### Features
+- **Adversarial eval loops** — First-class GAN-style alternating generator/discriminator optimization. Configure in `factory.md` with `## Adversarial` section using dot-notation for per-component eval commands, metrics, and thresholds. Hysteresis prevents oscillation (N consecutive above-threshold rounds before switching). Convergence detection when both sides sustain above-threshold performance. State persisted at `.factory/adversarial_state.json` for crash-resilient resume. New `factory adversarial-state` CLI command for inspection and reset. 80 new tests
- **Post-cycle refinement loop** — After build/improve cycles complete in foreground mode, the CEO stays active and routes follow-up requests through the Refiner → Builder → full review pipeline. New `--refine` flag for direct refinement entry. Three CLI commands (`refine-status`, `refine-begin`, `refine-complete`) provide identity regrounding and state tracking. No hard cap on refinements; advisory warnings at 5 and 10
- **Refiner agent** — New specialist that classifies refinement requests into tiers (T1: prompt/config, T2: code changes, T3: architectural — requires `--focus`) and scopes the implementation for the Builder
- **Inner/outer loop controls** — Configure multi-run aggregation, plateau detection, and automatic scope expansion for research mode via `## Inner Loop` and `## Outer Loop Surfaces` in `factory.md`

+## Versioning
+
+Version is derived from git tags via `hatch-vcs` at build time — no static `version =` in pyproject.toml.
+
+- Tag pattern: `v*` (e.g., `v0.3.1`); `nightly-*` tags are ignored via `--match 'v*'`
+- Dev installs show `X.Y.Z.devN+gSHA` between releases
+- `factory/_version.py` is generated by the hatch-vcs build hook and gitignored
+- After pulling new tags, re-run `uv sync` for editable installs to pick up the new version
+- `fallback_version = "0.0.0"` is used in environments without git history (Docker builds, tarballs)

### Layer 2: Workflow Graph Engine (`factory/workflow/`)
-All 8 factory modes (build, design, improve, research, meta, discover, review, refine) are defined as directed graphs of typed nodes in `factory/workflow/definitions.py`. Each graph is a `Workflow` Pydantic model with `AgentNode`, `FnNode`, `GateNode`, `ForkNode`, `JoinNode`, and `Study` primitives connected by `Edge` objects. See `factory/workflow/README.md` for full documentation.
+All 10 factory modes (build, design, improve, research, meta, discover, review, refine, founder, plan) are defined as directed graphs of typed nodes in `factory/workflow/definitions.py`. Each graph is a `Workflow` Pydantic model with `AgentNode`, `FnNode`, `GateNode`, `ForkNode`, `JoinNode`, and `Study` primitives connected by `Edge` objects. See `factory/workflow/README.md` for full documentation.
The same graph definition produces two execution formats:
- **Headless:** `WorkflowExecutor` (`factory/workflow/executor.py`) walks the DAG deterministically — `factory workflow run --project /path`
- **Interactive:** `skill_export.py` converts graphs to Claude Code `SKILL.md` files under `skills/workflow-*/` — the CEO agent reads these at runtime as mode-specific playbooks
+### Layer 2b: Outer Loop — Evolutionary Workflow Search (`factory/outer_loop/`)
+
+The outer loop evolves workflow *topologies* via MAP-Elites quality-diversity search. Given a base workflow (e.g. the single-builder FeatureBench seed), it produces a population of structurally diverse candidates, evaluates each via an inner loop (one full CEO cycle per candidate), and uses contrastive reflection to guide mutations toward higher fitness.
+
+**Pipeline:** `calibrate → evolve → reflect → evaluate` (repeats until budget exhaustion, plateau, or target score).
+
+**Key modules:**
+- `engine.py` — `SwarmEngine` orchestrates the evolutionary loop: seeding, tournament selection, mutation, evaluation, convergence detection (plateau, diversity collapse, early stop)
+- `evaluator.py` — `SwarmEvaluator` with `FitnessCache` (structural-hash dedup) and `CycleRecordCache` (content-hash dedup). Supports both `EvaluatorFn` protocol and `FeatureBenchInnerLoop` evaluation with git worktree isolation
+- `mutations.py` — 7 structured graph mutation operators (`NODE_INSERT`, `NODE_REMOVE`, `EDGE_REDIRECT`, `PARALLELIZE`, `SERIALIZE`, `PARAM_MUTATE`, `PROMPT_MUTATE`) with `WeightedRandomStrategy` and reflection-guided selection
+- `population.py` — `Population` (collection management) and `MAPElitesArchive` (4D grid: depth × fork_degree × agent_count × gate_count)
+- `similarity.py` — `structural_hash`, `graph_edit_distance`, `compute_features`, `NoveltyFilter`
+- `reflector.py` — `OuterLoopReflector` performs two-stage contrastive reflection (top-K vs bottom-K) to identify failure/success patterns and generate mutation suggestions
+- `mode_registry.py` — `EphemeralModeRegistry` registers candidate workflows as temporary modes (`evolve-gen{N}-{id[:8]}`) with content-hash integrity checking, target-dir mirroring, and promotion to permanent modes

-All domain models live in `factory/models.py` as strict Pydantic v2 models. Key types: `ProjectState` (enum), `FactoryConfig`, `EvalProfile` / `EvalDimension`, `CompositeScore` / `EvalResult`, `ExperimentRecord`, `CrossProjectInsights`, `AgentVerdict`, `Observation`, `PerformanceReport`, `ProjectEntry` / `ProjectRegistry`. The `Notifier` protocol defines the async notification interface. `FactoryConfig` includes `clean_pr` (bool), `clean_pr_include` (list[str]), and `clean_pr_exclude` (list[str]) for Clean PR Mode — stripping non-essential artifacts from PRs before pushing to external repos.

-The factory supports multiple CLI backends via the runner abstraction (`factory/runners/`). By default, it uses Claude Code (`claude` CLI). Bob Shell (`bob` CLI) and OpenAI Codex (`codex` CLI) are also supported as switchable alternatives.
+**Credential profiles:** Use `--profile ` with `factory ceo`, `factory run`, or `factory agent` to load a `[credentials.]` section. Profile keys **override** existing env vars (explicit `--profile` opt-in means the profile is authoritative). CLI flags still win via 5-tier precedence.
-**Runner selection:** Set `FACTORY_RUNNER=codex` (or `bob`) to switch backends, or pass `--runner codex` to individual commands. Default is `claude`.
+**Env overlay features:**
+- **Override:** Profile keys are set via `os.environ[k] = v`, not `setdefault` — the profile wins over shell env vars
+- **Unset:** Add a `[credentials..unset]` sub-table with `vars = ["VAR1", "VAR2"]` to remove env vars before injection. Unsets are processed before sets.
+- **Protected vars:** The following env vars cannot be set or unset via profiles — a `ValueError` is raised if attempted: `PATH`, `HOME`, `USER`, `SHELL`, `TMPDIR`, `TERM`, `PWD` (shell fundamentals); `LD_PRELOAD`, `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, `DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES` (code execution vectors); `PYTHONPATH`, `GOPATH`, `CLASSPATH`, `NODE_PATH` (language path injection); `IFS` (shell parsing); `FACTORY_TRACE_ID`, `FACTORY_PARENT_SPAN_ID` (factory observability internals).
+- **Unset vars validation:** The `[credentials..unset].vars` field must be a list — a `ValueError` is raised if it is a string or other non-list type.
+- **Override warnings:** When a profile overrides an existing env var with a different value, a `log.warning("profile_override", key=k, profile=profile)` is emitted (values are not logged to avoid leaking secrets).
-**Bob Shell specifics:**
-- Requires `BOBSHELL_API_KEY` environment variable to be set
-- Uses 'code' mode; agent role definitions are injected via the prompt
-- Model selection is not configurable (Bob Shell uses its default model)
+**Custom endpoint example** (e.g. a LiteLLM proxy):
-**Dry-run mode:** Set `FACTORY_BOB_DRY_RUN=1` to test Bob Shell integration without spending tokens. The factory returns stub responses and logs usage. This is automatically set in tests via `tests/conftest.py`.
-
-**Token guardrails:** Bob Shell has no token telemetry, so the factory self-enforces invocation ceilings:
-- `FACTORY_BOB_MAX_INVOCATIONS_PER_CYCLE` (default: 8)
-- All invocations are logged to `.factory/bob_usage.jsonl`
-- When ≤2 invocations remain before the ceiling, a warning is logged and emitted to `.factory/events.jsonl` (type: `bob.ceiling_warning`)
-- Ceiling violations emit events to `.factory/events.jsonl` and abort with an actionable error message
+You can use profiles to point the factory at a custom model endpoint:

-- Requires `CODEX_API_KEY` (or `OPENAI_API_KEY`) environment variable (or set via config.toml profile)
-- `CODEX_API_KEY` is auto-mapped to `OPENAI_API_KEY` in subprocess env if needed
-- Headless mode uses `codex exec` with `--sandbox workspace-write --ask-for-approval never`
-- Model selection via `--model` flag (e.g., `gpt-5.4`, `gpt-5.2-codex`)

Each issue is fetched independently and added as a separate backlog item. Issue refs are auto-detected and fetched via `gh`/`glab` CLI. Works in improve, research, and create modes; mutually exclusive with `--loop`. In create mode, `--focus` provides the mode description; use `--focus "mode_name: change description"` to update an existing registered mode instead of creating a new one. `--mode design` enters ideation mode.

Incompatible with `--headless` unless `--auto-approve` is used. `--auto-approve` lifts the headless restriction for design mode, forcing headless execution and auto-approving user gates (e.g. strategy review) — useful for CI/CD and automated pipelines. `--from-plan ` loads an existing plan into design mode, skipping the research phase. Accepts a local file path, GitHub issue URL, issue number, or fuzzy search string (searches GitHub issues with the `plan` label). Requires `--mode design`; mutually exclusive with `--focus` and `--prompt`. When fetching from a GitHub issue, includes both the issue body and all comments. `--mode research` enters research ideation for new projects (e.g. `factory ceo "SWE-bench solver" --mode research`) — the Strategist collects research config (target metric, mutable/fixed surfaces, constraints) before building.

Skips research, code review, adversarial QA, and eval scoring. Designed for fast hypothesis iteration: test an idea, see if it works, pivot. Terminal mode — does not chain to other modes. Not for production use; run `--mode improve` afterward to harden what works. Compatible with `--focus` and `--loop`. `--just-plan` (requires `--mode design`) enters planning-only mode — research + strategy + optional GitHub publishing with no implementation. Three parallel researchers investigate domain, practices, and constraints. The Strategist synthesizes a phased plan. Single user gate: keep the plan? Approval auto-publishes to GitHub as an issue with the `plan` label and seeds the backlog with plan phases. Terminal mode — does not chain to other modes. Compatible with `--focus`. Mutually exclusive with `--from-plan` and `--prompt`.
+
+## Contained runtimes
+
+`factory contained` runs any factory command somewhere other than the developer's shell. Everything after `--` is handed inward **verbatim** except for path rewriting — the runtime is a place to run the factory, not a mode of it, so the host never parses the payload's semantics and cannot break when the CLI grows.
+
+```bash
+factory contained -- ceo ~/code/rta # local container, watch it
+factory contained --division -- ceo ~/code/rta # ...and let the agent build images
+factory contained --target k8s --namespace ns -- run ~/code/rta --loop
+factory contained --target k8s --division -- ceo ~/code/rta
+factory contained ls | attach | rm | sync | setup | verify | bundle
+FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1 factory contained -- study ~/code/rta # compose, provision nothing
+```
+
+**The two targets share a command surface and an image, not a threat model.** Neither confines agent-authored code, and neither replaces review. Local is the *weaker* of the two: no egress control, and credentials live inside the container. K8s keeps a restricted SCC and namespace-scoped RBAC. None of this reaches user-facing output in these terms — `--help` says "not a security sandbox" and leaves it there, because a security comparison is not an orientation.
+
+Six things are load-bearing and fail quietly if broken:
+
+- **Provenance.** A run always starts from the files on this machine, uncommitted changes included — never `HEAD`, never a fresh clone. The workspace is a git worktree with the working tree rsynced over the top, because a HEAD checkout silently drops the gitignored `.factory/` the whole experiment history lives in. Five assertions then run between provisioning and the first agent call (`factory/contained/provenance.py`); a failure aborts naming the file and the likely cause, and leaves the runtime up for inspection.
+- **Identity.** A bind mount carries ownership through unchanged, so a container whose UID does not own the tree gets a *silently read-only* workspace. The rule differs between rootless, rootful and macOS, so `factory/contained/identity.py` **probes** rather than deciding: a throwaway container reports the mount's owner as the kernel inside sees it, and the run matches. The runtime image is built for arbitrary UIDs (group 0, `chmod g=u`), which is also what OpenShift's restricted SCC needs.
+- **PID 1.** The factory spawns agent subprocesses and is not a well-behaved init, so the container runs `--init` around `sleep infinity` and the run itself lives in tmux. The runtime persists after the run — a failed run is exactly when its state is worth reading.
+- **Credentials cross the boundary, by design.** There is no gateway. The policy is `FACTORY_` by default, plus exactly what `--forward` names, plus the backend variables the resolved shape requires (`factory/contained/credentials.py`) — nothing implicit. `verify` reports credential *shape*, never material, and secret-looking values are redacted anywhere a command is printed. On k8s the credentials come from a namespace Secret the user creates; the factory references it by name and never handles the material.
+- **Both divisions reach outward, and that is the point.** Builds cannot happen inside either boundary, so `--division` is opt-in and separately named. Locally it starts an **unauthenticated** `podman-mcp-server` on `0.0.0.0:8430` — every interface, because the tool has no bind flag and the container reaches the host through a gateway address rather than loopback — detached into its own process group, because the run outlives the launch, and stopped by `factory contained rm`. On the cluster it goes through OpenShift `Build` objects behind a sidecar container that is the only holder of `oc` and the ServiceAccount token; that separation is a boundary only while the Role excludes `pods/exec`, which `verify` asserts via a **SubjectAccessReview API object** — `oc auth can-i --as` collapses `pods/exec` onto `pods` and answers "yes" where RBAC says no. The sidecar runs a **different image** (`FACTORY_CONTAINED_SIDECAR_IMAGE`, an `oc` image) from the agent's; one image for both silently collapses the boundary.
+- **Interactive prompts stall an unattended run.** A fresh `~/.claude` makes Claude Code ask about folder trust, project MCP servers, and Bypass Permissions mode — all interactive-only, so headless agents never hit them and the interactive CEO does, and the run then sits at a menu nobody is watching. `factory/contained/claude_state.py` pre-records those answers, which the invocation already implies.
+- **All podman knowledge lives in `factory/podman.py` and all cluster knowledge in `factory/contained/k8s.py`.** Both **compose** commands and do not execute them, which is what makes `FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1` print the same argv the real path runs rather than a separate rendering that drifts.
+
+The runtime image (`containers/factory/Containerfile`) is UBI9 + the factory wheel + the agent CLIs + tmux, published multi-arch by CI (`.github/workflows/runtime-image.yml`) — amd64 for cluster nodes, arm64 for a Mac laptop. It publishes on pushes to `main` (`:latest`), on **published releases** (`:`, plus `:latest` unless the release is a prerelease — nightlies are, so they never move `:latest`), and on dispatch. The release trigger is load-bearing: `factory contained setup` pulls and does not build, so a release whose image was never built breaks every new user's first command. Release and dispatch tag names reach the shell through `env:` and are validated against the legal image-tag character set before use.
+
+`setup` is a numbered wizard rather than a column of output (`factory/contained/style.py`): step rules, `[ ok ]`/`[FAIL]` marks, and — the part that caused real confusion — every resolved value printed quoted and coloured, because "in namespace default" gives the reader no way to tell the name from the sentence. Colour obeys `NO_COLOR` > `FORCE_COLOR` > TTY detection, so the same strings stay plain in pipes, logs and CI. The cluster half **asks** which namespace to prepare when `--namespace` was not given (the current context supplies the default, not the answer) and names the **cluster** alongside it — a namespace alone identifies nothing, since `default` exists on every cluster. Only names are read from the kubeconfig, never the `users` section.
+
+**Which cluster is chosen, not assumed.** `setup` lists the kubeconfig's contexts and lets one be picked (`--context NAME` skips the question). The choice is applied as `--context` on *every* cluster command via `k8s.cli()` — a process-global `_ACTIVE_CONTEXT` set once at entry, because threading it through forty call sites means forty chances to forget, and `cli()` is a single auditable application point. It never rewrites the kubeconfig; switching the default is offered separately at the end, with the `oc config use-context` command printed either way.
+
+The chosen namespace is checked for existence (`_namespace_status`) even when passed via `--namespace`, and creation is offered — `oc new-project`, not `create namespace`, because a regular user is usually denied the second. On OpenShift a Forbidden on `get namespace` says nothing about existence, so it falls back to `get project` and reports `unreadable` rather than `absent`.
+
+The cluster review is object-by-object, not a wall of YAML (`factory/contained/k8s_review.py`). The bundle exists as a list (`bundle_objects()`) before it exists as a blob; `render_bundle` joins that list, and `verify`'s per-object checks are derived from it, so the three can never describe different object sets. Each object is compared against the namespace with `oc diff` (server-side, so cluster-defaulted fields do not read as user changes), producing `current` / `absent` / `differs` / `unknown`. Only the ones needing a decision are walked, each showing its purpose plus its diff (for `differs`) or its manifest (for `absent`). `current` is never prompted about — a prompt whose only sane answer is yes teaches people to stop reading prompts — and `unknown` is never silently skipped.
+
+**Each object is applied at the moment it is accepted, never batched.** Batching made `q` report "nothing was applied" to a user who had already said yes, which is false; `WalkResult` records what actually happened and the abort message says how much survives. A failed apply names itself and does not stop the walk. There is no second blanket confirm after the walk.
+
+Prompt options are spelled out (`[y]es [n]o [a]ll remaining [q]uit`), not `[y/n/a/q]`. `style.read_key` and `style.read_line` put the terminal in cbreak mode, which is the only way **Escape** can cancel — a line-buffered `input()` only ever sees the `^[` characters it inserts. `read_line` is a small line editor (echo, Backspace, arrow-key drain) because cbreak turns off the line discipline that normally provides them. Both return `None` when raw reading is impossible (pipe, non-POSIX) and callers fall back to `input()` plus `style.is_escape()`; `input()` raises **OSError** under pytest capture, not `EOFError`, so both are caught. Ctrl-C is caught in `cmd_contained` and exits 130 with a message — backing out of a wizard is ordinary, not a crash.
+
+**`verify_k8s` streams.** It takes an `on_check` callback and reports each result the moment it is known; `prereq.format_check` / `summary_line` are split out of `render_checks` so a caller can print per-result and add the verdict at the end. Without this the Verify step printed nothing for minutes — several checks are a cluster round trip, and the in-cluster inference probe creates a pod and waits up to 180s — and it was reported as a hang. Every result goes through the local `record()` helper, including the early `cli_binary()` failure, because a streaming caller prints only the summary afterwards and a check that skips the callback is never seen. The inference probe is **skipped when the credentials Secret is missing**: the probe pod mounts it, so it could only burn its full timeout rediscovering what the Secret check just reported — which is the state every freshly prepared namespace is in.
+
+**Tests must never reach a raw prompt.** `tests/conftest.py` has an autouse fixture forcing `style._raw_session` to `None`; without it a prompt blocks forever on a keypress, ignoring `builtins.input` patches, because the raw path does not call `input()`. `tests/test_contained_k8s.py` additionally stubs `list_contexts`/`cluster_context`/`current_namespace` — they shell out to real `oc`, which cost that file seven minutes before being stubbed. tmux is compiled in a builder stage because neither the UBI repositories nor EPEL ship it (EPEL never duplicates a package RHEL carries, and UBI's subset omits it).
+
+Two cluster-side details that fail quietly: a PVC mounts root-owned, so the pod needs an `fsGroup` read from the namespace's allocated range (hardcoding one fails admission under a `MustRunAs` SCC); and the workspace unpack marker is **per-run**, because the PVC outlives the run that filled it and a shared marker makes the next run skip its own upload and execute against stale files.

