 ## Authoring KiCI workflows with LLM coding agents
 
-KiCI is LLM-ready by design.

+## SDK reference: parallel
+
+Source: https://docs.kici.dev/user/sdk/parallel/
+
+`parallel([...steps], opts?)` runs a group of independent steps **concurrently**
+within one job, behind a join barrier: execution continues past the group only
+once every child has settled. Each child is its own observable step — it gets its
+own logs, status, timing, and retry — instead of being hidden inside one step's
+`Promise.all`.
+
+```ts
+import { workflow, job, step, parallel, push } from '@kici-dev/sdk';
+
+export default workflow('ci', {
+  on: push(),
+  jobs: [
+    job('checks', {
+      runsOn: 'kici:os:linux',
+      steps: [
+        checkout,
+        // lint, typecheck, and the unit tests have no ordering between them,
+        // so they run together — the job's wall-clock is the slowest child,
+        // not the sum of all three.
+        parallel([lint, typecheck, unitTests], { failFast: true }),
+        deploy,
+      ],
+    }),
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+`parallel(...)` returns a `ParallelGroup` that sits in the ordinary flat
+`steps: [...]` array — there is no new `job` field. A group's children are
+**sequential steps only**; groups cannot be nested.
+
+## Options
+
+`parallel(steps, opts?)` accepts:
+
+- **`failFast?: boolean`** — default `true`. When a child fails, the in-flight
+  siblings are cancelled immediately and the job fails. With `failFast: false`
+  every child runs to completion first, then the job fails if any child failed.
+- **`maxParallel?: number`** — default unlimited. Caps how many children run at
+  once; children waiting for a slot report a `pending` status until they launch.
+- **`name?: string`** — a label for the group's dashboard band.
+
+A child marked `continueOnError: true` never trips fail-fast and never fails the
+job — it still shows a `failed` status badge, but the group treats it as
+non-fatal.
+
+## Statuses
+
+Parallel steps introduce two step statuses:
+
+- **`pending`** — a child queued behind `maxParallel`, not yet launched.
+- **`cancelled`** — a sibling aborted by fail-fast. A cancelled step is **not** a
+  failure: only the child that actually failed fails the job; the cancelled
+  siblings render in gray (distinct from the red failing step) on the dashboard.
+
+Children may also complete **out of order** — the fastest child finishes first
+regardless of array position. A later sequential step can read a parallel child's
+`.result` after the barrier; children within a group cannot read each other's
+results (there is no ordering inside the group).
+
+## Scope: nests inside job-level fan-out
+
+`parallel()`'s `failFast` / `maxParallel` are **step-group** scopes — they govern
+only the steps inside the group. They are a different layer from the **job-level**
+`failFast` / `maxParallel` on a matrix / `runsOnAll` fan-out, which govern how a
+job's child _jobs_ spread across the matrix or host roster. A `parallel()` group
+inside a fan-out job nests its concurrency inside each fan-out child.
+
+## Local vs remote execution
+
+Run remotely (the orchestrator + agent), parallel children execute concurrently
+and each surfaces as its own dashboard step. `kici run local` executes the same
+children in array order in its single-process model — the results are identical,
+only the wall-clock and the live fail-fast cancellation differ. Use a remote run
+to observe the concurrent timeline.

