# t3code factory t3code factory is a fork of [T3 Code](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/tree/main/docs/user) with a software factory built into its server. You label a GitHub issue `factory:ready`, and the factory claims it, runs an agent session in T3 to build it, runs your project's checks on the result, and leaves a draft pull request that passed them. This site documents the factory, the part of the fork that upstream T3 Code doesn't have. For T3 Code itself (projects, threads, providers, remote access), read the [T3 Code docs](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/tree/main/docs/user). - [Guide](/guide/): install the factory, point it at a repo, file work and watch it run. - [For agents](/agents/): the issue contract, config schemas, run states and scripts, as tables. The source is on GitHub: [original-solutions/t3code-factory](https://github.com/original-solutions/t3code-factory). The site's own markdown is in `factory/site/`. The site is also available as plain text for agents: [llms.txt](https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/llms.txt) lists every page, and [llms-full.txt](https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/llms-full.txt) has all of them in one file. Source: https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/ # What the factory is The factory turns a GitHub issue into a draft pull request. A person writes the issue and labels it `factory:ready`. The factory claims it, starts an agent session that builds it, runs the repo's gate (its checks) on the result, and marks the pull request ready for review once the gate passes. A person reviews and merges. The factory never merges. It runs inside the T3 Code server, as part of the same process. Each agent session is an ordinary T3 [thread](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/tree/main/docs/user/thread-sidebar.md) in its own git worktree, so you can open it in T3 and read what the agent did. ```mermaid flowchart TB subgraph server["T3 Code server process"] factory["Factory"] subgraph project["The repo's T3 project"] session["Session thread"] end end github["GitHub"] worktree["Its own git worktree"] factory -- "reads issues, sets labels,
comments, PRs" --> github factory -- "launches a session" --> project session -- "works in" --> worktree session -- "pushes a branch,
opens a draft PR" --> github ``` ## How an issue moves ```mermaid stateDiagram-v2 state "factory:proposed" as proposed state "factory:ready" as ready state "factory:triage" as triage state "factory:building" as building state "factory:needs-info" as needs_info state "factory:pr-open" as pr_open state "factory:stuck" as stuck proposed --> ready: an instructor sets ready ready --> proposed: refused, e.g. after a non-instructor edit ready --> triage: claimed triage --> building: session started triage --> needs_info: questions building --> needs_info: questions building --> pr_open: gate passed pr_open --> building: instructor feedback, or the re-gate failed triage --> stuck: failed building --> stuck: failed pr_open --> stuck: failed needs_info --> ready: an instructor sets ready again stuck --> ready: an instructor sets ready again pr_open --> [*]: pull request merged or closed ``` 1. A person files the issue and an [instructor](/guide/filing-work#instructors) sets `factory:ready`. 2. On its next pass the factory checks who set the label, assigns the issue to its own GitHub login and sets `factory:triage`. 3. It launches a session on the repo's T3 project and sets `factory:building`. The session builds the issue, opens a draft pull request and ends with a result line. 4. The factory runs the gate on a fresh checkout of the pull request. When it fails, the session gets the output and tries again, up to the repo's retry limit. 5. When the gate passes, the factory marks the pull request ready for review and sets `factory:pr-open`. It keeps watching the pull request for instructor feedback until it is merged or closed. A session that cannot build the issue asks questions (`factory:needs-info`) or gives up with a reason (`factory:stuck`). [When a run stops](/guide/when-a-run-stops) covers both. ## What it is not - It is not a separate app. The fork is upstream T3 Code plus the factory, and keeps taking upstream's changes every day. - It has no factory-specific model setting. A session runs on the default model of the repo's T3 project, falling back to the default model in T3's own Settings. See [providers](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/tree/main/docs/user/providers-claude.md) for setting one up. - It reads GitHub issues only. One machine runs one factory, acting as one GitHub login. ## Where to go next - [Install and run](/guide/install) the server. - [Add a repo](/guide/add-a-repo) for it to watch. - [File work](/guide/filing-work) it can build. Source: https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/guide/ # Install and run The factory runs in a T3 server started by a macOS LaunchAgent. The desktop app is optional: it is a window onto that server. Both are built from a clone of this repo on an Apple silicon Mac. ## Before you start - Clone [original-solutions/t3code-factory](https://github.com/original-solutions/t3code-factory) and run `vp i` in it. - Install current stable Rust (`rustup update stable`). The build compiles a small native helper. - Log in a GitHub CLI config directory as the login the factory will act as: ```sh GH_CONFIG_DIR=~/.config/t3fac/gh gh auth login GH_CONFIG_DIR=~/.config/t3fac/gh gh api user --jq .login ``` The LaunchAgent sets `GH_CONFIG_DIR` to this directory, so the server's own GitHub calls and its agent sessions act as this login. Gate commands don't inherit `GH_CONFIG_DIR` ([Add a repo](/guide/add-a-repo)); a gate that calls `gh` must set it itself. ## Install the server From a clean checkout, build and install in one step: ```sh factory/scripts/deploy.sh ``` It builds `release/t3fac--darwin-arm64.tar.gz`, smoke-tests it, then installs it: the archive is unpacked under `~/.local/share/t3fac/versions/`, `~/.local/share/t3fac/current` points at it, and the LaunchAgent `io.github.rawphp.t3fac` restarts the server on port 3876 with its data in `~/.config/t3fac`. A second LaunchAgent, `io.github.rawphp.t3fac.logrotate`, rotates the log. `deploy.sh` reuses an archive already built for the same commit. Pass `--rebuild` to build again, or `--build-only` to stop before installing. [Scripts](/agents/scripts) lists every script and its exit codes. The install waits up to 90 seconds for the server to answer on port 3876 and to log `factory started` or `no factory config`. If it doesn't, the install rolls back to the previous version and exits 1. With no [machine config](/guide/machine-config) yet, the server logs `no factory config` and the factory stays idle. ### Tools the server can see launchd gives the server only the `PATH` its plist sets, which covers Homebrew, `/usr/bin` and `vp`. Gates and sessions often need more, such as `claude`, `cargo`, `php` or `composer`. Put those in `~/.config/t3fac/env`, which the job sources before it starts the server: ```sh PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.cargo/bin" export PATH ``` Check what the running job has with `launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/io.github.rawphp.t3fac`. ## Install the desktop app ```sh vp run dist:desktop:dmg:arm64 ``` The dmg lands under `release/`. It is unsigned, so the first time you open the app, right-click it and choose Open. It installs beside upstream T3 Code as `T3 Code Factory` and shares no data with it or with the LaunchAgent server. The app's built-in server has no machine config, so its factory stays idle. Keep it that way: before you save Settings → Factory in the app, pick the LaunchAgent server's environment. Saving the form for the built-in server would start a second factory on this Mac that claims the same issues. To see the factory in the app, pair the LaunchAgent server as an environment in Settings → Connections, with a pairing link from: ```sh ~/.local/share/t3fac/current/t3 pair --base-dir ~/.config/t3fac ``` Add `--tailscale` for a link that works over your tailnet, for example from a phone's browser. The Factory pages are part of the fork's web app, so any browser paired with the server can open them. A connection through T3 Connect (the relay) doesn't reach them yet. [Remote access](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/tree/main/docs/user/remote-access.md) covers pairing in general. ## Logs | File | What it holds | | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `~/Library/Logs/t3fac/t3fac.log` | The server's output, including each factory pass. Rotated at 20 MB, five copies kept. | | `~/Library/Logs/t3fac/logrotate.log` | One line per rotation. | | `~/.config/t3fac/factory/events.jsonl` | The factory's machine log: passes, skipped repos, errors, server starts and stops. | | `~/.config/t3fac/factory/runs/.jsonl` | One ledger per run. The run's page shows it. | To tell whether the server is up: ```sh launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/io.github.rawphp.t3fac tail -n 50 ~/Library/Logs/t3fac/t3fac.log ``` No `pid` line means the job isn't running. A non-zero `last exit code` with a growing `runs` count is a crash loop. A config error is logged as `: : `, and the factory stays idle until it is fixed. ## Roll back ```sh factory/scripts/rollback.sh ``` It points `current` back at the previous version, restarts the server and runs the same health check. With no previous version it exits 1; install an older archive from `release/` with `factory/scripts/install.sh ` instead. ## Restart without installing A paired session with the `environment:maintain` scope can restart the server: ```sh curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer " http://127.0.0.1:3876/api/factory/restart ``` launchd starts it again about 10 seconds later, on the version `current` points at. A gate that was running is killed, and the next pass runs it again from a fresh checkout. Source: https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/guide/install # Add a repo The factory watches a repo when two things are true: 1. A clone of the repo is a T3 [project](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/tree/main/docs/user/project-settings.md) on the factory's server. 