Factory

Factory is a compile-time-safe, container-based DI system for Swift. It avoids codegen and runtime registration ceremony by making each registration a computed property on a container — if the property doesn't exist, the call site doesn't compile.

Use this skill as the reference when working with Factory code. The authoritative source is the DocC catalog at Sources/FactoryKit/FactoryKit.docc/; this skill condenses and organizes it.

Module names

The package ships these products:

• FactoryKit — the library. Import this in app/library code: import FactoryKit.
• FactoryKitDynamic — a dynamic-library variant of the same target, for multi-module setups that need a single shared copy.
• FactoryTesting — Swift Testing traits. Import in test targets: import FactoryTesting.

The library is named FactoryKit (not Factory) so the import doesn't collide with the Factory type.

Do not add FactoryKit to the test target. Add only FactoryTesting — it depends on FactoryKit, so the test target sees your factory types transitively. Copying FactoryKit directly into the test target creates duplicate factories and indeterminate behavior.

Core mental model

Three things to keep straight:

1. A Factory<T> is a transient value — a struct that's built fresh every time you read its computed property and discarded right after. Treat it like a SwiftUI View. Do not cache it in a lazy var; that creates a retain cycle on the container.
2. The container (not the Factory) owns registrations and scope caches. If the container deallocs, its registrations and caches go with it. Singletons are the exception — they're global.
3. Modifiers (.singleton, .cached, .onTest, etc.) re-apply on every read of the computed property. The innermost (factory-defined) value wins by default. See "The Factory wins" below.

Defining factories

Standard factory

import FactoryKit

extension Container {
    var myService: Factory<MyServiceType> {
        self { MyService() }            // sugar — ManagedContainer.callAsFunction
    }
}

Equivalent long form:

extension Container {
    var myService: Factory<MyServiceType> {
        Factory(self) { MyService() }
    }
}

The sugar (self { ... }) is @inlinable @inline(__always), so there's no perf cost.

Constructor injection

Factories can pull their own dependencies from the same container:

extension Container {
    var repository: Factory<Repository> {
        self { Repository(network: self.network()) }
    }
    var network: Factory<Networking> {
        self { LiveNetwork() }.singleton
    }
}

Parameters — ParameterFactory<P, T>

When a service needs a runtime value:

extension Container {
    var paramService: ParameterFactory<Int, ParamService> {
        self { ParamService(value: $0) }
    }
}

let svc = Container.shared.paramService(42)

Multi-parameter: use a tuple, dict, or struct.

var twoArg: ParameterFactory<(Int, String), Service> {
    self { (a, b) in Service(a: a, b: b) }
}

@Injected does not work with ParameterFactory — there's no way to feed parameters into the property wrapper at init. Resolve from the container directly, or use the global dependency(\.path, parameter: ...).

By default, scoping a ParameterFactory caches the first resolved value and returns it for all subsequent calls regardless of parameter. To cache per-parameter (parameter must be Hashable):

var paramService: ParameterFactory<Int, ParamService> {
    self { ParamService(value: $0) }.scopeOnParameters.cached
}

Optional / promised factories (cross-module pattern)

When a protocol is declared in module P but the implementation lives in module B that P can't see, declare an optional factory in P and wire it from the app:

// Module P (protocol-only)
extension Container {
    var accountLoader: Factory<AccountLoading?> { promised() }
}

// App target — has visibility into both P and B
extension Container: @retroactive AutoRegistering {
    func autoRegister() {
        accountLoader.register { AccountLoader() }   // from module B
    }
}

promised() returns nil in release if no registration exists, and fatalErrors in DEBUG to surface the wiring bug. Prefer promised() over Factory<T?> { self { nil } } and never over Factory<T?> { self { fatalError() } } — promise is the safe alternative to fatal-on-resolve.

A ParameterFactory overload of promised() exists for parameterized cross-module factories.

Same-type / multiple instances

Factory keys are derived from the property name (via #function) plus type, so this works fine:

extension Container {
    var heading: Factory<String> { self { "Heading" } }
    var subhead: Factory<String> { self { "Subhead" } }
}

Resolving

Five ways to get an instance, all equivalent for unscoped factories:

// 1. Service-locator on shared container
let svc = Container.shared.myService()

// 2. From a passed container instance
init(container: Container) { self.svc = container.myService() }

// 3. Property wrapper (resolves on init)
@Injected(\.myService) var svc

// 4. Lazy property wrapper (resolves on first access)
@LazyInjected(\.myService) var svc

// 5. Global function (handy in nonisolated classes)
let svc: MyServiceType = dependency(\.myService)
let p   = dependency(\.paramService, parameter: 42)

callAsFunction() is the sugar; the explicit form is myService.resolve().

