Missing context to resolve first

• The visible business root or path the operator wants to model against.
• Whether the goal is leaf-only context, middle-owner context, or source-ingestion context.
• Whether a reusable template family is already known.

Constrained live behaviors

• Root discovery must be real-environment evidence, not a guessed demo tree.
• Template and sub-template checks come before any modeling assumption.
• UOM and datasource checks prove measurement semantics and ingestion visibility, not object mutability.
• If a downstream workflow temporarily creates a middle-owner hierarchy and the async delete task later lands in FAILED, treat that as a backend cleanup boundary after the reread proof instead of a reason to keep retrying destructive cleanup loops.

Execution flow

1. Use idmp-cli element elements list --params, idmp-cli element elements path --params, idmp-cli element fullpath get --params, and idmp-cli element by-path list --params to lock the visible root and chosen owner.
2. Use idmp-cli template elements list --params and idmp-cli element elements sub-templates --params to confirm the template family behind that scope.
3. Use idmp-cli attr-template elements attributes --params to inspect measurement-ready attribute templates before proposing analysis or panel work.
4. Use idmp-cli uom uomclasses list and idmp-cli uom uom search --params to verify measurement semantics.
5. Use idmp-cli datasource connections list, idmp-cli data first-level-elements list, and idmp-cli data records list to confirm ingestion visibility.

Exception paths

• If visible roots are empty, classify the issue as auth, permission, or environment scope before continuing.
• If the chosen root exposes the wrong template family, stop and pick a different owner instead of forcing later workflows.
• If ingestion traces are invisible, do not promise downstream import or alert success.
• If previous temporary hierarchy cleanup tasks failed but the owner is still readable, classify the environment as reusable with a cleanup caveat instead of pretending the root inventory changed.

Validation scenarios

1. Unknown environment bootstrap

Start with idmp-cli element elements list --params and idmp-cli element elements path --params. The goal is to prove the current visible root before anything else.

2. Model-ready but ingestion-unknown environment

Use idmp-cli attr-template elements attributes --params to prove template readiness, then idmp-cli datasource connections list to confirm ingestion visibility separately.

3. Root list is empty

Stop after idmp-cli element elements list --params returns nothing useful. The next step is auth or permission diagnosis, not a guessed bootstrap answer.

4. Template mismatch on the chosen root

Use idmp-cli template elements list --params and idmp-cli element elements sub-templates --params to show the mismatch. Switch owners instead of inventing template compatibility.

5. Post-write reread

If a previous operator already created temporary objects, reread with idmp-cli data first-level-elements list and idmp-cli data records list before claiming the environment is reusable. If the objects are still readable only because an async delete task previously failed, record that as a backend cleanup caveat instead of retrying destructive cleanup here.
