Developer guide

Start by identifying which part of SkyEngine owns the change. The SkyEngine source repository is organized as follows:

Area	Source entry
Interface and views	application/frontend/
Platform APIs	application/backend/server.py
Factory lifecycle and proxies	application/backend/core/
Containerized grid simulation	sky_executor/grid_factory/
PacketFactory environment	executor/packet_factory/
Experiment infrastructure	experiment/
Factory examples and datasets	config/, dataset/

Factory proxy lifecycle methods, simulation decisions, and experiment plugins belong to different interfaces. An algorithm extension does not automatically require a new factory proxy.

See the system architecture for the responsibilities of the platform, factory, and algorithm components.
