tao-data-io

The data-mover for TAO jobs — decides the storage tier (A pre-positioned mount with zero fetch / B volume-from-S3 / C ephemeral in-compute fetch), stages inputs (bulk + annotation-selective + archive extract + HF/NGC PTM), maps credentials to env, routes outputs 3-way with upload-excludes, and runs the compute-frame verify gate. A support skill other platform skills (docker, kubernetes, slurm, brev, virtualenv) call to get data to and from the compute container without the TAO SDK. Trigger phrases include "stage inputs", "mount the dataset", "upload TAO results", "download only referenced files", "resolve results_dir", "verify the container can read the data".
