Self-build Factory roadmap

What the Factory is, what is earned, what is next. Client products are secondary until Stage 4 closes.

Object model spine (Factory OS)

How work moves through the Factory — from idea to shipped release. Gate12 MVP makes this navigable in the Control Room.

Factory OS on main + standing host

Software lives on factory-bridge main / apps/factory-os. Host is factory-runtime-01. This Pages board does not expand writes.

Founding principles

These are how BIGFIT builds — not optional features.

• Support stack (decided) — Freshdesk helpdesk (Factory opens tickets via API); Better Stack monitoring, on-call paging, and client status page; custom proactive AI agent (LLM + Freshdesk API + Better Stack webhooks) that reaches out to clients first. Not Intercom Fin, Sierra, or Decagon at this stage.
• GitHub main is truth — when any other board disagrees, main wins.
• Daniel owns consequential authority — spend, keys, production go-live, scope.

Running costs (visible to Daniel)

Live spend log. Full ledger on Bot computer: projects/bigfit/COSTS.md.

• Actual so far — $0.00 infra through 08.15 install-prep.
• 08.15 — live auth published; qualify BLOCKED trailing LF; INSTALL BLOCKED on V2 broker/image path (not a cloud spend item).

The 8-stage journey

Read top to bottom. Green = earned. Orange = where we are. Gray = still ahead.

Accomplishments so far (earned)

These are real. Stage 4 earned — Gate08/09/10 CLOSED; Stage 5 Gate11 CLOSED / PASS; Factory OS items 45–65 recorded (11–43 still earned; 33/36 closed via later 54/59; write class not flipped).

• Factory defined — product vision, authority split, and “GitHub is truth” rule.
• Control plane on GitHub — checkpoints, decisions, Manager/Builder/QA roles, release path.
• FR-01 verified — persistent Factory runtime proved, then safely paused with production writes off.
• Standing workshop kept — factory-runtime-01 Active in Toronto (untouched during cleanup).
• Waste stopped — short-lived Gate08 qual droplet destroyed 17 Sep 2026.
• Truth reconciled — PR #29 merged: Gate08 named as authorized focus and marked incomplete (ended the ChatGPT-vs-GitHub split story).
• Gate08.01–08.03 — offline adapter / QA / orchestration accepted (per handoff).
• Gate08 CLOSED / PASS — 08.04–08.16; Daniel closed ~19:00 EDT 18 Sep 2026.
• Gate09 canary packet — HARNESS_PASS_09.06_HOST_RECON_PASS; earlier canary-track CLOSED / PASS ~19:26 EDT 18 Sep; writes still OFF.
• Gate10 CLOSED / PASS — Bundle v1+v1.1, compose cutover, reboot recovery, rollback; close pack ~00:49 EDT 19 Sep 2026; writes still OFF.
• Gate11 CLOSED / PASS — Dependability Run #1 + Run #2 (N=3 each); close pack ~01:03 EDT 19 Sep 2026; writes still OFF.
• Factory OS items 11–20 — auth stub on main + host (PR #57) · Home cost UNAVAILABLE (PR #58) · host deploy + supervised ceremony (15–16) · Ellisbrook readiness docs / live attach NO-GO (17) · smoke host PASS (18) · host redeploy latest main (19) · durable loopback HTTP_BRIDGE on factory-runtime-01 (20).
• Factory OS items 21–30 (corrected) — FLOW-01/02 deepen (21–22) · Decision auth-gated approve (23) · conversation bar RO (24) · write-class design doc, no flip (25) · FLOW-03 DONE (26, #73) · FLOW-01 universal record DONE (28, #76). 27/29–30 host durability not re-specified this brief.
• Factory OS items 31–36 — host redeploy latest main DONE (31, auth + HTTP_BRIDGE, PAUSED) · Pages 21–30 already live (32, this repo PR #14) · Portfolio+Work closed via later 54 / #89 (33) · Teams DONE (34, #78) · FLOW-02 universal record DONE (35, #79) · FLOW-04 thin RO closed via later 59 / #94 (36). Write class named only — no flip; client products parked.
• Factory OS items 37–43 — standing host redeploy DONE (37, earlier ~53512c5) · Pages 31–36 already live (38, this repo PR #15 @ 9d91184) · Discover family shells DONE (39, #81) · Evidence & Receipts ledger DONE (40, #82 @ ca5fbb0) · Integrations shell DONE (41, #83 @ 0d7c7ca) · Home next-best-action DONE (42, #84 @ eb6fe90) · standing host Factory OS redeploy DONE (43, origin/main ca5fbb0bf5e8bad66daec9be0861bfab8f371efc includes #81–#84 · probe ANON HTTP 307 · Bridge health 200 · evidenceClass HTTP_BRIDGE).

• Director seat — BIGFIT Manager operates day-to-day; Personal COS may ping status only.
• Lane split — Grok primary on Gate08/build/operate; GPT only for roadmap thinking or named bounded tasks.

Gate 08 — publish/install V2 signing path (CLOSED / PASS)

Closed 2026-09-18 ~19:00 EDT by Daniel. Canary deferred to Gate09. Each row is a budgetable phase.

Gate 09 — paused canary (packet recorded)

After Gate 08. Canary-track (09.01–09.03) CLOSED. Latest packet HARNESS_PASS_09.06_HOST_RECON_PASS. Full Gate09 beyond this packet is not claimed. No Director keys.

Gate 10 — activation + first useful self-build (CLOSED / PASS)

Closed 2026-09-19 ~00:49 EDT by Daniel. Close pack: evidence/10_GATE_CLOSED_20260919.md. Optional ceremony scopes / Pages parked post-Gate10.

Gate 11 — supervised dependability (CLOSED / PASS)

Roadmap Stage 5. Closed 2026-09-19 ~01:03 EDT — Daniel: "close Gate 11". Stay PAUSED / productionWrites false.

Archived — ChatGPT wake path, not needed for BIGFIT Manager

Kept for reference if ever needed later. Out of the active Factory self-build path.

• Slack ordinary auto-continue — consumed A→B demo that woke/continued ChatGPT chats. Not required for Gate 08.04 or day-to-day BIGFIT Manager operation. Do not treat as live Bridge authority.

Who does what

Clear seats so the Factory does not get dual-driven.

Rules that protect the picture

• GitHub main wins when any other board disagrees.
• No unsupervised GPT overlap on Bridge state, branches, or the same live work.
• Protected actions wait for Daniel — money, signing keys, production activation, scope changes.
• Thin slices — prove 08.04–06 before installing V2 signing.
• This page is a thinking map — update it when Bridge state changes; it is not the product software.