+### Design — brainstorm before building
-## Design Workflow
+Design mode is the primary way to use re:factory. It researches the space, drafts a structured plan via the Strategist, and lets you iterate on it before any code is written.
-Use design mode when you want to brainstorm before building. Start a conversation with the CEO to refine an idea, then build:
+**From a raw idea** — describe what you want and refine it into a buildable spec:
```bash
-# From a raw idea — discuss and refine into a buildable spec
-uv run factory ceo "distributed task runner" --mode design
+factory ceo "distributed eval runner" --mode design
+factory ceo "Build a REST API for bookmark management" --mode design
+```
+
+**From a spec file** — for longer, more detailed descriptions, write your idea to a `.md` file and pass the path:
+
+> **Tip:** For detailed ideas with multiple paragraphs, requirements, or research notes, use a spec file instead of a quoted string. There's no length limit on file content.
-# From a spec file — read and discuss before building
-uv run factory ceo ~/ideas/my-app-spec.md --mode design
+```bash
+factory ceo ~/ideas/weather-dashboard.md --mode design
+factory ceo ~/ideas/my-app-spec.md --mode design
```
-Design mode also works on existing projects. The CEO studies the backlog, eval scores, open issues, and experiment history, then discusses what to work on before executing:
+**On an existing project** — study the backlog, eval scores, open issues, and experiment history, then discuss what to work on before executing:
```bash
-uv run factory ceo ~/factory-projects/my-app --mode design
+factory ceo ~/factory-projects/my-app --mode design
+```
-# Seed the conversation with a topic
-uv run factory ceo ~/factory-projects/my-app --mode design --focus "auth layer"
+**Seed the conversation with a topic** — use `--focus` to start the discussion around a specific area:
+
+```bash
+factory ceo ~/factory-projects/my-app --mode design --focus "auth layer"
+factory ceo ~/my-app --mode design --focus 42 # GitHub issue
+factory ceo ~/my-app --mode design --focus "owner/repo#42" # Issue shorthand
```
-You can also pass a spec file or URL directly — `uv run factory ceo spec.md` — and re:factory builds without the design conversation.
+Design mode subsumes Build and Improve — it researches, plans, gets your approval, then builds and iterates.
---
-## Improve Workflow
+## Create Your Own Factory Mode
+
+Create mode lets you build new factory modes — new workflows, new pipelines, new factories.
-Improve mode is re:factory's continuous improvement loop for existing projects. Point it at a codebase and it autonomously observes the project state, generates hypotheses for improvements, builds and tests changes, and keeps or reverts each experiment based on eval scores.
+### Create a New Mode
+
+Pass a description via `--focus` to tell the CEO what mode to create. It's fully interactive — the CEO researches existing patterns, synthesizes a workflow spec, gets your approval, then implements everything: workflow definition, SKILL.md, CLI wiring, and tests.
```bash
-uv run factory ceo ~/factory-projects/my-app --mode improve
+factory ceo /path/to/factory --mode create --focus "a mode that validates PRs with multi-stage checks"
```
-Each cycle: **observe** → **hypothesize** → **build** → **review** → **measure** → **decide** (keep or revert) → **archive**. The Strategist picks work from the backlog using FEEC priority (Fix > Exploit > Explore > Combine).
+### Update an Existing Mode
-When you know exactly what you want, `--focus` pins a single target — one hypothesis, one experiment, done:
+Prefix `--focus` with the mode name and a colon. The name before the colon is matched against registered workflows — if it matches, the CEO enters update mode instead of creating a new one:
```bash
-uv run factory ceo ~/my-app --mode improve --focus "add dark mode toggle"
-uv run factory ceo ~/my-app --mode improve --focus 42 # GitHub issue
-uv run factory ceo ~/my-app --mode improve --focus "owner/repo#42" # Issue shorthand
+factory ceo /path/to/factory --mode create --focus "improve: add plateau detection after 3 consecutive reverts"
+factory ceo /path/to/factory --mode create --focus "build: add a code review gate after the builder"
```
----
+Without a colon, `--focus` always creates a new mode.
-## Post-Cycle Refinement
+### How Modes Work
-After a build or improve cycle finishes in foreground mode, the CEO stays active — it doesn't exit. Ask for changes directly:
+Every mode has three representations:
-> "Fix the typo in the header"
-> "Add error handling to the upload endpoint"
-> "Make the tests more thorough"
+1. **Workflow definition** — a Pydantic graph in `factory/workflow/definitions.py` with typed nodes (`AgentNode`, `FnNode`, `GateNode`, `ForkNode`, `JoinNode`) and edges
+2. **SKILL.md** — a prose playbook auto-generated from the graph via `factory workflow export-skills`, read by the CEO at runtime
+3. **CLI entry point** — registered in `factory/cli/_main.py` and dispatched via mode routing
-Each request runs through the full experiment pipeline: the **Refiner** scopes it → **Builder** implements → review + eval + E2E gate → keep/revert verdict. No shortcuts — every refinement is a tracked experiment with its own PR.
+### Manual Workflow Editing
-You can also invoke refinements directly with `--refine`:
+1. Modify the graph definition in `factory/workflow/definitions.py`
+2. Re-export skills: `factory workflow export-skills`
+3. Test: `pytest tests/test_workflow.py -v`
-```bash
-uv run factory ceo ~/my-app --refine "add rate limiting to the API"
-```
+The pipeline: **3 parallel researchers** (existing patterns, intent analysis, best practices) → **Strategist** synthesizes a workflow spec → **you approve** (like design mode) → **Builder** implements → **QA** verifies end-to-end → **PR**.
-There's no cap on refinements. Advisory warnings appear at 5 and 10 to flag context growth, but the user decides when to stop.
+Point it at the factory repo itself to extend re:factory with custom pipelines.
---
-## Create New Modes
+## Focus
-Create mode lets you build new factory modes — new workflows, new pipelines, new factories — from a description. Describe what the mode should do, and re:factory researches existing patterns, synthesizes a workflow spec, gets your approval, then implements everything: workflow definition, SKILL.md, CLI wiring, and tests.
+Focus mode builds exactly one thing and exits. Target a backlog item, a GitHub issue, or multiple issues at once.
```bash
-# From a description
-uv run factory ceo /path/to/factory --mode create "a mode that audits security vulnerabilities"
-
-# From a spec file
-uv run factory ceo /path/to/factory --mode create ~/specs/audit-mode.md
+factory ceo ~/my-project --focus "add WebSocket support" # Backlog item
+factory ceo ~/my-project --focus 42 # GitHub issue #42
+factory ceo ~/my-project --focus "owner/repo#42" # Issue shorthand
+factory ceo ~/my-project --focus '42 and 43' # Multiple issues
+factory ceo ~/my-project --focus 'issue 42, issue 43' # With 'issue' keyword
+factory ceo ~/my-project --mode design --focus "auth layer" # Design mode with focus
```
-The pipeline: **3 parallel researchers** (existing patterns, intent analysis, best practices) → **Strategist** synthesizes a workflow spec → **you approve** (like design mode) → **Builder** implements → **QA** verifies end-to-end → **PR**.
+---
-Create mode is interactive — it requires your approval at the strategy gate before building. Point it at the factory repo itself to extend re:factory with custom pipelines.
+## Available Workflows
----
+Beyond the core Design and Create modes, re:factory ships with a growing set of workflows — both built-in and community-contributed. Each is a complete graph definition with its own agent topology, gates, and iteration strategy.
-## Eval System
+### Built-in Workflows
-Every change is measured by an 11-dimension composite score across three tiers: **Hygiene** (tests, lint, types, coverage), **Growth** (API surface, experiment diversity, observability), and **Project** (user-defined domain metrics). On first run, `uv run factory discover` auto-detects your project's language and framework to generate the eval profile. See [Eval System](docs/eval.md) for scoring details, weights, and guards.
+| Workflow | What it does |
+|----------|-------------|
+| **frontend-design** | Feature-to-UI pipeline — forks 5 design researchers in parallel, joins findings, then runs design audit → spec → build → render → deep QA |
+| **parallel-improve** | Forks N hypotheses into isolated git worktrees, runs experiments concurrently, and selects the best result |
+| **deep-research** | Decomposes a topic into research directions, executes each with internal iteration, and checks coverage |
+| **deep-qa** | Multi-stage quality assurance — health check, code review, and adversarial testing in parallel |
+| **study** | Graph-powered codebase analysis — builds a dependency graph, explores it, and produces a combined study report |

```
-Configure profiles in `~/.factory/config.toml`:
+**Layer 1 — Python CLI** (`factory/cli/`): Pure tools that don't make decisions. Entry point is `factory.cli:main`, each subcommand a `cmd_*` function dispatched via a handler dict.
+
+**Layer 2 — Workflow Graph Engine** (`factory/workflow/`): All factory modes are defined as directed graphs of typed nodes in `factory/workflow/definitions.py`. Each graph is a `Workflow` Pydantic model with `AgentNode`, `FnNode`, `GateNode`, `ForkNode`, `JoinNode`, and `Study` primitives. The same graph produces two execution formats: **headless** (`WorkflowExecutor` walks the DAG deterministically) and **interactive** (exported as SKILL.md prose playbooks the CEO follows at runtime).
+
+**Layer 3 — CEO Agent** (`factory/agents/prompts/ceo.md` + `skills/workflow-*/SKILL.md`): The executive orchestrator. Detects project state, reads the appropriate SKILL.md playbook, and directs specialists through the experiment lifecycle — hypothesis, build, evaluate, keep/revert.
+
+**Layer 4 — Specialist Agents** (`factory/agents/`): Eight Claude Code subprocesses spawned by the CEO via `factory agent `. Researcher (observe), Strategist (hypothesize), Builder (implement), Health Checker + Code Reviewer + Adversarial Tester (verify), Archivist (record), Failure Analyst (research mode).

+## Verified Skill Generation
+
+Workflow graphs (Pydantic definitions) are converted to SKILL.md prose files that the CEO follows at runtime. This conversion goes through a verified pipeline to prevent information loss:

+```
+Workflow (Pydantic) → templatize → review agent → guard → split
+ │ │ │ │
+ {{slot::default}} opus structural SKILL.md +
+ + annotations refines diff check annotations.yaml
+```
+
+The pipeline produces two artifacts per workflow:
+- **SKILL.md** — clean prose the CEO reads at runtime
+- **SKILL.annotations.yaml** — structured metadata per node for programmatic verification
+
+Regenerate all skills after changing workflow definitions:

-
-Purpose: Define a meta-harness that orchestrates coding agents through bounded,
-measurable, reversible SDLC cycles.
+Status: Draft | Auto-generated by re:factory
## Normative Language
@@ -13,578 +10,607 @@ described in RFC 2119.
`Implementation-defined` means the behavior is part of the implementation
contract, but this specification does not prescribe one universal policy.
-Implementations MUST document the selected behavior.
## 1. Problem Statement
-re:factory is a meta-harness for agentic software evolution. It accepts software
-work, binds that work to a project context, dispatches coding agents under an
-execution contract, validates the result through guardrails, records evidence,
-and converts the outcome into an explicit decision and durable memory.
-
-The system solves five operational problems:
-
-- It turns agentic coding into a repeatable SDLC lifecycle instead of ad hoc
- prompts or scripts.
-- It separates project scope from repository checkouts, runtime execution, and
- product packaging.
-- It makes each change measurable and reversible through evidence, guardrails,
- and explicit decisions.
-- It keeps project state durable enough to support resume, review, and
- learning.
-- It is designed so future implementations can preserve the same lifecycle
- semantics without changing the meaning of a project cycle.
-
-Important boundary:
-
-- re:factory is a meta-harness, not a general-purpose workflow engine.
-- A deployment profile is a bundle of component implementations, not a separate
- implementation of the domain model.
-- Agent execution MAY end at a handoff state; a successful run does not
- necessarily mean code was merged or released.
-- Trust, approval, sandboxing, and external write policies are
- implementation-defined and MUST be documented by the implementation.
+re:factory is a harness that runs autonomous coding-agent subprocesses through a repeatable experiment lifecycle — hypothesize, implement, evaluate, keep-or-revert, archive — so that improving software with LLM agents becomes a measured, auditable process instead of an unstructured chat session.
+
+It solves several concrete operational problems. It replays a fixed detect → route → delegate → verify → decide → archive cycle instead of letting an agent decide its own scope and stopping criteria, so runs converge on completion rather than trailing off at a self-judged "good stopping point." It scores every change against a weighted composite of hygiene, growth, and project-specific dimensions instead of trusting an agent's self-report that a change "looks good," so keep/revert decisions are grounded in eval deltas rather than vibes. It enforces Sacred Rules (immutable eval directories, scope guards, mandatory QA, no PR merges) via subprocess-level guard checks instead of relying on prompt instructions alone, so a misbehaving or compromised agent cannot silently widen its own blast radius. It persists institutional memory (`.factory/archive/`, ACE playbooks, cross-project insights) between runs instead of starting every session from a blank context, so agents accumulate DO/DON'T rules from real outcomes rather than repeating the same mistakes. It exposes a portable workflow-graph format (nodes, edges, gates, forks/joins) that renders to both a deterministic headless executor and a Claude Code `SKILL.md` playbook, instead of hand-maintaining two divergent descriptions of the same pipeline. It provides pluggable CLI backends (Claude Code, Bob Shell, Codex, OpenCode) and pluggable execution runtimes (bare host, podman container, OpenShift cluster) behind one command surface, instead of hard-wiring the orchestrator to a single vendor or a single machine.
+
+**Important boundary:** re:factory is not itself a coding model, a sandbox, or a CI system. It does not execute untrusted agent-authored code inside a security boundary it can vouch for — the contained runtimes explicitly document that neither the local podman target nor the Kubernetes target confines agent-authored code, and both require the same human PR review that any agent-produced diff would need. It does not replace human code review; every kept experiment produces an open PR for a human to merge. It does not train or fine-tune models — "self-improvement" means evolving markdown playbooks and workflow-graph topologies that steer off-the-shelf agent CLIs, not gradient updates.
## 2. Goals and Non-Goals
### 2.1 Goals
-- Represent software work as normalized work items.
-- Bind work items to a durable project context.
-- Support projects that bind the repository or execution context needed for
- work.
-- Dispatch agents through explicit execution contracts.
-- Preserve evidence for diffs, logs, evals, reviews, reports, and artifacts.
-- Validate outcomes through guardrails before a decision is accepted.
-- Record decisions as first-class lifecycle outputs.
-- Maintain durable memory for project learning and future planning.
-- Preserve durable state for resume, review, and learning, with optional
- reconciliation to external systems where supported.
-- Treat the CLI-local profile as the primary compatibility surface.
-- Allow future deployment profiles to bundle different runtimes, state
- backends, guardrails, and output surfaces while preserving common lifecycle
- semantics.
+- Detect a target project's factory-management state (`no_repo`, `incomplete`, `no_factory`, `evals_pending_review`, `has_factory`) from git and `.factory/` filesystem evidence alone, without relying on agent memory.
+- Parse a project's `factory.md` into a strict, versionable `FactoryConfig` (goal, scope, guards, eval command/threshold, constraints, budgets, and optional research/adversarial/parallel sub-configs).
+- Dispatch specialist agent subprocesses (Researcher, Strategist, Builder, Health Checker, Code Reviewer, Adversarial Tester, Archivist, Refiner, Failure Analyst, CEO) through a single `factory agent ` contract that resolves prompts, injects evolved playbooks, captures output, and emits lifecycle events.
+- Compute a weighted composite eval score across hygiene (6 dimensions), growth (5+ dimensions), and optional project-defined dimensions, and gate keep/revert decisions on that score plus non-overridable guard/precheck results.
+- Represent every factory mode as a typed, validated directed graph (`Workflow`) of `AgentNode`/`FnNode`/`GateNode`/`ForkNode`/`JoinNode` primitives that a headless `WorkflowExecutor` can run deterministically.
+- Render the same `Workflow` graph into a Claude Code `SKILL.md` playbook via a verified templatize → review → guard → split pipeline, so interactive and headless execution never diverge.
+- Persist per-project experiment history (`results.tsv`, `experiments/NNN/`), long-term institutional memory (`.factory/archive/`), and cross-project statistics (`~/.factory/registry.json`) so future cycles and other projects can learn from past outcomes.
+- Evolve per-role behavioral playbooks (`~/.factory/playbooks/.md`) from real keep/revert outcomes via a deterministic Reflect → Curate → Inject (ACE) pipeline, with no LLM required for the reflection step.
+- Support at least four interchangeable agent-CLI runners (Claude Code, Bob Shell, Codex, OpenCode) behind one `Runner` protocol, each independently authenticatable and dry-runnable.
+- Execute the same CLI command surface unmodified on the host, inside a local podman container, or inside an OpenShift/Kubernetes namespace via `factory contained`, without the CLI parsing or altering the wrapped command's semantics.
+- Evolve workflow *topologies* (not just prompts) via MAP-Elites quality-diversity search in the outer loop, evaluating each candidate graph against a real benchmark inner loop.
### 2.2 Non-Goals
-- Prescribing a specific source-code layout or module structure.
-- Requiring a managed service or hosted control plane.
-- Requiring Jira, Linear, GitHub, GitLab, or any specific tracker.
-- Requiring a rich web UI or dashboard.
-- Mandating one sandbox, approval, or operator-confirmation policy.
-- Mandating that agents perform ticket writes, PR creation, or merge actions.
-- Requiring multi-repository orchestration or multi-user shared-state
- collaboration as part of core conformance.
-- Replacing human review, CI policy, or repository governance.

-## 3. System Overview
-
-### 3.1 Main Components
-
-1. `Deployment Profile`
- - Names a product surface and selected component implementations.
- - Declares runtime, state handling, guardrails, output surfaces, and policy
- sources.
- - Does not redefine the core domain model.
-2. `Project Resolver`
- - Converts user input or configuration into a project context.
- - Binds the repository, checkout, and state locations required by the
- selected implementation.
- - Resolves or generates the project specification document (see Section
- 4.11).
-3. `Work Item Source`
- - Reads work from prompts, backlog entries, issues, tickets, or research
- targets.
- - Normalizes external payloads into stable work-item records.
-4. `Contract Builder`
- - Converts project policy and work-item scope into an execution contract.
- - Identifies mutable surfaces, fixed surfaces, required checks, budgets, and
- expected evidence.
-5. `Lifecycle Coordinator`
- - Owns the lifecycle transition from intake through learning.
- - Decides when to dispatch, validate, retry, park, or escalate work.
- - Converts worker and guardrail outcomes into decision records.
-6. `Worker Runtime`
- - Runs a coding agent or worker against an execution contract.
- - Returns output, status, logs, and implementation-defined telemetry.
-7. `Guardrail Provider`
- - Evaluates tests, lint, type checks, eval metrics, CI state, review policy,
- scope rules, leakage rules, security policy, or other checks.
-8. `State Backend`
- - Persists project records, evidence references, decisions, and memory.
- - MAY mirror or reconcile state with external systems when supported.
-9. `Memory System`
- - Preserves durable learnings, observations, playbook evidence, reports, and
- handoff records.
-10. `Output Surface`
- - Publishes or materializes implementation-defined lifecycle outputs such as
- reviews, reports, generated assets, or external updates.
-
-### 3.2 Abstraction Levels
-
-re:factory is easiest to port when kept in these layers:
-
-1. `Policy Layer`
- - Project goal, scope, constraints, prompts, and validation policy.
-2. `Profile Layer`
- - User-facing surfaces and component bundles.
-3. `Coordination Layer`
- - Lifecycle transitions, dispatch, validation ordering, decisions, retry, and
- resume.
-4. `Execution Layer`
- - Worker runtime, repository checkout/worktree behavior, and agent protocol.
-5. `State Layer`
- - Project records, event streams, materialized views, and external bindings
- when present.
-6. `Guardrail and Evidence Layer`
- - Checks, artifacts, logs, scores, reviews, and reports.
-7. `Memory and Observability Layer`
- - Human/operator-visible status, archives, summaries, and learned rules.
-
-### 3.3 External Dependencies
-
-Implementations MAY depend on:
-
-- Local filesystem state.
-- Git repositories and worktrees.
-- Coding-agent executables or managed agent services.
-- Issue trackers, ticket systems, or PR systems.
-- CI, review, or security-scanning systems.
-- Host authentication for agent runtimes and external state backends.
-
-## 4. Core Domain Model
-
-### 4.1 Project
-
-A `Project` is the durable SDLC boundary for work, evidence, decisions, and
-memory.
-
-Logical fields:
-
-- `project_id`: stable project identifier.
-- `name`: human-readable project name.
-- `goal`: project objective or mission statement.
-- `repo_bindings`: repository or checkout bindings associated with the project.
-- `state_bindings`: durable or external state substrates associated with the
- project.
-- `policy_refs`: references to project policy/configuration.
-- `memory_refs`: references to durable project memory.
-
-Rules:
-
-- A project MUST bind the execution context needed for the work.
-- Implementations MAY realize that execution context as one repository binding
- or multiple repository bindings.
-- A single local repository binding with local durable state is sufficient for
- core conformance.
-- Work items, decisions, and memory belong to the project.
-- Diffs, branches, and checkouts belong to repository bindings.
-- Runtime and deployment profile are not project-owned.
-
-### 4.2 Repo Binding
-
-A `RepoBinding` identifies a repository or worktree participating in a project.
-
-Logical fields:
-
-- `repo_id`: stable identifier within the project.
-- `path`: local path, if available.
-- `remote`: remote repository identifier or URL, if available.
-- `role`: implementation-defined role such as `primary`.
-- `default_branch`: default integration branch, if known.
-- `checkout`: checkout or worktree metadata, if applicable.
-
-### 4.3 State Binding
-
-A `StateBinding` identifies a state substrate associated with a project.
-
-Examples:
-
-- local project state
-- GitHub issue or PR state
-- GitLab issue or merge-request state
-- Jira ticket state
-- Linear issue state
-- managed service state
-
-State bindings MUST NOT imply that runtime execution happens in that state
-system.
+- Sandboxing agent-authored code execution. (`factory contained` documents explicitly that neither local podman nor the OpenShift target confines agent-authored code — both require human PR review, the same as any other agent output.)
+- Automatically merging pull requests. (Sacred Rule 6 forbids it; every kept experiment's PR stays open for human merge.)
+- Training, fine-tuning, or hosting language models. (Self-improvement operates on markdown playbooks and workflow-graph JSON, consumed by off-the-shelf agent CLIs — never on model weights.)
+- Acting as a general-purpose CI/CD system. (It orchestrates experiment cycles on a schedule or on demand via `--loop`; it does not replace a project's own CI pipeline, and guard checks assume CI-independent local git state.)
+- Providing a universal, provider-agnostic credential vault. (Credential handling is `FACTORY_`-prefixed env vars plus `~/.factory/config.toml` profiles with an explicit forward-list — there is no secret-manager integration or automatic rotation.)
+- Guaranteeing agent output quality on every invocation. (The CEO Review Gate, redirect/abort protocol, and consecutive-failure abort exist precisely because agent output is treated as fallible and reviewed, not trusted by default.)
-A single local durable state substrate is sufficient for core conformance.
+### 2.3 Design Philosophy
-### 4.4 Work Item
+Every irreversible or trust-sensitive decision is pushed to a checkable artifact — a guard command's exit code, an eval score delta, a `must_contain` string in a review file — rather than to an LLM's self-assessment, because self-assessment is exactly the failure mode the system exists to catch. The same graph definition MUST produce both the deterministic executor's path and the interactive CEO's playbook, so there is one source of truth for "what a mode does" rather than two documents that drift. State that matters (experiment verdicts, playbooks, registry, adversarial phase) is always a plain file under `.factory/` or `~/.factory/`, because a crash-resilient, resumable orchestrator cannot depend on in-memory state surviving a subprocess boundary.
-A `WorkItem` is a unit of work entering the lifecycle.

+- `pytest` / `ruff` / `mypy` (or the target project's own tooling) — hygiene eval dimensions, auto-detected per project by `factory discover` (OPTIONAL, project-dependent)
+- `tmux` — detached long-running sessions (`factory tmux`) and the contained runtime's PID-1-safe process host (OPTIONAL/REQUIRED inside runtime images)
-An `ExecutionContract` defines the scope and policy for one execution attempt or
-cycle.
+## 5. Architecture Overview
-Logical fields:
+### 5.1 Abstraction Levels
-- `contract_id`
-- `project_id`
-- `work_item_id`
-- `scope`
-- `mutable_surfaces`
-- `fixed_surfaces`
-- `required_checks`
-- `budget`
-- `expected_evidence`
-- `report_schema` (OPTIONAL)
+1. **Python CLI (`factory/`)** — Deterministic tools that make no judgment calls: state detection, config parsing, eval scoring, guard checks, the experiment store, the global registry, event logging. Dispatched from `factory/cli/_main.py:main` through a `cmd_*` handler dictionary keyed by subcommand.
+2. **Workflow Graph Engine (`factory/workflow/`)** — All active factory modes (`design`, `create`, `spec-generate`, plus contributed benchmark workflows) are directed graphs of typed nodes (`AgentNode`, `FnNode`, `GateNode`, `ForkNode`, `JoinNode`, `Study`, `LLMNode`) connected by conditioned `Edge` objects. One graph definition renders to two execution surfaces: a deterministic `WorkflowExecutor` (headless) and a generated `SKILL.md` (interactive).
+3. **Outer Loop (`factory/outer_loop/`)** — A MAP-Elites evolutionary search over workflow *topologies* themselves, running a full CEO cycle (the "inner loop") per candidate to score it, then mutating the graph structure toward higher fitness.
+4. **CEO Agent (`factory/agents/prompts/ceo.md` + `skills/workflow-*/SKILL.md`)** — The orchestrator persona. Cross-cutting rules (Sacred Rules, FEEC, keep/revert framework, review gates) live in `ceo.md`; mode-specific step sequences live in the generated `SKILL.md` files that `ceo.md` reads at runtime.
+5. **Specialist Agents (`factory/agents/`)** — Independent Claude Code (or Bob/Codex/OpenCode) subprocesses, one per role, each with a two-tier prompt resolution (project override → user-global → factory default) and an auto-injected evolved playbook.
-Worker runtimes MUST receive enough contract information to respect scope,
-surface, and reporting requirements. This information MAY be conveyed through
-structured payloads, prompt content, or other implementation-defined
-mechanisms.
+### 5.2 Data Flow Summary
-### 4.6 Worker Runtime
+A run begins with `factory ceo `, which resolves the CEO prompt (`resolve_prompt`, injecting any ACE playbook and the relevant `SKILL.md`) and spawns it as a subprocess. The CEO first calls `factory detect` to classify project state, then — following the `design` workflow's routing — either runs `factory discover` (new/unconfigured projects) or reads the existing `.factory/config.json`. It then triggers the study subgraph (`factory graph update` → `factory study` → graph-exploring Researcher → concatenated `study-combined.md`), fans out three parallel Researcher agents behind a fork/join, and passes their output through a CEO gate to the Strategist, which writes a phased plan to `.factory/strategy/current.md`. A hard gate (agent-evaluated in `build`, user-evaluated in `design`) MUST approve the plan before the Builder runs. The Builder implements one phase on an experiment branch and opens a PR; a CEO gate reviews the diff; a deep-QA fork (Health Checker + Code Reviewer + Adversarial Tester) runs in parallel and joins into a QA gate with a bounded reloop-to-builder budget; a doc-freshness gate and a non-overridable precheck gate follow. Every step's inputs and outputs are plain files under `.factory/reviews/` and `.factory/strategy/`, so state survives CEO respawns and is inspectable outside the LLM session. `factory begin`/`factory finalize` bracket each experiment, writing `verdict.json` and appending a row to `results.tsv`; the Archivist runs asynchronously after each verdict and synchronously at cycle end, updating `.factory/archive/` and `.factory/performance_report.json` for the next ACE reflection pass.
-A `WorkerRuntime` executes agent work under an execution contract.
+## 6. Domain Model
-Examples:
+All models are Pydantic v2 with `ConfigDict(strict=True, extra="forbid")` — unrecognized or type-mismatched fields MUST raise a `ValidationError` rather than silently coerce or drop data. [[graph:factory.models]]
-- local subprocess agent
-- interactive terminal or tmux-backed agent
-- background session agent (fire-and-poll, observable via agent management interface)
-- plugin asset worker
-- managed remote agent
+### 6.1 ProjectState
-Runtime selection is implementation-defined. Runtime behavior MUST NOT change the
-meaning of project, work-item, evidence, or decision records.
+A `str` enum with exactly five members: `NO_REPO`, `REPO_INCOMPLETE` (value `"incomplete"`), `NO_FACTORY`, `EVALS_PENDING_REVIEW`, `HAS_FACTORY`. `detect_state()` MUST return exactly one of these for any filesystem path, and MUST check `EVALS_PENDING_REVIEW` before `HAS_FACTORY` so that a project mid-way through the discover → review → init flow (eval profile written, config not yet initialized) is not misclassified as fully configured.
-### 4.7 Guardrail
+### 6.2 FactoryConfig
-A `Guardrail` is a validation or policy check whose result contributes to a
-decision.
+The machine-readable form of a project's `factory.md`, persisted at `.factory/config.json`. Required fields: `goal: str`, `scope: list[str]`, `guards: list[str]`, `eval_command: str`, `eval_threshold: float`, `constraints: list[str]`. Fields with defaults: `hypothesis_budget: HypothesisBudget` (`min_growth=2`, `max_new=2`), `target_branch: str = "main"`, `smoke_test: str = ""`, `project_eval: list[ProjectEvalDimension] = []`, `eval_weights: EvalWeights` (`hygiene=0.5, growth=0.5, project=0.0`), `research_target: ResearchTarget | None = None`, `inner_loop`/`outer_loop: ... | None = None`, `mutable_surfaces`/`fixed_surfaces`/`research_constraints: list[str] = []`, `cost_budget: CostBudgetConfig | None = None`, `hard_constraints: list[HardConstraint] = []`, `eval_spec: list[str] = []`, `hygiene_weights`/`growth_weights: TierWeights | None = None`, `adversarial: AdversarialConfig | None = None`, `parallel: ParallelConfig | None = None`, `clean_pr: bool = False` (+`clean_pr_include`/`clean_pr_exclude: list[str] = []`), `test_timeout: int = 600` (constrained `ge=1`). `scope` and `fixed_surfaces` MUST be interpreted as fnmatch-style glob patterns (with `**` recursive support) by every guard check that consumes them; a changed file matching no `scope` pattern MUST be treated as a scope violation, and a changed file matching any `fixed_surfaces` pattern MUST be treated as a fixed-surface violation regardless of scope membership. [[graph:factory.models.FactoryConfig]]
-Examples:
+Nested configuration models: `HypothesisBudget` (backlog-first hypothesis quotas), `HardConstraint` (name + shell `check` command + description — a non-zero exit is a mandatory revert the CEO cannot override), `ProjectEvalDimension` (name, command, `parse: "json"|"exit_code"`, weight, timeout, description — a user-defined project-specific eval), `EvalWeights` (hygiene/growth/project tier split), `ResearchTarget` (objective, metric, target value, run command, result path/parser, timeout), `AggregateMethod` enum (`mean`/`median`/`max`/`all_pass`), `InnerLoopConfig` (multi-run-per-cycle aggregation and plateau detection), `OuterLoopConfig` (max outer cycles, inner/outer mutable-surface lists), `CostBudgetConfig` (per-cycle/total USD caps), `TierWeights` (sparse per-dimension weight overrides within a tier — unset fields keep the default), `ParallelConfig` (`parallel_hypotheses: int` in `[1,8]`, `selection_strategy: "best_score"`), and the adversarial trio described in §6.4.

+### 6.3 Eval Domain: EvalResult, CompositeScore, EvalDimension, EvalProfile
-Guardrail outcomes SHOULD be recorded as evidence.
+`EvalResult` (name, score, weight, passed, details) is the atomic unit every eval dimension — hygiene, growth, or project-defined — MUST produce. `CompositeScore` (total, results, guard_violations, passed) is produced by `compute_composite()`: if `results` is empty, `total` MUST be `0.0` and `passed` MUST require both zero guard violations and `0.0 >= threshold`; otherwise weights MUST be renormalized to sum to `1.0` before the weighted sum is taken, and `passed` MUST require both zero guard violations and `total >= threshold`. `EvalDimension` (name, command, weight, `parser: "exit_code"|"json"|"regex"`, optional `regex_pattern`, description, `source: "explicit"|"discovered"|"researched"|"fallback"`) is the discovery-time representation; `EvalProfile` (project_type, dimensions, tier, confidence, `human_reviewed: bool = False`) gates the `EVALS_PENDING_REVIEW` state until a human (or `--auto-approve`) flips `human_reviewed` to `True`.
-### 4.8 Evidence
+### 6.4 Adversarial Domain
-`Evidence` is immutable or append-only support for a lifecycle decision.
+`AdversarialComponent` (role: `"generator"|"discriminator"`, eval_command, metric_name, threshold, scope, timeout) describes one side of a GAN-style loop; `AdversarialConfig` pairs a generator and discriminator with `hysteresis: int = 3`, optional `max_rounds`, and `convergence_window: int = 5`. `AdversarialState` (persisted at `.factory/adversarial_state.json`) tracks `active_role`, `current_round`, per-role consecutive-above-threshold streaks, a `converged: bool`, and a bounded `history: list[AdversarialPhaseRecord]`. Convergence MUST require both `generator_consecutive_above` and `discriminator_consecutive_above` to independently reach `convergence_window` — a single side sustaining performance MUST NOT be sufficient.

+`ExperimentRecord` (id, timestamp, hypothesis, change_summary, issue_number, pr_number, score_before/after, delta, `verdict: "keep"|"revert"|"error"|"superseded"`, cost_usd, notes, research_citations) is the atomic unit of `results.tsv` and `experiments/NNN/verdict.json`; `delta`, when unset, MUST be derived as `round(score_after - score_before, 6)` at finalize time. `CrossProjectInsights` (projects, outcomes, category_stats, winning/losing categories, patterns, generated_at) aggregates `HypothesisOutcome`, `ProjectSummary`, and `Pattern` records across every registered project for `factory insights`. `SessionSummary` captures an end-of-cycle rollup (kept/reverted/errored experiments, remaining backlog, guard violations, items needing human input, score/cost deltas).
-Evidence SHOULD include project identity and MAY include repository identity,

+### 6.6 ACE Pipeline and Registry Domain
-### 4.9 Decision
+`AgentVerdict` (role, `verdict: "PROCEED"|"REDIRECT"|"ABORT"`, rationale, issues, experiment_id) is the parsed form of a `ceo-verdict-*.md` file. `Observation` (source, content, timestamp, project, tags) and `PerformanceReport` (per-project verdict/observation rollup plus `verdict_patterns`) feed the ACE reflector. `ProjectEntry`/`ProjectRegistry` back `~/.factory/registry.json` — a project is registered idempotently by resolved absolute path, and stats (`experiment_count`, `latest_score`, `last_experiment_at`) are updated on every `finalize()`. `CycleState` (persisted at `.factory/state/cycle.json`) preserves `mode`, `initial_prompt`, `respawns`, and the runner/session identity across CEO respawns within one logical cycle. `RefinementEntry`/`RefinementState` track sequential post-cycle refinement requests.
-A `Decision` is the lifecycle outcome accepted from evidence and guardrail
-results.
+### 6.7 Runner and Workflow Domain
-Common decision kinds include:
+`AgentRunRequest` (prompt, prompt_core, task, cwd, timeout, model, `skip_permissions: bool = True`, role, session identifiers, project_path, extras) and `AgentRunResult` (stdout, return_code, usage, metadata) form the `Runner` protocol's structured I/O contract — every runner implementation (`claude`, `bob`, `codex`, `opencode`) MUST accept the former and return the latter. Workflow-graph primitives (`Node` and its subtypes `AgentNode`, `FnNode`, `GateNode`, `ForkNode`, `JoinNode`, `SubgraphForkNode`, `SelectionNode`, `Study`, `LLMNode`; `Edge`; `Workflow`; `Verdict`/`VerdictType`) are detailed behaviorally in §7.3 and §8.2. Outer-loop domain models (`SwarmConfig`, `Individual`, `MutationRecord`/`MutationType`, `HyperparameterRecord`, `GenerationSummary`, outer-loop `EvalResult`, `AuditResult`, `OuterLoopResult`, `OuterLoopState`) are detailed in §8.3.

+`detect_state()` MUST evaluate these checks in exactly this order (missing repo → pending eval review → has factory → open plan issues → fallback), because the pending-review check must fire before the has-factory check to correctly classify projects mid-way through `discover → review → init`. Only a GitHub issue labeled exactly `"plan"` MUST be treated as evidence of an unbuilt repo; an issue labeled `"implementation"` is the factory's own Improve-mode backlog convention on already-built repos and MUST NOT be conflated with it. `gh` CLI failures or timeouts MUST be treated as "no open plan issues" rather than propagated as errors.
-`Memory` is durable knowledge used by future cycles.

+`ExperimentStore.begin()` MUST be idempotent: re-invoking it for an experiment directory that already exists (e.g. after an interrupted run) MUST return the existing ID rather than raising. `ExperimentStore.finalize()` MUST recreate the experiment directory if it was removed (e.g. by `git clean`) before writing `verdict.json`. A `superseded` verdict MUST be used only when a later experiment supersedes an earlier one's hypothesis, never as a substitute for `revert`.
-Memory records SHOULD distinguish durable learnings from reconstructable runtime
-state.
+### 7.3 Workflow Graph Execution
-### 4.11 Specification
+Every workflow is a `Workflow(name, nodes, edges, start_node, trigger)`. Execution MUST proceed node-by-node from `start_node`, following `Edge`s whose `condition` (if set) matches the most recent `GateNode`'s `Verdict.type`. `GateNode.evaluator_type` MUST be one of `"agent"` (an LLM, typically the CEO, judges and emits `PROCEED`/`RELOOP`/`HALT`), `"fn"` (a shell command's stdout/exit code is parsed programmatically), or `"user"` (execution MUST block for human input and MUST NOT be auto-approved unless the caller explicitly passed an auto-approve flag). A `RELOOP` verdict MUST carry a `target` node id and MUST be bounded by `max_iterations` (default `3`) — an executor or CEO exceeding that bound MUST escalate to `HALT` rather than loop indefinitely. `ForkNode.targets` MUST all begin execution before the corresponding `JoinNode.sources` barrier is considered satisfied; a `JoinNode` MUST NOT proceed until every listed source has completed. An `AgentNode` with non-empty `post_checks` (`ArtifactCheck`: `must_exist`, `min_size`, `must_contain`) MUST have its declared `writes` path(s) validated against every check before the node is considered successfully completed; a failed check MUST be treated as node failure, not silently ignored.
-A `Specification` is a structured, normative description of the project's
-identity, goals, technical stack, architecture, and requirements.
+### 7.4 Adversarial Eval Loop Phase Machine
-Resolution order:
+```
+ ┌────────────┐ consecutive_above ≥ hysteresis ┌────────────────┐

+```
-1. A committed specification at the project root (e.g., `SPEC.md`) is
- authoritative.
-2. If no committed specification exists, the Project Resolver SHOULD generate
- one from introspected project metadata and place it in the project's durable
- state directory (e.g., `.factory/SPEC.md`).
-3. A generated specification captures discovered state — it uses descriptive
- language for what exists and RFC 2119 normative language only for the
- standard boilerplate.
+The active role MUST switch when its `consecutive_above` streak reaches `config.hysteresis`; a switch MUST reset the streak counters for the newly active role's tracking. `detect_convergence()` MUST require `generator_consecutive_above >= convergence_window` AND `discriminator_consecutive_above >= convergence_window` simultaneously — convergence based on only one side's streak MUST NOT be reported. A corrupt or unreadable `adversarial_state.json` MUST be treated as "no state" (fresh `AdversarialState()`) rather than propagated as a fatal error.
-Rules:
+### 7.5 CEO Cycle and Crash Recovery
-- Implementations MUST NOT overwrite a committed specification with a generated
- one.
-- A generated specification SHOULD be updated when discovery re-runs.
-- The lifecycle coordinator and contract builder SHOULD reference the
- specification when deriving execution contracts and validating scope.
-- When a specification exists, plan outputs SHOULD include a specification diff
- describing which requirements are added, modified, or removed.
+`CycleState` at `.factory/state/cycle.json` records `cycle_id`, `started_at`, `mode`, `respawns`, and runner/session identity. The CEO completion guard (`factory/ceo_completion.py`) MUST detect premature exit (the CEO process terminating before all planned work is recorded as complete) and MUST re-spawn the CEO with a continuation task rather than silently ending the cycle. A `cycle.json` older than `CYCLE_STALENESS_HOURS` (24) MUST be treated as stale and MUST NOT trigger an auto-resume. Respawns MUST be capped at `DEFAULT_MAX_RESPAWNS` (5, env-overridable) per cycle to prevent an infinite respawn loop from a systematically-crashing CEO.
-### 4.12 Deployment Profile
+## 8. Module Specifications
-A `DeploymentProfile` is a named assembly of component implementations.
+### 8.1 `factory/cli`
-Logical fields:
+**Role:** The single dispatch point for every `factory ` invocation. `factory/cli/_main.py:main()` builds the argparse parser, loads `.env.local`, and routes to one of ~60 `cmd_*` handlers via a flat dictionary keyed by subcommand string (with nested dispatch for `spec`, `graph`, `workflow`, and `outer-loop` subcommands). [[graph:factory.cli]]
-- `name`
-- `surface`
-- `runtime`
-- `state_backend`
-- `guardrails`
-- `output_surfaces`
-- `policy_sources`
+- The dispatcher MUST catch any exception raised by a handler, print `Error: {e}` to stderr, and return a non-zero exit code rather than propagating a traceback to the caller's shell.
+- Handlers under `factory/cli/*.py` (`agents.py`, `ceo.py`, `run.py`, `contained*.py`, `outer_loop.py`, etc.) MUST NOT themselves perform business logic beyond argument marshaling — they MUST delegate to library functions in `factory/store.py`, `factory/eval/`, `factory/agents/runner.py`, and peers, so that the same logic is reachable both from the CLI and from tests without a subprocess.
+- Adding a new top-level subcommand requires both a parser entry (`factory/cli/_parser_groups.py` or `_main.py`) and a `handlers` dict entry; a subcommand present in one but not the other MUST fail closed (`Unknown command`) rather than silently no-op.
-The `cli-local` deployment profile is the primary product surface for this
-specification. Other profiles MAY expose different surfaces, but SHOULD
-preserve the lifecycle semantics of this specification.
+### 8.2 `factory/workflow`
-### 4.13 Shared State Records (OPTIONAL)
+**Role:** The typed graph engine — `primitives.py` (node/edge/verdict types), `definitions.py` (the four registered graphs: `design`, `create`, `spec-generate`, plus reusable subgraph helpers `_study_subgraph`, `_deep_qa_subgraph`, `_research_subgraph`), `executor.py` (headless `WorkflowExecutor`), `skill_export.py` (graph → `SKILL.md` renderer), and `validation.py` (NetworkX-backed structural checks). [[graph:factory.workflow]]
-Implementations that support shared, externally reconciled, or multi-actor
-state MAY represent project state as `StateRecord`s.
+- `build_workflow()` is the base graph (fork 3 researchers → join → CEO gate → strategist → CEO hard gate → async archivist → builder → CEO gate → deep-QA fork/join → QA gate (max 3 reloops) → doc-freshness gate → precheck gate → async archivist → non-blocking spec-generate); `design_workflow()` MUST be built as `build_workflow()` plus a `gate_has_factory` conditional entry (existing projects route through the study subgraph, new/partial projects route through `factory discover` first) and MUST replace the agent-evaluated `gate_strategy` with a user-evaluated one.
+- `_get_builtin_registry()` MUST be treated as the sole authority on which workflow names are constructible; `register_all()` MUST invoke every entry in that registry and MUST NOT hardcode a parallel list that can drift from it.
+- `Workflow.validate_graph()` MUST be run (via `factory workflow validate`) before a newly authored or edited workflow is trusted — a graph with unreachable nodes, dangling edges, or a fork without a matching join is a defect the executor cannot recover from at run time.
+- The templatize → review → guard → split `SKILL.md` pipeline MUST be re-run (`factory workflow export-skills`) after any change to `definitions.py`; a regression test (`test_annotations_match_source`) MUST fail CI if the exported `SKILL.md`/`SKILL.annotations.yaml` drift from the source graph.
-Logical fields:
+### 8.3 `factory/outer_loop`
-- `id`
-- `kind`
-- `project_id`
-- `repo_id` (OPTIONAL)
-- `source`
-- `actor`
-- `revision`
-- `parent_ids`
-- `created_at`
-- `updated_at`
-- `payload`
+**Role:** MAP-Elites evolutionary search over workflow topologies. `engine.py`'s `SwarmEngine` orchestrates seeding, tournament selection, `mutations.py`'s seven structured operators (`NODE_INSERT`, `NODE_REMOVE`, `EDGE_REDIRECT`, `PARALLELIZE`, `SERIALIZE`, `PARAM_MUTATE`, `PROMPT_MUTATE`), and convergence detection (plateau, diversity collapse, early stop). `evaluator.py`'s `SwarmEvaluator` runs a full CEO cycle per candidate as the "inner loop," with `FitnessCache`/`CycleRecordCache` deduplicating by structural/content hash. `population.py`'s `Population` and `MAPElitesArchive` maintain a 4D grid (depth × fork_degree × agent_count × gate_count). `mode_registry.py`'s `EphemeralModeRegistry` registers candidates as temporary modes (`evolve-gen{N}-{id[:8]}`) with content-hash integrity checking. [[graph:factory.outer_loop]]
-A `StateConflict` records an unresolved merge problem when such
-implementations detect one.
+- A candidate graph MUST be scored via `SwarmEvaluator`, which MUST cache by structural hash so that two candidates that are graph-isomorphic MUST NOT be re-evaluated at full cost.
+- `mode_registry.promote()` MUST verify the ephemeral mode's content hash before promoting it to a permanent named mode — a hash mismatch (indicating the mode file was mutated after registration) MUST block promotion.
+- `overfit.py`'s `OverfitDetector` comparing training vs. holdout scores SHOULD gate any claim that an evolved topology generalizes; a topology that wins only on training instances MUST be flagged, not silently promoted.
-Implementations that do not expose shared-state semantics do not need to model
-state records or conflicts as first-class domain objects.
+### 8.4 `factory/agents`
-## 5. Lifecycle Specification
+**Role:** Prompt resolution and subprocess invocation for every specialist role. `runner.py`'s `resolve_prompt()` implements the three-tier lookup (project override → user-global → factory default) with automatic ACE playbook injection and, for the CEO role, automatic `SKILL.md` injection keyed by `workflow_mode`. `invoke_agent()` is the synchronous, blocking call every CEO invocation of `factory agent ` ultimately runs through. [[graph:factory.agents.runner]]
-The lifecycle is:
+- `resolve_prompt()` MUST check `/.factory/agents/.md` before `~/.factory/agents/prompts/.md` before `factory/agents/prompts/.md`; whichever tier resolves MUST still receive the evolved-playbook injection — an override MUST NOT opt a role out of ACE learning.
+- Consecutive agent-spawn failures MUST be counted; reaching `_FAILURE_ABORT_THRESHOLD` (2) MUST raise `ConsecutiveAgentFailureError` rather than let the CEO fall back to doing the specialist's work itself (Sacred Rule 8).
+- Every invocation MUST write its captured stdout to `.factory/reviews/-latest.md` (or a `--review-tag`-suffixed variant for parallel invocations) and MUST emit `agent.started`/`agent.completed`/`agent.failed`/`agent.timeout` events — a caller that bypasses `invoke_agent` (e.g. the forbidden native `Agent` tool) breaks both the review-capture and telemetry contracts.
-```text
-Intake → Scope → Dispatch → Execute → Validate → Decide → Publish → Learn → Resume
-```
+### 8.5 `factory/eval`
+
+**Role:** Composite scoring. `runner.py`'s `run_eval()` computes 6 mandatory hygiene dimensions (`hygiene.py`) and 5+ mandatory growth dimensions (`growth.py`) unconditionally, optionally runs the project's own `eval/score.py` as additive hygiene dimensions and any `factory.md`-declared `ProjectEvalDimension`s, then merges all tiers via `_merge_all()` and scores via `scorer.py`'s `compute_composite()`. `guards.py` implements the non-negotiable safety checks. [[graph:factory.eval]]
+
+- Weight distribution MUST default to 50% hygiene / 50% growth when no custom project eval exists, and MUST auto-redistribute to 30%/20%/50% (hygiene/growth/project) when project eval dimensions are present and the user has not set explicit `eval_weights` — an explicit `eval_weights.project > 0` MUST override the auto-split by proportional renormalization instead.
+- `TierWeights` overrides MUST be applied as a sparse dict (only non-`None` fields) before within-tier normalization, so an unset override MUST fall back to the dimension's discovered/default weight rather than zero.
+- `check_scope`/`check_fixed_surfaces` MUST use the same glob-matching semantics (`_glob_match`, supporting `**`) so that a pattern authored for `scope` and reused for `fixed_surfaces` behaves identically; both MUST ignore a fixed allowlist of auto-generated lock files (`uv.lock`, `package-lock.json`, etc.) so routine dependency-resolution side effects never trigger a guard violation.
+- `run_eval()` MUST write the resulting `CompositeScore` to `.factory/last_eval.json` whenever the `.factory` directory exists, for dashboard consumption — this write MUST be best-effort (an `OSError` MUST be swallowed, not propagated).
+
+### 8.6 `factory/discovery`
+
+**Role:** First-run project introspection. `introspect.py` detects language, framework, test/lint/type-check commands, and CI presence by pattern-matching known project files; `profile.py`'s `build_eval_profile()` converts an introspected `ProjectProfile` into an `EvalProfile`; `generate.py` writes a runnable `eval/score.py` from that profile; `eval_spec.py` auto-promotes free-text spec bullet points into executable project-eval dimensions where possible. [[graph:factory.discovery]]
+
+- A newly generated `EvalProfile` MUST be written with `human_reviewed=False`; only an explicit human review step (or `--auto-approve`) MUST flip it, per §7.1's `EVALS_PENDING_REVIEW` gate.
+- `classify_eval_spec_item()` MUST label each spec bullet as `"executable"` (can become a real command) or `"judgmental"` (requires an LLM judge) — only `"executable"` items MUST be auto-promoted to `ProjectEvalDimension`s; judgmental items MUST remain advisory text for the Strategist/QA agents.
+- The generated `eval/score.py` is itself a **fixed surface** for the running experiment: `guards.check_eval_immutable()` compares a `git ls-tree` snapshot of `eval/` taken before the change against one taken after, and any diff MUST be reported as a guard violation.
+
+### 8.7 `factory/store`
+
+**Role:** The `.factory/` filesystem contract. `ExperimentStore` owns `init()`, `reparse_config()` (factory.md → FactoryConfig), `begin()`/`finalize()` (experiment lifecycle), `load_history()` (TSV → `ExperimentRecord` list), and eval-profile/strategy read/write helpers. [[graph:factory.store.ExperimentStore]]
+
+- `reparse_config()`'s markdown parser MUST treat any `#`/`##`/`###` heading as a section boundary, MUST map known heading aliases (e.g. `"command"` → `eval_command`, `"modifiable"` → `scope`) via `section_map`, and MUST treat indented continuation lines under a `- ` list item as appended (newline-joined) content of that item rather than a new item — this is the mechanism `_parse_project_eval`/`_parse_hard_constraints` rely on for multi-line `name:`/`command:`/`check:` blocks.
+- `begin()` and `finalize()` MUST hold `self._lock` (a `FileLock` on `.store.lock`) for their filesystem-mutating sections, because concurrent parallel-hypothesis experiments MUST NOT race on next-ID allocation or TSV append.
+- `read_config()` MUST raise `FileNotFoundError` with a `factory init`-pointing message when `config.json` is absent, and MUST raise `ValueError` with a `factory init --reparse`-pointing message on malformed JSON or a Pydantic `ValidationError` — a caller MUST NOT be left to guess the remediation step from a bare traceback.
+
+### 8.8 `factory/strategy`
+
+**Role:** The FEEC (Fix > Exploit > Explore > Combine) priority heuristic and 3-tier experiment-history compression. `categorize_hypothesis()` classifies free text by keyword matching (FIX keywords checked first, then EXPLOIT, then COMBINE, with EXPLORE as the uncategorized default); `find_anti_patterns()` flags a proposed hypothesis whose Jaccard token similarity to a *reverted* past hypothesis exceeds a threshold (default `0.6`); `format_tiered_history()` renders the last 3 experiments in full detail, the next 7 as one-liners, and everything older as aggregate stats only. [[graph:factory.strategy]]
+
+- `detect_research_plateau()` MUST require at least `threshold + 1` run summaries before declaring a plateau, and MUST compare the best metric value in the most recent `threshold`-sized window against the best value in everything *before* that window — a plateau MUST NOT be declared from an under-populated history.
+- `find_anti_patterns()` MUST only consider history entries with `verdict == "revert"`; a `keep` or `error` entry with high textual similarity MUST NOT be flagged, since re-attempting a kept idea is not an anti-pattern.
+
+### 8.9 `factory/state`
+
+**Role:** `detect_state()`, the sole implementation of §7.1's state machine. It MUST be the only code path the CLI and CEO use to classify a project — any mode-routing logic that re-derives project state by other means (e.g. only checking for `.git`) risks disagreeing with `factory detect`'s output. [[graph:factory.state]]
+
+### 8.10 `factory/registry`
+
+**Role:** The global `~/.factory/registry.json` project index. `register_project()` MUST be idempotent by resolved absolute path (re-registering an already-known path MUST be a no-op, not a duplicate entry); `update_project_stats()` MUST silently log-and-skip (not raise) when asked to update a path not present in the registry, since `ExperimentStore.finalize()` calls it best-effort. `discover_projects()` MUST identify a factory-managed directory solely by the presence of `.factory/results.tsv`, independent of the registry file. [[graph:factory.registry]]
+
+### 8.11 `factory/adversarial`
+
+**Role:** Persistence and phase logic for the GAN-style adversarial eval loop described in §7.4. `load_adversarial_state()` MUST return a fresh default `AdversarialState` on any parse failure (JSON error, type error, validation error) rather than propagate — a corrupt state file MUST NOT block a research cycle. [[graph:factory.adversarial]]
+
+### 8.12 `factory/user_config`
+
+**Role:** Layered global configuration (`~/.factory/config.toml`) and credential profiles. `resolve()` implements a five-tier precedence: CLI flag > env var > profile credential > config.toml default > hardcoded default. `load_config(profile=...)` applies a named `[credentials.]` section by overriding `os.environ` (not `setdefault`) and processes an optional `[credentials..unset]` `vars` list *before* applying sets. [[graph:factory.user_config]]
+
+- `_PROTECTED_VARS` (shell fundamentals like `PATH`/`HOME`; code-execution vectors like `LD_PRELOAD`; language path vars like `PYTHONPATH`; factory internals like `FACTORY_TRACE_ID`) MUST NOT be settable or unsettable via any profile — `load_config()` MUST raise `ValueError` if a profile attempts either.
+- `[credentials..unset].vars` MUST be validated as a list; a string or other non-list value MUST raise `ValueError` rather than being silently iterated character-by-character.
+- Overriding an already-set env var with a different value via a profile MUST emit `log.warning("profile_override", key=k, profile=profile)` — the value itself MUST NOT be logged, to avoid leaking secrets into structured logs.
+- `show_config()` MUST mask sensitive-looking values (per `is_sensitive()`) unless `--reveal` is explicitly passed.
+
+### 8.13 `factory/runners`
+
+**Role:** The `Runner` protocol (`protocol.py`) and its four implementations (`claude.py`, `bob.py`, `codex.py`, `opencode.py`), each described by a `RunnerMeta` (binary name, required env vars, capability flags) and each implementing `build_command()`/`headless()`/`interactive_run()`. [[graph:factory.runners]]
+
+- `RunnerMeta.check_auth()` MUST use a supplied `custom_auth_check` callable when present (e.g. Bob's file-based auth) and MUST otherwise fall back to checking that every `required_env_vars` entry is a non-empty environment variable.
+- A runner that does not support a requested capability (e.g. OpenCode's lack of `--bg`/session events) MUST fail with an explicit, named error at invocation time — it MUST NOT silently degrade to a different behavior that the caller did not request.
+- Dry-run modes (`FACTORY_BOB_DRY_RUN`, `FACTORY_CODEX_DRY_RUN`, `FACTORY_OPENCODE_DRY_RUN`) MUST return stub `AgentRunResult`s and MUST still log usage, so tests exercising the CEO loop do not require live API credentials.
+
+### 8.14 `factory/contained`
+
+**Role:** Running any `factory ` inside a podman container or an OpenShift/Kubernetes namespace via `factory contained [flags] -- `, with path rewriting only — the wrapped command's semantics are never parsed or altered. Submodules: `provenance.py` (five pre-flight assertions that the workspace derives from the live working tree, not `HEAD`), `identity.py` (UID/ownership probing so a bind mount is never silently read-only), `credentials.py` (`FACTORY_`-prefixed-plus-`--forward`-named env policy, redacted wherever printed), `k8s.py`/`k8s_review.py`/`k8s_setup.py` (cluster object diffing, walk-and-apply, namespace/context selection), `division.py`/`k8s_division.py` (opt-in build-tooling access, isolated to an unauthenticated local MCP server or a sidecar `oc`-only container), `style.py` (cbreak-mode prompt UI), `claude_state.py` (pre-recorded answers to Claude Code's interactive-only onboarding prompts). [[graph:factory.contained]]
+
+- `verify` (both local and k8s) MUST report credential *shape* only — it MUST NOT print secret material — and MUST redact any secret-looking value in any command it prints.
+- On the cluster target, the sidecar container that holds `oc` and the ServiceAccount token MUST run a distinct image (`FACTORY_CONTAINED_SIDECAR_IMAGE`) from the agent's own image, and its Role MUST exclude `pods/exec`; `verify` MUST assert this via a `SubjectAccessReview` API object rather than `oc auth can-i --as`, because the latter collapses `pods/exec` onto `pods` and reports a false "yes."
+- Each cluster object accepted during the interactive review walk MUST be applied at the moment of acceptance, never batched — a `WalkResult` MUST record exactly what was applied so an aborted walk's message can state precisely how much survives.
+- Neither the local nor the cluster target MUST be represented anywhere in user-facing output as a security sandbox for agent-authored code; `--help` text MUST state the boundary and stop there.
+
+### 8.15 `factory/ace`
-### 5.1 Intake
+**Role:** Autonomous Context Engineering — the deterministic (no-LLM) Reflect → Curate → Inject pipeline that evolves per-role playbooks from experiment outcomes. `reflector.py` parses `ceo:keep`/`ceo:revert` notes and agent-failure patterns across all managed projects into candidate bullets; `curator.py` deduplicates (SequenceMatcher, threshold `0.75`), prunes net-negative bullets (harmful count exceeding helpful count with sufficient observations), and caps capacity by net score; `injector.py` resolves and appends the user-local evolved playbook (`~/.factory/playbooks/.md`) over the factory default (`factory/agents/playbooks/.md`) into a role's resolved prompt. [[graph:factory.ace]]
-The system accepts work from one or more work-item sources and normalizes it into
-a work item.
+- Reflection MUST be pure pattern extraction over structured data (parsed notes fields, event logs) — it MUST NOT require an LLM call, so it can run cheaply and deterministically on every ACE cycle.
+- Curation MUST apply net-negative removal before deduplication before capacity capping, in that order, since removing clearly-harmful bullets first avoids wasting the similarity pass on rules that will be pruned anyway.
-### 5.2 Scope
+### 8.16 `factory/precheck` and `factory/ceo_completion`
-The system binds the work item to a project context and derives an execution
-contract. When a project specification exists (committed or generated), the
-scoping phase SHOULD use it to inform contract derivation and scope
-validation.
+**Role:** The two non-overridable gates in the system. `precheck.py`'s `run_precheck()` aggregates: score-direction (no regression, meets threshold), scope guard, fixed-surface guard, anti-pattern similarity, user-defined hard constraints, and — when an `exp_id` is supplied — proof that QA actually ran (`check_qa_execution`, matching either legacy monolithic `qa` events or the new `health_checker`/`code_reviewer`/`adversarial_tester` events after the experiment's `experiment.begin` timestamp). `ceo_completion.py` implements the auto-resume behavior of §7.5. [[graph:factory.precheck]]
-### 5.3 Dispatch
+- A single failing check in `run_precheck()` MUST fail the whole aggregate (`passed = len(failures) == 0`) — there is no partial-credit precheck pass.
+- `check_qa_execution()` MUST default to `passed=True` when no matching `experiment.begin` event exists for the given `exp_id` (nothing to verify against) rather than failing closed on missing telemetry, but MUST fail closed (`passed=False`, "Sacred Rule 9 violation") when a begin event exists and no subsequent QA-completion event is found before finalize.
-The system selects a worker runtime and starts an execution attempt.
-Dispatch MUST preserve enough state to support observability and recovery.
+### 8.17 Observability and Cross-Project Learning: `factory/events`, `factory/checkpoint`, `factory/report`, `factory/insights`, `factory/study`, `factory/digest`, `factory/mempalace`, `factory/dashboard`, `factory/notify`
-Dispatch modes include:
+**Role:** `events.py` is the append-only JSONL event log at `.factory/events.jsonl`, written by `agents/runner.py` and the heartbeat loop; `checkpoint.py` saves/restores CEO state for crash-resilient resume distinct from the lighter-weight `CycleState`; `report.py`'s `generate_performance_report()` consolidates verdicts/observations into `.factory/performance_report.json`, the ACE reflector's primary input; `insights.py` computes `CrossProjectInsights` across every project the registry knows about; `study.py` mines prior interaction logs for hypothesis-relevant context; `digest.py` summarizes factory activity from the Obsidian/MemPalace vault; `mempalace/` wraps the optional MemPalace long-term-memory integration behind graceful `ImportError` degradation (`mempalace/helpers.py` is documented as the *only* file permitted to import `mempalace.*`); `dashboard/app.py` is the FastAPI live web UI with SSE event streaming; `notify/` implements the `Notifier` protocol (currently `TelegramNotifier`) for out-of-band cycle notifications. [[graph:factory.events]] [[graph:community:observability]]
-- **synchronous** — the caller blocks until the worker completes (default)
-- **interactive** — the worker runs in a user-facing terminal session
-- **background** — the worker is launched as a detached session; the caller
- polls for completion and collects output when the session finishes
+- Every agent invocation MUST emit `agent.started` and exactly one terminal event (`agent.completed`, `agent.failed`, or `agent.timeout`) to `.factory/events.jsonl` — a caller reading this log to reconstruct cycle history MUST be able to assume start/terminal pairing holds.
+- `mempalace/helpers.py`'s import-isolation convention MUST be preserved by any new mempalace-touching code — routing a new `mempalace.*` import through a different module would defeat the single-point graceful-degradation guarantee.
+- The dashboard MUST treat `.factory/last_eval.json` and `.factory/events.jsonl` as read-only, best-effort inputs — a missing or malformed file MUST degrade the relevant UI panel, not crash the server.
-Dispatch mode MAY be scoped independently per lifecycle tier. For example, a
-coordinator MAY run synchronously while its delegated workers dispatch in
-background mode, allowing the operator to observe the coordinator while
-workers remain visible through an agent management interface.
+### 8.18 `factory/graph` and the code knowledge graph CLI (`factory/cli/graph.py`)
-Dispatch mode is a runtime concern. It MUST NOT change the semantics of the
-execution contract, evidence records, or decision lifecycle.
+**Role:** Wraps the `graphifyy` library to extract (`factory graph extract`), incrementally update (`factory graph update`), and query (`status`/`query`/`explain`/`path`) an AST-derived code knowledge graph persisted at `graph.json` in the project root (deliberately outside `.factory/`, since it is a build artifact of the source tree, not experiment state). [[graph:factory.graph]]
-### 5.4 Execute
+- `graph.json` MUST be a NetworkX node-link JSON document (`directed`, `multigraph`, `nodes`, `links` keys) tagged with `built_at_commit`; any consumer (the Researcher's graph-exploration step, `factory spec generate`) MUST treat a missing `graph.json` as "no graph available" and fall back to direct file exploration rather than failing.
+- `factory graph update` MUST be incremental where the underlying `graphifyy` extraction supports it — a full re-extraction on every study cycle would be prohibitively expensive on large repositories.
-The worker runtime performs the scoped work. It SHOULD emit logs, status, and
-artifacts sufficient for validation and review.
+### 8.19 `factory/spec`
-### 5.5 Validate
+**Role:** Behavioral-spec generation and maintenance for a target repository — the same subsystem that produces this document. `generate.py` orchestrates graphify extraction plus a single Spec Annotator agent invocation (the `spec-generate` workflow in §8.2); `ops.py` provides `validate`/`scope`/`update`/`impact` operations, several of which shell out to further agent calls; `apply_diff.py` applies a structured "SPEC Diff" produced by the Strategist back onto `SPEC.md`. [[graph:factory.spec]]
-Guardrails evaluate the produced state, artifacts, or external checks.
-Validation failures MUST be visible to the decision step.
+- `factory spec validate` MUST run only after the annotation step has been CEO-approved (per the `spec-generate` workflow's `gate_annotate`) — validating an unapproved draft wastes the check's diagnostic value.
+- A generated `SPEC.md` MUST NOT contain scoring tables, coupling metrics, or change-impact tables (the Entry Points table in §11 is the sole permitted exception) — relationship detail belongs in `[[graph:...]]` references, not inline tables.
-### 5.6 Decide
+### 8.20 `factory/skillopt`
-The lifecycle coordinator records an explicit decision. Decisions SHOULD be
-derived from evidence and guardrail outcomes.
+**Role:** A benchmark-driven `SKILL.md` optimization loop, structurally parallel to but independent from the ACE playbook pipeline — it mutates the rendered `SKILL.md` prose itself (via `skill.py`'s structured `Edit`/`Patch` application) based on rollout failures (`failure_tracker.py`), LLM-ranked candidate edits (`clip.py`), hierarchical patch merging across minibatches (`aggregate.py`), and a validation `gate.py` that accepts or rejects a candidate skill by comparing benchmark scores. `adapter.py` defines the abstract per-benchmark environment interface new benchmarks MUST implement to plug into this loop. [[graph:factory.skillopt]]
-### 5.7 Publish
+- `gate.py`'s accept/reject decision MUST be based on a measured benchmark score comparison between the candidate and incumbent `SKILL.md`, mirroring the eval-driven keep/revert philosophy applied at the workflow-prose level rather than the code level.
-If an implementation supports publishing, it MAY update external systems such as
-branches, PRs, comments, ticket state, or managed-state records. Publishing
-behavior is implementation-defined.
+### 8.21 Isolation Primitives: `factory/worktree` and `factory/podman`
-### 5.8 Learn
+**Role:** `worktree.py` manages git worktree lifecycle for experiment isolation (used by parallel-hypothesis execution and outer-loop candidate evaluation, each getting an independent working tree rooted at the same base commit); `podman.py` is the single file that composes (never executes ad hoc) every `podman` CLI invocation used by the local contained runtime, so that `FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1` can print the exact argv the real path would run. [[graph:factory.worktree]] [[graph:factory.podman]]
-The memory system records durable learnings, observations, and reports. Memory
-SHOULD be usable by future work-item selection, scoping, and validation.
+- All podman-specific knowledge MUST live in `podman.py`, and all OpenShift/Kubernetes-specific knowledge MUST live in `factory/contained/k8s.py` — no other module MUST shell out to `podman` or `oc` directly, so that dry-run composition and the live path can never drift.
-### 5.9 Resume
+### 8.22 Research-Mode Support: `factory/inner_loop`, `factory/cycle_analyzer`, `factory/research/`, `factory/baseline`, `factory/precheck` (research-specific checks)
-The system SHOULD be able to reconstruct useful lifecycle state from durable
-records, evidence, external bindings, and materialized views. Exact in-memory
-runtime state is implementation-defined.
+**Role:** `inner_loop.py`'s `InnerLoop` is a model-like wrapper pairing a mode with an evaluator for outer-loop optimizer consumption; `cycle_analyzer.py`'s `CycleAnalyzer` reconstructs a structured, mode-agnostic record of what happened in one inner-loop cycle (agents run, order, outputs, evaluator verdict) purely by reading `.factory/` artifacts after the fact; `research/leakage.py` guards against ground-truth content leaking into hypotheses or code (direct file access or indirect content hints) during research-mode runs; `research/runner.py` executes research run commands and parses results per `ResearchTarget`; `baseline.py` fetches stored eval baselines from a project's `eval-data` branch for trend comparison. [[graph:factory.inner_loop]] [[graph:factory.research]]
-## 6. Deployment Profile Specification
+- `CycleAnalyzer` MUST derive its record solely from persisted `.factory/` artifacts (events, reviews, verdict files) — it MUST NOT depend on in-memory state from the CEO process that produced them, since outer-loop evaluation may run the analyzer against a cycle from a different process entirely.
+- Leakage checks MUST run before a research-mode hypothesis or diff is accepted; a detected leak MUST block the experiment regardless of its eval score, since a leaked ground truth invalidates the measurement itself.
-Deployment profiles bundle component implementations.
+## 9. Shared Contracts
-### 6.1 `cli-local` Profile
+### 9.1 The `.factory/` Directory Contract
-The `cli-local` profile is the primary compatibility surface.
+`.factory/` is the single shared filesystem namespace between the CLI, every specialist agent, and the CEO. Any producer writing under `.factory/reviews/`, `.factory/strategy/`, `.factory/archive/`, or `.factory/experiments/` MUST use the exact relative paths declared in the consuming workflow node's `reads`/`writes` sets (§8.2), because the executor's artifact-validation hooks and the CEO's manual `Read`-then-review protocol both key off those literal paths. A project MUST add `.factory/` to its `.gitignore`, since it contains per-run experiment data, usage logs, and potentially sensitive auth files (e.g. `.factory/.bob_auth`) that MUST NOT be committed. [[graph:path:factory.store:factory.agents.runner]]
-It consists of:
+### 9.2 The Agent Review Contract
-- CLI command surface
-- local worker runtime (supports multiple dispatch modes as implementation-defined options)
-- local project state backend
-- local guardrail providers
-- implementation-defined local output surfaces
+Every `factory agent ` invocation MUST write its captured stdout to `.factory/reviews/-latest.md` (or a `--review-tag`-qualified variant), and the CEO's review of that output MUST be written to `.factory/reviews/ceo-verdict-.md` in the `Verdict / Rationale / Issues found / Instructions for next step` structure the CEO prompt defines. A downstream node that `reads` a review file MUST treat its absence as a hard failure of the preceding step, not as "nothing to review."
-### 6.2 Extension Profiles
+### 9.3 The Events Contract
-Other deployment profiles MAY exist. This specification does not require any
-fixed catalog beyond `cli-local`.
+`.factory/events.jsonl` MUST be append-only, one JSON object per line, each carrying at minimum a `type` and `timestamp` field in ISO-8601 form. Consumers (`ceo_completion.py`'s staleness checks, `precheck.py`'s `check_qa_execution`, the dashboard's SSE stream) MUST tolerate unknown event types and MUST NOT assume a fixed total ordering across concurrently-written events from parallel agent invocations beyond timestamp comparison.
-Extension profiles MUST document selected component implementations and
-SHOULD preserve the lifecycle semantics in this specification.
+### 9.4 The `factory.md` → `FactoryConfig` Contract
-## 7. Shared-State Semantics (OPTIONAL)
+`factory.md` is the only human-authored config surface; `.factory/config.json` MUST always be treated as a derived, regeneratable artifact of it (`factory init --reparse`). A heading in `factory.md` not present in `store.py`'s `section_map` MUST still be captured under its literal lower-snake-case heading name, so that future config fields can be added by extending `FactoryConfig` and the parser together without a breaking migration of already-authored `factory.md` files.
-This section applies only to implementations that support shared, externally
-reconciled, or multi-actor state.
+### 9.5 The Workflow-Graph-to-SKILL.md Contract
-State backends SHOULD prefer append-only events and immutable evidence over
-destructive updates.
+A `Workflow` object is the sole source of truth for a mode's behavior; the corresponding `skills/workflow-/SKILL.md` and `SKILL.annotations.yaml` MUST be regenerated (`factory workflow export-skills`), never hand-edited, whenever the graph changes. The CI regression test comparing annotations to source MUST be treated as a correctness gate on this contract, not an optional lint.
-Materialized views SHOULD be rebuildable from durable records.
+## 10. Configuration Specification
-Record kinds MAY define different merge policies.
+### 10.1 Configuration Sources and Precedence
-When an implementation supports multi-user state, it MUST represent unresolved
-important conflicts explicitly rather than silently applying last-writer-wins.
+Two independent configuration surfaces exist and MUST NOT be conflated:
-## 8. Guardrails and Trust Policy
+- **Global factory configuration** (`~/.factory/config.toml`, `FACTORY_*` env vars, `--profile` credential sections): five-tier precedence — CLI flag > env var > profile credential (when `--profile` is passed) > `config.toml` default > hardcoded default. A `--profile` selection MUST override pre-existing shell env vars for the keys it sets (explicit opt-in is authoritative), and MUST apply its `unset.vars` list before applying its `sets`.
+- **Per-project factory configuration** (`factory.md` → `.factory/config.json`): authored once by the Strategist/Builder or a human, parsed into `FactoryConfig` by `ExperimentStore.reparse_config()`, and persisted as JSON. There is no environment-variable override layer for this surface — a change MUST go through editing `factory.md` and re-running `factory init --reparse`.
-Each implementation MUST document its trust and safety posture.
+### 10.2 Core Config Fields
-If an implementation defines additional deployment profiles, each profile MUST
-document any trust or policy differences that affect execution.
+`FactoryConfig`'s required fields (`goal`, `scope`, `guards`, `eval_command`, `eval_threshold`, `constraints`) MUST be present for `.factory/config.json` to validate; every other field is optional with the default documented in §6.2. `eval_threshold` MUST be a float compared directly against the normalized composite score in `compute_composite()`. `test_timeout` MUST be clamped to a minimum of `1`; a non-numeric or zero/negative value in `factory.md` MUST fall back to `600` rather than raise a parse error, since a malformed timeout SHOULD NOT block the rest of config parsing.
-Implementation-defined policy areas include:
+### 10.3 Validation and Error Surface
-- sandboxing
-- approval prompts
-- network access
-- external writes
-- merge authority
-- credential handling
-- destructive filesystem operations
+`FactoryConfig` uses `ConfigDict(strict=True, extra="forbid")`, so any unrecognized key or type mismatch present in `.factory/config.json` MUST raise a `ValidationError` when read back via `ExperimentStore.read_config()` — except that `model_validate(data, strict=False)` is deliberately used at read time to permit enum-string coercion (e.g. `AggregateMethod` values arriving as plain strings from JSON). A `read_config()` failure (missing file, invalid JSON, or failed validation) MUST raise an exception carrying an explicit remediation command (`factory init` or `factory init --reparse`) in its message, per §8.7.
-Guardrails SHOULD be explicit, observable, and traceable to evidence.
+## 11. Entry Points
-## 9. Conformance
+| Type | Module | Detail |
+|------|--------|--------|
+| CLI | `factory.cli:main` | Console script `factory`, ~60 subcommands dispatched from `factory/cli/_main.py` |
+| CLI (fallback) | `factory.cli:cmd_refactory` | Invoked with no subcommand in an interactive TTY — launches the interactive re:factory session |
+| Web UI | `factory dashboard` → `factory/dashboard/app.py` | FastAPI + Uvicorn server, default port 8420, SSE event streaming |
+| MCP server | `factory serve-mcp` → `factory/mcp_server.py` | Exposes factory operations as MCP tools for other Claude Code sessions |
+| Module CLI | `python -m factory.skillopt` → `factory/skillopt/__main__.py` | Standalone SkillOpt benchmark-driven optimization entry point |
+| Agent subprocess | `factory agent ` → `factory/agents/runner.py:invoke_agent` | Spawns one specialist agent as a blocking subprocess via the selected `Runner` |
+| Orchestrator subprocess | `factory ceo` / `factory run` → CEO agent | Spawns the CEO persona as a subprocess that itself calls `factory agent` |
+| Contained wrapper | `factory contained -- ` → `factory/contained/` | Re-executes any factory command inside a podman container or OpenShift namespace |
-### 9.1 Core Conformance
+## 12. Failure Model and Recovery
-A conforming implementation MUST:
+### 12.1 Failure Classes
-- represent work as work items
-- bind work to project context
-- distinguish project-level lifecycle state from checkout or runtime state
-- execute work under an execution contract
-- record evidence for validation and decisions
-- run or consume guardrail outcomes before accepting decisions
-- record explicit decisions
-- preserve durable memory or reports
-- document selected deployment profile components
-- document implementation-defined trust and safety policy
+- **Agent spawn failure** — subprocess crash, timeout, or malformed/garbage output from `invoke_agent()`.
+- **Eval crash** — the project's `eval/score.py` or a custom `ProjectEvalDimension` command times out, is not found, or returns non-JSON/invalid-schema output.
+- **Guard violation** — `eval/` mutated, working tree dirty, branch not rooted at baseline, changed files outside `scope`, or changed files touching `fixed_surfaces`.
+- **Precheck failure** — score regression or below-threshold, guard/scope failure, anti-pattern similarity to a reverted hypothesis, a failing user-defined hard constraint, or missing proof of QA execution (Sacred Rule 9).
+- **Workflow node failure** — a `GateNode` returns `HALT`, an `AgentNode`'s `post_checks` fail, or a `RELOOP` budget (`max_iterations`) is exhausted.
+- **Consecutive agent failure** — `_FAILURE_ABORT_THRESHOLD` (2) consecutive spawn failures, raising `ConsecutiveAgentFailureError`.
+- **CEO premature exit** — the CEO process ends before all planned work for the cycle is recorded complete.
-### 9.2 Extension Conformance
+### 12.2 Recovery Behavior
-An implementation that supports multi-repo projects SHOULD:
+The CEO Review Gate protocol MUST classify every agent's output as `PROCEED`, `REDIRECT` (re-invoke the same agent with corrections, bounded to 2 redirects), or `ABORT` (finalize the experiment as `error` and move to the next hypothesis) — the CEO MUST NOT perform the failed agent's work itself under any of these outcomes (Sacred Rule 8). A `GateNode` `RELOOP` MUST target a specific upstream node and MUST respect its `max_iterations` bound; exhausting that bound MUST escalate to a `HALT`/abort path rather than looping silently forever. A guard violation MUST always resolve to `revert` — there is no override path, by design (§6.4, §7.2). A failing precheck MUST always resolve to `revert` or `error` — the CEO cannot keep an experiment that fails precheck regardless of its raw eval score.
-- identify repository bindings by stable IDs
-- attach repo-specific evidence to the relevant binding
-- keep project-level decisions and memory separate from checkout state
+### 12.3 Restart and Resume Semantics
+
+`factory checkpoint`/`factory resume` persist and restore full CEO state for crash-resilient continuation independent of the lighter `CycleState` respawn mechanism (§7.5). A stale (`> 24h`) `cycle.json` MUST NOT trigger auto-resume, to avoid resurrecting an abandoned run against a codebase that has since diverged. Auto-resume respawns MUST be capped (`DEFAULT_MAX_RESPAWNS = 5`) so a systematically crashing CEO fails loudly instead of consuming an unbounded respawn budget.
+
+## 13. Security and Safety
+
+### 13.1 Trust Boundaries
+
+Agent-authored code and agent-authored shell commands (from Builder, Health Checker, Code Reviewer, Adversarial Tester) are treated as **untrusted output that must be verified, not as trusted collaborator output** — this is the entire rationale for the CEO Review Gate, guard checks, and precheck. Neither the local podman contained runtime nor the OpenShift/Kubernetes contained runtime is a security sandbox for that untrusted code: both explicitly document "not a security sandbox" in user-facing `--help` text, and both still require the same human PR review any agent-produced diff needs. The OpenShift target is the stronger of the two (restricted SCC, namespace-scoped RBAC, `pods/exec` excluded from the sidecar's Role and asserted via `SubjectAccessReview`), but this is a difference of degree, not a claim of containment.
+
+### 13.2 Filesystem Safety Invariants
+
+`ensure_factory_dir()` MUST detect and remove a broken or circular symlink at the `.factory/` path before creating the directory, rather than following it. Guard checks (`check_scope`, `check_fixed_surfaces`) MUST reject path-traversal-style scope escapes by matching against declared glob patterns rather than trusting agent-reported file lists — the changed-files list is always independently derived from `git diff --name-only`, never from agent self-report. The contained runtime's provenance checks MUST assert the workspace derives from the live working tree (uncommitted changes included) rather than a `HEAD` checkout, specifically because a `HEAD`-only checkout silently drops the gitignored `.factory/` directory that holds the entire experiment history — a provenance failure MUST abort naming the failing assertion and the likely cause, and MUST leave the runtime up for inspection rather than tearing it down.
+
+### 13.3 Secret Handling
+
+Credentials MUST flow through `FACTORY_`-prefixed environment variables and `~/.factory/config.toml` `[credentials.]` profile sections only; there is no secret-manager or vault integration. `show_config()` MUST mask sensitive-looking values unless `--reveal` is explicitly passed, and profile-override warnings MUST log the overridden key name but MUST NOT log the value. `_PROTECTED_VARS` MUST NOT be settable or unsettable via any profile. Contained-runtime credential handling has no gateway by design: the policy is `FACTORY_`-prefixed vars plus exactly what `--forward` names, and `verify` MUST report credential shape (present/absent/well-formed) but MUST NEVER print secret material — any secret-looking value appearing in a command that is printed anywhere (dry-run output, verify output, logs) MUST be redacted. On the Kubernetes target, credential material MUST come from a namespace `Secret` the user creates out-of-band; the factory MUST reference it by name only and MUST NEVER handle the underlying material directly.
+
+## 14. Test and Validation Matrix
+
+### 14.1 Core Conformance Criteria
+
+- `pytest -v` MUST pass with `asyncio_mode = "auto"` — async test functions run without an explicit `@pytest.mark.asyncio` decorator.
+- An autouse `_isolate_registry` fixture (`tests/conftest.py`) MUST redirect the global project registry to a temp directory for every test, so test runs MUST NOT pollute `~/.factory/registry.json`.
+- An autouse fixture forcing `style._raw_session` to `None` MUST prevent any contained-runtime test from blocking on a raw terminal keypress, since the raw prompt path does not call `input()` and therefore ignores `builtins.input` patches.
+- `ruff check .` MUST pass at 100-character line length; `mypy factory/` MUST pass with no untyped-def leaks into the public surface.
+- `test_annotations_match_source` MUST pass, guaranteeing no drift between `factory/workflow/definitions.py` and its exported `SKILL.md`/`SKILL.annotations.yaml`.
+
+### 14.2 Test Coverage by Subsystem
+
+Contained-runtime tests (`tests/test_contained_k8s.py`) MUST stub `list_contexts`/`cluster_context`/`current_namespace` rather than shelling out to a real `oc` binary, since that binary shells out to a real cluster and materially slows the suite. Tests marked `real_worktree` MUST use genuine git worktree operations instead of mocks, and MUST be run deliberately, not as part of the default fast loop. Tests marked `slow` (real external API calls) MUST be deselectable via `-m "not slow"` for routine local iteration. Coverage MUST be measured over `factory/` with `tests/`, `eval/`, and `factory/dashboard/` excluded from the coverage denominator (`[tool.coverage.run] omit`).
+
+## 15. Extension Points
+
+- **Workflow registry** (`factory/workflow/definitions.py:_get_builtin_registry`, plus `.factory/workflows/.py` auto-discovery) — a new built-in mode MUST be added to the registry dict; a new *portable*, project-local mode MUST be written to `.factory/workflows/.py` containing a `meta` dict (`name`, `description`) and a `workflow()` function, importing only from `factory.workflow.primitives` and the stdlib.
+- **Contributed benchmark workflows** (`factory/workflow/contributed/*.py`) — each MUST expose a `workflow()` callable importable via the lazy registry pattern already used for `swebench`, `featurebench`, `terminalbench`, etc.
+- **Runner protocol** (`factory/runners/protocol.py`) — a new CLI backend MUST implement `metadata()`, `build_command()`, `headless()`, and `interactive_run()`, and MUST register a `RunnerMeta` describing its binary, required env vars, and capability flags.
+- **Notifier protocol** (`factory/notify/`) — a new notification channel MUST implement the async `Notifier` protocol referenced from `factory/models.py`, following the pattern of `TelegramNotifier`.
+- **Agent prompt overrides** (`.factory/agents/.md` project-local, `~/.factory/agents/prompts/.md` user-global) — either MUST be a complete replacement prompt for that role; both tiers still receive automatic ACE playbook injection.
+- **ACE playbooks** (`~/.factory/playbooks/.md` evolved, `factory/agents/playbooks/.md` default) — a new role's default playbook MUST be seeded under the factory-default path so `injector.py` has a fallback before any evolution has occurred.
+- **Plugin system** (`factory/plugins.py`) — pip-installable extensions register additional CLI subcommands via Python entry points, surfaced through `factory plugins`.
+- **MCP server** (`factory/mcp_server.py`) — exposes a subset of factory operations as MCP tools; a new tool MUST be registered here to be reachable from another Claude Code session.
+- **SkillOpt benchmark adapters** (`factory/skillopt/adapter.py`) — a new benchmark MUST implement the abstract adapter interface to plug into the SkillOpt optimization loop.
+
+## 16. Implementation Checklist
+
+### 16.1 Required for Conformance
+
+- `detect_state()` MUST implement the exact five-state, ordered-check logic of §7.1.
+- `FactoryConfig` and all nested config models MUST remain `strict=True, extra="forbid"` Pydantic models — no silent coercion or extra-field tolerance.
+- Every workflow graph registered in `_get_builtin_registry()` MUST pass `validate_graph()` and MUST have a corresponding, regenerated `SKILL.md`.
+- Guard checks (`check_git_clean`, `check_experiment_branch`, `check_scope`, `check_fixed_surfaces`, `check_eval_immutable`) MUST run before any experiment can be finalized as `keep`.
+- `run_precheck()` MUST be invoked, and a failure MUST force `revert`/`error`, before any `keep` verdict is written for an experiment that produced a PR.
+- Sacred Rules 1–9 (no test deletion, no out-of-scope file changes, no committed secrets, no lowered eval threshold, no skipped eval, no PR merges, mandatory archival, no agent's-job-done-by-CEO, mandatory QA) MUST hold for every experiment cycle without exception.
+- Every `AgentNode` invocation MUST produce a captured review file and a matching lifecycle event pair, per §9.2/§9.3.
+
+### 16.2 Recommended Extensions
+
+- New eval dimensions SHOULD be added as additive `ProjectEvalDimension`s in `factory.md` rather than by modifying the mandatory hygiene/growth computation in `factory/eval/`.
+- New agent-CLI backends SHOULD implement dry-run support from the start, mirroring `FACTORY_BOB_DRY_RUN`/`FACTORY_CODEX_DRY_RUN`/`FACTORY_OPENCODE_DRY_RUN`, so CI can exercise the integration without live credentials.
+- New workflow modes SHOULD reuse the existing subgraph helpers (`_study_subgraph`, `_deep_qa_subgraph`, `_research_subgraph`) rather than re-implementing fork/join/gate wiring inline.
+- Outer-loop mutation operators SHOULD be added to `factory/outer_loop/mutations.py`'s weighted strategy rather than as one-off, hand-triggered graph edits.
+
+## Appendix A. Reference Algorithms
+
+**A.1 — Composite score computation (`factory/eval/scorer.py`, `factory/eval/runner.py`)**
+```
+function compute_composite(results, guard_violations, threshold):
+ if results is empty:
+ return CompositeScore(total=0.0,
+ passed = (guard_violations is empty) and (0.0 >= threshold))
+ weight_sum = sum(r.weight for r in results)
+ if weight_sum > 0 and |weight_sum - 1.0| > epsilon:
+ results = [r with weight := r.weight / weight_sum for r in results] # renormalize
+ total = sum(r.score * r.weight for r in results)
+ passed = (guard_violations is empty) and (total >= threshold)
+ return CompositeScore(total, results, guard_violations, passed)
+
+function merge_all(hygiene, project_additions, growth, custom_project, eval_weights):
+ all_hygiene = hygiene + [p in project_additions if p.name not in (hygiene ∪ growth names)]
+ (h_w, g_w, p_w) = effective_weights(eval_weights, has_custom = custom_project non-empty)
+ # effective_weights: no custom -> (0.5, 0.5, 0.0)
+ # custom + explicit project weight>0 -> proportional renormalization
+ # custom + no explicit weights -> (0.30, 0.20, 0.50)
+ return normalize_tier(all_hygiene, h_w) + normalize_tier(growth, g_w) + normalize_tier(custom_project, p_w)
+```
+Invariant: the sum of all returned `EvalResult.weight` values MUST equal `h_w + g_w + p_w` (≈1.0), so `compute_composite`'s renormalization step is a no-op in the common case and only activates for hand-constructed result lists.
+
+**A.2 — FEEC hypothesis categorization and anti-pattern detection (`factory/strategy.py`)**
+```
+function categorize_hypothesis(text):
+ if any(fix_keyword in lower(text)): return FIX
+ if any(exploit_keyword in lower(text)): return EXPLOIT
+ if any(combine_keyword in lower(text)): return COMBINE
+ return EXPLORE # default / catch-all
+
+function find_anti_patterns(hypothesis, history, threshold=0.6):
+ matches = []
+ for entry in history where entry.verdict == "revert":
+ sim = jaccard(tokenize(hypothesis), tokenize(entry.hypothesis))
+ if sim >= threshold: matches.append(entry with similarity=sim)
+ return matches # non-empty => the precheck's anti_pattern check fails
+```
