CLI overview

The Rime CLI works against a pipeline.dag.yaml file. Relative source paths, script paths, and outputs resolve from the directory that contains that DAG.

Command Map

Command	Use it for
rime validate	Parse the DAG, validate node schemas, resolve graph references, and check source bindings without executing nodes.
rime check	Do everything validate does, plus validate an optional report.yaml against the DAG.
rime run	Execute nodes and persist outputs under outputs/.
rime build	Run the DAG and render an HTML report.
rime verify	Check whether cached artifacts still match the current DAG, source files, params, and output digests.
rime introspect	Generate a starter node block from a Python, R, JavaScript, or SQL script.

Common Flow

rime validate pipeline.dag.yaml
rime check pipeline.dag.yaml
rime run pipeline.dag.yaml
rime build pipeline.dag.yaml
rime verify pipeline.dag.yaml

Use --source node_id=path/to/file to override a source file for a single command. Use --param name=value on run-like commands to override top-level DAG params.

Exit Codes
