Architecture
The conceptual Software Factory architecture and control plane.
Control plane
A human stakeholder interacts with Hermes. Hermes uses a durable Kanban board to preserve scope, dependencies, state, handoffs, and review evidence across role-specific profiles.
Profile workers
Profiles perform specialized work: product management, building, reviewing, orchestration, documentation, and release/publishing. Each profile receives only the skills and authority needed for its role.
Sprites and pi-sprite
Sprites provide isolated runtime targets. pi-sprite workers can run coding tasks against sprite environments when the workflow assigns that work. During the current phase, builder-owned workflows are responsible for sprite mutations.
Public artifacts
Public docs and generated profile distributions are intentionally separated from private operational state. The public surface explains concepts and installable artifacts without exposing live internals.
