The working record behind the Foundry story.
Start with the story, then come here for the deeper rationale: the principles, architecture, Mold inventory, casting procedure, corpus approach, pipeline narrative, and infrastructure research that shape the public Foundry pages.
Foundry design records
The core rationale behind Molds, casting, corpus grounding, and source-to-target pipelines.
01 Guiding Principles The design pressure behind source authority, progressive disclosure, validation, portability, and corpus grounding. READ THE RECORD 02 Architecture Physical layout, content types, validation pipeline, generated artifacts, and site rendering. READ THE RECORD 03 Molds The Mold inventory, bucketing axes, and boundaries between Molds and reference content. READ THE RECORD 04 Compilation Pipeline How typed Mold references become target-specific cast artifacts with provenance. READ THE RECORD 05 Corpus Integration How IWC grounding works without turning the Foundry into an upstream workflow mirror. READ THE RECORD 06 Harness Pipelines The source-to-target journeys that compose Molds, loops, and branch phases. READ THE RECORD
Project infrastructure research
Developer-facing evaluations and adjacent-project notes that shape how the Foundry is built, hosted, and integrated.