Property wrappers

Wrapper	Resolves	Notes
@Injected(\.x)	At init	Eager. Standard choice.
@LazyInjected(\.x)	First access	Use when the dep is heavy or might not be needed. Safe for breaking circular deps.
@WeakLazyInjected(\.x)	First access	Holds weakly. Use for delegate/parent refs to avoid retain cycles. Wrapped value is T?.
@DynamicInjected(\.x)	Every access	Re-resolves the factory each time the property is read. If the dep is stateful, give it a .cached/.singleton scope or you'll get a fresh instance per access.
@InjectedObject(\.x)	At init	SwiftUI only. Wraps StateObject<T: ObservableObject>. View owns the object.
@InjectedObservable(\.x)	First access	iOS 17+. For @Observable types. Backed by @State; thunked so it's resolved once per view lifetime.
@InjectedContainer / @InjectedContainer(MyContainer.self)	At init	Inject a container reference.
@InjectedType	At init	Type-only resolution; requires a Resolving container (see Resolver mode). Optional T?.

All wrappers accept either \.x (default Container) or \CustomContainer.x.

The projected value of @Injected/@LazyInjected/@WeakLazyInjected exposes .factory, .resolve(reset:), and (for the lazy ones) .resolvedOrNil().

deinit { $myService.resolvedOrNil()?.cleanup() }    // doesn't force resolution

When using @Observable (Observation framework), Factory's wrappers must be marked @ObservationIgnored:

@MainActor @Observable
class ContentViewModel {
    @ObservationIgnored @Injected(\.myService) private var service
    var results: Results = .empty
}

The README and DocC describe a @Dependency(\.x) macro (a FactoryMacros companion library) that generates injected stored properties at the class declaration site. That macro is not part of this package build (the package has no FactoryMacros target). Until it ships here, use the @Injected wrappers or the global dependency(\.x) functions.

Scopes

Scope = lifetime of resolved instances.

Scope	Behavior	Reset by
.unique (default)	New instance every resolve	n/a
.cached	One per container, until cache reset	container.manager.reset(scope: .cached)
.shared	Weak ref per container; lives only while someone holds strong ref	release strong refs
.singleton	One globally — not tied to any container	Scope.singleton.reset()
.graph	One per resolution cycle	automatic at cycle end
.scope(.custom)	User-defined Cached() instance	container.manager.reset(scope: .custom)

Apply with modifier syntax:

self { MyService() }.cached
self { MyService() }.singleton
self { Reachability() }.shared.decorator { print("created \($0)") }

.graph — single-resolution-cycle caching

Use when one concrete type implements multiple protocols and you want a single instance shared across the protocol-typed factories during one resolve:

extension Container {
    var consumer:  Factory<Consumer>           { self { Consumer() } }
    var idProvider: Factory<IDProviding>       { self { commonImpl() } }
    var valueProvider: Factory<ValueProviding> { self { commonImpl() } }
    private var commonImpl: Factory<IDProviding & ValueProviding> {
        self { CommonImpl() }.graph
    }
}

Resolving consumer() will inject the same CommonImpl into both idProvider and valueProvider. Resolving the wrappers separately (e.g. via @Injected in two properties on a hand-constructed Consumer) starts two cycles and gets two instances. The graph requires a single root resolve.

Custom scopes

extension Scope {
    static let session = Cached()
}

extension Container {
    var authenticatedUser: Factory<User> {
        self { User() }.scope(.session)
    }
}

func logout() {
    Container.shared.manager.reset(scope: .session)
}

Define custom scopes with let, not static var — the latter raises Swift concurrency warnings.

Time to live

self { AuthSession() }.scope(.session).timeToLive(60 * 20)   // 20 min

The cached value is discarded on the next resolve after the TTL expires. A successful resolve before expiry refreshes the timestamp.

