dms-hand Weapon

Procedural arsenal for dms-hand, the pipeline-controller Guardian that consumes one row from the Guild AI Tools Factory queue per invocation and drives it through the canonical Guardian-forging pipeline.

This weapon is intentionally narrow. It encodes:

• The strict FIFO pickup protocol against ai-tools/proposed-guardians-queue.md.
• The move-before-work invariant that prevents sibling factory agents from racing on the same row.
• The five-phase dispatch order (command-center -> loremaster -> weapon-forge -> guardian-creator -> dm-registrar) with explicit success and failure checks per phase.
• The row-format contracts for all four tracking files.
• The close-out lifecycle that transitions a row from in-process to completed and flips the backlog checkbox to [x].
• The failure-mode catalog with explicit recovery actions.
• The reporting contract for the final summary message.

It does NOT encode any product-domain knowledge. The worker phases own all substantive content.
