Start with the problem you have

You do not need to begin at chapter one. Follow a short path from the failure boundary to a practical decision.

What You'll Learn

  • ✓Audit a model release without executing unreviewed repository code
  • ✓Design agent side effects around durable intent and recovery
  • ✓Separate configured, resident, retrieved, cached, and useful context
  • ✓Build per-rank GPU placement and communication plans
  • ✓Publish evidence and workshop artifacts another engineer can reproduce
