Where are outputs written, and which files should I keep?

Most modules write into --out-dir (or module-specific output roots), plus a JSON/YAML manifest that records key artifacts.

Common output anchors

• sge_convert: unified SGE files + sge_assets.json
• run_ficture2: model/decoding outputs + ficture_assets.json
• run_cartload2: PMTiles layers + catalog.yaml

What to keep for downstream use

• Final manifests/catalogs (sge_assets.json, ficture_assets.json, catalog.yaml)
• Final PMTiles and indexed outputs used by visualization/upload steps
• Any filtered or transformed SGE files you plan to reuse

What can often be removed later

• Intermediate temporary files that are regenerated by the pipeline
• Diagnostic plots/logs you no longer need

Before deleting, confirm your next step does not depend on those files.