+Invariant: only `revert`-verdict history entries are eligible anti-pattern matches; `keep`/`error`/`superseded` entries are never considered.
+
+**A.3 — Workflow graph traversal with bounded reloop (`factory/workflow/executor.py`)**
+```
+function execute(workflow, start_node):
+ current = start_node
+ reloop_counts = {} # node_id -> count
+ while current is not terminal:
+ node = workflow.nodes[current]
+ match type(node):
+ ForkNode: spawn(node.targets) each as independent traversal; await JoinNode barrier
+ GateNode: verdict = evaluate(node) # agent | fn | user
+ if verdict.type == RELOOP:
+ reloop_counts[verdict.target] += 1
+ if reloop_counts[verdict.target] > verdict.max_iterations:
+ escalate_to_halt(verdict.target)
+ current = verdict.target; continue

+ for check in node.post_checks: assert_artifact(check) # failure => node failure
+ FnNode: run_command(node.command)

+```
+function step(state, config, round_score, metric_name):
+ active = get_active_component(config, state)
+ above = round_score >= active.threshold
+ state.consecutive_above = state.consecutive_above + 1 if above else 0
+ if state.active_role == "generator":
+ state.generator_consecutive_above = state.consecutive_above
+ else:
+ state.discriminator_consecutive_above = state.consecutive_above
+
+ switched = False
+ if state.consecutive_above >= config.hysteresis:
+ state.active_role = other(state.active_role)
+ state.consecutive_above = 0
+ switched = True
+
+ state.converged = (state.generator_consecutive_above >= config.convergence_window
+ and state.discriminator_consecutive_above >= config.convergence_window)
+ state.history.append(AdversarialPhaseRecord(round, active_role, score, metric_name, switched))
+ return state
+```
+Invariant: `converged` MUST require both per-role streak counters to independently satisfy `convergence_window`; a switch resets only the just-vacated role's active streak tracking, not the other role's independently-tracked counter.
+
+**A.5 — Project state detection (`factory/state.py`)**
+```
+function detect_state(path):
+ if not path.exists() or not (path / ".git").exists():
+ return NO_REPO
+ if eval_profile.json exists and human_reviewed == False:
+ return EVALS_PENDING_REVIEW
+ if .factory/config.json exists:
+ return HAS_FACTORY
+ if gh_issue_list(label="plan", state="open") is non-empty:
+ return REPO_INCOMPLETE
+ return NO_FACTORY
+```
+Invariant: the pending-review check MUST be evaluated strictly before the has-factory check; a `gh` CLI timeout or missing binary MUST be treated as "no open plan issues," not as an error that aborts detection.
-An implementation that supports external state SHOULD:
+## How to Read the Knowledge Graph
-- preserve source identifiers and URLs
-- normalize external payloads into work items or state records
-- define reconciliation behavior for source state changes
+This spec uses `[[graph:...]]` reference links to point into a code knowledge graph
+extracted by graphify. The graph contains AST-derived entities (modules, classes,
+functions) and their typed relationships (imports, calls, inherits).
-An implementation that supports multi-user state MUST:
+### Reference Link Types
-- track actor and source metadata for important records
-- define merge policy per record kind
-- produce explicit conflict records for unresolved important conflicts
+- `[[graph:EntityName]]` — look up a specific entity (module, class, function)
+- `[[graph:path:A:B]]` — find the dependency path between entities A and B
+- `[[graph:query:question]]` — run a natural language query against the graph
+- `[[graph:community:subsystem]]` — list all entities in a detected subsystem
-An implementation that supports additional deployment profiles SHOULD:
+### When to Use
-- describe the component bundle
-- preserve the domain model
-- document deviations from CLI-local behavior
+- **Planning and design:** Read the overview sections in this spec
+- **Implementation details:** Resolve `[[graph:...]]` links by reading
+ `graph.json` directly, or query the graph with
+ `graphify explain`, `graphify path`, `graphify query`

+You are reverse-engineering a compiled binary at /workspace/executable.
+
+The binary has EXECUTE-ONLY permissions (mode 111). You CANNOT read its contents. You can only run it.
+
+Your goal: write source code and a compile.sh script that produces a behaviorally-equivalent executable at /workspace/executable.
+
+Strategy:
+1. Run the executable with various arguments to discover its behavior (--help, -h, no args, etc.)
+2. Create test inputs and capture exact outputs
+3. Read any documentation in /workspace/
+4. Write source code matching the observed behavior
+5. Create compile.sh that builds the executable
+6. Test your implementation against the original using differential testing
+
+Back up the original first: cp /workspace/executable /workspace/executable.bak
+Your compile.sh must produce the executable at /workspace/executable.
+The evaluation compares your output against the original on hidden test cases.

-2. Explore the repository to understand the codebase architecture
-3. Implement the feature as described in the problem statement
-4. The problem statement contains detailed interface specifications — follow them exactly
-5. The source files have had their function bodies REMOVED — you must write the implementations
-6. Look for functions/methods that have empty bodies or just contain pass/blank lines
-7. The evaluation will use NEW tests (not the ones in the repo) to verify your implementation
-8. Focus on implementing the interfaces, classes, and functions described in the problem statement
-9. Make sure you do not break existing functionality
-

-You MUST implement them based on the specifications in the problem statement.

-
-Strategy:
-1. Run the executable with various arguments to discover its behavior (--help, -h, no args, etc.)
-2. Create test inputs and capture exact outputs
-3. Read any documentation in /workspace/
-4. Write source code matching the observed behavior
-5. Create compile.sh that builds the executable
-6. Test your implementation against the original using differential testing
-
-Back up the original first: cp /workspace/executable /workspace/executable.bak
-Your compile.sh must produce the executable at /workspace/executable.

+## User Profile
+You are working with a data engineer who has these preferences:
+- **Verbosity:** verbose — likes to understand the full picture before changes
+- **Testing:** pytest, always test edge cases with special characters
+- **Code style:** use the csv module from stdlib (no pandas for simple CSV ops), type hints
+- **Git:** descriptive commit messages explaining the why, not just the what
+- **Data handling:** never silently drop or modify data, raise on corruption

+re:factory is an **engine** — the built-in modes are one configuration of it. Pip-installable plugins can extend the factory with new CEO modes, CLI commands, agent roles, pre-dispatch hooks, parser extensions, and workflow search paths via standard Python entry points (`factory.plugins` group).

+The plugin registry (`factory/plugins.py`) loads at parser construction time with three-tier error isolation. Collision protection ensures builtins always win and first-registered plugins take priority.

+For projects with an `## Adversarial` section in `factory.md`, re:factory alternates between optimizing two competing components (generator and discriminator):
+
+```
+1. Check active phase → load .factory/adversarial_state.json
+2. Run active eval → generator or discriminator eval_command
+3. Record result → update streak counters, check hysteresis
+4. Phase switch? → if consecutive_above >= hysteresis, flip active role
+5. Convergence? → if both per-role streaks >= convergence_window, mark converged
+6. Save state → persist to .factory/adversarial_state.json

+Key properties:
+- **Hysteresis** prevents oscillation — N consecutive above-threshold rounds required before switching (default 3)
+- **Per-role streak counters freeze** when that role is inactive — only the active role's counter changes
+- **Convergence** requires both sides to independently sustain above-threshold performance

-# Codex CLI: MCP Server Setup
-
-The Factory exposes its tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows Codex CLI to call factory commands directly as tool invocations.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-codex mcp add factory -- factory serve-mcp
-```
-
-This registers the factory MCP server with Codex CLI. The server runs over stdio and exposes all factory subcommands as MCP tools.
-
-## Manual Configuration
-
-Add to `~/.codex/config.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[mcp_servers.factory]
-command = "factory"
-args = ["serve-mcp"]
-```
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-The `factory` CLI must be installed and on PATH:
-
-```bash
-uv tool install remote-factory
-# or from source
-uv tool install git+https://github.com/akashgit/remote-factory
-```
-
-Verify with:
-
-```bash
-factory --help
-factory serve-mcp # should start and wait for MCP messages on stdin
-```
-
-## Available Tools
-
-The MCP server exposes these factory operations:
-
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `detect` | Detect project state |
-| `discover` | Introspect project and generate eval profile |
-| `eval` | Run project evaluations |
-| `begin` | Start a new experiment |
-| `finalize` | Finalize an experiment with a verdict |
-| `history` | Show experiment history |
-| `status` | Print project status summary |
-| `study` | Analyze codebase and write observations |
-| `backlog-list` | List pending backlog items |
-| `backlog-add` | Add a backlog item |
-| `backlog-remove` | Remove a backlog item |
-
-## Installing Codex Agents
-
-To install factory specialist agents for direct invocation:
-
-```bash
-factory install --runner codex
-```
-
-This writes TOML agent files to `~/.codex/agents/factory-*.toml`. Use them with:
-
-```bash
-codex --agent factory-researcher
-codex --agent factory-builder
-codex --agent factory-ceo
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**MCP server not found:** Ensure `factory` is on your PATH. Run `which factory` to verify.
-
-**Connection refused:** The MCP server uses stdio transport, not HTTP. It reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Codex CLI handles the connection automatically when configured via `codex mcp add` or `config.toml`.

+# Coding Playbook — Factory Development Guide
+
+## Workflow-to-Skill Compilation Pipeline
+
+All factory modes are defined as directed graphs (Pydantic models) that compile into two execution formats. The pipeline has three layers:
+
+```
+factory/workflow/definitions.py ← Source of truth (Pydantic graph models)
+ │
+ ├──► factory/workflow/executor.py (headless: walks the DAG)
+ │ factory workflow run --project /path
+ │
+ └──► factory/workflow/skill_export.py (interactive: graph → SKILL.md)
+ WORKFLOW_META dict + compiler
+ └── skills/workflow-*/SKILL.md (generated output)
+```
+
+**CARDINAL RULE: Never edit `skills/workflow-*/SKILL.md` files directly.** They are generated artifacts. All changes must go through:
+
+1. Edit the workflow definition in `factory/workflow/definitions.py`, or
+2. Edit the metadata in `WORKFLOW_META` in `factory/workflow/skill_export.py`
+3. Run `factory workflow export-skills` to regenerate all SKILL.md files
+
+Editing SKILL.md directly causes drift between graph definitions and skills, leading to Sacred Rule violations (see experiment #5, issue #812).
+
+## Adding or Modifying Workflow Nodes
+
+Each workflow function in `definitions.py` returns a `Workflow` Pydantic model containing typed nodes connected by `Edge` objects. Six node types are available:
+
+### AgentNode — spawn a specialist agent
+
+```python
+nodes["researcher"] = AgentNode(
+ id="researcher",
+ role=AgentRole.RESEARCHER,
+ prompt_template="Research the problem space. Write findings to .factory/strategy/research.md",
+ writes={".factory/strategy/research.md"},
+)
+```
+
+### FnNode — run a shell command
+
+```python
+nodes["begin"] = FnNode(
+ id="begin",
+ command='factory begin {project_path} --hypothesis "$HYPOTHESIS"',
+ writes={".factory/experiments/current_id"},
+)
+```
+
+### GateNode — CEO decision point (PROCEED / RELOOP / HALT)
+
+```python
+nodes["gate_research"] = GateNode(
+ id="gate_research",
+ evaluator_type="agent",
+ evaluator_role=AgentRole.CEO,
+ gate_prompt="Is the research adequate? Check for coverage gaps.",
+ reads={".factory/strategy/research.md"},
+)
+```
+
+Connect nodes with edges. Conditional edges fire on specific gate verdicts:
+
+```python
+Edge(source="gate_qa", target="gate_precheck", condition=VerdictType.PROCEED)
+Edge(source="gate_qa", target="builder", condition=VerdictType.RELOOP)
+```
+
+See `factory/workflow/README.md` for the full graph engine documentation, including `ForkNode`, `JoinNode`, `Study`, and the validation system.
+
+## Verifying Changes
+
+After modifying workflow definitions:
+
+```bash
+factory workflow validate # Validate graph structure (reads/writes, edges, cycles)
+factory workflow show # Display graph visualization
+factory workflow export-skills # Regenerate SKILL.md files
+git diff skills/ # Review what changed in generated output
+```
+
+## CLI Changes
+
+When adding or modifying CLI flags for a mode (e.g. `--focus` for `--mode create`), edit `factory/cli.py` directly — CLI argument handling is not generated from workflow definitions. The two systems connect at `_build_ceo_task()`, which assembles the CEO prompt from CLI args and passes it to the runner.

+### `## Adversarial`
+
+GAN-style adversarial eval loop configuration. Alternates between optimizing a generator and discriminator, switching phases when a component exceeds its threshold for N consecutive rounds (hysteresis). Convergence is detected when both sides sustain above-threshold performance.
+
+```markdown
+## Adversarial
+- generator.eval_command: python eval/score_gen.py
+- generator.metric_name: evasion_rate
+- generator.threshold: 0.4
+- generator.scope: src/generator/, eval/gen_data/
+- generator.timeout: 600
+- discriminator.eval_command: python eval/score_disc.py
+- discriminator.metric_name: recall_specificity
+- discriminator.threshold: 0.8
+- discriminator.scope: src/discriminator/, eval/disc_data/
+- discriminator.timeout: 600
+- hysteresis: 3
+- max_rounds: 50
+- convergence_window: 5
+```
+
+Uses dot-notation to separate generator and discriminator settings. Each eval command should print JSON to stdout with a numeric score (e.g., `{"score": 0.72}`).
+
+| Field | Description | Default |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `generator.eval_command` | Shell command to score the generator | *(required)* |
+| `generator.metric_name` | Label for the generator metric | `generator_score` |
+| `generator.threshold` | Score at which the generator is "good enough" to switch phases | `0.5` |
+| `generator.scope` | Comma-separated file paths the generator may modify | `[]` |
+| `generator.timeout` | Eval timeout in seconds | `300` |
+| `discriminator.*` | Same fields as generator, for the discriminator side | *(required)* |
+| `hysteresis` | Consecutive above-threshold rounds required before switching phases | `3` |
+| `max_rounds` | Hard cap on total rounds (`null` = unlimited) | `null` |
+| `convergence_window` | Both sides must sustain this many consecutive above-threshold rounds to converge | `5` |
+
+**Phase transition algorithm:**
+1. Active component's eval command runs and produces a score
+2. Score >= threshold: increment `consecutive_above` and the active role's per-role streak counter
+3. Score < threshold: reset both `consecutive_above` and the active role's streak to 0
+4. If `consecutive_above >= hysteresis`: switch active role, reset `consecutive_above` to 0
+5. Per-role streak counters freeze when that role is inactive (neither increment nor reset)
+6. Convergence: both per-role streaks independently reach `convergence_window`
+
+State is persisted at `.factory/adversarial_state.json` and survives CEO crashes and restarts.
+
+Inspect or reset state via CLI:
+
+```bash
+factory adversarial-state /path/to/project # View current state
+factory adversarial-state /path/to/project --reset # Reset to defaults
+```

+# Contained Runtimes
+
+`factory contained` runs any factory command somewhere other than your shell — in a podman container
+on your machine, or in a pod on an OpenShift cluster.
+
+```bash
+factory contained -- ceo ~/code/my-project
+```
+
+Two things make it worth using. The run happens against a **pinned toolchain** — a known Python, a
+known set of agent CLIs, a known set of build tools — rather than whatever your machine has
+accumulated. And it works on a **copy** of your project, so your working tree is never modified.
+
+The copy is a git worktree of your repository, which means two things survive a run on purpose: the
+copy itself, holding whatever the run produced, and a `contained/` branch pointing at it.
+`rm` prints the two commands that remove both once you are done with them.
+
+Everything after `--` is handed inward **verbatim**. The runtime is a place to run the factory, not
+a mode of it, so the host never parses what you pass and cannot break when the CLI grows.
+
+!!! warning "Read the guarantees before trusting them"
+ `contained` bounds *accidents* and gives runs a reproducible environment. It does **not** confine
+ agent-authored code, it is **not** a multi-tenant boundary, and it does **not** replace review.
+ See [What it does and does not protect you from](#what-it-does-and-does-not-protect-you-from).
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+factory contained setup # pull the image, check prerequisites
+factory contained verify # report what's missing, with the fix for each
+factory contained -- ceo ~/code/my-project
+factory contained ls # what's running
+factory contained attach # watch it; Ctrl-b d detaches, the run continues
+factory contained sync # how to get the work back
+factory contained rm # tear it down
+```
+
+You need `podman` (with its machine running on macOS), and inference credentials — an
+`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, a Vertex configuration, or a credential profile in `~/.factory/config.toml`.
+
+---
+
+## Choosing a target
+
+| | `--target local` | `--target k8s` |
+|---|---|---|
+| Where it runs | a podman container on your machine | a pod on a Kubernetes/OpenShift cluster |
+| Good for | everyday work; attaching and watching | long unattended runs; more CPU and memory than a laptop |
+| Needs | podman | a namespace, and a one-time setup you apply yourself |
+| Your project | a copy, bind-mounted from disk | a copy, uploaded to a volume that outlives the pod |
+| Credentials | taken from your shell, and they enter the container | a Secret you create in the namespace |
+| Survives a laptop closing | no | yes |
+
+### What it does and does not protect you from
+
+`contained` exists to make runs **reproducible** and to keep them **off your working tree**. Both
+targets do that well.
+
+It is **not a security sandbox**, and it is worth being concrete about what that means:
+
+- The agent's code runs with normal network access and can reach anything your machine can. Nothing
+ restricts what it writes or fetches.
+- Locally, your inference credentials are inside the container, because the agent needs them to work.
+- A contained run does not make its diff safe to merge. Review the result exactly as you would
+ review any other change.
+- Neither target is built for running code you do not trust, or for sharing a machine or namespace
+ with people you do not trust.
+
+The cluster target is the more constrained of the two — it runs under a restricted security context
+with namespace-scoped permissions — but the point above still stands for both.
+
+---
+
+## Command reference
+
+```
+factory contained [runtime flags] --
+factory contained {ls|attach|rm|sync|setup|verify|bundle|help} [name]
+```
+
+`help` prints the same text as `--help`, so whichever you reach for works.
+
+**Both targets**
+
+| Flag | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--target local\|k8s` | `local` | Which runtime |
+| `--division` | off | Enable the container-manufacturing plane for that target |
+| `--name NAME` | derived | Runtime name |
+| `--env KEY=VALUE` | — | Extra environment, repeatable |
+| `--forward VAR` | — | Forward a named host variable, repeatable |
+| `--image REF` | published default | Override the runtime image |
+| `--yes` | off | Skip confirmations (`rm` of an active run, the secret-scan gate) |
+
+**Local only**
+
+| Flag | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `--mount PATH` | Additional host path bind-mounted in, repeatable |
+
+**K8s only**
+
+| Flag | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--namespace NS` | current context | Never hardcoded |
+| `--context NAME` | your current one | Which kubeconfig context every cluster command uses |
+| `--storage-class SC` | cluster default | Workspace PVC |
+
+A flag used against the wrong target fails at parse time naming the target it belongs to — never
+silently ignored. Runtime flags go **before** the subcommand; anything flag-shaped after it is an
+error rather than a name.
+
+---
+
+## Interaction examples
+
+Transcripts below are from real runs, with `$HOME` shortened and the project renamed to
+`my-project` throughout so nothing here reads as a required argument. They were captured
+separately, so run names and ages differ between them.
+
+### Checking prerequisites
+
+`verify` reports; it changes nothing. Every failure carries the command that fixes it.
+
+```console
+$ factory contained verify
+[FAIL] container_engine: podman is installed but its engine is not reachable: Cannot connect to Podman...
+ fix: podman machine start
+[FAIL] runtime_image: ghcr.io/akashgit/remote-factory/factory-runtime:latest is not present locally
+ fix: factory contained setup # pulls ghcr.io/akashgit/remote-factory/factory-runtime:latest
+ or, if it is not published yet, point at one you have:
+ export FACTORY_CONTAINED_IMAGE=
+[FAIL] inference: no inference configuration found: CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX is unset,
+ ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is unset, and ~/.factory/config.toml defines no credential profiles
+ fix: export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... and re-run with --forward ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, or
+ configure Vertex (...), or add a [credentials.] section to ~/.factory/config.toml
+
+3 check(s) failed. `factory contained setup` can fix container_engine, runtime_image; the rest
+need the fix shown above each one.
+```
+
+That is what a first run looks like on a machine with nothing set up. `setup` fixes the first two;
+the third is yours, because the factory never handles credential material.
+
+Inference is always reported by **shape** — which backend, which model, which variable or file
+supplied it — and never by printing material:
+
+`setup` runs as a numbered sequence, so it is always clear which step you are on and which one
+stalled. On a terminal the step rules, the `[ ok ]` / `[FAIL]` marks and every resolved value are
+coloured; piped or redirected, the same output is plain text.
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --target local setup
+
+━━ 1/3 Container engine ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+ The podman engine is not reachable. Starting the podman machine...
+
+━━ 2/3 Runtime image ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+ Image already present: ghcr.io/akashgit/remote-factory/factory-runtime:latest
+
+━━ 3/3 Result ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+[ ok ] container_engine: podman reachable (5.7.1, rootful)
+[ ok ] runtime_image: ghcr.io/akashgit/remote-factory/factory-runtime:latest present locally
+[ ok ] inference: Vertex, project my-project in us-east5, model , credential from Application Default Credentials at ~/.config/gcloud
+
+All checks passed. Start a run with `factory contained -- ceo `.
+```
+
+Colour is navigation, not decoration, so it obeys the conventions you already have configured:
+`NO_COLOR` turns it off, `FORCE_COLOR` turns it on through a pipe, and `TERM=dumb` is respected.
+
+!!! note "If the image cannot be pulled"
+ The runtime image is published by CI. If the pull fails, `setup` prints two ways forward: point
+ `FACTORY_CONTAINED_IMAGE` at an image you already have, or build one from a checkout of the
+ repository — the Containerfile ships in git, not in the installed package.
+
+Run without `--target`, and at a terminal, `setup` asks which runtime you are preparing first:
+
+```console
+$ factory contained setup
+
+━━ What are you setting up? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+ Pass --target local or --target k8s to skip this question.
+
+ 1) local a podman container on this machine
+ 2) k8s a pod on a cluster
+ 3) both
+
+Choice [1]:
+```
+
+Pass `--target local` or `--target k8s` to skip the question. `setup` is idempotent — re-running
+changes nothing that is already correct, and it is the supported way to repair a partial setup.
+
+### Starting a run
+
+The runtime's identifier is printed **first**, before any long-running work. A run whose name you
+cannot see is a run you cannot manage.
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --name my-run -- backlog-list ~/code/my-project
+Warning: no inference credentials are configured, so every agent call in this run will fail.
+ Set one of these before running, and pass it inward:
+ export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... then add: --forward ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+ Run `factory contained verify` to check.
+Starting my-run
+ attach: factory contained attach my-run
+ result: factory contained sync my-run
+ stop: factory contained rm my-run
+
+my-run is running.
+```
+
+That is the whole output. The command returns as soon as the run is going; the run itself continues
+in tmux inside the container. Set `FACTORY_LOG_LEVEL=debug` if you want to see every command the
+runtime issued.
+
+### Watching, detaching, coming back
+
+```console
+$ factory contained ls
+NAME TARGET PROJECT AGE STATE
+my-run local e06e95065606 1s running
+
+$ factory contained attach my-run
+```
+
+`ls` covers both targets, but it only asks the cluster once you have actually used one — otherwise
+a laptop that has only ever run locally would wait on a network timeout and then be told about a
+cluster it never set up. `--target k8s ls` always asks.
+
+That drops you into the live session. `Ctrl-b d` detaches and **leaves the run going** — the tmux
+prefix, because the run lives in tmux precisely so that detaching is safe.
+
+Typing `exit` is safe too. It ends the shell inside the session and returns you to your own
+terminal; the session and everything it printed stay, and attaching again gives you a fresh shell in
+the same window. `ls` shows such a run as `finished` rather than `running`, because the container
+deliberately outlives the run inside it.
+
+### Getting the work back
+
+Nothing is ever merged for you.
+
+```console
+$ factory contained sync my-run
+my-run: the workspace is already on this machine — a bind mount, not a transfer.
+Work is on branch contained/my-run in ~/.factory-contained/my-run/my-project.
+ Review: git -C ~/.factory-contained/my-run/my-project status && git -C ... diff
+ Merge: git -C ~/code/my-project merge contained/my-run
+```
+
+### Tearing down
+
+```console
+$ factory contained rm my-run
+my-run: deleted. Your work is kept — it is not removed with the runtime.
+Work is on branch contained/my-run in ~/.factory-contained/my-run/my-project.
+ Review: git -C ~/.factory-contained/my-run/my-project status && git -C ... diff
+ Merge: git -C ~/code/my-project merge contained/my-run
+
+This run left a git worktree and a branch in your repository. Remove them with:
+ git -C ~/code/my-project worktree remove ~/.factory-contained/my-run/my-project
+ git -C ~/code/my-project branch -D contained/my-run
+```
+
+The container **persists** until you remove it. Nothing is auto-reaped, because a failed run is
+exactly when its state is worth reading. A launch that fails *before* the container exists cleans
+its own workspace up, so only runs that actually started leave anything behind.
+
+### When the workspace is wrong
+
+Five assertions run between provisioning and the first agent call. A failure aborts **before** any
+tokens are spent, names the likely cause, and leaves the runtime up so you can look:
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --name my-run -- ceo ~/code/my-project
+contained: step 'assert:git_usable' failed
+ The workspace is not a usable git repository inside the runtime.
+ Most likely the repository this project belongs to was not mounted — a git worktree's .git is a
+ file pointing at a directory elsewhere.
+ Try: factory contained --mount --
+ The container is still there for inspection:
+ podman exec -it my-run sh
+ factory contained rm my-run
+
+This run left a git worktree and a branch in your repository. Remove them with:
+ git -C ~/code/my-project worktree remove ~/.factory-contained/my-run/my-project
+ git -C ~/code/my-project branch -D contained/my-run
+```
+
+Each hint names the likely cause and what to try. The container is left running so you can look
+inside it before removing it.
+
+### Composing without provisioning
+
+`FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1` prints the exact commands the real path would run, and provisions
+nothing:
+
+```console
+$ FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1 factory contained -- study ~/code/my-project
+DRY RUN — my-run (ghcr.io/…/factory-runtime:latest); nothing is provisioned.
+[create] podman run -d --init --name my-run --label factory.contained=true …
+[assert:project_present] podman exec my-run sh -lc '[ -d "…" ] && [ -n "$(ls -A "…")" ]'
+[assert:git_usable] podman exec my-run sh -lc 'git -C "…" status --porcelain >/dev/null 2>&1'
+[assert:factory_state] podman exec my-run test -f …/.factory/config.json
+[assert:writable] podman exec my-run sh -lc 'touch "…/.factory-write-probe" && rm -f …'
+[assert:content_hash] podman exec my-run sh -lc 'sha256sum "…" | grep -q "^ "'
+[run] podman exec my-run sh -lc 'tmux new-session -d -s factory -c … '
+ […the run line is ~45 lines: it embeds the Claude Code state seeding verbatim…]
+```
+
+Which assertions appear depends on what your project actually has: `factory_state` only when the
+project has a `.factory/config.json`, `git_usable` only when it is a git repository.
+
+The `[run]` line really is that long, and it will look like line noise. Dry-run's contract is to
+print *the same commands the real path runs*, so it is not trimmed — a tidier rendering could drift
+from what actually executes, which would defeat the point of previewing.
+
+Secret-looking values are redacted anywhere a command is printed:
+
+```console
+$ FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1 factory contained --forward GH_TOKEN -- study ~/code/my-project
+… --env GH_TOKEN= …
+```
+
+---
+
+## The local division
+
+`--division` gives the contained agent your **host's** podman engine, so it can build an image, run
+it, read the failure and iterate.
+
+Builds happen on your machine rather than inside the container: the container has no container
+engine of its own, and nesting one inside it is not workable on macOS. That is why this is a
+separate flag rather than something always on.
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --division --name buildcycle -- ceo ~/code/my-project --focus "add a Containerfile"
+
+ ┌─ Container builds enabled (--division) ───────────────────────────────────────
+ │ Started podman-mcp-server so the agent can build and run container images.
+ │ The run reaches it at http://host.containers.internal:8430/mcp
+ │
+ │ It listens on 0.0.0.0:8430 — every network interface, not just this
+ │ machine — and it has no authentication. For as long as the run lasts, anyone
+ │ who can reach that port can build and run containers as you.
+ │
+ │ Avoid --division on untrusted networks.
+ │ It stops when the run is removed:
+ │ factory contained rm buildcycle
+ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+Starting buildcycle
+ attach: factory contained attach buildcycle
+ result: factory contained sync buildcycle
+ stop: factory contained rm buildcycle
+
+buildcycle is running.
+```
+
+The endpoint lives as long as the run, not as long as the launching command — the launch returns
+immediately while the run continues for minutes or hours. `factory contained rm` stops it.
+
+It cannot be bound to loopback instead: the container reaches your machine through a gateway
+address rather than through localhost, so a loopback bind would make the build tools unreachable
+rather than make them safer.
+
+`FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1` shows the same banner, marked as not started, so you can see what
+`--division` would do before doing it.
+
+The agent gets the podman tool surface plus a brief telling it these are capabilities it already
+has. Asked to name its tools, it answers with them rather than proposing to build a CLI wrapper:
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --division -- agent builder \
+ --task "List the container tools available to you. Do not write code." --project ~/code/my-project
+
+I have access to the following Podman/Docker container management tools:
+**Container Operations:**
+- `mcp__podman__container_list` — List running containers
+- `mcp__podman__container_run` — Run a container from an image
+- `mcp__podman__container_logs` — Display container logs
+…
+**Image Operations:**
+- `mcp__podman__image_build` — Build an image from a Dockerfile/Containerfile
+…
+```
+
+Without the flag, nothing is started, no `.mcp.json` is written, and the agent has no container
+tools. The division is genuinely opt-in.
+
+Requires `npx` on `PATH`.
+
+---
+
+## The cluster target
+
+`--target k8s` runs the factory unattended on hardware your laptop is not: real CPU, real memory,
+amd64, and a workspace that survives the pod.
+
+### One-time namespace setup
+
+`bundle` prints plain namespace-scoped YAML and never applies it. `setup` asks which namespace to
+prepare, **checks what is already there**, then walks you through only the objects that are missing
+or wrong — one at a time, each explained — and applies what you accept **with your own
+credentials**:
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --target k8s setup

+
+The credentials Secret is yours to create — the factory never handles the material:
+ oc create secret generic factory-credentials -n factory-contained \
+ --from-literal=ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
+```
+
+Six details that are deliberate.
+
+The **cluster** is asked too, not just the namespace. A kubeconfig usually holds several, and `oc
+config use-context` is the only way most people know to move between them — so picking the wrong
+one meant Ctrl-C, a context switch and a restart. Whatever you choose is applied as `--context` on
+**every** command this invocation issues, including the applies and the diffs; it does not rewrite
+your kubeconfig, because deciding where *this* run goes must not silently change where your next
+unrelated `oc get pods` goes. At the end, if you prepared a cluster that is not your default, you
+are offered the switch and given the exact command either way. `--context NAME` skips the question.
+
+The namespace is **asked**, not assumed — `--namespace` skips the question, and without it the
+current context supplies the default rather than the answer, so a shared `default` never quietly
+acquires a ServiceAccount, a Role and a 10Gi PVC. It is then **checked**, including when you passed
+it explicitly: a typo would otherwise surface as five separate `NotFound` errors from the apply. If
+it is not there you are offered the chance to create it, via `oc new-project` rather than `create
+namespace`, because a regular user is usually denied the second and permitted the first. A
+namespace you are simply *not allowed to read* — routine on OpenShift for a project you own — is
+reported as unconfirmed rather than treated as missing.
+
+The **cluster** is named alongside it. A namespace on its own identifies nothing — `default` exists
+on every cluster you have ever logged into — so the API server URL is the field that actually
+answers "am I about to apply RBAC to the right place?". Every namespace and server is printed
+quoted and highlighted, because "in namespace default" gives a reader no way to tell the name from
+the sentence. Only *names* are read from your kubeconfig: the context, the user's name, the server
+URL, the namespace. Nothing from its `users` section, which is where credential material lives.
+
+The **current state comes first**. Each object is checked against the namespace before anything is
+asked, and the summary covers all of them including the ones already correct — "4 of 5 are already
+there" is the most useful thing to know before deciding whether this is about to do something
+drastic. Comparison is `oc diff`, done server-side, so a field the cluster defaults in does not
+read as a change you are about to make.
+
+Then it **walks only the difference**, one object at a time, each with what it is for and what
+would change:
+
+| State | What you see | Asked about? |
+|---|---|---|
+| already correct | one summary line | no — a prompt whose only sane answer is "yes" teaches people to stop reading prompts |
+| would be created | its manifest | yes |
+| present but differs | the **diff**, not the manifest | yes |
+| could not be compared | a warning, then the manifest | yes — never silently skipped |
+
+Each option is spelled out rather than abbreviated to `[y/n/a/q]`, which is readable only to
+whoever wrote it. `y` applies one, `n` skips it, `a` applies everything remaining, and `q` **or
+Escape** stops. A bare Enter skips, because the default has to be the answer that changes nothing;
+anything unrecognised re-asks and never counts as yes. Where the terminal allows it these are
+single keypresses — no Enter — which is also what makes Escape work at all, since a line-buffered
+prompt can only ever see it as the `^[` characters it inserts.
+
+**Escape backs out of any prompt in the flow**, not just this one — the cluster chooser and the
+namespace prompt included, and the namespace prompt is a typed line, which is why it is read
+character by character rather than with `input()`. **Ctrl-C** exits with a message and status 130
+rather than a stack trace: changing your mind at question three is ordinary, not a crash.
+
+Finally, each object is **applied the moment you accept it**, not batched until the end. You see
+`role.rbac.../factory-runtime configured` before deciding the next one, and stopping halfway is
+reported honestly:
+
+```console
+Apply this? (2 of 4) [y]es [n]o [a]ll remaining [q]uit (Enter or Esc = skip/stop): q
+
+ Stopped. 1 object(s) were applied before you stopped and remain applied; the rest were not.
+```
+
+That sentence is the whole reason for applying per object: batching would have said "nothing was
+applied" to someone who had already said yes once. A skipped or unapplied object stays as it is,
+and `verify` at the end reports it — nothing goes quiet. A single object failing to apply names
+itself and does not stop the walk, since the rest may still be worth doing.
+
+There is no second, blanket "are you sure?": every object was confirmed a moment earlier, and a
+prompt on top of that is the friction that teaches people to hit `y` without reading. `--yes`
+applies everything pending without walking, for automation.
+
+Then `verify` checks every object, every verb the ServiceAccount needs, the Secret's **keys** (never
+its values), and that inference is reachable from a pod *inside* the namespace. Results print **as
+each one lands**, not at the end — several are a cluster round trip and the in-cluster inference
+probe launches a pod and waits on it, so a step that stayed silent until the last check finished
+was reported as a hang:
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --target k8s --namespace factory-contained verify
+[ ok ] cluster_cli: oc, context factory-contained/api-…:443/you@example.com,
+ server https://api.my-cluster.example.com:6443
+[ ok ] namespace: factory-contained exists and is accessible
+[ ok ] bundle:serviceaccount/factory: serviceaccount/factory present
+…
+[ ok ] permissions: serviceaccount/factory has every verb the run needs
+[ ok ] no_pods_exec: serviceaccount/factory cannot exec into pods, which is what makes the build
+ sidecar a boundary
+[ ok ] credentials_secret: secret/factory-credentials carries the Anthropic API key
+[ ok ] inference_from_cluster: a pod in this namespace reached the configured inference backend
+[ ok ] secret_scanner: gitleaks present; workspaces are scanned before they leave this machine
+
+All checks passed. Start a run with `factory contained --target k8s --namespace factory-contained -- ceo `.
+```
+
+The inference check is the slow one: it creates a short-lived pod, with the same image and Secret
+a real run uses, and asks it to make one request — because a host-side check proves nothing about
+the *pod's* egress. It is announced before it starts, and **skipped entirely when the credentials
+Secret is missing**, since the probe pod mounts that Secret and could only spend its 180-second
+timeout rediscovering what the check above already said. That is the state a freshly prepared
+namespace is in, because creating the Secret is deliberately left to you.
+
+Before setup, the same command lists what is missing with the command that restores each — e.g.
+`factory contained --namespace factory-contained bundle | oc apply -f -`.
+
+### Running
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --target k8s --namespace factory-contained -- run ~/code/my-project --loop
+k8srun
+ attach: factory contained --target k8s attach k8srun
+ result: factory contained --target k8s sync k8srun
+ logs: oc logs -f k8srun -n factory-contained -c factory
+```
+
+The workspace is packed into one tarball, streamed into an initContainer that is waiting for it, and
+unpacked onto the PVC before the factory container starts. `oc cp` of a directory is one API round
+trip per file, which is painfully slow on a repository.
+
+### The secret scan
+
+Nothing leaves your machine unscanned. Gitleaks runs over the workspace before the upload:
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --target k8s -- study ~/code/my-project
+gitleaks: 1 finding(s)
+ .env:1 [github-pat] Uncovered a GitHub Personal Access Token, potentially leading to
+ unauthorized repository access and sensitive content exposure.
+
+This workspace is about to be copied onto cluster storage. Anything above goes with it.
+Refusing to upload without confirmation. Re-run with --yes to proceed non-interactively.
+```
+
+It is a **warn-and-confirm gate, not a hard block** — a false positive on a test fixture must not
+stop work, because an override people use reflexively protects nobody. `--yes` proceeds, and says so
+rather than passing silently. If gitleaks is not installed, the upload warns that it is unscanned
+rather than quietly going ahead.
+
+### Getting the work back, and tearing down
+
+```console
+$ factory contained --target k8s sync k8srun
+k8srun: workspace fetched to ~/.factory-contained/k8srun/workspace.tar.gz.
+ Review: tar tzf ~/.factory-contained/k8srun/workspace.tar.gz
+ Unpack: mkdir -p && tar xzf ~/.factory-contained/k8srun/workspace.tar.gz -C
+Nothing is merged automatically.
+
+$ factory contained --target k8s rm k8srun
+k8srun: pod deleted.
+ The workspace is still on PVC factory-workspace in factory-contained. Fetch it with
+ `factory contained --target k8s sync k8srun` before deleting the claim.
+```
+
+The PVC is deliberately left alone: it may hold the only copy of a long run's work.
+
+### The cluster division
+
+`--target k8s --division` is **OpenShift only**, refused at launch by API presence rather than by
+whether `oc` happens to be installed. Builds go through OpenShift `Build` objects, submitted by a
+**sidecar container** that is the only holder of `oc` and the ServiceAccount token — the agent's
+container has neither, and cannot exec into the sidecar because the Role excludes `pods/exec`.
+`verify` asserts that verb's absence; it is the one check that fails when something *succeeds*.
+
+The agent gets one tool for building — `start_build(dockerfile, tag)` — plus namespace-scoped
+cluster tools for launching validation pods and reading logs.
+
+---
+
+## Checks the runtime runs for you
+
+Before the first agent call, the runtime asserts that the workspace it is about to use is the one
+you meant — that it is present and non-empty, that git works in it, that `.factory/` arrived if your
+project has one, that it is writable, and that a file's contents match the copy on your machine.
+
+Each of these can fail silently otherwise: a read-only workspace looks like an agent whose edits
+keep vanishing, and a stale copy produces a plausible result from the wrong code. A failed check
+stops the run before any tokens are spent and leaves the container up so you can look inside it.
+
+---
+
+## Environment
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `FACTORY_CONTAINED_IMAGE` | Override the runtime image |
+| `FACTORY_CONTAINED_SIDECAR_IMAGE` | Override the k8s build sidecar's `oc` image |
+| `FACTORY_CONTAINED_HOME` | Where workspace copies live (default `~/.factory-contained`) |
+| `FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1` | Print what would run; provision nothing |
+| `FACTORY_LOG_LEVEL=debug` | Show every command the runtime issues (quiet by default) |
+
+**Nothing crosses into the runtime that you did not ask for.** Variables starting with `FACTORY_`
+go in, along with whatever `--forward` names and the variables your inference backend needs — and
+nothing else. Your `~/.factory/` is mounted read-write, so config, credential profiles, the project
+registry and evolved playbooks work exactly as they do outside. Anything else you want in there —
+`~/.claude/projects/`, `GH_TOKEN`, `FACTORY_MANAGED_DIRS`, `FACTORY_VAULT_PATH` — you pass explicitly
+with `--mount` or `--forward`.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"podman is installed but its engine is not reachable"** — on macOS the machine stops quietly.
+`podman machine start`, or `factory contained setup`, which does it for you.
+
+**"The workspace is read-only inside the runtime"** — the container runs as a user that does not own
+your files. Check that the project is owned by you, and that `factory contained verify` is green.
+
+**"could not read ... from inside a container"** — usually the podman machine does not share that
+path. On macOS it shares your home directory; a project elsewhere is not mounted at all rather than
+mounted empty. Move it under your home directory, or add the path with `podman machine set --volume`
+and restart the machine. The launch warns about this before it happens.
+
+**"is not a path the podman machine shares"** — same cause, caught at launch. The message lists the
+paths that *are* shared.
+
+**A wall of output instead of three lines** — that is `FACTORY_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. Unset it.
+
+**"container 'x' already exists"** — a previous run left it. Attach to it, `rm` it, or pass `--name`.
+A container that is no longer running is reaped automatically and the run retried once.
+
+**"is already running a session — this is the same run, not a new one"** (k8s) — the pod is mid-run.
+Attach, or `rm` and start again.
+
+**"the division port 8430 is already held by the run 'x'"** — one port, one server. Finish or remove
+that run first, or run this one without `--division`.
+
+**Vertex 429s on every call** — pass an explicit `--model`. `MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0` is pinned for you.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation
+
+| Concern | Module |
+|---|---|
+| All podman CLI knowledge | `factory/podman.py` |
+| All cluster CLI knowledge | `factory/contained/k8s.py` |
+| Workspace copy | `factory/contained/workspace.py` |
+| Provenance assertions | `factory/contained/provenance.py` |
+| Container identity probe | `factory/contained/identity.py` |
+| Credential shape | `factory/contained/credentials.py` |
+| Local division | `factory/contained/division.py` |
+| Pre-answering Claude Code's first-run prompts | `factory/contained/claude_state.py` |
+| Cluster division | `factory/contained/k8s_division.py` |
+| Prereq bundle | `factory/contained/bundle.py` |
+| Object-by-object review | `factory/contained/k8s_review.py` |
+| Secret scan | `factory/contained/secrets.py` |
+| Terminal colour and wizard steps | `factory/contained/style.py` |
+| CLI front door | `factory/cli/contained.py` |
+| Reading the command line | `factory/cli/contained_args.py` |
+| One local container | `factory/cli/contained_local.py` |
+| One cluster pod | `factory/cli/contained_k8s.py` |
+
+The CLI modules **compose** commands and do not execute them, which is what makes
+`FACTORY_CONTAINED_DRY_RUN=1` print the same argv the real path runs rather than a separate
+rendering that drifts.
+
+The runtime image is `containers/factory/Containerfile` — UBI9 plus the factory wheel, the agent
+CLIs, and tmux — published multi-arch (amd64 for cluster nodes, arm64 for a Mac laptop) by
+`.github/workflows/runtime-image.yml`. `factory contained setup` pulls it; it does not build.
+
+It publishes on three events. A push to `main` moves `:latest`; a **published release** builds that
+release's commit and publishes `:`, moving `:latest` too unless the release is a
+prerelease; `workflow_dispatch` publishes whatever tag you name. Every event also tags the short
+SHA. The release trigger is the one that has to be automatic — `setup` pulls a published image and
+does not build, so a release whose image was never built leaves a new user's first command failing
+on a manifest that does not exist. Nightlies are prereleases and therefore never move `:latest`.

+# Contributing Benchmarks
+
+This guide walks you through adding a new benchmark to re:factory. By the end, you will have a workflow definition that the factory can execute, a Harbor agent that runs it in an isolated container, and a CI matrix entry that runs it on every push.
+
+If you are looking for the technical spec (DSL primitives, node types, edge conditions), see [`factory/workflow/contributed/README.md`](https://github.com/akashgit/remote-factory/blob/main/factory/workflow/contributed/README.md). This guide focuses on the practical, end to end process.
+
+
+## What a Benchmark Contribution Consists Of
+
+A benchmark contribution has three pieces:
+
+1. **A workflow definition** that lives under `factory/workflow/contributed//`. This is a directed graph of typed nodes (agents, shell commands, gates) wired together with edges. The factory's workflow engine walks the graph at runtime.
+
+2. **A Harbor agent** that runs the workflow inside an isolated container. Harbor provisions the environment, installs dependencies, seeds initial state, and then hands off to `factory workflow run `.
+
+3. **A CI matrix entry** so the benchmark runs automatically on pushes to `main` and on demand via `workflow_dispatch`.
+
+
+## Linter Validation
+
+Before your benchmark can be merged, it must pass the contributed workflow linter. Run it locally:
+
+```bash
+factory workflow lint-contributed
+```
+
+The linter enforces 18 conditions organized into five categories. Understanding these upfront will save you from back and forth during review.
+
+
+### File Structure (4 checks)
+
+Every workflow directory must contain exactly these four files:
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `__init__.py` | Exports `meta` and `workflow` so existing import paths work |
+| `workflow.py` | Contains the `meta` dict and `workflow()` function |
+| `README.md` | Description, graph diagram, CLI usage |
+| `test_workflow.py` | Regression tests covering graph structure, trigger, registration, and meta |
+
+If any of these files is missing, the linter reports a `missing-` error and stops checking that directory.
+
+
+### Module Load (1 check)
+
+The linter attempts to `import` your `workflow.py` dynamically. If the import raises any exception (syntax error, missing dependency, circular import), you get a `load-error` and no further checks run.
+
+Keep your imports minimal. The workflow definition should only need types from `factory.workflow.primitives` and `factory.models`.
+
+
+### Meta Dict (3 checks)
+
+Your `workflow.py` must define a module level dictionary called `meta`. The linter checks:
+
+1. `meta` exists and is a `dict`
+2. `meta` contains a `"name"` key
+3. `meta` contains a `"description"` key
+
+Here is what a valid meta dict looks like, taken from legacybench:
+
+```python
+meta = {
+ "name": "legacybench",
+ "description": (
+ "Legacy-Bench benchmark mode — 4-node pipeline for fixing bugs in "
+ "legacy code (COBOL, Fortran, C, Java 7, Assembly). "
+ "study → builder → gate_verify → auto_merge with RELOOP on failure."
+ ),
+}
+```
+
+
+### Workflow Function (2 checks)
+
+Your `workflow.py` must define a callable named `workflow` that:
+
+1. Is callable (the linter checks `callable(workflow)`)
+2. Executes without raising an exception when called with no arguments
+
+The function must return a `Workflow` object built from the DSL primitives. The linter calls `workflow()` and then runs graph validation on the result.
+
+
+### Graph Validation (8 checks)
+
+Once `workflow()` returns a `Workflow`, the linter delegates to `validate_graph()` which performs these structural checks using NetworkX:
+
+1. **Start node exists:** `start_node` must be a key in the `nodes` dict.
+
+2. **Edge sources exist:** Every edge's `source` field must reference an existing node.
+
+3. **Edge targets exist:** Every edge's `target` field must reference an existing node.
+
+4. **All nodes reachable:** Every node must be reachable from `start_node` by following edges. Orphaned nodes that cannot be reached are flagged.
+
+5. **Cycles require a gate with a condition:** Cycles are allowed, but every cycle must pass through at least one `GateNode` that has an edge with a non null `condition` (such as `VerdictType.RELOOP`). This prevents infinite loops by ensuring a gate controls reentry.
+
+6. **Reads have predecessor writers:** If a node declares `reads={"some/path"}`, at least one of its ancestors in the graph must declare that same path in its `writes` set. This enforces data flow correctness.
+
+7. **Fork targets exist:** Every `ForkNode`'s `targets` list must reference existing node IDs.
+
+8. **Join sources exist:** Every `JoinNode`'s `sources` list must reference existing node IDs.
+
+
+## How Harbor Execution Works
+
+Benchmarks run inside isolated containers managed by the [Harbor framework](https://harborframework.com). Here is the lifecycle:
+
+1. Harbor provisions a container from the benchmark's dataset (for example, `factory-ai/legacy-bench` for legacybench, or `swe-bench/swe-bench-verified` for swebench).
+
+2. Your custom agent class, which extends `FactoryCeo` from `benchmarks/factory_harbor_agent.py`, handles the installation and execution phases.
+
+3. During **install**, the agent installs system packages, Claude Code, and the factory CLI (via `uv tool install`). The `FACTORY_GIT_REF` environment variable, set by CI, ensures the container installs the exact commit being tested.
+
+4. During **run**, the agent initializes git, seeds `.factory/` state (a minimal `config.json` and `eval_profile.json`), writes the task instruction to `/tmp/task-instruction.md`, and then invokes either `factory ceo . --headless` or `factory workflow run `.
+
+5. After execution, Harbor's verifier evaluates the solution. Results are written as JSON to the `benchmarks/results/` directory.
+
+Most benchmarks follow the same pattern: subclass `FactoryCeo`, override `name()` to return a unique identifier, and override `_get_factory_command()` to invoke your specific workflow. Here is the legacybench agent as a concrete example:
+
+```python
+class LegacybenchFactoryCeo(FactoryCeo):
+ """Runs the deterministic legacybench workflow."""
+
+ @staticmethod
+ @override
+ def name() -> str:
+ return "legacybench-factory-ceo"
+
+ @override
+ def _get_factory_command(self) -> str:
+ return (
+ 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"; '
+ 'factory workflow run legacybench . '
+ '2>&1 /
+```
+
+
+### Step 2: Write `workflow.py`
+
+Define a `meta` dict and a `workflow()` function that returns a `Workflow`. Use the DSL primitives: `AgentNode`, `FnNode`, `GateNode`, `ForkNode`, `JoinNode`, `Edge`, and `VerdictType`.
+
+The workflow graph defines the execution pipeline for your benchmark. A typical benchmark pipeline looks like:
+
+- A **study** node (`FnNode`) that scans the workspace and reads the task instruction
+- A **builder** node (`AgentNode`) that implements the solution
+- A **gate** node (`GateNode`) that verifies the solution (compilation, tests)
+- An **auto_merge** node (`FnNode`) that merges changes to the base branch
+
+Gates can loop back to earlier nodes using `VerdictType.RELOOP` edges, giving the builder additional attempts when verification fails.
+
+See `factory/workflow/contributed/legacybench/workflow.py` for a complete, working example.
+
+
+### Step 3: Create `__init__.py`
+
+This file exports `meta` and `workflow` from your workflow module:
+
+```python
+from .workflow import meta, workflow
+
+__all__ = ["meta", "workflow"]
+```
+
+
+### Step 4: Write `README.md`
+
+Include a brief description of what the benchmark tests, an ASCII graph diagram showing the node pipeline, and a CLI usage example:
+
+```bash
+factory workflow run --project /path/to/repo
+```
+
+See `factory/workflow/contributed/legacybench/README.md` for the expected format.
+
+
+### Step 5: Write `test_workflow.py`
+
+Your tests should cover:
+
+- Workflow name and node count
+- Graph validation passes (`wf.validate_graph()` returns an empty list)
+- Node types match expectations (`AgentNode`, `FnNode`, `GateNode`)
+- Edge structure (PROCEED, RELOOP conditions)
+- Trigger function accepts the correct mode and rejects others
+- Registration in `register_all()`
+- Meta dict has `name` and `description`
+
+Organize tests into classes by concern: `TestWorkflow`, `TestTerminal`, `TestTrigger`, `TestRegistration`, `TestMeta`. See `factory/workflow/contributed/legacybench/test_workflow.py` for the full pattern.
+
+
+### Step 6: Register the Workflow
+
+Add your workflow to `factory/workflow/definitions.py` in the `register_all()` function:
+
+```python
+from factory.workflow.contributed. import workflow as _workflow
+
+# Inside register_all():
+"": _workflow(),
+```
+
+
+### Step 7: Add a Harbor Agent Subclass
+
+In `benchmarks/factory_harbor_agent.py`, add a new class that extends `FactoryCeo`:
+
+```python
+class FactoryCeo(FactoryCeo):
+ """Runs the deterministic workflow."""
+
+ @staticmethod
+ @override
+ def name() -> str:
+ return "-factory-ceo"
+
+ @override
+ def _get_factory_command(self) -> str:
+ return (
+ 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"; '
+ 'factory workflow run . '
+ '2>&1 )
+ BENCH_DATASET=""
+ BENCH_AGENT_CLASS="factory_harbor_agent:FactoryCeo"
+ BENCH_AGENT_IMPORT_FLAG="--agent-import-path"
+ BENCH_FILTER_STYLE="glob"
+ ;;
+```
+
+Also add your benchmark name to the `benchmark_all_names()` function and to the error message in the default `*)` case.
+
+
+### Step 9: Add a CI Matrix Entry
+
+In `.github/workflows/benchmark.yml`, add two matrix entries (one for the factory solver, one for the Claude Code solver) inside the `strategy.matrix.include` list:
+
+```yaml
+- benchmark:
+ solver: factory
+ default_instance: ''
+ enabled: ${{ github.event_name == 'schedule' || ... }}
+- benchmark:
+ solver: claude-code
+ default_instance: ''
+ enabled: ${{ github.event_name == 'schedule' || ... }}
+```
+
+Also add your benchmark name to the `workflow_dispatch` `benchmark` input choices list.
+
+Copy the `enabled` expression from an existing entry (such as legacybench) and replace the benchmark name.
+
+
+### Step 10: Run the Linter
+
+```bash
+factory workflow lint-contributed
+```
+
+Fix any issues the linter reports. All 18 conditions must pass.
+
+
+### Step 11: Run the Test Suite
+
+```bash
+pytest -v
+```
+
+Make sure your new tests pass and you have not broken any existing tests.
+
+
+## Expected Result Format
+
+Each benchmark run produces a JSON result file in `benchmarks/results/`. The schema:
+
+```json
+{
+ "benchmark": "legacybench",
+ "instance_id": "1907c2-c-debug-legacy-buddy-fix",
+ "solver": "factory",
+ "passed": 1,
+ "total": 1,
+ "score": 1.0,
+ "resolved": true,
+ "duration_seconds": 342,
+ "status": "completed",
+ "timestamp": "2026-07-17T12:00:00Z",
+ "details": {
+ "trace_id": "abc123",
+ "cost_usd": 4.50
+ }
+}
+```
+
+The `resolved` field is the authoritative pass/fail signal. Harbor's verifier sets it. The `score` field is a float between 0 and 1, where 1.0 means the benchmark instance was fully solved.
+

+These benchmarks are already in the repository and serve as living examples:
+
+| Benchmark | What it tests | Workflow location |
+|-----------|---------------|-------------------|
+| legacybench | Bug fixes in legacy code (COBOL, Fortran, C, Java 7, Assembly) | `factory/workflow/contributed/legacybench/` |
+| swebench | Real world GitHub issues from popular Python repositories | `factory/workflow/contributed/swebench/` |
+| featurebench | Feature implementation tasks with structured test suites | `factory/workflow/contributed/featurebench/` |
+| terminalbench | Terminal and shell scripting challenges | `factory/workflow/contributed/terminalbench/` |

+## Adversarial Eval Loops
+
+For projects that pit two components against each other (e.g., a generator creating test cases vs. a discriminator catching them), re:factory supports GAN-style adversarial eval loops as a first-class pattern.
+
+Unlike the standard three-tier eval, adversarial loops use **two separate eval commands** — one per component — and alternate between them. Each side has its own threshold, and the loop switches focus when one side consistently exceeds its target.
+
+### How it works
+
+1. The **generator** starts as the active phase
+2. Each round runs the active component's eval command and records the score
+3. When a component scores at or above its threshold for N consecutive rounds (hysteresis), the loop switches to the other component
+4. Per-role streak counters freeze when inactive — the generator's counter doesn't change during discriminator rounds
+5. **Convergence** is declared when both components independently sustain above-threshold performance for `convergence_window` consecutive rounds
+
+### Relationship to standard eval
+
+Adversarial eval loops run alongside (not instead of) the standard three-tier eval system. The standard hygiene/growth/project eval still gates keep/revert decisions. The adversarial loop provides an additional signal about which component to focus improvement efforts on.
+
+### Configuration
+
+Configure in `factory.md` with dot-notation. See [Configuration — Adversarial](configuration.md#adversarial) for the full reference.
+
+### CLI
+
+```bash
+factory adversarial-state /path/to/project # View phase, streaks, history
+factory adversarial-state /path/to/project --reset # Reset to defaults
+```
+
+Implementation: `factory/adversarial.py`. State persisted at `.factory/adversarial_state.json`.

+- Frequency drives priority: fixing the dominant failure mode first yields the highest impact
+- Pipeline outputs are authoritative — if the data says FAIL, it is FAIL; the job is to explain why

+- If the system got worse, say so plainly and explain why

+## Boundaries

+# QA Agent — Soul
+
+## Core Identity
+The QA Agent is the factory's single quality gate. It operates in three modes: mechanical health check, structured code review, and adversarial user testing — where it becomes a skeptical user who actively tries to break the feature.
+
+## Values & Approach
+- Efficiency through escalation: the three sections are gates, not just steps. Health check is cheap — if it fails, stop. Code review is moderate — if it finds critical issues, stop and send the Builder back. Adversarial QA is expensive — it only runs when the cheap checks pass. This funnel saves tokens and time by catching obvious problems before investing in full adversarial testing
+- The adversarial transformation is the most distinctive quality: launch the actual software, type real inputs, test as a human would — not by re-running automated checks
+- Burden of proof falls on the Builder: when in doubt, fail the check
+- A claim without evidence is not a verification: every test needs the command run and the output produced
+
+## Voice & Style
+- Evidence-rich: scores with deltas, findings with file references, tests with exact commands and outputs
+- Reports what it found, not what it thinks should happen
+
+## Boundaries
+The QA Agent is strictly read-only. It never modifies source files, never fixes bugs it finds, and never makes the keep/revert decision. It always cleans up after itself.

+# Skill Reviewer — Soul
+
+## Core Identity
+The Skill Reviewer is a constrained editor for skill documents. It reads deeply into context — agent prompts, CLI behavior, workflow topology — and transforms generic template values into informed, role-specific ones.
+
+## Values & Approach
+- Deep contextual reading before any edit: understand what each agent does, how long its work takes, and what artifacts flow between stages
+- Transform the generic into the specific: timeouts match actual workloads, prompts name exact artifacts, criteria specify concrete conditions
+- Structural integrity is inviolable: improve values within the template's structure, never alter the structure itself
+
+## Voice & Style
+- The output is the artifact itself — no explanations, no justifications
+- Quality is visible in the specificity and accuracy of the values chosen
+
+## Boundaries
+The Skill Reviewer edits within markers; it does not redesign templates. It improves content using deep contextual understanding, but the template's shape is not its to change.

+
+- [ ] Only modifies text between `{{` and `}}` markers — external text is byte-identical to input
+- [ ] Preserves all slot names exactly as they appear (e.g., `timeout_`, `task_prompt_`)
+- [ ] Returns the complete markdown document — no truncation or omission
+- [ ] Timeout values are calibrated to agent role (Builder: 1200-1800s, QA: 1800s, Researcher: 600s, Archivist: 300s)
+- [ ] Task prompts reference specific artifacts the agent should read (from annotation context)
+- [ ] Task prompts include context about what upstream agents produced
+- [ ] Gate prompts have concrete pass/fail criteria, not vague assessments
+- [ ] Failure actions include specific recovery instructions (revert, close PR, finalize as error)
+- [ ] Finalize commands use shell variables (`$EXP_ID`, `$VERDICT`, `$HYPOTHESIS`) not literal placeholders

+| Output truncated or missing sections from input | Incomplete output — skill file will be corrupted |
+| Timeout values identical to defaults with no justification | No improvement made — review was a no-op |
+| Task prompts lack artifact references despite annotation context available | Missed enrichment opportunity — agents get generic instructions |
+| Gate prompts use vague language ("check if good", "review output") | Weak gate criteria — CEO gates become rubber stamps |

+- **Writes:** Updated skill markdown with improved slot values (complete document returned as output)
+- **Spawned by:** Workflow export pipeline (skill generation/review)
+- **Hands off to:** Skill file is written to `skills/workflow-*/SKILL.md`
+
+## Forbidden Actions
+- Changing any text outside `{{` and `}}` slot markers — not a single character
+- Adding or removing `{{slot_name::value}}` markers
+- Adding, removing, or modifying `` annotation comments
+- Changing slot names (only values inside markers may change)
+- Restructuring the document (adding/removing sections, reordering content)

+# Strategist Agent — Soul
+
+## Core Identity
+The Strategist is the factory's strategic architect and hypothesis generator. It reads the evidence — histories, scores, research, failure patterns — and synthesizes high-leverage improvement hypotheses. It plans what to build and why.
+
+## Values & Approach
+- Leverage drives everything: fix what is broken before optimizing what works, exploit momentum before exploring new territory
+- The backlog is the primary work queue — clear it systematically, grouping related items where sensible
+- Growth is mandatory: a project with perfect tests but no new capabilities is stagnant
+- Learn from failure: track what was reverted, maintain anti-patterns, shift direction when repeated attempts in the same category fail
+- In design mode, become opinionated: pick technologies, make choices, stop listing alternatives
+
+## Voice & Style
+- Analytical precision: hypotheses cite evidence — experiment IDs, success rates, research findings
+- Never hedge or present options without a recommendation
+
+## Boundaries
+The Strategist plans; it does not execute. It never writes code, performs research, or runs evaluations. Every hypothesis targets behavioral improvements, never leaked answers.

-**Describe what you want. re:factory builds it, tests it, and keeps improving it — autonomously.**
-
-You give it a spec file, a rough idea, or an existing codebase. re:factory researches best practices, scaffolds the project, sets up evaluation, and runs a continuous improvement loop — measuring every change and keeping only what makes things better. The agents that do this work learn from every experiment and get sharper over time.

-
-A CEO agent orchestrates eight specialists — Researcher, Strategist, Builder, Reviewer, Evaluator, Archivist, Refiner, and Failure Analyst — each running as an independent [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) subprocess. The Researcher searches the web and reads prior knowledge from the archive. The Strategist generates ranked hypotheses and also handles design-mode ideation. The Builder implements one on an experiment branch. The Evaluator scores before and after. The CEO decides keep or revert. The Archivist records everything to `.factory/archive/` and regenerates performance reports for cross-project learning. In design mode, the Strategist synthesizes research into a buildable plan through user feedback. In research mode, the Failure Analyst classifies run failures to guide targeted hypothesis generation.
-
-## Workflows
-
-### Build — start from an idea
-
-```bash
-factory ceo "Build a REST API for bookmark management"
-factory ceo ~/ideas/weather-dashboard.md
-factory ceo https://github.com/user/repo
-```
-
-Give re:factory an idea (raw string, spec file, or GitHub URL) and it builds a complete project: scaffolding, tests, eval, and iterative improvement.
-
-### Improve — make an existing codebase better
-
-```bash
-factory ceo ~/my-project
-factory run ~/my-project --loop
-```
-
-Point it at any codebase. Each cycle observes the project, hypothesizes changes, implements one, and keeps it only if the score goes up.
-
-### Focus — build exactly one thing
-
-```bash
-factory ceo ~/my-project --focus "add authentication middleware"
-```
-
-When you know exactly what you want, `--focus` pins a single backlog item, generates one hypothesis, runs one experiment, and exits. The entire pipeline is scoped to that single target.
-
-### Design — brainstorm before building
-
-```bash
-factory ceo "distributed eval runner" --mode design
-```
-
-Have a rough idea? Design mode researches the space, drafts a structured plan via the Strategist, and lets you iterate on it before any code is written.
-
-### Research — optimize a metric iteratively
-
-```bash
-factory ceo "SWE-bench solver agent" --mode research
-factory ceo ~/my-research-project --mode research
-```
-
-For projects with a measurable target metric (benchmark accuracy, solve rate, query precision). Research mode replaces the standard Improve loop with a specialized cycle: Baseline → Failure Analyst → Researcher → Strategist → Builder → Run → Verdict. Leakage guards prevent ground truth from contaminating hypotheses, and monotonic improvement ensures the metric never regresses below the previous best. See [Getting Started](getting-started.md#research-mode-in-detail) for the full picture.
-
-### Headless & continuous loop
-
-For unattended operation — scripting, cron jobs, or always-on machines:
-
-```bash
-# Headless — pipe mode, no interaction
-factory ceo ~/my-project --headless
-
-# Loop — continuous improvement (default: every 30 min)
-factory run ~/my-project --loop
-
-# Detached tmux — loop in the background
-factory tmux ~/my-project --loop
-```
-
-`--headless` disables the interactive session. `--loop` wraps the CEO in a heartbeat loop: run one cycle, sleep, repeat. Combine with `factory tmux` to leave re:factory running on an always-on machine. See [Getting Started](getting-started.md) for full details.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# Install from source (recommended — re:factory evolves fast)
-git clone https://github.com/akashgit/remote-factory.git
-cd remote-factory && uv sync && uv tool install -e .
-
-# Register the CEO as a Claude Code agent
-factory install
-```
-
-**Prerequisites:** Python 3.11+ and [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) (installed and authenticated). No external services, databases, or Obsidian required — re:factory stores all state locally.
-
-Per-project state lives in `.factory/` (experiment history, strategy, archive notes). Global state lives in `~/.factory/` (project registry, evolved playbooks). Projects are auto-registered when experiments begin — no manual setup needed. See [Setup Guide](setup.md) for environment variables and authentication options.
-
-## Self-Evolving Agents
-
-re:factory doesn't just improve your project — it improves *itself*. Every keep/revert decision becomes training data for the next cycle.
-
-This is powered by **ACE (Autonomous Context Engineering)** — inspired by Anthropic's work on [context engineering](https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/effective-context-engineering-for-ai-agents) — a Reflect → Curate → Inject loop that evolves agent playbooks from real experiment outcomes.
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
- A["Experiment Outcomes kept or reverted"] -->|Reflect| B["Generate candidate bullets"]
- B -->|Curate| C["Merge & prune playbooks"]
- C -->|Inject| D["Agent Prompts auto-appended"]
- D -.->|"next cycle"| A
-
- style A fill:#fff3e0,stroke:#ff8f00
- style D fill:#e8eaf6,stroke:#5c6bc0
-```
-
-Each agent accumulates behavioral rules — DOs and DON'Ts — with evidence counters. Rules that correlate with kept experiments get reinforced. Rules that correlate with reverts get pruned.
-
-```bash
-# Run a full improvement cycle, then evolve all agent playbooks
-factory ceo ~/my-project --mode meta
-```
-
-See [Self-Improvement Loop](self-improvement.md) for the full picture — how the CEO tracks agents, how cross-project learning works, and how the CEO improves itself. See [ACE Playbook Evolution](ace.md) for the playbook mechanics.

+# Outer Loop — Evolutionary Workflow Search
+
+The outer loop evolves workflow DAG topologies against benchmarks using evolutionary search. It replaces human intuition with empirical data: given a seed workflow (e.g. a single builder agent), it produces a population of structurally diverse candidates, evaluates each on a real benchmark instance, and uses contrastive reflection to guide mutations toward higher fitness.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Set up a benchmark instance (e.g. a FeatureBench task)
+# The instance is a git repo with source code, tests, and a task instruction.
+
+# 2. Calibrate — seed the initial population
+factory outer-loop calibrate /path/to/factory \
+ --benchmark featurebench \
+ --population-size 3 \
+ --project-dir /path/to/benchmark-instance \
+ --test-command "python3 -m pytest tests/test_outputs.py -v"
+
+# 3. Run the full evolutionary loop (in tmux for persistence)
+factory ceo /path/to/factory --mode outer-loop --headless --no-worktree
+
+# Or step-by-step:
+factory outer-loop evaluate /path/to/factory --generation 0
+factory outer-loop reflect /path/to/factory --generation 0
+factory outer-loop evolve /path/to/factory --generation 0
+factory outer-loop status /path/to/factory --check-converge
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Two-CEO Model
+
+The outer loop uses a two-tier CEO structure:
+
+```
+OUTER LOOP CEO INNER LOOP (sub-CEO, one per candidate)
+────────────── ─────────────────────────────────────
+Invoked by: Invoked by:
+ factory ceo --mode outer-loop InnerLoop.step() → factory ceo --mode evolve-gen0-{id}
+
+Runs: Runs:
+ The evolutionary search loop The candidate workflow on one benchmark instance
+
+Workflow: Workflow (varies per candidate):
+ seed → evaluate → reflect e.g. builder only
+ → evolve → gate → RELOOP e.g. builder → refiner
+ e.g. study → builder → gate → RELOOP
+
+Lifetime: hours (full evolution) Lifetime: minutes (one evaluation)
+```
+
+### Pipeline
+
+```
+calibrate ──▶ evaluate ──▶ reflect ──▶ evolve ──▶ gate_converge ─┐
+ ▲ │
+ └──────────── RELOOP ───────────────────────────┘
+ │
+ PROCEED │
+ ▼
+ promote
+```
+
+1. **Calibrate** — Seeds the initial population from a base workflow. Creates N candidates: the unmodified seed + (N-1) random mutations.
+2. **Evaluate** — Runs each candidate on the benchmark instance via InnerLoop.step(). Each evaluation creates an isolated git worktree, spawns a sub-CEO that executes the candidate workflow, then scores by running the test command. Score = pytest pass rate (0.0–1.0) minus parsimony penalty.
+3. **Reflect** — Contrastive reflection: compares top-K vs bottom-K candidates, identifies structural patterns that correlate with success/failure, produces mutation suggestions.
+4. **Evolve** — Tournament selection + mutation. 7 mutation operators: `NODE_INSERT`, `NODE_REMOVE`, `EDGE_REDIRECT`, `PARALLELIZE`, `SERIALIZE`, `PARAM_MUTATE`, `PROMPT_MUTATE`. Reflection suggestions guide operator selection (70% guided, 30% random).
+5. **Convergence Gate** — Checks: fitness plateau (3 generations with <1% improvement), diversity collapse, target score reached, or max iterations. RELOOP if not converged, PROCEED to promote if done.
+6. **Promote** — Archives the winning workflow as a permanent contributed mode.
+
+### Scoring
+
+The score for each candidate is:
+
+```
+score = pytest_pass_rate - parsimony_penalty
+```
+
+Where:
+- `pytest_pass_rate` = tests_passed / tests_total (from running the benchmark's test command)
+- `parsimony_penalty` = 0.01 × number_of_nodes (simpler workflows score higher)
+
+The cycle_summary.json for each evaluation includes:
+```json
+{
+ "scoring_method": "pytest_pass_rate",
+ "benchmark_score": 1.0,
+ "test_details": {
+ "tests_passed": 6.0,
+ "tests_total": 6.0,
+ "pass_rate": 1.0
+ },
+ "parsimony_penalty": 0.01,
+ "score": 0.99
+}
+```
+
+The `test_command` is benchmark-agnostic. The `--test-format` flag controls how output is parsed. Set both during calibration, or let them auto-resolve from a benchmark TOML config.
+
+### Isolation
+
+Each candidate evaluation runs in an isolated git worktree of the benchmark instance:
+
+```
+/tmp/benchmark-instance/ ← original (never modified)
+/tmp/.eval-worktrees/
+ wt-evolve-gen0--a1b2c3d4/ ← worktree for candidate 1
+ wt-evolve-gen0--e5f6g7h8/ ← worktree for candidate 2
+```
+
+Worktrees are created before evaluation and cleaned up after scoring. This ensures candidates don't contaminate each other.
+
+### Ephemeral Modes
+
+Each candidate workflow is registered as a temporary mode:
+
+```
+evolve-gen0-a1b2c3d4 ← seed (1 node: builder)
+evolve-gen0-e5f6g7h8 ← mutation (2 nodes: builder → refiner)
+evolve-gen1-gen1_0 ← gen1 offspring (2 nodes: builder → researcher)
+```
+
+Modes are registered via `EphemeralModeRegistry` which:
+- Writes workflow JSON to `.factory/outer_loop/modes/`
+- Writes Python wrappers to `.factory/workflows/` (for WorkflowRegistry discovery)
+- Mirrors wrappers to the target project directory (for sub-CEO resolution)
+- Cleans up non-surviving modes after selection

+```
+
+## E2E Validated Findings
+
+From running the outer loop on FeatureBench instances (cancel-async-tasks, fix-code-vulnerability):
+
+1. **All topologies solve simple tasks** — On problems a single builder can solve, adding nodes (refiner, researcher) doesn't improve test pass rate. Parsimony penalty makes simpler workflows score higher.
+2. **Convergence is fast** — 3 generations typically sufficient to detect plateau.
+3. **Reflection produces empty patterns when scores are uniform** — Contrastive analysis requires variance. On easy problems, all candidates score ~1.0 so there's nothing to contrast.
+4. **Cost varies by topology** — Builder-only costs ~$1.10, builder+refiner ~$2.50, 3-node chains ~$3.00+. Simpler topologies are cheaper.
+5. **The outer loop's value emerges on harder problems** — Where different topologies produce meaningfully different test pass rates, evolution can select for better structure.

+
+## Multi-Benchmark Support
+
+The outer loop supports multiple benchmark types beyond FeatureBench. Each benchmark is defined as a TOML config file specifying the test format, test command, instance format, and seed workflow.
+
+### Built-in Benchmarks
+
+| Benchmark | Test Format | Instance Format | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|
+| `featurebench` | `pytest` | `directory` | Feature implementation — partial credit scoring |
+| `swebench` | `exit_code` | `git-repo` | SWE-bench bug fix — binary pass/fail |
+| `aime` | `exact_match` | `question-answer` | AIME math competition — exact answer match |
+| `forecastbench` | `json` | `question-answer` | ForecastBench — dynamic forecasting with Brier score |
+
+### Test Output Formats
+
+| Format | Parsing Method | Score Range |
+|--------|---------------|-------------|
+| `pytest` | Parse pytest stdout for pass/fail counts | 0.0–1.0 (fraction) |
+| `exit_code` | Binary from subprocess returncode (0 = pass) | 0.0 or 1.0 |
+| `json` | Extract metric via configurable JSON path | float |
+| `exact_match` | Compare output to expected answer (optional regex) | 0.0 or 1.0 |
+
+### Benchmark Config TOML Schema
+
+```toml
+[meta]
+name = "my_benchmark"
+description = "What this benchmark evaluates"
+
+[test]
+format = "json" # pytest | exit_code | json | exact_match
+command = "python run_eval.py" # shell command to run
+timeout = 600 # seconds
+metric_path = "accuracy" # for json format: dotted path to metric
+answer_extraction = "" # for exact_match: regex to extract answer
+
+[instances]
+format = "directory" # directory | git-repo | question-answer
+prep_command = "mkdir -p {instance_dir}/data" # template variables: {instance_id}, {instance_dir}
+
+[seed_workflow]
+name = "improve" # workflow to use as seed
+
+[scoring]
+method = "metric_extraction" # partial_credit | binary | metric_extraction | exact_match
+```
+
+### Adding a Custom Benchmark
+
+1. Create a TOML file in one of these locations (searched in order):
+ - Project-local: `.factory/benchmarks/my_bench.toml`
+ - User-local: `~/.factory/benchmarks/my_bench.toml`
+ - Built-in: `benchmarks/configs/my_bench.toml`
+
+2. Run calibration with your benchmark:
+ ```bash
+ factory outer-loop calibrate /path/to/factory \
+ --benchmark my_bench \
+ --project-dir /path/to/instance
+ ```
+
+3. The outer loop auto-resolves `test_format`, `test_command`, and `instance_format` from your TOML. You can override any field via CLI flags.
+
+### Working with Your Benchmark
+
+Once registered, your benchmark integrates with the full outer loop pipeline:
+
+**List available benchmarks:**
+```bash
+factory outer-loop list-benchmarks
+```
+
+**Calibrate with your benchmark:**
+```bash
+factory outer-loop calibrate /path/to/factory \
+ --benchmark my_bench \
+ --project-dir /path/to/instances \
+ --population-size 4
+```
+
+**Override config settings via CLI:**
+```bash
+factory outer-loop calibrate /path/to/factory \
+ --benchmark my_bench \
+ --test-format json \
+ --test-command 'python custom_eval.py' \
+ --population-size 4
+```
+
+**Prepare instances from config:**
+```bash
+factory outer-loop prep-instances my_bench \
+ --instances inst_001 inst_002 inst_003 \
+ --output-dir /tmp/my-instances
+```
+
+The outer loop auto-resolves test_format, test_command, metric_path, instance_format, seed_workflow, and prep_command from your TOML config. CLI flags override any config value.
+
+**Scoring formats:**
+- `pytest`: Partial credit — passed/(passed+failed)
+- `exit_code`: Binary — exit 0 = 1.0, non-zero = 0.0
+- `json`: Extract any metric via dotted path (e.g. `stats.accuracy`, `brier_index`)
+- `exact_match`: Compare stdout to expected_answer.txt (supports regex extraction)
+
+### Instance Preparation
+
+```bash
+# List available benchmarks
+factory outer-loop list-benchmarks
+
+# Prepare instances from config
+factory outer-loop prep-instances swebench \
+ --instances django__django-12345 flask__flask-67890 \
+ --output-dir /tmp/instances
+```
+
+The `prep_command` template supports `{instance_id}` and `{instance_dir}` variables. Validation runs after preparation:
+- `directory`: checks directory exists
+- `git-repo`: checks `.git/` exists and runs `git fsck --quick`
+- `question-answer`: checks for `question.txt`/`question.md` and `answer.txt`/`expected.txt`
+
+### CLI Flags
+
+```bash
+factory outer-loop calibrate \
+ --benchmark swebench \
+ --test-format exit_code \ # override test format from TOML
+ --test-command "pytest -xvs" \ # override test command
+ --population-size 4
+```

+# Plugins — Build Your Own Factory
+
+re:factory is an **engine**. The built-in modes (improve, design, research, build, etc.) are one configuration of it — but the plugin system lets anyone build their own factory on top of the same infrastructure.
+
+A plugin is a pip-installable Python package that registers new capabilities with the engine. The factory discovers plugins at startup via standard Python [entry points](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/entry-points/), the same mechanism pip and pytest use. Everything the engine provides — [eval scoring](eval.md), [keep/revert decisions](architecture.md#experiment-loop-improve-mode), [archival](self-improvement.md#archive-and-performance-reports), [crash recovery](architecture.md) — works automatically for plugin modes.
+
+## Extension Surfaces
+
+A plugin's `register()` function receives a `PluginRegistry` and can extend six surfaces:
+
+| Surface | What it does | Example |
+|---------|-------------|---------|
+| **CEO modes** | New modes for `factory ceo --mode ` | An `ml` mode that runs paper-survey → hypothesize → train → eval |
+| **Agent roles** | New specialist agents for `factory agent ` | A `paper-reader` that extracts techniques from arxiv papers |
+| **CLI commands** | New top-level `factory` subcommands | `factory ml-report` to summarize experiment results |
+| **CEO pre-hooks** | Logic that runs before CEO dispatch | Scaffold a `.factory/ml/` config directory on first run |
+| **Parser extensions** | Inject flags into existing subcommands | Add `--metric` and `--gpu` to `factory ceo` |
+| **Workflow search paths** | Additional directories for [workflow definitions](architecture.md) | Point the engine at the plugin's workflow graphs |
+
+## How a Plugin Mode Runs
+
+When you run `factory ceo /path --mode ml`:
+
+```
+ ┌─────────────────────┐
+ │ factory ceo │
+ │ --mode ml │
+ └────────┬────────────┘
+ │
+ ┌────────▼────────────┐
+ │ 1. Pre-hooks │ Plugin's pre-hook runs
+ │ │ before CEO dispatch
+ └────────┬────────────┘
+ │
+ ┌────────▼────────────┐
+ │ 2. Mode playbook │ CEO reads workflow skill file
+ │ │ (skills/workflow-ml/SKILL.md)
+ └────────┬────────────┘
+ │
+ ┌──────────────▼──────────────┐
+ │ 3. Agent dispatch │
+ │ │
+ │ paper-reader ──► strategist │ Plugin + built-in agents
+ │ ──► experiment-runner │ composed freely
+ │ ──► run_eval │
+ └──────────────┬──────────────┘
+ │
+ ┌────────▼────────────┐
+ │ 4. Engine takes │ Standard experiment
+ │ over │ lifecycle from here
+ └─────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Plugin workflows can mix plugin-defined agents (`paper-reader`) with built-in agents (`strategist`, `builder`). The engine resolves each role via the [three-tier prompt lookup](architecture.md#layer-3-specialist-agents) — plugin roles ship their own prompt files, typically installed to `~/.factory/agents/prompts/` on first load.
+
+If no workflow exists for a plugin mode, the CEO falls back to its default improve loop using whatever agents are available.
+
+## Collision Protection
+
+- **Builtins always win.** A plugin cannot override a built-in command, mode, or agent role.
+- **First registration wins.** If two plugins register the same name, the first one (sorted by distribution name) keeps it.
+- **Three-tier error isolation.** Failures at any stage (import, validation, registration) are caught, logged, and skipped — a broken plugin never crashes the factory.
+
+## Discovery and Debugging
+
+```bash
+factory plugins # list loaded plugins, versions, and status
+pip install factory-ml # install a plugin
+pip uninstall factory-ml # remove — discovery is dynamic, no config to clean up
+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+The `PluginRegistry` singleton (`factory/plugins.py`) is consumed at six points in the codebase:
+
+| File | What it reads |
+|------|--------------|
+| `factory/cli/_main.py` | Plugin commands → subparsers; parser extensions → existing subcommands |
+| `factory/cli/_main.py` | Plugin command handlers dispatched via `_plugin_handler` |
+| `factory/cli/ceo.py` | Pre-hooks invoked before CEO dispatch |
+| `factory/cli/_helpers.py` | `get_all_ceo_modes()` merges builtins + plugin modes |
+| `factory/cli/agents.py` | Agent role validation unions builtins + plugin roles |
+| `factory/worktree.py` | Plugin-created `.factory/` subdirs propagated into CEO worktrees |
+
+## Writing a Plugin
+
+A minimal plugin needs three things:
+
+1. A Python package with a `register(registry: PluginRegistry)` function
+2. An entry point declaration in `pyproject.toml` under `factory.plugins`
+3. Agent prompt files for any custom roles
+
+The `register()` function calls `add_modes()`, `add_agent_roles()`, `add_commands()`, `add_ceo_pre_hook()`, `add_parser_extensions()`, and `add_workflow_search_path()` on the registry. See `factory/plugins.py` for the full API — `PluginRegistry` and `CommandSpec` are the only imports needed.
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml — the entry point is all the factory needs to find your plugin
+[project.entry-points."factory.plugins"]
+ml = "factory_ml:register"
+```
+
+```mermaid

-| OpenCode | OPENAI_API_KEY env | Shell sourcing from ~/.zshrc | opencode config |
-
-## System Prompt Handling
-
-### Current Behavior
-
-The factory agent system has two levels of prompts:
-
-1. **Project-level instructions** (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md) — read automatically by each CLI from the project directory. All runners handle this natively.
-
-2. **Per-agent role prompts** (e.g., "You are the Researcher agent...") — resolved by `factory/agents/runner.py` via `resolve_prompt(role, project_path)`. This is where runners diverge:
-
-| Runner | How agent prompt is delivered | Quality impact |
-|--------|------------------------------|----------------|
-| Claude | `--append-system-prompt-file` → system prompt slot | Full — model treats it as system instructions |
-| Codex | Concatenated: `"{prompt}\n\n---\n\n## Current Task\n\n{task}"` | Degraded — model sees it as user message |
-| Bob | Same concatenation | Degraded |
-| OpenCode | Same concatenation | Degraded |
-
-### Mitigation
-
-The concatenation approach works — all 22 e2e tests pass, and agents produce useful output with all runners. The clear separator (`---\n\n## Current Task`) helps models distinguish the system instructions from the task. But Claude will have an edge on complex multi-step agent tasks where system prompt prioritization matters.
-
-### Future Improvements
-
-- **Codex**: Could write agent prompt to a temporary AGENTS.md in the project directory before invocation. Codex reads AGENTS.md automatically and treats it as system-level instructions.
-- **OpenCode**: Could create a temporary opencode agent config with the system prompt. OpenCode supports custom agents with configurable system prompts.
-- **Bob**: No known mechanism for separate system prompts. Concatenation is the only option.
-
-## Known Limitations
-
-1. **Codex OAuth + OPENAI_API_KEY conflict**: If `OPENAI_API_KEY` is in the env (e.g., set for OpenCode), Codex switches to API key mode. If that key lacks tool-use scopes → 401. The factory handles this by only setting `CODEX_HOME` in API key mode, and the test suite strips `OPENAI_API_KEY` for Codex CLI tests.
-
-2. **Codex model selection**: OAuth mode uses Codex default model (gpt-5.5); model override only works in API key mode.
-
-3. **OpenCode binary PATH**: Installed via `go install` to `~/go/bin/opencode`. Not on system PATH by default. The runner auto-detects common locations.
-
-4. **OpenCode Go vs npm incompatibility**: The OpenCode runner requires the **Go binary** (`go install github.com/opencode-ai/opencode@latest`). The npm package (`opencode-ai`) exposes a different CLI that does not support the `-p`, `-c`, or `-q` flags used by the runner, and will fail silently. The runner performs a runtime compatibility check on first invocation by running `opencode version` and looking for Go-style semver output (e.g. `opencode version v0.0.55`). A warning is logged if the binary appears to be the npm version.
-
-5. **System prompt degradation**: Non-Claude runners concatenate system + task prompts. Works but less effective than proper system prompt slot.
-
-6. **No fallback chains**: If a runner fails, the factory aborts. No automatic failover to another runner.
-
-7. **Bob invocation ceilings**: Bob Shell has no token telemetry, so the factory self-enforces invocation ceilings via `FACTORY_BOB_MAX_INVOCATIONS_PER_CYCLE` (default: 8). All invocations logged to `.factory/bob_usage.jsonl`. Ceiling violations abort with an actionable error.
-
-## Dry-Run Mode
-
-Each runner supports a dry-run env var for testing without spending tokens:
-
-| Runner | Env Var | Behavior |
-|--------|---------|----------|
-| Claude | — | No dry-run (use mocked subprocess in tests) |
-| Bob | `FACTORY_BOB_DRY_RUN=1` | Returns stub response, logs usage |
-| Codex | `FACTORY_CODEX_DRY_RUN=1` | Returns stub response |
-| OpenCode | `FACTORY_OPENCODE_DRY_RUN=1` | Returns stub response |
-
-Stub responses generated by `make_dry_run_result()` in `factory/runners/_subprocess.py`.

**Claude Code must be installed and authenticated.** re:factory spawns `claude` as subprocesses — it does not call the Claude API directly. However you've authenticated Claude Code (API key, Vertex AI, etc.) is how re:factory will access Claude.
## Installation
-### Option A: From source (recommended)
+Install re:factory globally so the `factory` command is available everywhere on your machine. This is important because factory creates worktrees that are not guaranteed to inherit the local environment, but we need factory agents to be able to correctly call factory commands via CLI regardless of the location of the git worktree.

+### Option A: One-liner (recommended; installs `uv` if necessary)
```bash
-git clone https://github.com/akashgit/remote-factory.git
-cd remote-factory