Default scope per container

extension Container: @retroactive AutoRegistering {
    func autoRegister() {
        manager.defaultScope = .cached     // any unscoped factory becomes cached
    }
}

Singleton caveats

• Singletons survive Container.shared.reset() because they're global.
• .register { ... } on a singleton normally clears its cache. Inside an autoRegister block this clearing is suppressed (otherwise multi-container apps would defeat the singleton).
• For test isolation under Swift Testing, the .container trait wraps Scope.$singleton.withValue(Scope.singleton.clone()) so singletons are isolated per test.

Containers

The default Container

public final class Container: SharedContainer, @unchecked Sendable {
    @TaskLocal public static var shared = Container()
    public let manager: ContainerManager = ContainerManager()
    public init() {}
}

Container.shared is @TaskLocal. That's what makes parallel Swift Testing work — TaskLocal.withValue(...) swaps the shared container for the duration of a task.

Custom containers

public final class PaymentsContainer: SharedContainer {
    @TaskLocal public static var shared = PaymentsContainer()
    public let manager = ContainerManager()
}

extension PaymentsContainer {
    var processor: Factory<PaymentProcessing> { self { Stripe() }.singleton }
}

Rules:

• final class
• conforms to SharedContainer (which extends ManagedContainer)
• @TaskLocal public static var shared
• public let manager = ContainerManager()

Use \CustomContainer.x keypaths to inject from it: @Injected(\PaymentsContainer.processor).

You can also extend SharedContainer itself to expose a factory on every container type:

extension SharedContainer {
    var common: Factory<Common> { self { Common() } }
}

Reaching across containers

Just spell out the path:

extension PaymentsContainer {
    var something: Factory<Something> {
        self { Something(net: Container.shared.network()) }
    }
}

AutoRegistering

autoRegister() runs once per container instance, before the first factory on that container resolves. Use it to set up overrides, contexts, default scope, cross-module wiring.

extension Container: @retroactive AutoRegistering {
    public func autoRegister() {
        accountLoader.register { AccountLoader() }
        myService.onArg("mock1") { MockServiceN(1) }
        manager.defaultScope = .cached
    }
}

The @retroactive is required (Swift 6) since AutoRegistering and Container come from the same imported module — it silences the conformance warning.

reset(options: .all) re-arms the auto-register flag, so autoRegister() runs again after a full reset.

Reset / push / pop

container.myService.reset()                     // single factory: registration + scope
container.manager.reset()                       // everything (== container.reset())
container.manager.reset(options: .registration) // factories only, keep caches
container.manager.reset(options: .scope)        // caches only, keep registrations
container.manager.reset(options: .context)      // contexts only
container.manager.reset(scope: .cached)         // one specific scope cache

container.manager.push()    // snapshot
container.manager.pop()     // restore most recent snapshot

reset() with no args clears everything including contexts. When you only want to clear caches after changing a context, use .reset(.scope).

Modifiers and ordering — "the factory wins"

Modifiers are re-applied every time the computed property runs. The internal definition is applied last, so it wins.

extension Container {
    var myService: Factory<MyService> {
        self { MyService() }
            .singleton
            .onTest { MockAnalytics() }    // baked-in onTest
    }
}

// Later, in a test, this looks like it should override:
Container.shared.myService.onTest { NullAnalytics() }
let svc = Container.shared.myService()    // → MockAnalytics, not Null

Why: reading myService rebuilds the Factory and re-applies .onTest { MockAnalytics() } on top of your override.

Three ways to deal with it:

1. Don't bake mutable concerns into the Factory definition. Move contexts to autoRegister().

extension Container {
    var myService: Factory<MyService> { self { MyService() }.singleton }
}
extension Container: @retroactive AutoRegistering {
    func autoRegister() {
        #if DEBUG
        myService.onTest { MockAnalytics() }
        #endif
    }
}

2. Chain at the call site: Container.shared.myService.onTest { Null() }() — but you'd have to do this everywhere.

3. .once() — anything before .once() only applies on the first construction:

self { MyService() }
    .singleton
    .onTest { MockAnalytics() }
    .once()

Now external .onTest { ... } calls stick. .once() is the escape hatch; rule of thumb is "prefer option 1".

