Research direction

Start by tracing the existing alt-hotbuild behavior, factory templates, and hotbuild key handling when no builder is selected. Verify the expected behavior for multiple tech levels, Shift+5, and unit filtering; done means the requested one-click behavior works while existing factory-template functionality remains unchanged.
