nemo-rl-brev-etiquette

Brev instance operating guidance for NeMo-RL agents working in /home/ubuntu/RL with limited workspace disk, a larger /ephemeral volume, and optional /home/ubuntu/RL/.env secrets. Use when running nemo-rl-auto-research campaigns, experiments, training jobs, model or dataset downloads, shared cache-heavy commands, log-producing runs, checkpoint generation, W&B or Hugging Face authenticated workflows, or any workflow that may create large files on Brev.

# Brev Etiquette

Operate as though `/home/ubuntu/RL` is the source checkout and `/ephemeral` is the working storage for generated experiment state. Keep the repo small, reproducible, and easy to inspect. Move bulky run outputs to `/ephemeral` before launching anything expensive.

## Storage Rules

- Keep code edits, small config changes, committed experiment hypotheses, and concise reproducibility records under `/home/ubuntu/RL`.
- Put generated experiment assets under `/ephemeral`, including checkpoints, run logs, Ray temp directories, W&B offline files, profiler traces, evaluation dumps, rollout samples, and per-experiment artifacts.
- Keep reusable caches under one shared `/ephemeral` cache root per user, not under each experiment. This includes Hugging Face models, dataset caches, PyTorch caches, Triton caches, `uv` caches, and pip caches.
- Before a campaign or long run, check capacity with `df -h /home/ubuntu/RL /ephemeral` and avoid starting if `/ephemeral` is missing or nearly full.
- Create a campaign root such as `/ephemeral/nemo-rl/${USER:-ubuntu}/nemo-rl-auto-research/<campaign>` and use one subdirectory per experiment.
- Do not leave large files, cache directories, or generated outputs in the git checkout. If a tool defaults to the repo, override its output/cache path before running it.
