The Assembly Line Needs Receipts: Coordinating an Automation Factory
A practical inquiry into workflows, evidence, and AI-enabled test design
An assembly line is useful only when people can explain what entered it, what changed, and what came out. This paper asks how a generic automation factory could coordinate software work using workflows, clear evidence, and human-controlled release gates. It compares options and failure conditions instead of describing a finished system. AI-enabled test design is treated as one possible addition to established software practices.
