Workers could no longer edit the files that judged them, gate reports recorded the machine they ran on, and District could roll an engine upgrade back without the network.</p> <p>Sixteen days later, the current release is 0.4.6. The version number is not the interesting part. Factory now has a proper operator surface, a bounded way for another agent to inspect its evidence, and a decision trace that follows a ticket from triage through merge. More importantly, there is software on the other side of it. The pipeline is no longer the only thing worth writing about.</p>
