Feature Improvement Fix🛡 Security! Breaking

May 2026

Feature#5136 · #5137

Public /factory product surface

New buyer-facing landing page with hero, honest competitor comparison, live demo, and pricing tiers.

  • Comparison matrix across 20 features × 6 competitors
  • Public demo CTA (rate-limited, no signup)
  • Free/Pro/Enterprise pricing with real differentiation
  • Template gallery + docs hub
Feature#5133

Job detail Build + Audit tabs

New diagnostic tabs on /admin/factory/job/[id]. See exact compiler errors, repair attempts side-by-side, full build log, and scoped audit trail.

  • Per-cycle repair attempts with errors-before vs errors-after
  • Build summary cards: pass/fail + exit code + duration + cycle count
  • Lazy-loaded audit table with status badges + per-step durations
Improvement#5132

Cancel button works mid-build

Added onJobId callback to orchestrator so the operator UI can render the cancel button immediately after job creation, not only after completion. The cancel endpoint updates the DB status to "cancelled" and writes an audit row. Cooperative cancellation — having the orchestrator poll the status mid-run and abort an in-flight build — is still in progress, so today an already-running build completes naturally even after Cancel is hit.

Fix#5134

Resilient file writes

Orchestrator file-write step now retries on transient bridge failures, aborts cleanly on widespread failure, and emits periodic progress events.

Feature#5125

Operator UI now invokes the full orchestrator

Critical fix: the operator at /admin/factory was only parsing intent, never invoking the full build pipeline. Now streams from /orchestrate SSE end-to-end.

  • Bridge status badge in operator header
  • first-run.sh operator script for booting the Windows EC2
  • Full SSE event handling: progress, result, error, job
Feature#5109

DX/docs polish bundle

Help center at /factory/help, sample app gallery at /factory/showcase, audit drilldown helpers at /admin/factory/audit. Video tutorials, weekly digest builder, and onboarding email drip listed in the original summary did not ship and remain roadmap.

Feature

Conversational interview UX

Multi-phase operator: chat with the factory, get a visual plan review, watch the live build, see proof, download. Voice in + out throughout.

Feature

Multi-model gateway

12 models across 4 providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral). Per-message hot-swap. Tier-based default routing with budget enforcement.

Feature

Linux bridge integration

Runner-1 wired as factory build node. All 14 bridge commands implemented over SSH. Workspace isolation per job.