2. That checkout has a `.dw/config.yml` with a `factory` block. There is no list of repos to edit. Adding the project is the switch, and deleting the project is how the repo leaves. ## 1. Commit the factory block Add `.dw/config.yml` to the repo and commit it on its default branch: ```yaml factory: instructors: [alice, bob] base: main provision: [npm ci] gate: [npm test, npm run lint] limits: { gate_retries: 2 } autonomy: pr ``` The factory reads this file from the tip of the default branch on GitHub, not from your checkout, so a change takes effect once it is pushed there. A pull request can't change the gate it is checked with. | Key | Required | Default | What it does | | ----------------------------- | -------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `instructors` | yes | | GitHub logins whose `factory:ready` label, comments and edits the factory acts on. At least one. See [File work](/guide/filing-work#instructors). | | `base` | yes | | The branch pull requests target. It must be the repo's default branch, or the repo is skipped. | | `provision` | yes | | Commands that prepare a fresh checkout before the gate, such as installing dependencies. May be empty (`[]`). | | `gate` | yes | | The checks. Every command must exit 0 for a pull request to pass. At least one. | | `required_checks` | no | `[]` | Names of GitHub checks that must also pass on the gated commit before the pull request is marked ready. | | `limits.gate_retries` | yes | | How many failed gates go back to the session to fix. `0` means the first failure stops the run. | | `limits.minutes` | no | `180` | How long a run may spend building before the factory stops it. | | `limits.regates` | no | `5` | How many times the gate may run again because the base branch moved while it ran. | | `limits.checks_minutes` | no | `30` | How long to wait for `required_checks` to report. | | `limits.interruption_resumes` | no | `2` | How many times to resume a session that ended because T3 itself had trouble. | | `autonomy` | yes | | Must be `pr`: the factory stops at a pull request a person merges. | The gate runs each `provision` command, then each `gate` command, through the shell at the root of a fresh checkout of the pull request merged with the base branch. Each command has 30 minutes. The commands get only a few variables from the server's environment: `PATH`, `HOME`, `USER`, `LOGNAME`, `SHELL`, `LANG`, `TMPDIR`, `TERM` and `LC_*`. The tools they need must be on that `PATH` ([Install and run](/guide/install#tools-the-server-can-see)); any other variable has to be set by the command itself. [For agents → Repo config](/agents/repo-config) has the exact types and limits. ## 2. Add the clone as a T3 project Clone the repo somewhere the factory can use as its own, and add that folder as a project on the factory's server, from the sidebar or with: ```sh ~/.local/share/t3fac/current/t3 project add --base-dir ~/.config/t3fac ``` Then set the project's default model in its T3 settings, or rely on the default model in T3's own Settings. Every session the factory starts for this repo uses it. With neither set, nothing launches and the issue goes to `factory:stuck`. The factory names the repo by the clone's `origin` remote. Watch out for these: - A clone with an `upstream` remote is named after that remote by T3, so the factory doesn't watch it. Use a clone without one. - Two projects whose `origin` is the same repo leave it unwatched: the factory can't tell which checkout is its own. Settings → Factory names them. - One factory per repo. Two factories on different machines, or a second factory of another kind, watching the same repo would claim each other's issues. ## 3. Check it is watched Open Settings → Factory. Each watched repo is listed with its workspace root and the factory block as the last pass read it, along with any config errors. A repo the factory couldn't settle (an unreadable or half-merged `.dw/config.yml`, a checkout T3 can't name) appears under "Not settled on the last read". [Watch runs](/guide/watching-runs) has more on the page. ## 4. Create the labels The factory's GitHub login needs write access to the repo: it assigns issues, sets labels and comments, and its sessions push branches and open pull requests. The factory moves issues through seven `factory:*` labels and expects them to exist on the repo. Create any that are missing, as the factory's login or as a repo admin: ```sh repo=owner/name gh label create factory:proposed --repo $repo --color c5def5 gh label create factory:ready --repo $repo --color 0e8a16 gh label create factory:triage --repo $repo --color fbca04 gh label create factory:needs-info --repo $repo --color d93f0b gh label create factory:building --repo $repo --color 1d76db gh label create factory:pr-open --repo $repo --color 5319e7 gh label create factory:stuck --repo $repo --color b60205 ``` [File work](/guide/filing-work#labels) says what each one means. Source: https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/guide/add-a-repo # The machine config The machine config says how the factory runs on this Mac: which GitHub login it uses, how often it checks