Manage processing activities. This page documents 7 commands under prb processing-activity.

Flags and examples below come from the command definitions. A Required flag is explicitly marked required by Cobra; an unmarked flag can still be needed by runtime validation or a non-interactive workflow. Empty strings and empty lists are registered defaults, not sample values.
