Feature 03: DAG Imports

The imports feature enables modular workflows with nested import handling and validation.

main_workflow.yaml

name: import-example
imports:
  - ./common_steps
  - ./notify_steps

steps:
  - name: run_pipeline
    command: echo "running pipeline"
    depends:
      - validate_data

common_steps.yaml

steps:
  - name: prepare_data
    command: echo "preparing data"
  - name: validate_data
    command: echo "validating data"
    depends:
      - prepare_data

notify_steps.yaml

steps:
  - name: notify
    command: echo "notifying"
    depends:
      - run_pipeline

Validation Behavior

• Nested imports are supported.

• Circular import chains are rejected.

• Duplicate merge paths are rejected.
