Attributes ---------- frequency : int How often the hook runs (every N steps). stage : Enum | None The stage enum value at which this hook runs, or ``None`` for hooks that are stage-agnostic until registered with a specific engine. on_register : Callable[[object], None], optional Optional lifecycle method called once by the registry after the hook passes stage/frequency validation and before it is stored. Hooks that mutate workflow topology or configuration should document their ordering assumptions because registration order is user-owned. """ frequency: int stage: Enum | None def __call__(self, ctx: HookContext, stage: Enum) -> None: """Execute the hook. Only called when the registry determines the hook should fire at the dispatched stage. By default, hooks fire when ``stage == self.stage``. To fire at multiple stages, define a ``_runs_on_stage(self, stage: Enum) -> bool`` method that returns ``True`` for each relevant stage. Frequency gating is handled by the registry: hooks are only called when ``step_count % frequency == 0``. Parameters ---------- ctx : HookContext Snapshot of the current workflow state. Workflow engines may pass a :class:`HookContext` subclass with additional fields. stage : Enum The stage being dispatched. """ ...

Hooks that affect resumed training semantics can opt in by exposing ``state_dict`` and ``load_state_dict``. Pydantic-backed hooks should use ``model_dump()`` inside their ``state_dict`` implementation for declarative fields and add only the extra runtime state they own. """
