Summary
Fixes #350.
Documents the
--file/--objectbackend-selector flags and the--allow-run-as-rootMPI flag inREADME.md, and refreshes the stale top-level CLI help block and missing workload sections that surfaced while addressing the issue.Similarly, root users hit
mpirun has detected an attempt to run as rootwith--allow-run-as-rootonly visible inside--helpoutput, never in prose or examples.Changes
All edits are to
README.md:Refresh top-level CLI help block + add "Running as root" callout under Prerequisite.
Replace the stale
{training,checkpointing,vectordb,reports,history}output with the current{training,checkpointing,vectordb,kvcache}output. Add a short subsection explaining when--allow-run-as-rootis required (containerized / bare-metal root launchers) with one example.Add "Storage Backend Selection (
--file/--object)" subsection under Operation.Single source of truth for both
checkpointing runandkvcache run. Documents that the flags are mutually exclusive, one is required, and what each backend maps to (POSIX/parallel FS vs. S3-compatible object store via the three supported object-store libraries).
