--envApply an environment overlay

Execution control

OptionDescription
--yesSkip confirmation
--dry-runShow what would be executed
--timeout TIMEOUTGlobal timeout in minutes
--parallel-phasesExecute independent phases in parallel
--max-workers MAX_WORKERSMaximum workers for parallel execution

Safety and rollback

OptionDescription
--rollback-strategynone, immediate, phase_complete, or full_rollback
--require-approvalRequire explicit approval for destructive work
--backup-stateCreate a backup before execution
--validate-dependenciesValidate dependencies before execution

Reporting

OptionDescription
--reportOutput path for the execution report
--report-formatReport format
--metrics-exportExport metrics to monitoring backends
--notifySend notifications to destinations such as Slack or email

Build execution

OptionDescription
--build, --build-idExecute a specific build job
--delay DELAYSeconds between build iterations
--fail-fastStop on first failure
--no-outputSuppress build script output

Debugging and advanced

OptionDescription
--verboseDetailed progress output
--keep-temp-filesKeep temporary files
--workspace-dirCustom workspace directory
--state-file STATE_FILECustom state file location
--config-overrideOverride contract config with JSON
--provider-configPath to provider-specific configuration

Examples

fluid apply contract.fluid.yaml --yes
fluid apply contract.fluid.yaml --dry-run --verbose
fluid apply contract.fluid.yaml --env production --rollback-strategy immediate
fluid apply runtime/plan.json --yes

Notes

  • The recommended sequence is validate -> plan -> apply.
  • For local-first onboarding, fluid apply contract.fluid.yaml --yes is the shortest path after a quickstart scaffold.
