factory.wedd.au — a reproducible workshop

Nothing reaches the printer without ahuman reading the report first.

A workshop that used to live in my head — rough dimensions in a note, a slicer profile I half-remembered tuning — rebuilt so it's reproducible. Every project starts as aproject.yaml. Every output is generated from it. Every part clears its gates before a person approves the print.

# build, validate, render, report — never print
$ uv run factory report projects/house/trickypossum-avatar
wrote reports/report.md
→ ready_for_human_print_review   (awaiting a human)

the pipeline

A part travels through gates and stops at the human. Agents do everything up to the checkpoint; advancing past it is a person's call, every time.

the safety boundary

Fail-closed by design. The split between what an agent may do and what it may never do isn't a guideline — it's enforced by the absence of code paths. There is no --send, no--upload, no --start anywhere in the codebase.

Permanently denied until built.Upload and print-start require explicit human approval through a workflow that does not yet exist — so both are treated as denied, not merely gated.
