    "incantation": "When a Job needs files from a local repository directory, pass that directory to `-v`; Hugging Face syncs it to the `jobs-artifacts` bucket and mounts it. For Python Jobs, use `sync_job_volume` to create a mountable volume.",

      "hf jobs run -v ./<local-dir>:/<mount-path> <image> <command> [<args>...]",

      "sync_job_volume(read_only): Defaults to `True`; set `False` to allow the Job to write to the bucket folder.",
      "sync_job_volume(namespace): Namespace owning the `jobs-artifacts` bucket; defaults to the current user's namespace. Use the same namespace as the Job.",
      "sync_job_volume(token): Access token; defaults to the locally saved token. `False` disables authentication.",
      "Prerequisite: Hugging Face Jobs require pre-paid credits for the user or organization.",
      "Prerequisite: Authenticate with Hugging Face; `sync_job_volume` uses the locally saved token by default.",
