Ship tasks merge without a model review and their code was first read by
the batch review right before a beta: one session over the whole range,
ten to forty-five minutes on the release path, days after the merge. The
gate also knew a single document (SHIP-REVIEW-<tag>.md) and covered tasks
by number only, so a commit that landed after the review under the same
trailer still counted as read.
- scripts/ship-review.mjs: the patch set of a task is the sorted
`git patch-id --stable` of its range commits, without `Release:`
commits (the beta candidate carries every Issue: of the line) and
commits touching only docs/reviews/**; the diff options are explicit
so a local git config cannot change it. shipCoverage rates every ship
task from the documents of the same base (candidate and origin/dev,
latest publication wins): clean, high, stale, none; documents without
`patches` cover by number. `tag=nightly` is a reserved mode: the
candidate is required, the document is
SHIP-REVIEW-<base>-dev-<sha12>.md, only none/stale tasks are read and
nothing runs when nothing is uncovered. The beta reads the same delta
(force=true reads everything, as before); the brief names what the
night already read. The gate refuses none/stale with the command and
keeps the High refusal with force=true; all clean passes without a tag
document. The machine block gains `mode` and `patches` at its end.
comment-high writes one line per task of a nightly document with High,
once per document (hp:ship-review-high).
- _ship-review.yml: prepare refuses nightly without a candidate before
defaulting to the dev tip, computes the document from base and SHA and
no longer reads a prepare failure behind `| tee` as "no ship tasks";
publish takes mode and patches from prepare, never from the model
result; a new step comments High at night with HP_PROCESS_TOKEN.
- _nightly.yml: the Validate run SHA is a separate step output before
the wait; a new job dispatches ship-review.yml -f tag=nightly on it
whatever Validate's outcome, waits only for the run to appear and
never colours the night. Thin files in main are unchanged.
- reviews-index/reviews-archive: the nightly name is a ship document
with nightly: true; a beta base archives with its line, a stable base
with the nearest archived line newer than the base, or stays.
- PROCESS.md §11.7, §10.4 and REVIEWER.md describe the nightly mode,
patch set, coverage and beta delta; the digest test pins the key rule.
Tests run the prepare, publish and comment steps and the nightly steps
on real bash with real git in temporary repositories; only push
transport and gh are faked.
