Interface

The IScriptableFactory interface hierarchy defines the contract for all factories in the Scriptable Factory system. Three levels of interface progressively add capabilities: base lifecycle, object pooling, and data-driven variant spawning.

Architecture

Interface Tiers

Tier	Interface	Adds
Base	IScriptableFactory	Lifecycle (Initialize, Start, OnQuit) and Unity references (gameObject, transform)
Pooling	IScriptableFactory<TObject>	Object creation, pooling (Spawn, Despawn, Destroy), and pool capacity
Data	IScriptableFactory<TObject, TData>	Data variants, data-driven spawning, and variant enumeration

Interfaces

Interface	Description
IScriptableFactory	Base factory contract — lifecycle and Unity references
IScriptableFactory<TObject>	Adds pooled object creation and lifecycle management
IScriptableFactory<TObject, TData>	Adds data-driven variant spawning and data retrieval
