lk automation run

Watch for Automation Studio steps aimed at this machine and run them.

What it does

Watch for Automation Studio steps aimed at this machine and run them.
This is the half that collects work. Automation Studio dispatches a device-targeted step to your machine; without this running, the step sits waiting and nothing happens. Leave it running while a run is in flight. `exec` steps additionally require `lk automation enable <project-dir>` — this command watching is not on its own permission to run commands.

Usage

Where this is defined

automation run is declared in ai-platform/sage/core/autonomous_helpers.py. This page is generated from that source, so it cannot describe behaviour the CLI does not have.
