factory-runbook

What this skill does

factory-runbook is the shared run mechanics of the software factory. It has two halves:

1. Publish procedure (below) — the deterministic branch → commit → push → draft-MR/PR sequence every factory run ends with. Factory orchestrators invoke this skill for their publish step; it is also directly usable to post a run's changes.
2. Run contracts (references/) — the executor loop, tracker integration, lanes, brief/provider templates, and run-context rules that factory skills borrow by path instead of copying.

It never approves or merges. The engine's gate after the step is the approval.
