Release v6.9.0 - Streamlined Ship Orchestration · marcusgoll/Spec-Flow

Streamlined Ship Orchestration

60% faster deployments with zero manual gates

GitHub Actions Auto-Fix CI: New workflow automatically fixes lint/format issues on PR creation
- Runs PSScriptAnalyzer formatting for PowerShell scripts
- Runs markdownlint auto-fix for Markdown files
- Runs jq formatting for JSON files
- Auto-commits fixes and comments on PR
Docker Build Validation: Added Docker build check to /optimize command (6th parallel check)
- Validates Dockerfile builds successfully before deployment
- Automatically skips if no Dockerfile present
- Generates optimization-docker.md report with PASSED/FAILED/SKIPPED status
- Critical blocker if Docker build fails

Streamlined Ship Orchestration: Reduced deployment time by 60% (25-35 min vs 65-165 min)
- Removed /preview manual gate (all testing now in staging)
- Removed interactive version selection from /ship-prod (defaults to patch bump, use --version flag to override)
- Removed manual staging validation checklist (auto-generated validation reports with E2E, Lighthouse, rollback test, health checks)
- Parallelized pre-flight + optimize checks (saves ~10 min)
Platform API-Based Deployment IDs: Replaced log parsing with direct API calls
- Vercel API for deployment IDs (more reliable than grep)
- Railway GraphQL API for deployment tracking
- Netlify API for deployment verification
- Fallback to log parsing if credentials missing

Preview Phase Removed: /preview command archived to preview.md.deprecated
- All UI/UX testing now happens in staging environment
- No local manual testing gate before deployment
/ship-prod Version Selection: No longer prompts for version interactively
- Defaults to patch bump (most common)
- Use --version major|minor flag to override
workflow-state.yaml Schema: preview phase and manual_gates.preview removed
- Existing features may need workflow-state.yaml migration
