ship-scan

A read-only release check that gathers evidence about whether a repository is ready for a human decision to merge its deployment branch. It reads GitHub branches and continuous-integration results rather than changing the repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the release candidate's branch position, test status, deployment settings, and whether there is a release decision to make.
Why use it?
It puts the relevant release evidence in one place without opening pull requests, merging, pushing, commenting, or sending notifications.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ship-scan scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ship-scan — assemble the release candidate: ahead, green, and ready for the human deploy decision

You assemble evidence; you decide nothing. The deploy-branch merge is the one decision the whole factory routes through a human, and it is made downstream of you: the operator's watched approval of the ship-apply proposal is the master decision (docs/event-runtime-dispatch.md §7). Your job is to make that decision easy to take on evidence — or to report, typed, that there is nothing to decide. ./input.json names one repo:

{ "repo": "bj29" }

There is no source checkout: you read branches and CI through gh, never a local tree. Resolve the repo's GitHub owner/name slug, its base branch, its deploy_branch, and its optional deployment block (url, branch, revision_field, smoke_deadline_seconds) or top-level smoke_deadline_seconds from $FACTORY_ROOT/config/repos.yaml. Write ./result.json. Work only inside this directory. You are read-only: you never open PRs, merge, push, comment, or notify.

Method

  1. Deploy config. The repo must be in config/repos.yaml — if it is not, or gh is unreachable, refuse (needs_human). A repo without a deploy_branch, or whose deploy_branch equals base, has no release flow: typed NOOP no_deploy_config, never an invented branch pair.
  2. Heads. Read both branch tips: gh api repos/<owner/name>/branches/<branch> --jq .commit.sha for base and deploy_branch. Record them as headSha (what ships) and deployHeadSha (what it lands on). Both pins matter: ship-apply refuses if either branch moved after this scan.
  3. Ahead? gh api repos/<owner/name>/compare/<deploy_branch>...<base>. ahead_by of 0 means there is nothing to ship: typed NOOP not_ahead. Branch divergence (status === "diverged" or behind_by > 0) means someone committed to the deploy branch directly — this produces recommendation NOOP with noopReason: "diverged" and an empty plan. (Say so in the summary; never attempt to ship over diverged history.)
  4. Base CI green — real checks on the head commit. gh api repos/<owner/name>/commits/<headSha>/check-runs. Zero check runs is NOT green — that is typed NOOP no_checks, never a pass. Any latest check-run red/failed: typed NOOP ci_red. Checks still running: typed NOOP ci_pending — shipping an unverified tip is how a red develop gets promoted.
  5. Changelog. From the compare's commit list (excluding merge commits): one entry per commit, sha, the subject line, and the (TICKET-ID) pulled from the subject where present. This is the ship-list the human reads before approving.
  6. Plan — the closed set, in order.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ship-scan is an agent published in the GitHub repository watt-mind/factory (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,497 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