When you change a context on a scoped factory after first resolution, you must also clear its cached instance:

Container.shared.myService.onTest { NullAnalytics() }.reset(.scope)

Contexts

A context is a runtime condition that selects a registration override. Defined contexts:

Context	When	Available in Release?
.arg("x")	ProcessInfo.arguments contains "x" or FactoryContext.setArg("x", forKey:) was called	Yes
.args(["x", "y"])	any of the listed args	Yes
.preview	Xcode SwiftUI Previews	DEBUG only
.test	XCTest / Swift Testing process	DEBUG only
.debug	DEBUG build	DEBUG only
.simulator	running in simulator	Yes
.device	running on device	Yes

Shortcuts: .onArg(_:), .onArgs(_:), .onPreview, .onTest, .onDebug, .onSimulator, .onDevice.

container.analytics
    .onTest    { MockAnalytics() }
    .onPreview { MockAnalytics() }
    .onArg("mock1") { MockServiceN(1) }

Precedence (highest → lowest)

1. arg / args
2. preview (DEBUG only)
3. test (DEBUG only)
4. simulator
5. device
6. debug (DEBUG only)
7. registered factory (.register { ... })
8. original factory closure

Runtime args

FactoryContext.setArg("dark", forKey: "theme")
FactoryContext.removeArg(forKey: "theme")

theme
    .onArg("light") { LightTheme() }
    .onArg("dark")  { DarkTheme()  }

SwiftUI

View models

If the VM uses @Injected internally, just @StateObject-construct it normally:

struct ContentView: View {
    @StateObject private var vm = ContentViewModel()    // VM injects its own deps
}

If you want the container to construct the VM (e.g. constructor injection of services into the VM), use @InjectedObject:

extension Container {
    var contentViewModel: Factory<ContentViewModel> {
        self { ContentViewModel(service: self.myService()) }
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @InjectedObject(\.contentViewModel) private var vm
}

@InjectedObject wraps a StateObject — the view owns the VM's lifecycle.

Observation (@Observable, iOS 17+)

@MainActor @Observable
class ContentViewModel {
    @ObservationIgnored @Injected(\.myService) private var service
    var results: Results = .empty
}

extension Container {
    @MainActor
    var contentViewModel: Factory<ContentViewModel> { self { ContentViewModel() } }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @InjectedObservable(\.contentViewModel) var vm
}

@InjectedObservable is backed by @State<ThunkedValue<T>>; the dep is created lazily on first read of wrappedValue, then memoized for the view's lifetime. Its projected value is a Binding<T> (read-only setter).

In Factory 3.0+, a @MainActor factory only needs the annotation on the property — not on the closure. (2.x required self { @MainActor in ... }; that form is no longer needed.)

Previews

#Preview {
    Container.shared.myService.preview { MockServiceN(4) }
    ContentView()
}

.preview { ... } wraps register and returns EmptyView, so let _ = is unnecessary. For multiple registrations:

#Preview {
    Container.preview {
        $0.myService.register { MockServiceN(4) }
        $0.anotherService.register { MockAnother() }
    }
    ContentView()
}

A common pattern is a setupMocks() extension shared across previews and tests:

extension Container {
    func setupMocks() {
        myService.register { MockServiceN(4) }
        sharedService.register { MockShared() }
    }
}

Testing

Swift Testing (preferred — supports parallel execution)

Add FactoryTesting to the test target. Use the .container trait:

import Testing
import FactoryTesting

@Suite(.container)
struct AccountTests {
    @Test func loaded() async {
        Container.shared.accountProvider.register { MockProvider(.sample) }
        let vm = Container.shared.accountsViewModel()
        await vm.load()
        #expect(vm.isLoaded)
    }

    @Test(.container, arguments: Parameters.allCases)
    func parameterized(p: Parameters) async {
        Container.shared.someService.register { MockService(parameter: p) }
        #expect(Container.shared.someService().parameter == p)
    }
}

Each test gets:

• a fresh Container() set as Container.shared for that task (via TaskLocal.withValue)
• a cloned singleton scope (via Scope.$singleton.withValue(Scope.singleton.clone()))

Tests run in parallel without stomping on each other.