GitHub, and how much it does at once. It lives in `~/.config/t3fac/factory/config.yml`. Repos are not listed here: [Add a repo](/guide/add-a-repo) covers how a repo is watched, and the model comes from the T3 project. Without the file, the server starts and the factory stays idle. Start from [`factory/config.example.yml`](https://github.com/original-solutions/t3code-factory/blob/main/factory/config.example.yml) in the repo, or save the form at Settings → Factory with the factory's server selected, which creates it. ```yaml gh_config_dir: /Users/you/.config/t3fac/gh poll_seconds: 60 max_concurrent_runs: 1 max_concurrent_gates: 1 notify: true ``` ## Keys | Key | Required | Default | What it does | | ---------------------- | -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `gh_config_dir` | yes | | The GitHub CLI config directory the factory acts through. Write the full path: nothing in this file expands `~`. | | `poll_seconds` | no | `60` | Seconds between passes over GitHub, at least 10. A session ending or a gate finishing starts a pass at once, so this is only the longest wait for news from GitHub. | | `max_concurrent_runs` | yes | | Runs that may hold an issue at once, across every repo, at least 1. A run holds a slot from its claim until its session reports a pull request or the run ends. The gate and the wait for required checks take no run slot. | | `max_concurrent_gates` | no | `2` | Gates that may run at once, at least 1. | | `notify` | no | `true` | Posts a macOS notification when something needs a person. `false` keeps the list on the Factory page and turns the notification off. | Any other key is an error, and the factory stays idle until it is fixed. Three keys from older versions, `model_instance`, `model` and `repos`, load with a warning instead: the current version ignores them, and a save from Settings → Factory keeps them, so a rollback to a version that needs them still starts. Delete them once you won't roll back that far. ## Changing it Settings → Factory edits `gh_config_dir`, `poll_seconds`, `max_concurrent_runs` and `max_concurrent_gates`. Edit `notify` in the file by hand. A save checks the whole file with the same rules the server uses at start and refuses one that would fail, so a bad value never reaches disk from the page. The server reads the file when it starts and each time Settings → Factory saves it. It doesn't watch the file, so a hand edit takes effect at the next save from the page or the next restart. What a save changes without a restart: | Change | Takes effect | | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `poll_seconds` | At once: a save starts a pass, and the next wait uses the new value. | | `max_concurrent_runs`, `max_concurrent_gates` | From the next pass. A pass already running finishes with the old values. | | `notify` | For the next item that needs attention. | | `gh_config_dir` | For the factory's own GitHub calls, from the next pass. Agent sessions take their login from the server's `GH_CONFIG_DIR` instead, which the LaunchAgent sets. Change both together: edit `GH_CONFIG_DIR` in `factory/launchd/io.github.rawphp.t3fac.plist` in your clone, then run `factory/scripts/install.sh release/t3fac--darwin-arm64.tar.gz` on the archive already built, which writes the plist from the edited file and restarts the server. `deploy.sh` refuses the uncommitted edit, so commit it first if you deploy instead. A session that runs as another login stops the run with `factory:stuck`. | A file that fails to load, at start or after a hand edit and restart, leaves the factory idle with the errors in the log and on the Factory page as an item that needs attention. Source: https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/guide/machine-config # File work Work for the factory is a GitHub issue on a [watched repo](/guide/add-a-repo). The session copies the issue body as its brief and builds exactly that, so the issue has to say what done looks like. ## Write the issue Use four headings: ```md ## Outcome What is true when this is done, in a few sentences. ## Acceptance criteria 1. Each one checkable: a command that exits 0, a page that shows something, a file that exists. ## Depends on None. ## Notes Constraints, pointers into the code, and anything out of scope. ``` Keep one change per issue. When an issue holds two independent pieces of work, or leaves a real product choice open, the session stops and asks instead of guessing (see [needs-info](/guide/when-a-run-stops#needs-info)). [For agents → Issue contract](/agents/issue-contract) has the rules in table form. ## Instructors An instructor is a GitHub login listed under `instructors` in the repo's `.dw/config.yml`. Logins match without regard to case, and a bot or GitHub App never counts, even when listed. Instructors decide what the factory does: - Only an instructor's `factory:ready` label starts a run. - An instructor's comments on the issue are sent to the running session as instructions. Anyone else's comments are ignored. - An instructor may edit the issue at any time. An edit by anyone else after the label stops the work (see [Editing after ready](#editing-after-ready)). - On an open