# 2026-09-16 Factory private batch helper

## Work Done

At the user's request, renamed FactoryDeployment.run_batch to \_run_batch in
`~/work/factory-framework`. Updated CLI, memory backend, tests and README references.
This changes visibility convention only; public infer still dispatches work and
the private helper executes one batch. No compatibility alias was retained.

## Pitfalls

The previous public helper made the two meanings of inference confusing.

## Improvements

Keep direct worker execution internal; the service's infer remains the inference
implementation and the deployment's infer remains the public dispatch operation.
