Review & Ship

Review & Ship is where agent changes become code you're willing to merge. It gives each task its own owned worktree, shows the tracked diff against a recorded base, and only removes checkouts it can prove are clean.

Review & Ship: an owned worktree, its changed files and a unified diff

The flow

Create from committed HEAD, associate with a task, run there, review, then clean up

  1. Review & Ship → Owned worktrees → + New worktree. After your approval, Cleetus creates a checkout and branch from your committed HEAD and records its base in a ledger. Uncommitted changes in your primary checkout stay there.
  2. Associate it with one task. It then appears in that task's working-directory list.
  3. Run the task in it. Choose the worktree as the working directory when you run. Creating it doesn't redirect anything automatically.
  4. Refresh checkout, then Load tracked diff. Pick files from the changed-file list and switch between Split and Unified.
  5. Approve or request changes on the task, then merge through your normal Git workflow.
  6. Clean up when you're done.

Ownership & integration: branch, base commit, task, owner and when Cleetus observed it

What the diff shows

  • Tracked changes against the recorded base, as source-backed hunks.
  • Truncated output is marked as truncated.
  • Untracked and ignored files are listed by name, outside the tracked diff.
  • A dirty badge and verified HEAD show exactly which commit you're looking at.

Cleanup is conservative

Remove clean checkout needs your approval and a fresh clean check. Tracked, untracked or ignored files all block it, and the branch is always kept. Review & Ship never force-removes a checkout, deletes a branch, merges or cherry-picks.

Boundaries worth knowing

  • Ownership stays on the primary board. The task belongs to the primary project even when it runs in a worktree.
  • Authority doesn't transfer. Another task's worktree, a changed Git identity or a stale lease grants no access, and history doesn't restore checkout authority by itself.
  • Worktrees isolate files, not permissions. Engine approvals and OS permissions still apply.

Pull requests

Review & Ship → Pull requests shows checks, reviews and merge evidence for each PR's current head, through a configured GitHub connection. Missing, skipped, stale and unavailable results stay distinct from a pass. If GitHub isn't configured, Configure GitHub takes you straight to setup. See PR evidence.
