#2821 software-factory: decide its future at gatorwalk-factory go-live: PR #318, support window, deprecation

Opened by skunk-ape · 9/30/2026

Decide what happens to @swamp/software-factory when gatorwalk-factory goes live (target 2026-10-14), and do it.

State today:

  • Last published version 2026.09.24.2 (#316).
  • #916, the driving-agent wedge (atalanta), is in_progress with PR #318 unmerged. Per the field study it was about 14 hours in and not green. It also adds a second : gate id, which reintroduces the Windows path problem (#2290).
  • #2526, run data leaking between dash-prefixed work items, is closed, but its separator fix never landed on software-factory main.
  • Users: HiveMQ (bixu, ynm) at production scale, a fork by mgreten, and several small users (brucejo75, david_workingmemory, annie, mtaylor and others). Registry pulls are high.

Decide:

  1. PR #318: merge it, fix it smaller, or close it with a stated workaround.
  2. Whether any other open software-factory issues get fixes before the freeze.
  3. The support window: how long software-factory gets security and critical fixes, and when it is marked deprecated in the registry.
  4. Migration: whether there is a tool or only a guide (paired with the docs issue). Is HiveMQ offered help directly?

Out of scope: new software-factory features.

Done when:

  • the decisions above are recorded in software-factory's README and changelog;
  • the deprecation notice is ready to publish alongside go-live;
  • PR #318 is resolved;
  • open software-factory issues are each triaged as fix, won't-fix or superseded by gatorwalk, with a comment.

Deferred by Seth on 2026-10-02: not needed for stagecraft's first release, and no longer blocking #2820.

Closing for now (Seth, 2026-10-05): deferred past stagecraft's first release and not blocking anything today. The software-factory deprecation decision still needs making; this will be reopened or refiled when it is taken up. State at close: software-factory last published 2026.09.24.2, #916 still in_progress with PR #318 unmerged, HiveMQ and others on it in production.
