Software-factory guidance ships and becomes default-enabled. The shipped recipe assembles catalog stations for issue-to-PR, review and triage, with checkpoints, credentials and backend-capability requirements. It is default-enabled guidance from extensions v0.32.0. Default-enabled text does not mean unattended jobs start merely by installing Canvas.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: capability. Date: 2026-10-19 (extensions v0.31.0); 2026-10-20 (v0.32.0; Canvas v1.29.0).

Operator consequence: Try a bounded repository setup and review the profiles, credentials and jobs it proposes when invoked. This reduces custom onboarding and automation assembly, while deciding which jobs deserve unattended authority remains human work. The livestream outcome is still unverified; this released recipe is independent evidence of packaged capability.
