Why this is canonical
'Manufacturing layer' names the structural plane between AI capabilities and the specific constraints of manufacturing: OT/IT integration, supply chain data, quality processes, and real-time production systems. On .ai within a substantive manufacturing cluster, it is best-positioned as the canonical layer-level reference for manufacturing AI infrastructure.