+
+Because there is no operator to supply a value, every schedule input must

 # CLI and authoring
 
+## Drive KiCI from your coding agent
+
+Source: https://docs.kici.dev/user/ai-agents/
+
+KiCI ships a hosted **MCP server** so a coding agent (Claude Code, or any MCP
+client) can drive your CI directly: trigger runs, read a structured result,
+fetch the failing step's logs, cancel, and re-run — all under an agent identity
+you control, org-scoped, and audited. There are no per-tool tokens to configure:
+point the agent at one URL with one credential and it's done.
+
+The MCP exposes only what you can already do yourself through the `kici` CLI and
+the dashboard. It is not a new privileged surface — every tool maps to an
+existing user-facing operation and is gated by the same permissions your role
+grants.
+
+## 1. Mint an agent credential
+
+The MCP accepts an **agent-kind credential** — and only an agent-kind one. It
+can be either of two kinds:
+
+- An **agent personal access token (PAT)** that you own — it acts as you, with
+  your provenance. The token is `kici_pat_…`.
+- An **agent org API key** that belongs to your organization — a
+  provenance-carrying service account, independent of any one person. The key is
+  `kici_sk_…`.
+
+Both drive the MCP identically. A non-agent token of either kind (a plain user
+PAT, a plain org API key) is refused at the door.
+
+**Option A — an agent PAT.** Mint one with the `kici` CLI (log in first with
+`kici login`):
+
+```bash
+kici pat create --agent --name "claude-code"
+```
+
+The `--name` value is the **agent label**. It is recorded on every action the
+agent takes, so your audit log shows exactly which agent did what (and on whose
+behalf). The token is printed once — save it now; it cannot be retrieved later.
+
+**Option B — an agent org API key.** Create one from the dashboard's
+**Settings → API keys** tab: set the key's kind to **Agent** and give it an
+agent name (the agent label). The same key can also be minted with
+`kici-platform-admin user api-key create --org <id> --agent --agent-label <label>`.
+Reach for an org agent key when the agent should act as a shared service account
+rather than as a single user — for example, a long-lived CI bot that outlives any
+individual's membership.
+
+Whichever you pick, the credential carries provenance, not extra authority. Its
+effective permissions are the matrix it was minted with, and that matrix can
+never exceed the permissions of the person who created it — so you can scope an
+agent credential **below** your own access (for example, read-only) and the agent
+is held to that smaller set. Powerful operator capabilities (secret rotation,
+agent and peer management, draining) are intentionally **not** exposed here. See
+[the agent safety model](https://docs.kici.dev/user/ai-agents/#6-the-agent-safety-model) for how scoping and
+confinement work.
+
+## 2. Point your coding agent at the MCP server
+
+KiCI's hosted MCP server lives at one fixed URL:
+
+```
+https://api.kici.dev/api/v1/mcp
+```
+
+Configure your MCP client with that URL and your agent credential (the agent PAT
+or the agent org key) as a Bearer credential. For Claude Code:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --transport http kici https://api.kici.dev/api/v1/mcp \
+  --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-agent-credential>"
+```
+
+That's the entire setup. The agent can now call the tools below.
+
+## 3. What the agent can do
+
+**Read**
+
+- `list_runs` — recent runs in your organization.
+- `get_run` — the structured, provenance-tagged result of a run: the typed job
+  graph, per-step statuses and exit codes, durations, and a derived failure
+  category.
+- `get_step_logs` — the log lines for a specific step.
+- `list_workflows` — your registered workflows, optionally filtered by
+  `triggerType`, `repo`, or `stale` (only those not triggered within a duration
+  like `30d`).
+- `list_orgs` — the organizations you belong to. Use it to discover the `orgId`
+  to pass to the other tools when you're a member of more than one.
+- `list_secrets` — the secret scopes in your organization and the **key names**
+  each holds. Secret values are never returned — only the names.
+- `list_orchestrators` — the connected orchestrator clusters your runs execute
+  on (cluster name, routing keys, version, scaler backends, health).
+- `get_diagnostics` — your organization's execution metrics over the last 24
+  hours (run count, success rate, average duration, queued and running jobs)
+  plus per-orchestrator connection health.
+
+**Drive**
+
+- `trigger_run` — run a registered workflow ("run now").
+- `rerun_run` — re-run a completed run.
+- `cancel_run` — cancel an in-progress run.
+- `approve_run` — approve a held approval gate for a run (name the run, plus
+  `job`/`step` to disambiguate when it has multiple holds).
+- `reject_run` — reject a held approval gate; a `reason` is required.
+- `cancel_runs_by_branch` — cancel all in-progress runs on a branch (bounded —
+  up to 100 per call; a `truncated` flag tells the agent to re-invoke).
+
+The tools cover the same developer operations you can drive yourself with the
+`kici` CLI. Operations that are purely local to your machine (scaffolding,
+compiling, running a workflow locally) or that mint credentials are
+intentionally not exposed — the agent works against your deployed CI, not your
+filesystem.
+
+If you belong to a single organization, the org is resolved automatically. If
+you belong to several, pass an `orgId` argument to any tool (use `list_orgs` to
+find it).
+
+### Limits and pagination
+
+The MCP server applies a few bounds so an agent loop can't overwhelm the shared
+infrastructure. They are agent-visible — your agent gets a clear tool error and
+should back off or page, never a silent truncation:
+
+- **Per-token request limits.** Each agent token has its own ceiling, refreshed
