This capstone is the executable reference repository for Deep Dive DVC. It keeps state authority, promotion, and recovery visible in one place so the course's biggest claims can be inspected instead of repeated from memory.

Use this guide once the local module idea is already clear. The capstone should corroborate a concept, not replace first contact with it.

What this capstone proves

  • state identity can stay explicit instead of path-shaped
  • declared pipeline contracts and recorded execution state can be compared directly
  • promoted outputs can be smaller and clearer than the whole repository
  • recovery can depend on remote-backed durability instead of hopeful local convenience

Start by module range

Module range Best capstone focus
Modules 01-03 state identity, cache truth, and environment boundaries
Modules 04-06 stage edges, params, metrics, and comparable runs
Modules 07-08 collaboration pressure, remote durability, and recovery
Modules 09-10 promoted trust surfaces, migration boundaries, and stewardship review

Core commands

If you need... From the repository root From the capstone directory
the first bounded pass make PROGRAM=reproducible-research/deep-dive-dvc capstone-walkthrough make walkthrough
current-state verification make PROGRAM=reproducible-research/deep-dive-dvc capstone-verify make verify
recovery or release review make PROGRAM=reproducible-research/deep-dive-dvc capstone-recovery-review or make PROGRAM=reproducible-research/deep-dive-dvc capstone-release-review make recovery-review or make release-review

Review questions

  • Which layer is authoritative for the current question?
  • Which file records the difference between declaration and execution?
  • Which promoted files may another person trust downstream?
  • Which guarantees depend on the DVC remote rather than local convenience?

Stop here when

  • you know which state surface or command owns the current question
  • you know whether the next move is walkthrough, proof, or stewardship review
  • you know the smallest route that can answer honestly
