Factories-as-code: Zach Lloyd's open, composable stack for agent factories

- Zach Lloyd argues software factories should run on an open, composable, code-defined infrastructure stack: open = works with any model, agent, and hosting setup; composable = adopt part or all; defined in code = versioned, testable, revertible factory state.
- Concretely: define agent infrastructure in a version-controlled factory.yaml covering agent config, runners, repo access, integrations (Slack, Jira), webhooks (Grafana, Sentry), and automation triggers (crons, taskboard changes, PR updates).
- samgoodwin89 quipped that this sounds like his project alchemyrun.
