === 'green'
   • merge.state === 'not_attempted'
2. Re-verify CI fresh (in case state is stale): gh pr checks <num> --repo CleanExpo/Synthex
