📖What it means
The autonomous build machine as a whole: the queue, the lanes, the watchers and the reviewers that take a filed initiative and turn it into shipped work. It has one master switch, and ONLY the operator may change its machinery — switch off first, repair, verify, switch on, watch the first tick.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Lane
The pipeline is the whole machine; a lane is one route through it.
Not: Planner
The pipeline includes the bypass lanes too; the planner is only the autonomous one.
