The AINA Factory Journey

Everything from this thread — the full conversation, the running log, every plan, design, decision, and artifact — in plain files you can open. No git, no branches, nothing to check out.

This folder is a complete, self-contained copy. Start with the two cards below. Everything else is here if you want to go deeper, organized into numbered folders.

★ THE EXPERT ANALYSIS — read this too
A 13-agent forensic read of the whole journey: original intent, every drift, what went right/wrong, and — importantly — it caught that the factory may be sitting idle right now. The unflinching version.
▶ START HERE — The Session Closeout
The 7-minute read: what was proven, where it drifted, what's preserved, the open decision, and ready-to-paste prompts for the next chats. If you read one thing, read this.
▶ The Full Conversation — every message
The entire thread rendered to readable pages (569 exchanges, 114 pages). The literal journey, start to finish, in your browser.

The story & the record

The running log
The blow-by-blow execution log — every phase, finding, and decision as it happened.
How we got here
The lineage — the prior sessions that led into this build.

Plans

The native factory plan
The committed 8-unit plan to make the factory self-drive. (all plans in 03-plans/)
Launch plan
The broader academy launch plan.

Designs

The locked design
The native self-driving factory design — the destination.
Docker + VDS designs
Containerization scope and VDS design (parked). (more in 04-designs/)

Forensics & decisions

The drift forensics
How the drift was diagnosed — the 3→61 churn evidence.
Doctrines, canon & rollbacks
Arena / content / learner-UX doctrines, founder decisions, and the rollback snapshots.

Reports & the rest

Reports & screenshots
Org reports, lane reports, UX council screenshots, landing A/B, testing evaluations.
Everything else (186 files)
The complete raw set — briefs, scripts, snapshots — nothing left out.
Earlier PKM work
The June-26 PKM sessions that preceded this thread, rendered too.
Where the live copies also live (for the record): the same docs are committed to GitHub in oscalar/pkm-monorepo (the archive + the plan + the learning) and the design system is its own repo ainative-academy/aina-design. You don't need to touch any of that — this folder is your readable copy.
