Reference document, shown as written except that local paths appear as placeholders. Where it describes the Factory as intended, read it as design, not current state: only local infrastructure is accepted, no release, customer value or scheduled automation is established, and all 27 customer-value epics remain open. Current state: Factory model.

Reviewed core identity and two editorial family plates, covering the eleven accepted local modules as recorded on 2026-09-28. These studies do not claim completed epics or customer benefit.

Module family

Six Plumb studies: Command journal with a ledger; Evidence / Assurance with a specimen case; Execution with a baton; Local fixture worker with a toolbox; Attempt fence / workspace with a gate; Guarded verification / recovery with a loupe and report.
Five matching Plumb studies: Confined executor with a gear under glass; Repository sealing / export with a sealed parcel; Repository integration with a points lever; Portfolio with index cards; Dashboard with an empty frame.

Exact labels and reading-order positions are available as text in the module table. Keep each plate intact. Future decision-domain directions are documented there; no extra images are owed yet.

The generated core PNGs are 1254 × 1254, although 1024 × 1024 was requested. All PNGs are unchanged generator outputs, not crops. The SVG is original vector artwork, not image_gen output; its live system-font wordmark can vary by viewer.

Review and use

  • Exact Opus 5.5 at configured high effort supplied the original direction and correction. Astra coordinated image_gen and independently reviewed the direction, sources, labels, consistency and delivered files. The image tool did not expose its underlying model. Full hashes, prompt hashes and source receipts are in provenance.
  • Visual comparison at 16, 24, 32, 48 and 64 px rejected the original 16 px mark claim. Use the generated mark at 48 px or larger.
  • Foreground token contrast is checked in geometry. Pale backgrounds and shadows are decorative, not information. Raster studies retain small tonal variation; they are illustrations, not exact vector exports.
  • Supply meaningful alt text, or empty alt text when a neighbouring text equivalent makes an illustration decorative. Never make an illustration the sole label or control.
  • The identity mark may accompany Factory in navigation. Characters belong in docs, onboarding or calm empty states, through ordinary reviewed design-system changes; operational messages stay plain.
  • Completed-epic packs: none. All 27 epics were open at capture. Follow the asset rule when independent closure evidence exists.
