Code Factory 0.17.2 — visual proof line
This patch release adds a truthful, accessible nine-stage concept gallery for the Code Factory workflow while preserving the existing exact-UI walkthrough as the product evidence anchor.
Added
- Nine owner-supplied concept illustrations: idea intake through verified release.
- SHA-256, dimensions, order, alt text, captions, and provenance in one packaged manifest.
- A complete visual walkthrough for GitHub, PyPI source copy, Product Hunt preparation, and Zenodo archives.
- A three-panel storefront preview and a copy-ready Product Hunt upload order.
- All nine illustrations as versioned GitHub release assets.
Evidence boundary
The new artwork is labeled Concept illustrations. It is not presented as shipped UI or measured outcome evidence. The exact Factory Studio video remains separately labeled Exact shipped UI.
The supplied infographic with unsupported outcome numbers was intentionally excluded from public surfaces.
Verification
- 194 tests passed locally.
- CI passed across Python 3.10–3.12 on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Wheel and source distribution passed
twine check. - The source archive contains all nine PNGs, both gallery documents, and the SHA-256 manifest.
- Strict Code Factory doctor, HSF topology, Forge smoke/challenge, and publication-contract checks passed.
