Move Factory Droid Pro workloads onto included managed computers

Factory Droid v0.216.0 / Desktop v0.173.0 adds Pro managed computers (5 compute hours/month), org MCP hostname wildcards, instant connector-connected status, Gemini mid-stream retries, and Ctrl+N for the model selector. Route Pro compute, collapse allowlists, and keep Gemini streams.

Why this loop

Factory Droid v0.216.0 (Desktop v0.173.0) includes managed computers on Pro with five compute hours each month, so Pro teams can run Droid work on those machines instead of burning only local capacity. Organization MCP server allowlists now accept hostname wildcards, so one entry can cover many hosts and replace host-by-host lists. In the app, connectors show as connected immediately after authorization, so a delayed status is no longer a reason to wait or re-authorize. Gemini responses that fail mid-stream now retry instead of ending with missing content, which makes Gemini usable for long generations. The keyboard shortcuts list now shows Ctrl+N for the model selector on every platform. New sessions finish starting instead of being dropped mid-launch. Workflow changes belong on Pro compute routing, MCP allowlist wildcards, connector auth, Gemini retry, and Ctrl+N—not on the onboarding button label or Droid wordmark.

Proposed actions

  1. On Factory Pro, run Droid sessions that need remote compute on the plan’s managed computers and keep that work within the included five compute hours each month.
  2. In the organization MCP server allowlist, replace per-host entries with hostname wildcards so one entry covers every MCP host that should be allowed.
  3. After authorizing a Factory connector in the app, treat Connected as final immediately—do not wait or re-authorize because of the old delayed status.
  4. If a Gemini response in Factory Droid fails mid-stream, leave the session running so the retry can finish instead of treating truncated output as final or switching models.
  5. In Factory Droid Desktop, press Ctrl+N to open the model selector on any platform when changing models mid-session.
