dsh-shipgate

Before merging code, teams often face a familiar pain: CI logs are scattered across platforms, and hand-assembled summaries are neither auditable nor reproducible. ShipGate is a local-first, pre-merge receipt generator that reads an explicit Git comparison together with caller-supplied check evidence, then writes a deterministic JSON Release Receipt and a portable Markdown summary. It does not execute any checks, upload source code, or claim correctness—its boundary is clearly defined.

In terms of capability, an optional .shipgate.yml configuration lets a team declare required check IDs, severity overrides, CI failure conditions, and path-redaction patterns, turning the criteria for a passing merge from an oral convention into a written, machine-readable contract. It can run as a local CLI in advisory mode or as a GitHub Action on your own runner that enforces the configured policy and blocks the merge when the policy demands it.

Who is it for? If you value a local-first, auditable, zero-source-leak merge gate and want the check evidence plus the final verdict packaged into a single portable receipt, ShipGate is a lightweight option with a sharply defined scope. It can also be mounted as a DeepSeek Harness bundle, exposing the same local inspect core through the shipgate_inspect tool.
