Provides guidance for authoring Apache Airflow DAGs in Managed Service for Apache Airflow (MSAA; formerly Cloud Composer). Covers environment context discovery, Airflow 2 vs 3 compatibility, authoring best practices, and local/remote validation processes. Use when creating or extending an Airflow DAG. Don't use when authoring Python code unrelated to Airflow DAGs.