The trait can take a transforming closure for setup right next to the trait:

@Test(.container {
    $0.someService.register { ErrorService() }
    await $0.mainActorService.register { MockMainActor() }   // await for actor-isolated factories
}) func t() async { ... }

Custom container traits

public final class CustomContainer: SharedContainer {
    @TaskLocal public static var shared = CustomContainer()
    public let manager = ContainerManager()
}

extension Trait where Self == ContainerTrait<CustomContainer> {
    public static var customContainer: ContainerTrait<CustomContainer> {
        .init(shared: CustomContainer.$shared, container: .init())
    }
}

@Test(.customContainer) func t() async { ... }
@Test(.container, .customContainer) func t() async { ... }   // multiple

XCTest

No TaskLocal magic — tests don't run in parallel by default with XCTest's classic scheduler. Manage state with reset or push/pop:

final class AccountTests: XCTestCase {
    override func setUp() {
        super.setUp()
        Container.shared.manager.push()
        Container.shared.setupMocks()
    }
    override func tearDown() {
        Container.shared.manager.pop()
        super.tearDown()
    }

    func testLoaded() async {
        Container.shared.accountLoading.register { MockNoAccounts() }
        let vm = Container.shared.accountsViewModel()
        await vm.load()
        XCTAssertTrue(vm.isEmpty)
    }
}

Or with an injected container:

final class AccountTests: XCTestCase {
    var container: Container!
    override func setUp() { container = Container(); container.setupMocks() }

    func test() {
        container.someService.register { MockService() }
        let vm = AccountsViewModel(container: container)
        ...
    }
}

If any dep is a .singleton, container injection alone isn't enough — singletons are global. Use .container trait or Scope.singleton.reset().

UI testing

Pass a launch arg, react via context:

// UI test
let app = XCUIApplication()
app.launchArguments.append("mock1")
app.launch()

// App
extension Container: @retroactive AutoRegistering {
    public func autoRegister() {
        #if DEBUG
        myServiceType.onArg("mock1") { MockServiceN(1) }
        #endif
    }
}

Cross-module wiring

The recurring problem: protocol in module P, impl in module B, consumer in module A — A and B can't see each other.

Solution: P (or a thin Services module above P) declares the Factory; the app target wires the impl. Three flavors:

// 1. Optional via promised() — preferred
extension Container {
    public var loader: Factory<AccountLoading?> { promised() }
}

// 2. Optional with explicit nil
extension Container {
    public var loader: Factory<AccountLoading?> { self { nil } }
}

// 3. Optional with fatalError — fail-fast in dev, but ships crashes
extension Container {
    public var loader: Factory<AccountLoading?> { self { fatalError() } }
}

Use promised() unless you have a reason. It crashes in DEBUG (developer notices immediately), returns nil in release (feature degrades, app survives).

App target wires it:

import ModuleP
import ModuleA
import ModuleB

extension Container: @retroactive AutoRegistering {
    func autoRegister() {
        loader.register { AccountLoader() }
    }
}

If the protocol module is in the same target as the impl, the simpler "public protocol + public Factory + private impl" pattern is fine — no nullable needed.

Tags (rolling your own)

Factory has no built-in tag system. For groups of dependencies of a given type, maintain a KeyPath array (see Advanced/Tags.md):

extension Container {
    static var processors: [KeyPath<Container, Factory<Processor>>] = [
        \.processor1, \.processor2,
    ]
    func processors() -> [Processor] {
        Container.processors.map { self[keyPath: $0]() }
    }
}

The keypaths keep the array type-safe, and autoRegister() (or per-module helpers) can append more entries at startup.

Concurrency

• The package builds under Swift 6 language mode with strict concurrency.
• Container.shared is @TaskLocal var. Reading it across a Task suspension point is fine; the default Container.shared can't be reassigned directly. Use Container.$shared.withValue(...) to set scoped values.
• For an actor-isolated dep, annotate the Factory property:

extension Container {
    @MainActor var vm: Factory<ContentViewModel> { self { ContentViewModel() } }
}

Don't put @MainActor inside the closure as in 2.x — 3.0 simplified that.

• For nonisolated consumers under Swift 6.2 where the property wrappers misbehave, use the global dependency function:

nonisolated final class NetworkService: Sendable {
    let prefs: Preferences = dependency(\.preferences)
    lazy var svc: Service = dependency(\.service, parameter: Mode.secret)
}

This is also useful when you want to wrap Factory behind your own seam — dependency keypaths can be rewritten to a different DI system later.

Functional injection

Factories can return closures, not just objects. This sidesteps protocol-based mocking entirely for one-method services.

typealias AccountProviding = () async throws -> [Account]

extension Container {
    var accountProvider: Factory<AccountProviding> {
        self {{ try await Network.get(path: "/accounts") }}     // double braces!
    }
}

class AccountVM {
    @Injected(\.accountProvider) var provide
    @MainActor func load() async {
        accounts = (try? await provide()) ?? []
    }
}

// In tests
Container.shared.accountProvider.register {{ Account.mocks }}
Container.shared.accountProvider.register {{ throw APIError.network }}

The double braces are unavoidable: the outer braces are the factory closure, the inner braces are the closure being returned.