pull request, reviews and comments from instructors, on the pull request or the issue, are feedback the factory acts on. ## Labels An issue carries one `factory:*` label at a time. People set two of them; the factory sets the rest. | Label | Set by | Meaning | | -------------------- | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `factory:proposed` | a person, a bot, or the factory | Parked. The factory ignores it. It moves an issue here when it refuses to start one, with a comment saying why. | | `factory:ready` | an instructor | Build this. The factory claims it on its next pass, unless someone is assigned, a dependency is open, claims are paused or every run slot is taken. | | `factory:triage` | the factory | Claimed. The issue is assigned to the factory's login and a session is being launched. | | `factory:building` | the factory | A session is building it. | | `factory:needs-info` | the factory | The session asked questions, posted as a comment. The issue is unassigned. | | `factory:pr-open` | the factory | A pull request passed the gate and is ready for review. | | `factory:stuck` | the factory | The factory gave up and said why in a comment. The issue is unassigned. | To start again after `needs-info` or `stuck`, an instructor sets `factory:ready` again. Each time is a new run. Don't assign the issue to anyone if you want the factory to take it. An assigned `factory:ready` issue is skipped. ## Dependency links When an issue can't start until another one is done, say so in one of two ways: - **A GitHub "blocked by" link** on the issue. This is the one to prefer. - **The `## Depends on` section**, with references written `#12` for this repo or `owner/repo#12` for another. Full URLs aren't read. `None.` or an empty section means no dependencies. The factory checks both when it is about to claim. While any dependency is open, the issue waits as `factory:ready` and takes no slot. A dependency counts as done when its issue is closed, for any reason. The check happens only before the claim: closing or reopening a dependency later doesn't affect a run already under way. ## Editing after ready | When | An instructor edits or comments | Someone else edits the body or title | | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `factory:ready`, not yet claimed | Fine. | The factory refuses to start, moves the issue to `factory:proposed` and comments. An instructor reviews the text and sets `factory:ready` again. | | `factory:triage` or `factory:building` | A body edit is sent to the session, which goes back to its contract with the new text. A comment is sent as an instruction it applies at its next step. | The run stops with `factory:stuck`. | | `factory:pr-open` | A comment on the issue or the pull request, or a review, starts a new session on the pull request's branch. The pull request goes back to draft and the issue to `factory:building`. The factory looks for feedback at most every 10 minutes. An edit to the issue on its own isn't feedback, so comment as well. | The run stops with `factory:stuck` when the factory next acts on it. | Closing the issue ends a run that hasn't reached `factory:pr-open`: the factory archives the session and writes nothing on GitHub. Source: https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/guide/filing-work # Watch runs The fork's web app has a Factory page, reached from the sidebar. It shows the factory of the first connected environment that reports one running, the primary environment first, so in the desktop app it shows the LaunchAgent server once you have [paired it](/guide/install#install-the-desktop-app). Reading needs a normal paired session. Pausing claims, stopping a run and dismissing an item need the `orchestration:operate` scope, which a normal pairing carries. The pages work in a phone's browser too, paired over your tailnet as described in [remote access](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/tree/main/docs/user/remote-access.md). The T3 mobile app is upstream's build and has no Factory screen. ## The Factory page The Factory page: two Needs attention items above the runs table, with one run each building, needs-info, pr-open and stuck, and a finished run, each with its step, age and pull request The Factory page: two Needs attention items above the runs table, with one run each building, needs-info, pr-open and stuck, and a finished run, each with its step, age and pull request Use it to see what the factory is doing now. It lists every unfinished run and the runs that finished in the last week, newest first, with each run's repo, issue, state, current step, age and pull request. Show all runs to read the full history. It refreshes every 30 seconds. It also says when the factory is idle and why (no machine config, or one that failed to load), and lets you pause claims. While claims are paused the factory takes no new `factory:ready` issues in any repo. Runs already under way carry on: sessions, gates and feedback all continue. Resume to start claiming again. ## A run's page A pr-open run's page: its state and step, the Thread link, the last gate's commands with exit code 0, and the ledger, where gate attempt 1 