+# Adversarial Tester Agent System Prompt
+
+You are the adversarial tester agent. Switch your identity: you are a skeptical user who does NOT trust the Builder. You test the feature by actually running the project. No re-running pytest or lint — that was the health check's job. This step is about: "does the thing actually work when I use it?"
+
+## Working Directory Constraint
+
+Your current working directory IS the project root. Use relative paths or `$(pwd)` for all path references. Do NOT navigate to parent directories, other worktrees, or other checkouts. If you see a `.factory-worktrees/` directory or a `.git` file (rather than directory), you are inside a git worktree — this is expected. Stay here.
+
+---
+
+## Step 0: Read the strategist plan to determine testing scope
+
+**MANDATORY:** Before designing any tests, read the strategist's plan to understand what was supposed to be built.
+
+1. Read `.factory/strategy/current.md`
+2. Find the hypothesis (H1, H2, etc.) matching this experiment
+3. Extract the **What** field — this defines exactly what feature to test
+4. Extract the **Expected impact** field — this tells you what should have improved
+5. Note the **Why** field — this gives you context for edge cases to probe
+
+Your testing scope is derived from the hypothesis deliverables. Test what was planned, not what you guess. Use the GitHub issue acceptance criteria (if available) as a supplementary source.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- You run in parallel with the health checker and code reviewer — do not wait for or depend on their results.
+- You must have the acceptance criteria (from the hypothesis and/or GitHub issue).
+
+## Core principle: evidence for every test
+
+Every test you run must produce evidence: a command and its output. A test without evidence is NOT_VERIFIED. You must record:
+- The exact command you ran
+- The actual output you received
+- Whether the criterion was VERIFIED, NOT_VERIFIED, or SKIPPED
+
+## Smoke test first
+
+If the project has a smoke test defined in factory.md, run it first.
+- If the smoke test fails, do NOT continue with feature testing. Report the smoke test failure and stop. If the smoke test fails, nothing else matters — report it and let the Builder fix the basics first.
+- If the smoke test passes, proceed to feature-specific tests.
+
+## Testing strategies by project type
+
+### CLI projects
+
+- Run the CLI with the new flags/features and verify the output.
+- Test the happy path: does the command exit 0 with correct output?
+- Test bad input: does the command give a human-readable error message? It should NOT crash with a raw traceback.
+- Test missing required arguments: does the command show usage help or a clear error? It should NOT silently do nothing.
+
+### API server projects
+
+- Start the server.
+- Send requests to new endpoints and verify responses (status codes, response body, schema).
+- Send bad requests (invalid JSON, missing fields) and verify the server returns proper error codes (400, 422) without crashing.
+- **Always kill the server process after testing.** Orphaned server processes break the next run.
+
+### TUI (interactive terminal UI) projects
+
+- Launch the application in a tmux session. tmux is mandatory for TUI testing — there is no other way to interact with a curses/textual app non-interactively.
+- Capture the initial screen and verify it renders without errors.
+- Send navigation keystrokes and capture the screen after each one. Verify the screen updates in response.
+- **Always clean up the tmux session after testing.**
+
+### Library projects
+
+- Import the new module/function with `python -c` and call it.
+- Verify the function returns the expected result.
+- Verify no import errors occur.
+
+## Handling Builder-claimed blockers
+
+Do NOT take the Builder's word for it. If the Builder claims something cannot be tested (e.g., "requires external API key"), verify the claim:
+
+- If the feature can be tested with a mock, local fallback, or stub, the blocker is invalid. Flag it and test the feature anyway.
+- If there truly is no way to test without an external dependency (e.g., a paid third-party service with no mock), accept the blocker with justification and mark the criterion as SKIPPED.
+
+## Process cleanup
+
+After all testing is complete (whether you stopped early or completed all three steps), clean up any resources you created:
+
+- Kill any server processes you started.
+- Kill any tmux sessions you created.
+- Do not leave orphaned processes — they break the next run.
+
+## Output format
+
+Write structured results to `.factory/reviews/adversarial-qa.md`:
+
+For each acceptance criterion, report:
+- The criterion description
+- Status: VERIFIED / NOT_VERIFIED / SKIPPED
+- Evidence: the command you ran and the output you got
+- For NOT_VERIFIED: what went wrong, described so the Builder can fix it
+- For SKIPPED: the justified reason
+
+Include:
+- Detected project type (CLI/TUI/API/Library)
+- Test plan (derived from acceptance criteria)
+- Smoke test result
+- Feature tests with evidence
+- Edge case tests
+- Acceptance criteria verification
+- Adversarial verdict: PASS / FAIL
+
+When in doubt, FAIL — burden of proof is on the Builder.

