API Advanced¶

Advanced APIs are fully supported, but they are not part of the onboarding recommended path. Reach for these when integrating Consist into larger frameworks, adapters, or custom orchestration layers.

Manual lifecycle and decorator patterns¶

• consist.start_run
• Tracker.begin_run
• Tracker.end_run
• consist.define_step
• Tracker.define_step

Guidance: Manual Lifecycle and Decorators

Advanced cache/execution controls¶

• CacheOptions
• OutputPolicyOptions
• ExecutionOptions
• run.identity_summary for cache identity debugging

Data/system integrations¶

• Config adapters: Tracker.prepare_config, Tracker.apply_config_plan
• View and matrix systems: consist.view, consist.register_views, Tracker.load_matrix
• Query/lower-level utilities: consist.run_query, consist.db_session, Tracker.resolve_uri

Choosing execution style¶

Use the decision tree: Which execution style should I use?
