I would probably suggest just doing 1-3 reps and try and get as many sets in as possible. You can even just do 1 or 2 during the middle of your workout. Also try holding pauses and slow negatives.
How should I incorporate cardio into the Start Calisthenics program?
So I'm a complete beginner, and soon I'm gonna start with Level 1 of the Start Calisthenics for Beginners program. I did some searching in the community posts to find about how many times a week I should train, and it seems like the general recommendation is to train and rest on alternating days, which makes sense. But now my question is, how should I incorporate cardio into that schedule? Specifically, I like to use a jump rope for cardio, because apparently it's a great cardio workout and also I can do it from home. I jump for ~15 minutes at a time for now, but I'll probably increase that to 30 mins as I get fitter. So, should I train cardio after my calisthenics training (on the same day), or should I do it on the calisthenics rest days? And if that's the case, should I also have a rest day where I don't do any cardio or calisthenics training?

I would recommend doing it after your workouts as doing it before will tire you out. You could dedicate a few days to it but if you do not have the time just do it after your workouts.
Inner Chest
I've been following the chest workouts for a week now, and I've already been feeling and seeing results. However, dips, decline & regular pushups seem to only target the "outside" portion of my chest and don't touch the inner part. Are there any exercises I can do or modify my regimen?

Do not over complicate it, what Antony says is correct, there are only two parts of the chest and most chest exercises will grow both. Just focus on getting stronger and building muscle and it may fill out that inner chest but if it doesn't don't worry about it, it is just genetics.
Why 3 Sets of 12 Might Be Killing Your Gains💥
This is for hypertrophy... We’ve all heard the classic advice. 3 sets of 12 reps = hypertrophy. But what if focusing too much on hitting that magic number is actually holding you back? 😲 The real driver of muscle growth isn’t the number of reps, it’s time under tension. Studies show that for hypertrophy, the key is keeping your muscles under tension for 45-60 seconds per set. If you're flying through your sets of 12 too quickly, you're missing out on the full benefits. Instead of just focusing on the number, slow down the tempo. Try taking 4-5 seconds per rep to ensure you're hitting that time under tension sweet spot. Another case that can appear is when mentally you "Save your self for the later sets" For strength volume yes for hypertrophy no... make those reps count, don't cheat them with bad form or speed/ too much momentum... So in conclusion... Stop fixating on the number. Focus on effort, tempo, and time under tension to make every rep count. Have you been speeding through your sets? Or do you adjust your pace for better gains! 💬⬇️ Also disclaimer this is not the case for strength or skill training.

I also would like to add that you must go to failure, if you think about it, it is pretty simple. You have to push all the way to failure so that your body can adapt by growing stronger, as long as you do that you will be getting stronger.
Question on training
Recently, ive been trying to implement some calisthenics along side my weightlifting, but im not sure if its sustainable can anyone give me a routine to follow, i can commit 4-5 days only.

You can do both, weightlifting can help you build the strength but you still need to perform calisthenics to understand the movement.
