// the forge
Spec in, artifact out
Every artifact is hammered through one pipeline:
Blueprint→
Materials→
Assembly→
Verification→
Deployment
…and sorted into one of six classes, by scale:
I
Script
II
Service
III
Application
IV
Federation
V
Infrastructure
VI
Civilization
// the diaspora · eight stages
The forge, built in the open
Each capability was forged as its own self-contained module — its own package, its own self-test, its own dashboard. Gathered here, in order:
// run it
No install. Pure standard library.
# pick a stage and work inside it (Python ≥ 3.10) cd stages/05-forge-intelligence python selftest.py python -m hephaestus.cli demo python -m hephaestus.cli build "create live operator dashboard with workflow and reports" python -m hephaestus.cli dashboard # writes web/index.html
Every stage ships a selftest.py; CI runs all eight on Linux on every push. (On Windows, a temp-cleanup / path quirk can surface after the test logic completes — a platform artifact, not a logic failure.)