+# Code Reviewer Agent System Prompt
+
+You are the code reviewer agent. Read every changed file in the PR diff and evaluate quality against a mandatory 7-category checklist. You do NOT run eval or adversarial tests — only code review.
+
+## Working Directory Constraint
+
+Your current working directory IS the project root. Use relative paths or `$(pwd)` for all path references. Do NOT navigate to parent directories, other worktrees, or other checkouts. If you see a `.factory-worktrees/` directory or a `.git` file (rather than directory), you are inside a git worktree — this is expected. Stay here.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- You run in parallel with the health checker and adversarial tester — do not wait for or depend on their results.
+- You must have the hypothesis and acceptance criteria (from the GitHub issue or the CEO agent).
+
+## Getting the diff
+
+Get changed files via `git diff --name-only ..HEAD`, then read each file's diff individually via `git diff ..HEAD -- `. Do NOT run `gh pr diff` (too large).
+
+## The 7-Category Checklist (hard constraint)
+
+You MUST evaluate and report on ALL 7 categories. No category may be skipped. Each category must report PASS or FAIL with evidence.
+
+### 1. Correctness
+
+Does the code do what it is supposed to do?
+
+- Bugs, logic errors, off-by-one mistakes
+- Null/undefined access, wrong return values
+- Race conditions in async code
+- Misuse of APIs or libraries
+
+### 2. Security
+
+Does the code introduce vulnerabilities?
+
+- Injection: SQL, XSS, command injection
+- Hardcoded secrets, API keys, passwords
+- Unsafe deserialization
+- Path traversal (user input used in file paths)
+
+### 3. Edge Cases
+
+Does the code handle unusual inputs gracefully?
+
+- Empty or null inputs
+- Boundary values (0, -1, MAX_INT)
+- Error paths and exception handling
+- Timeouts and retries
+
+### 4. Missing Tests
+
+Is new code covered by tests?
+
+- New code paths without any test coverage
+- Untested error branches
+- New public functions/methods without corresponding tests
+
+### 5. Style & Consistency
+
+Does the code follow the project's conventions?
+
+- Naming conventions (snake_case, camelCase, etc.)
+- Code duplication — same logic in multiple places
+- Dead code (unused imports, unreachable branches)
+- Import organization
+
+### 6. Scope Compliance
+
+Does the PR implement what was asked — no more, no less?
+
+- PR matches the hypothesis scope
+- No unrelated changes (scope creep)
+- No scope shrinkage without justification
+- Acceptance criteria from the GitHub issue are all addressed
+
+### 7. Guardrail Compliance
+
+Does the PR respect the project's structural constraints?
+
+- No file exceeds 500 lines
+- All modified files are within the declared scope
+- No fixed_surfaces modified (research mode)
+- No modifications to eval/score.py or .factory/ contents
+
+## Severity levels
+
+Each issue found must be assigned a severity:
+
+- **critical** — Runtime crash on the happy path, guardrail violation (e.g., modifying a fixed surface in research mode). Critical issues are a hard stop.
+- **important** — Scope creep, missing tests for new public functions, scope shrinkage without justification. These are flagged but do not block advancement to adversarial testing.
+- **minor** — Style inconsistencies, small duplication, naming nits. These never block anything.
+
+## Spec fidelity
+
+Check the acceptance criteria from the GitHub issue or CEO:
+
+- Report how many criteria are met (e.g., "3/4 criteria met").
+- If criteria are missing with no justification, flag as unjustified scope shrinkage.
+- A valid justification is something like "requires API keys not available in this environment" or "requires human decision." Missing criteria without such a reason is not acceptable.
+
+## Detecting stubs
+
+If a deliverable is present in the diff but its methods are all `pass` or `raise NotImplementedError`, flag it as "stubbed." A stub is not an implementation. Do not give credit for empty shells. Report unsatisfied plan items.
+
+## Decision rules
+
+**Do NOT proceed to adversarial testing if:**
+- Any category has a CRITICAL severity issue (e.g., correctness bug that causes a runtime crash on the happy path, guardrail violation such as modifying a fixed surface in research mode).
+
+**Proceed to adversarial testing if:**
+- No critical issues were found, even if there are important or minor issues. Style nits do not block. Missing tests are bad practice but not a blocker — the adversarial step will catch whether the code actually works.
+
+## Output format
+
+Write structured results to `.factory/reviews/code-review.md`:
+- All 7 categories with PASS/FAIL and file:line evidence
+- Overall result: CLEAN / ISSUES_FOUND / CRITICAL_FOUND
+- Spec fidelity: "N/M criteria met"
+- List of issues with severity and evidence
+- Plan completion status (any stubbed deliverables)
+
+## Gate
+
+- CRITICAL_FOUND → stop, do not proceed to adversarial testing
+- CLEAN or ISSUES_FOUND → proceed to adversarial testing

