There may be cases where failure occurs before my code starts to run (and, perhaps, after it completes)

Hi PanickyMoth78
You mean like another Task? or maybe Slack message?

I suppose one way to perform this is with a

that kicks

Yes, that was my thinking.

It seems more efficient to support a triggered response to task fail.

Not sure I follow this one, I mean the pipeline logic itself monitors the execution. If I'm not mistaken, try/except will catch a step that files, and a global will catch the entire pipeline. Am I missing something ?

I suppose one way to perform this is with a https://clear.ml/docs/latest/docs/references/sdk/scheduler that kicks off a health check task (check exit state of executed tasks). It seems more efficient to support a triggered response to task fail.

Yes.
Some mechanism that would allow for followup code execution. Ideally in a way that would not be susceptible to the same things that may cause a task to fail.

Yes that makes sense, especially from IT failure perspective