Debugging

Resolution trace

Container.shared.manager.trace.toggle()
let svc = Container.shared.someRoot()

Output:

0: FactoryKit.Container.cycleDemo<CycleDemo> = N:1055...696
1:     FactoryKit.Container.aService<AServiceType> = N:1055...680
2:         FactoryKit.Container.implementsAB<AServiceType & BServiceType> = N:1055...680
3:             FactoryKit.Container.networkService<NetworkService> = N:1055...688
1:     FactoryKit.Container.bService<BServiceType> = N:1055...680
2:         FactoryKit.Container.implementsAB<AServiceType & BServiceType> = C:1055...680

N: = newly created. C: = pulled from cache. The integer is the depth in the resolution cycle.

Trace is global (covers all containers). Custom logger:

Container.shared.manager.logger = { msg in MyLogger.debug("Factory: \(msg)") }

Trace is DEBUG-only.

Circular dependency detection

DEBUG-only. If A → B → C → A, Factory hits a fatalError with the chain. To investigate, turn on trace before resolving and read the depth indentation. Common fix: switch one of the wrappers to @LazyInjected or @WeakLazyInjected, or — better — extract a third type that the cycle's two endpoints both depend on.

Disable detection:

Container.shared.manager.circularDependencyTesting = false

Decorators

Run code on every resolution (cached or fresh):

self { ParentChildService() }
    .decorator { instance in instance.child.parent = instance }

self { Service() }
    .decorator { (instance, isNew) in if isNew { logger.log(instance) } }

Container-wide decorator (sees every dep resolved by the container):

Container.shared.decorator { resolved in print("resolved: \(type(of: resolved))") }

As of 3.1, the container-wide decorator behaves like the default scope: it's the default, and a factory-level .decorator { ... } overrides it for that factory rather than running in addition to it.

Resolver mode (typed registration, deprecated)

Opt-in Resolving protocol gives you Resolver-style runtime register/resolve by T.Type:

extension Container: Resolving {}

Container.shared.register { MyService() as MyServiceType }
let svc: MyServiceType? = Container.shared.resolve()

This is provided for migration from Resolver and isn't the recommended idiom. Stick with keypaths — they're compile-time safe.

Common gotchas (checklist)

When debugging Factory code, walk this list:

• Did you import FactoryKit (not Factory)? In the test target, depend only on FactoryTesting (not FactoryKit) — adding FactoryKit as a test-target dependency creates duplicate factories.
• Does the registration live on the correct container? @Injected(\.x) looks at Container.shared; for a custom container use @Injected(\CustomContainer.x).
• Is the override unexpectedly losing? If the Factory definition bakes in .onTest/.singleton and you're trying to override at a call site, re-read "the factory wins" — move the override to autoRegister(), or add .once(), or chain at the resolve site.
• Did you register on a singleton at runtime and not see the change? register clears scope normally, but inside autoRegister it doesn't (singletons must survive container instantiation).
• Did reset() wipe more than you wanted? reset() ≡ reset(options: .all) — clears registrations, caches, and contexts. Use reset(.scope) after a context change.
• @MainActor warning on a Factory? Annotate the computed property with @MainActor (3.0). Do not add @MainActor in inside the closure (that was 2.x).
• lazy var Factory on a custom container → retain cycle. Use a computed property.
• Test bleed between Swift Testing tests? Use the .container trait. Make sure your custom container's shared is @TaskLocal.
• Singleton not reset between tests? Singletons are global. Use .container trait (it clones the singleton scope) or call Scope.singleton.reset() explicitly.
• ParameterFactory cached but parameter ignored? Default scope behavior caches the first resolved value. Add .scopeOnParameters (P must be Hashable).
• Cross-module wire missing in production? Prefer promised() over fatalError() factories — degrades gracefully.
• Optional @Injected(\.x) for a Factory<T?>? Works directly — there's no @OptionalInjected. Just spell the property type as T? (or let inference handle it).
• Reaching for a @Dependency macro from the README? It isn't in this package build. Use @Injected or dependency(\.x).
