name: run-deploy description: "PILOT&DEPLOY gate G4 — deploy the experiment for REAL human data collection. HARD gate: human approval + Cornell IRB attestation + spend cap + G2/G3 green. Never auto-passed at any autonomy level."

apsy:run-deploy — gate G4 (Deploy Approved) + deploy

EXECUTION CONTRACT. THE hard gate for real money / real people. Never auto-pass at any autonomy level (config/ethics-policy.md §1.2, §3). Applies the psynet-engineer lens + the human.

STEP 1 — Preconditions

Require gate_statuses.G2 == pass and gate_statuses.G3 == pass (experiment built + piloted). If not, stop.

STEP 2 — The G4 gate (all four, in order)

1. Justification — present the G3 pilot summary; confirm the design + pilot justify spending.
2. IRB — confirm the researcher attests Cornell IRB approval/exemption → bin/apsy-state.sh set irb_attested true.
3. Spend cap — set spend.cap_usd (> 0) in .apsy/state.json; confirm wage_per_hour ≥ the floor and base_payment (via apsy:prolific / apsy:lucid / apsy:mturk).
4. Human approval — get explicit human go-ahead (AskUserQuestion). Only then export APSY_DEPLOY_APPROVED=1 for this deploy action.

STEP 3 — Deploy

Choose the backend and run bin/apsy-deploy.sh <ssh|heroku|ec2>. Both the spend-gate hook and the script re-verify G4 (defense in depth). The action is recorded to .apsy/deployment-log.md.

STEP 4 — On success

bin/apsy-state.sh set gate_statuses.G4 pass. Hand off to apsy:recruit.

PROHIBITED: setting APSY_DEPLOY_APPROVED=1 without explicit human approval; deploying without an IRB attestation or a spend cap; auto-passing G4 in any autonomy mode. Validation gate: never proceed unless all four G4 conditions hold; otherwise block and list what's missing.
