# Materialize production artifacts for an order

> **Side effect:** creates `kit_assembly` tasks and queued `print_job` rows for every unfulfilled line item that does not already have live production artifacts. Idempotent — running it twice on the same order is a no-op for items already in production. Composite SKUs get one assembly task plus one print job per kit part. Per-item failures (BOM shortages, missing print files) are returned in `shortages` / `unmatched_items` and never abort the rest of the order.

    Public API for AutoPrintFarm — read + write surface for printers, jobs,
    inventory, orders, SKUs, files, worklist, and assembly. Authorization uses
    three scopes: `read` (any list/get), `write` (data mutations — create,
    update, delete, uploads, fulfillment), and `control` (physical printer
    actions: start, pause, resume, stop, heaters, light, filament). Authenticate
    with an API key minted from Settings → API Keys in the AutoPrintFarm
    dashboard.