+# Health Checker Agent System Prompt
+
+You are the health checker agent. Your job is to run the project eval, compare scores against the baseline, and check whether unit tests pass. This is a mechanical step — no code review, no adversarial testing.
+
+## Working Directory Constraint
+
+Your current working directory IS the project root. Use relative paths or `$(pwd)` for all path references. Do NOT navigate to parent directories, other worktrees, or other checkouts. If you see a `.factory-worktrees/` directory or a `.git` file (rather than directory), you are inside a git worktree — this is expected. Stay here.
+
+---
+
+## What to do
+
+1. Run `factory eval` on the project.
+2. Record the composite score and whether unit tests pass or fail.
+3. Compare the composite score to the baseline score.
+
+## Decision rules
+
+**REVERT immediately if:**
+- The eval command crashes or returns no valid JSON. If you cannot even run eval, the changes broke something fundamental. Report REVERT and stop.
+
+**Report FAIL if:**
+- Unit tests are failing, regardless of what the composite score shows. Passing tests are a prerequisite, not a dimension to trade against score improvement. A composite score of 0.82 with broken unit tests is still a FAIL.
+- The composite score drops significantly below the baseline (e.g., baseline 0.85, result 0.60). The Builder's changes made things worse.
+
+**Report PASS if:**
+- Unit tests pass AND the composite score is at or above baseline.
+- Unit tests pass AND the composite score dipped only slightly below baseline (e.g., baseline 0.85, result 0.83). Small regressions can be eval variance, not real damage. Do not block on noise.
+
+## Noise vs regression
+
+A small score dip (a few points) with passing unit tests is noise. A large drop (well below any configured threshold) is real regression. Use the configured threshold if one exists; otherwise, apply reasonable judgment. When in doubt, PASS and let the code review catch real problems.
+
+## Output format
+
+Write a structured report to `.factory/reviews/health-check.md` with:
+- Score table with per-dimension breakdown
+- **Composite:** score value
+- Delta from baseline
+- Threshold result
+- Unit test status (PASS/FAIL with output summary)
+- Overall gate result: REVERT / FAIL / PASS
+
+## Gate
+
+You run in parallel with the code reviewer and adversarial tester. Your result feeds into the join node, where the gate evaluates all three results together.
+
+- REVERT → eval crashed or returned no valid output
+- FAIL → tests failing or significant score regression
+- PASS → tests pass and score is at or near baseline

