refactor(me): replace ship fan-out with shipping-and-launch renamed to ship

[baleen37]

Summary

• Remove the parallel fan-out orchestrator ship skill and promote shipping-and-launch to the ship name
• The two skills overlapped in purpose; the checklist-driven pre-launch skill is the one worth keeping
• Update plugins/me/README.md and internal references accordingly

Changes

• Delete plugins/me/skills/ship/ (old fan-out orchestrator)
• Rename plugins/me/skills/shipping-and-launch/ → plugins/me/skills/ship/
• Update new ship/SKILL.md: frontmatter name, title, and remove now-self-referential /ship handoff notes
• Collapse two ship-related entries in plugins/me/README.md into one

Test plan

• git mv preserves history for the renamed skill
• No remaining shipping-and-launch references under plugins/
• CI green

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated deployment workflow documentation to emphasize staged rollouts, monitoring, and operational readiness over previous go/no-go decision model.
  • Consolidated deployment guidance with comprehensive pre-launch checklists, feature-flag lifecycle guidance, rollback strategies, and post-deployment verification procedures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The /ship skill documentation was completely redesigned from a parallel fan-out review orchestrator to a production-launch readiness playbook. The README overview was updated to emphasize staged rollout and operational monitoring. New sections cover pre-launch checklists, feature-flag lifecycle management, staged rollout decision thresholds, error-reporting instrumentation templates, rollback procedures, and post-deploy verification checkpoints.

Changes

Ship Skill Redesign

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Ship skill core framework and overview plugins/me/README.md, plugins/me/skills/ship/SKILL.md	The Ship lifecycle step description in README was updated from fan-out launch review to emphasize staged rollout, monitoring, and production checks. The ship skill opening replaced the parallel fan-out orchestrator model with a "Prepares production launches" framing covering automation policy and execution workflow.
Pre-launch checklist and feature-flag strategy plugins/me/skills/ship/SKILL.md	Structured pre-launch checklist with items across code quality, security, performance, accessibility, infrastructure, and documentation. Feature-flag strategy section includes lifecycle timeline, ownership/expiration rules, nesting prohibitions, and CI coverage requirements.
Staged rollout and monitoring observability plugins/me/skills/ship/SKILL.md	Staged rollout guidance with explicit decision/threshold table for advancing, holding, or rolling back across stages. Monitoring and Observability section expanded with error-reporting template snippets for client boundaries and server middleware, plus first-hour post-launch verification checklist.
Rollback strategy and post-deploy verification plugins/me/skills/ship/SKILL.md	Rollback strategy template with trigger conditions, rollback steps, database considerations, and time-to-rollback guidance. Added "See Also", "Common Rationalizations", "Red Flags" sections, and comprehensive pre/post-deploy verification checklist covering health, error rates, latency, logs, and rollback readiness.

Poem

🐰 The ship sets sail with checklist in hand,
Staged rollouts guard the promised land,
With monitoring eyes and rollback plans,
Production launches flow like desert sands,
From preflight checks to post-deploy cheer—
Safe sailing draws ever near! 🚀