failed and was sent back before attempt 2 passed A pr-open run's page: its state and step, the Thread link, the last gate's commands with exit code 0, and the ledger, where gate attempt 1 failed and was sent back before attempt 2 passed Open a run from the list to see why it is where it is. The page shows the run's state and step, links to its T3 thread so you can read the session, and shows the last gate: each command with its exit code and duration, and the failure output the factory sent back to the session. Below that is the run's ledger, every event the factory recorded for it, in order. A run in `factory:building` can be stopped from here. See [Stopping a run by hand](/guide/when-a-run-stops#stopping-a-run-by-hand). ## Needs attention The Needs attention list: a needs-info item and a stuck item, each with View run and Dismiss, and Dismiss all above them The Needs attention list: a needs-info item and a stuck item, each with View run and Dismiss, and Dismiss all above them The top of the Factory page lists what needs a person, and the sidebar's Factory item shows how many. An item is raised when: - a run went to `factory:stuck` or `factory:needs-info`, - a run is holding a slot but nothing will move it, for example its label was changed by hand, - the machine config failed to load, - three passes in a row failed. Each item links to its run, or to Settings → Factory for a config problem. Each new item also posts a macOS notification, as does a run abandoned because its issue was closed, on the server's Mac, unless `notify` is `false` in the [machine config](/guide/machine-config). An item clears itself when its cause goes away: the config loads, a pass succeeds, the issue is claimed again. Dismiss an item to hide it once you've dealt with it. A dismissed item stays hidden until its cause clears and comes back. ## Settings → Factory Settings, Factory: the machine config form with the GitHub config directory, poll seconds and the run and gate limits, then Watched repos, empty because no T3 project here has a factory block Settings, Factory: the machine config form with the GitHub config directory, poll seconds and the run and gate limits, then Watched repos, empty because no T3 project here has a factory block Use it to change the [machine config](/guide/machine-config) and to check which repos are watched. The form edits the GitHub config directory, the poll interval and the run and gate limits, and saves to `~/.config/t3fac/factory/config.yml`. Saving needs a session that may change settings. Below the form, each watched repo is shown with its T3 project's folder and its `factory` block as the last pass read it from GitHub, including any errors that stop the factory using it. Repos the factory couldn't settle on its last read are listed separately with the reason. [Add a repo](/guide/add-a-repo) explains what makes a repo watched. Source: https://t3code-factory-docs.originalsolutions.com.au/guide/watching-runs # When a run stops Most runs end at `factory:pr-open`. The rest end in one of two labels, each with a comment on the issue that says what happened. Either way the factory archives the session's T3 thread and removes its worktree, and keeps the branch. ## needs-info A needs-info run's page: no gate has run, and the ledger's questions_posted line holds the questions the session posted on the issue A needs-info run's page: no gate has run, and the ledger's questions_posted line holds the questions the session posted on the issue The session decided the issue can't be built as written: the outcome is unclear, two readings would give different code, or the issue holds two separate pieces of work. It ends with its questions, and the factory posts them as a comment, sets `factory:needs-info` and unassigns the issue. Answer in a comment or edit the issue so it settles every question, then an instructor sets `factory:ready`. The factory doesn't read the answer by itself: the label starts a new run, which reads the issue from the top. ## stuck The factory gave up. The comment gives the reason and, when the session had made commits, the branch they are on. Common reasons: | Reason | What to do | | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | The gate failed after the allowed attempts | Read the gate output on the [run's page](/guide/watching-runs#a-run-s-page), fix the cause or the issue, then set `factory:ready`. | | The run passed its time limit | Split the issue, or raise `limits.minutes` in `.dw/config.yml`. | | The session gave up, or ended without a result line | Read the session in its T3 thread. | | The issue text was changed by someone who isn't an instructor | Review the text, then set `factory:ready`. | | The session ran as the wrong GitHub account | Restart the server so it has the right `GH_CONFIG_DIR` (see [the machine config](/guide/machine-config#changing-it)). | | The required checks failed, or didn't report in time | Check the repo's CI and `required_checks`. | | No model to launch with | Set a default model on the T3 project or in T3's Settings. | | Stopped by hand | Nothing: someone stopped it. | Fix the cause, then an instructor sets `factory:ready` to start a