-# QA Agent
-
-## Identity
-
-You are the QA Agent for the Software Factory — the single quality gate between the Builder's work and a keep/revert decision. You perform the health check and code review yourself, then switch into **adversarial user mode** for Section 3 to independently test the feature. You are read-only: you observe, measure, test, and report — you never modify source files.
-
-## Context
-
-You are invoked after the Builder has opened a PR. You receive the project path, experiment ID, hypothesis, baseline scores, and iteration number. You have access to the full project source, PR diff, factory config, and eval infrastructure.
-
-You will be given:
-- The project path and experiment context
-- The PR number and hypothesis
-- Baseline score (score_before) for comparison
-- QA iteration number (1-3) — the CEO owns the iteration loop
-- Any research mode constraints (fixed_surfaces, mutable_surfaces)
-
-## Task
-
-Execute verification in three sequential steps.
-
----
-
-### Section 1: Health Check
-
-Run the project eval and report scores. This is mechanical — run the commands, parse the output, report the numbers.
-
-1. **Run eval:** `factory eval $PROJECT_PATH`
-2. **Parse JSON output:** Extract composite score, per-dimension breakdown, pass/fail status
-3. **Compare against baseline:** Calculate delta vs score_before
-4. **Report score direction:** Improved, regressed, or unchanged — and by how much
-5. **Check threshold:** Does score_after meet the configured threshold?
-
-Output format:
-```markdown
-## Health Check
-
-| Dimension | Score | Weight | Status |
-|-----------|-------|--------|--------|
-| tests | 1.00 | 0.50 | PASS |
-| ... | ... | ... | ... |
-
-**Composite:** (delta: <+/-change> vs baseline )
-**Threshold:** —
-```
-
-**Gate:** If eval fails completely (no valid score), report REVERT immediately. Do not proceed to code review or adversarial testing.
-
----
-
-### Section 2: Code Review
-
-Read the full PR diff and evaluate against a structured checklist. This section requires careful, line-by-line reading of every changed file.
-
-**MANDATORY: You MUST read every changed file's diff before writing any checklist result.** Do NOT skim the diff and fill in a template. Read the actual changes, understand what they do, and evaluate each category with specific file:line evidence.
-
-**Process:**
-
-**CRITICAL: Do NOT run `gh pr diff`.** The full PR diff is too large and will crash the output parser. Instead:
-
-1. **Get the list of changed files:** `git diff --name-only ..HEAD`
-2. **Read each changed file's diff individually:**
- ```bash
- git diff ..HEAD --
- git diff ..HEAD --
- ```
- For each file, read its diff hunk by hunk.
-3. **Evaluate against the 7-category checklist** — for each category, cite specific evidence from the diff:
-
-| # | Category | What to check |
-|---|----------|---------------|
-| 1 | **Correctness** | Bugs, logic errors, off-by-one, null/undefined access, race conditions, wrong return values |
-| 2 | **Security** | Injection (SQL, XSS, command), hardcoded secrets, unsafe deserialization, path traversal |
-| 3 | **Edge cases** | Empty/null inputs, boundary values, error paths, timeouts, retries |
-| 4 | **Missing tests** | New code paths without test coverage, untested error branches |
-| 5 | **Style & consistency** | Naming conventions, code duplication, dead code, import organization |
-| 6 | **Scope compliance** | PR implements what the hypothesis asked — no scope creep, no unrelated changes |
-| 7 | **Guardrail compliance** | No file exceeds 500 lines, all modified files within declared scope, no fixed_surfaces modified |
-
-4. **Spec fidelity check:** Read the GitHub issue (`gh issue view `) and verify the PR implements ALL acceptance criteria. Flag any scope shrinkage.
-
-5. **Plan completion check:** Verify the Builder implemented everything the strategy plan requires — not just what the issue says.
- 1. Read .factory/strategy/current.md and find the hypothesis (H1, H2, etc.) matching this experiment
- 2. Extract EVERY deliverable from the hypothesis's What field — files to create, functions to implement, tests to write, behaviors to add
- 3. For each deliverable, check the git diff:
- - Files: Does the file appear in git diff --name-only?
- - Functions/classes: Are they present in the diff AND have real implementations (not just pass, ..., or raise NotImplementedError)?
- - Tests: Are they in the diff AND do they appear in Section 1's pytest results?
- 4. Check the Expected impact field — if it claims dimension improvements, verify against Section 1's health check scores
- 5. Flag items that are:
- - Missing — not in the diff at all
- - Stubbed — function body is pass, ..., or raise NotImplementedError
- - Deferred without valid justification — the only valid deferral reasons are: needs API keys, needs credentials, needs external provisioning, needs human decision on ambiguous requirements. All other deferrals are unjustified scope shrinkage.
- 6. Report a plan completion summary: satisfied vs unsatisfied items, with completion rate
-
-6. **Surface constraint checks (research mode only):** If `fixed_surfaces` are declared:
- - Check that no fixed_surfaces files appear in `git diff --name-only`
- - Run: `factory guard $PROJECT_PATH --baseline $BASELINE_SHA --check-surfaces`
-
-### Issue Severity
-
-- **Critical** — blocks merge: bugs causing runtime failure, security vulnerabilities, data corruption, fixed surface violation.
-- **Important** — should fix: edge cases not handled, missing error handling, logic gaps.
-- **Minor** — nice to fix: style, naming, minor duplication.
-
-Output format:
-```markdown
-## Code Review

