+"""Entry point for fully-annotated builds.
+
+This script is part of the effort to move all builds to annotator-based
+systems. Any builder configured to use the AnnotatorFactory.BaseFactory()
+found in scripts/master/factory/annotator_factory.py executes a single
+AddAnnotatedScript step. That step (found in annotator_commands.py) calls
+this script with the build- and factory-properties passed on the command
+line.
+
+The main mode of operation is for factory_properties to contain a single
+property 'recipe' whose value is the basename (without extension) of a python
+script in one of the following locations (looked up in this order):
+  * build_internal/scripts/slave-internal/recipes
+  * build_internal/scripts/slave/recipes
+  * build/scripts/slave/recipes
+
+For example, these factory_properties would run the 'run_presubmit' recipe
+located in build/scripts/slave/recipes:
+    { 'recipe': 'run_presubmit' }
+
+TODO(vadimsh, iannucci, luqui): The following docs are very outdated.
+
+Annotated_run.py will then import the recipe and expect to call a function whose
+signature is:
+  RunSteps(api, properties) -> None.
+
+properties is a merged view of factory_properties with build_properties.
+
+Items in iterable_of_things must be one of:
+  * A step dictionary (as accepted by annotator.py)
+  * A sequence of step dictionaries
+  * A step generator
+Iterable_of_things is also permitted to be a raw step generator.
+
+A step generator is called with the following protocol:
+  * The generator is initialized with 'step_history' and 'failed'.
+  * Each iteration of the generator is passed the current value of 'failed'.
+
+On each iteration, a step generator may yield:
+  * A single step dictionary
+  * A sequence of step dictionaries
+    * If a sequence of dictionaries is yielded, and the first step dictionary
+      does not have a 'seed_steps' key, the first step will be augmented with
+      a 'seed_steps' key containing the names of all the steps in the sequence.
+
+For steps yielded by the generator, if annotated_run enters the failed state,
+it will only continue to call the generator if the generator sets the
+'keep_going' key on the steps which it has produced. Otherwise annotated_run
+will cease calling the generator and move on to the next item in
+iterable_of_things.
+
+'step_history' is an OrderedDict of {stepname -> StepData}, always representing
+    the current history of what steps have run, what they returned, and any
+    json data they emitted. Additionally, the OrderedDict has the following
+    convenience functions defined:
+      * last_step   - Returns the last step that ran or None
+      * nth_step(n) - Returns the N'th step that ran or None
+
+'failed' is a boolean representing if the build is in a 'failed' state.
