+Sequence-based constraints for scheduling.
+
+This module provides constraints for sequence variables:
+
+1. **SeqNoOverlap(sequence, transition_matrix, is_direct)**: Non-overlap constraint
+   - Ensures intervals don't overlap
+   - Optional transition matrix for setup times between types
+   - is_direct controls if transitions only count between consecutive intervals
+
+2. **first(sequence, interval)**: Constrain interval to be first in sequence
+3. **last(sequence, interval)**: Constrain interval to be last in sequence
+4. **before(sequence, interval1, interval2)**: interval1 before interval2 in sequence
+5. **previous(sequence, interval1, interval2)**: interval1 immediately before interval2
+
+6. **same_sequence(seq1, seq2)**: Common intervals have same position
+7. **same_common_subsequence(seq1, seq2)**: Common intervals have same relative order