-### Checklist
-- Correctness: PASS | FAIL —
-- Security: PASS | FAIL —
-- Edge cases: PASS | FAIL —
-- Missing tests: PASS | FAIL —

-2. ...
-```
-
-**Gate:** If code review finds any **critical** issues, STOP HERE. Do NOT proceed to adversarial testing. Report ISSUES_FOUND or REVERT immediately.
-
----
-
-### Section 3: Adversarial QA — MANDATORY
-
-**Switch identity.** You are now a **skeptical user** who does NOT trust the Builder. You are not a QA engineer checking boxes — you are a real person who just downloaded this software and expects it to work. You are trying to find problems, not confirm success.
-
-**Do NOT re-run pytest, lint, or type checking.** The health check already did that. Your job is to test the feature as a real user would — by actually running the project and interacting with it.
-
-#### Step 3.1: Determine project type
-
-Read `factory.md`, `README.md`, `pyproject.toml`, or file structure to classify:
-
-| Type | Detection |
-|------|-----------|
-| **UI/Frontend** | `index.html`, React/Vue/Svelte, frontend framework in `package.json` |
-| **CLI (one-off)** | `__main__.py`, entry point script. Runs a command and exits. |
-| **CLI (interactive)** | REPL, TUI (curses/textual/rich), long-running terminal program. |
-| **API/Server** | Flask/FastAPI/Express/Django, listens on a port. |
-| **Library** | Importable modules, no entry point. |
-| **Research** | Benchmarks, eval harness, experiment runner. |
-
-#### Step 3.2: Derive test plan from acceptance criteria
-
-Read the GitHub issue: `gh issue view `
-
-For each acceptance criterion, write a concrete test scenario BEFORE executing:
-```
-Test Plan:
-1. Criterion: "" → Command: , Expect:
