LEFBCEL Factory
Mission
A clearly bounded capability.
A planned Ledger Engineering Factory capability in the Ledger, State & Cryptography domain. The Factory belongs to the “Ledger, State & Cryptography” area and connects to the Blockchain Engineering Lab through versioned contracts.
Goal and vision
Domain depth, connected to the platform.
The Factory packages this specialist capability as an installable, versioned component. It is governed by the Lab Core and connected through explicit interfaces, permissions and lifecycle contracts.
The Lab is an autonomous part of the Orthevs engineering system. It combines its specialist capabilities through versioned contracts and reuses shared platform services for identity, policy, audit, events and artifacts.
Technical execution
Factory, tool and engine have different roles.
The Factory encapsulates the domain capability and its lifecycle. Tools provide usable technical functions; engines perform specialized processing or execution. Concrete mappings are stated per Factory concept and release.
Engines
Reusable execution components operate behind the Factory contract and remain replaceable.
EnginesPractice
Use cases
- Model the capability as a reproducible engineering workflow.
- Compare variants through defined criteria, simulations and evidence.
- Produce typed, versioned artifacts for downstream workflows.
- Integrate the capability into cross-Lab process chains through documented contracts.
Outcomes
Planned artifacts and responsibility
The documentation describes the domain target model. Concrete implementations are expected to produce typed, versioned and verifiable results.
Planned artifacts
- factory.manifest.yaml for identity, version, runtime, permissions and dependencies.
- Versioned API, event and capability contracts.
- Typed schemas for inputs, outputs, evidence and provenance.
- Implementation, adapters and runtime integration.
- Contract, lifecycle, security and integration tests.
Domain responsibility
- Own the domain logic and its technical boundaries.
- Validate inputs, outputs and lifecycle transitions.
- Publish evidence, status and provenance for every relevant run.
- Remain compatible with the Lab and platform contracts it declares.
Integration
Factory Contract
The capability remains installable and replaceable by explicitly describing identity, lifecycle, interfaces, security and observability.
- Identity and manifest with Factory ID, version, maintainer and trust origin.
- Lifecycle with installation, initialization, start, stop, upgrade and health states.
- Versioned capability interfaces including errors, timeouts and compatibility.
- Artifact contracts for schemas, versions, checksums and provenance.
- Execution constraints for runtime, compute, storage, scaling and timeouts.
- Security rules for permissions, secrets, isolation and audit events.
- Observability through logs, metrics, traces, health and correlation IDs.
Responsibility boundaries
Boundaries and interaction
The Factory stays within its declared domain boundary and uses platform-wide identity, secrets, policy, audit, events and artifact storage only through documented Orthevs contracts.
