Maintenance
The mandatory pre-launch gate and four-verb execution contract for every TAO workflow or action. Invoke BEFORE launching anything side-effecting — AutoML, train, evaluate, inference, export, TensorRT engine generation, or DEFT/application workflows — on any execution platform. Covers platform selection, credentials, image confirmation, dataset intake, preflight, the launch review, job records, monitoring, and failure/retry classification. Trigger phrases include "train this model", "run AutoML", "launch on SLURM/docker/k8s/brev/virtualenv", "evaluate my checkpoint", "start a TAO job".