new run. A new run starts from the base branch, not from the old branch. ## The time limit Each run may spend `limits.minutes` (180 by default) claimed and building. Time waiting at `factory:pr-open` doesn't count. Past the limit, the factory stops the session and sets `factory:stuck` with the reason "the run passed its time limit". Other limits in the repo's [factory block](/guide/add-a-repo#_1-commit-the-factory-block) cap the gate retries, the gate reruns when the base branch moves, and the wait for required checks. Each ends the run with `factory:stuck` when it runs out. If T3 itself had trouble (the server restarted, or several sessions failed at once), the factory resumes the session instead of giving up, up to `limits.interruption_resumes` times. A session someone stopped in T3 waits rather than counting as a failure. ## Stopping a run by hand A run in `factory:building` can be stopped from its [run page](/guide/watching-runs#a-run-s-page), or on the server's Mac with: ```sh factory/scripts/stop-run.sh ``` The run id is on the Factory page, for example `original-solutions__t3code-factory__20__1`. On its next pass the factory archives the session, removes the worktree and sets `factory:stuck` with the reason "stopped by hand". If a gate is running for the run, the stop waits for it. A run in any other state can't be stopped this way. The script and the page say why and what to do instead. ## Abandoning a run Close the issue. A run that hasn't reached `factory:pr-open` is abandoned on the next pass: the factory archives the session, removes the worktree and writes nothing on GitHub. The server's Mac gets a notification that the run was abandoned. A run at `factory:pr-open` ends when its pull request is merged or closed. Close the pull request to end it early.

It does not improve it. - One change per issue. - The server parses only `## Depends on`. The other headings are for the session. ## Labels One `factory:*` label at a time. Matched exactly, case-sensitive. | Label | Set by | Colour | Factory action | | -------------------- | -------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `factory:proposed` | person, bot, factory | `c5def5` | None. Refused approvals land here. | | `factory:ready` | instructor | `0e8a16` | Claim on next pass if unassigned, approved, unblocked, not paused, slot free. | | `factory:triage` | factory | `fbca04` | Assigned to the factory login; session launching. | | `factory:building` | factory | `1d76db` | Session running; instructor comments and edits forwarded. | | `factory:needs-info` | factory | `d93f0b` | Questions posted; issue unassigned; run finished. | | `factory:pr-open` | factory | `5319e7` | PR passed the gate and is ready; instructor feedback relaunches. | | `factory:stuck` | factory | `b60205` | Reason posted; issue unassigned; run finished. | Restart from `needs-info` or `stuck`: an instructor sets `factory:ready`. That is a new run. ## Approval A claim needs all of: | Rule | Failing it | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | The latest `factory:ready` label event was applied by a login in `instructors` (case-insensitive), of type User. | Moved to `factory:proposed` with a comment. | | No body edit or title change by a non-instructor at or after that label event. | Moved to `factory:proposed` with a comment. | | The edit history is short enough to judge. | Moved to `factory:proposed`; file a new issue. | | No assignee. | Skipped. | | Issue open. | Skipped. | ## Dependencies | Source | Syntax | Read | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | GitHub "blocked by" link | native issue relationship | first | | `## Depends on` section | `#12`, `owner/repo#12`, anywhere in the section until the next heading | when no linked blocker is open | - `None.`, empty, or no section: no dependencies. - Not recognised: full URLs, `word#12`, `#` without digits. - Resolved: the issue is closed, for any reason. Open: blocks. - A reference that cannot be read blocks. - At most 100 references. - Checked only before the claim. A blocked issue stays `factory:ready`, takes no slot, and nothing is written to GitHub. ## Instructors after the claim | State | Instructor comment | Instructor body edit | Non-instructor body or title edit | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------- | | `triage`, `building` | Forwarded to the session (max 20,000 characters). | Sent whole; session restarts its contract. | `factory:stuck` | | `pr-open` | On issue or PR, or a PR review: new session on the PR branch, PR to draft, label to `building`. Read at most every 10 minutes. | Not read as feedback; comment instead. | `factory:stuck` when next acted on. | An instructor comment whose edit history includes a non-instructor is not forwarded; the factory comments that it did not send it. ## What sends an issue to needs-info The build session decides, and ends with `FACTORY-STOP: needs-info` when: - the outcome or the acceptance criteria are missing, - two readings would give different code, - a real product choice is left open, - the issue holds two independent units of work. The session asks every question at once, each answerable in a sentence.
