Step 18-H: Handoff without a PR (automation lanes)

Replaces the pr-body section when the run must not open a PR (--no-pr, an automation lane, an unattended parent said so). Nothing here publishes.

1. Verify-only checks: write Step 16's per-lane pass/fail/skip counts, naming requires-remote lanes, to .gstack/tmp/ship-gate.json as the pr-body section does, then (with its Issue links flags; ask nothing):

   ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-issue-links --base <base> --out .gstack/tmp/issues.json
   ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-ship-receipt write --base <base> --gate @.gstack/tmp/ship-gate.json --issues @.gstack/tmp/issues.json
   

2. Send the completion message, identifiers first, in this order: the SHIP_RECEIPT: line and receipt block (pr: none); branch: and sha: (git rev-parse HEAD), pushed or not pushed; inputs: the plan or issue, the base SHA and the spend cap; before/after: one row per claimed metric, measured on base and on this SHA with the command used; escalation: the one condition that stops the merge (a requires-remote lane, an open gate finding, an unverified claim) or none. issues: its lines, unpromoted candidates and lookup failures. Full thread ids (jam_…) cross-thread; nothing precedes the identifiers.
3. Skip Steps 19 and 21. Run Step 20 with "version":null when NO_VERSION applied.

Multi-lane runs

Lanes push a WIP commit after each step and gate a pushed SHA.
