Use this page when you are returning to the course after the first full pass. The goal is to turn "I read this before" into a repeatable mastery route: name the pressure, revisit the smallest set of pages that own it, and leave with executable evidence.

Return by engineering pressure¶

"My pure core keeps leaking coordination concerns"¶

Revisit:

Module 01 for substitution and local reasoning
Module 02 for data-first APIs and configuration as data
Module 07 for capability and boundary discipline

Then inspect:

src/funcpipe_rag/fp/
src/funcpipe_rag/pipelines/
src/funcpipe_rag/boundaries/

"I can model failures, but the flow is still hard to read"¶

Revisit:

Module 04 for Result and Option style error handling
Module 05 for explicit domain states and validation
Module 06 for law-guided composition and explicit context

Then inspect:

src/funcpipe_rag/result/
src/funcpipe_rag/fp/validation.py
tests/unit/result/

"Our async or retry story is making the code magical"¶

Revisit:

Module 07 for effect boundaries and idempotent effects
Module 08 for async pipelines, backpressure, and deterministic async testing

Then inspect:

src/funcpipe_rag/domain/effects/
src/funcpipe_rag/domain/effects/async_/
tests/unit/domain/test_async_backpressure.py

"We are integrating with ordinary Python libraries and losing the design"¶

Revisit:

Module 09 for interop and distributed boundary discipline
Module 10 for sustainment, governance, and proof expectations

Then inspect:

src/funcpipe_rag/interop/
src/funcpipe_rag/boundaries/shells/cli.py
Capstone Proof Guide

What mastery should feel like¶

You are using the course at a mastery level when you can do the following quickly:

name the lowest-cost module or guide that owns the current pressure
explain the boundary in plain Python engineering language, not only FP vocabulary
find one capstone file and one proof surface that either support or challenge your claim
reject an abstraction when it increases review cost more than it improves clarity
