About Hooks: When the last user using an Organization or Repository logs out of Ship, we do clean up the hooks. See more details at https://www.realartists.com/docs/2.0/uninstall.html

Without the explicit logout, Ship has no way of knowing you're done.

Just a side note,

It seems that if I manually remove them and then reinstall the app / reauthorize the app, the webhooks are not recreated.

We actually handle that as well. If we’ve not heard from a hook we think we’ve installed for a while, we’ll ping it.

After three failed pings (spread out over an hour or so), we’ll delete our record of the hook and attempt to recreate it the next time an administrator logs in.

Awesome. You guys are spot on

Wow... thanks. I feel silly now.