+  every minute: **120 reads/minute** (listing and fetching runs, step logs, and
+  workflows) and **20 run actions/minute** (cancel, re-run, trigger, approve,
+  reject, cancel-by-branch). The two
+  budgets are independent. An over-limit call returns a tool error telling the
+  agent which kind of operation was throttled and how many seconds to wait
+  before retrying.
+- **Paginated step logs.** `get_step_logs` returns log lines in pages. Pass a
+  `limit` to bound a page (capped server-side) and follow the returned
+  `nextCursor` (as `cursor` on the next call) to read more. A large step log is
+  paged, never silently cut off — when `nextCursor` is null you've reached the
+  end.
+- **Bounded run results.** `get_run` returns the structured run result, which is
+  naturally bounded by workflow size. For a pathologically large run it returns a
+  tool error directing the agent to inspect specific steps with `get_step_logs`
+  instead.
+
+## 4. Why the structured result is agent-safe
+
+Every tool returns a machine-first shape designed for an agent to reason over
+without being misled by repository content. Each field that comes from your repo,
+a contributor, or a process's output — workflow and job names, refs, error
+messages, log lines, job outputs — is delivered **fenced** as untrusted data:
+wrapped in a per-response, randomly-named delimiter (`⟦u:<nonce>⟧…⟦/u:<nonce>⟧`),
+with the result prefixed by a notice that fenced text is data, never instructions.
+KiCI-generated values (ids, statuses, exit codes, durations, the derived failure
+category) are left plain. So an agent can keep user-controlled content out of its
+instruction channel by treating anything inside a fence as data only. See
+[Untrusted content and prompt injection](https://docs.kici.dev/user/ai-agents/#7-untrusted-content-and-prompt-injection)
+for the full model.
+
+Secret values are never returned — only the names of the secret keys a step
+accessed.
+
+## 5. The audit guarantee
+
+Because the MCP accepts only an agent-kind credential, **every action that flows
+through it is agent-attributed by construction** — there is no path that produces
+an untagged, human-looking action. Each read and each drive operation is recorded
+in your orchestrator's access log under the acting identity plus the agent label,
+so you always have a complete trail of what your agent did.
+
+Inspect that trail with `kici-admin access-log list --json` (or
+`kici-admin access-log show <id>` for one entry). The acting identity depends on
+which credential you used:
+
+- An **agent PAT** keeps `actor_type` as `user` and `actor_id` as your own
+  identity — the agent provenance rides in the actor metadata as `agentLabel`
+  (the `--name` you minted the PAT with) and `agentPatId`.
+- An **agent org key** keeps `actor_type` as `api_key` and `actor_id` as the key
+  — the same `agentLabel` provenance rides in its actor metadata.
+
+Either way the label is stored in a dedicated `agent_label` column on every such
+row, so you can filter the access log down to just agent activity:
+
+```bash
+# Every action a specific agent took, by its label:
+kici-admin access-log list --agent-label "claude-code"
+
+# Every agent-attributed action, across all agents:
+kici-admin access-log list --agent-only
+```
+
+In the dashboard, agent-driven activity is visually distinguished: the
+[Activity](https://docs.kici.dev/user/dashboard/activity-and-dlq/#activity) log renders an **agent badge**
+on every agent-attributed row, and a run's **Triggered by** shows the same badge
+when an agent triggered or cancelled it — so an agent's footprint is obvious at a
+glance, not buried in metadata.
+
+## 6. The agent safety model
+
+KiCI treats a coding agent as a **least-privilege principal with its own token**,
+not as an unscoped extension of you. Three properties make the agent
+"confined and audited by construction":
+
+**Least-privilege, capped at the creator.** An agent token is scoped when you
+mint it. Leave the scope open and it inherits your role; narrow it and the agent
+is held to that smaller set — its effective permissions are always the
+**minimum** of your role and the token's scope. A token can never grant more than
+you hold, so an agent cannot escalate beyond its creator.
+
+**Fail-closed denial, on every surface the token is used.** The scope is enforced
+wherever the token acts — the MCP tools the agent drives **and** any direct API
+call made with the raw token. When the agent attempts something outside its
+scope (driving a run with a read-only token, reading members it wasn't granted),
+the action is **refused fail-closed**: it does not run, nothing is changed, and a
+clear "insufficient permission" error comes back. There is no fallback path that
+quietly lets a denied action through.
+
+**Every decision is audited — allowed and denied alike.** Allowed actions are
+recorded in your access log under your identity plus the agent label, exactly as
+described in [the audit guarantee](https://docs.kici.dev/user/ai-agents/#5-the-audit-guarantee). **Denials are audited
+too:** each refused action lands a row in your organization's audit log carrying
+the agent label and the permission that was required, so a confined agent's
+attempts are as visible as its successes. You can see both what your agent did
+and what it was stopped from doing.
+
+**Execution stays confined.** Beyond authorization, the workloads an agent
+triggers run under the same execution guardrails as any other run — label-based
+routing decides where a job runs, and privileged (root) execution is gated and
+verified, refused fail-closed when the guarantee can't be met.
+
+Together these mean you can hand an agent a deliberately narrow token, point it
+at KiCI, and trust that it can do exactly what you granted — no more — with a
+complete, tamper-evident trail of every allow and every deny.
+
+## 7. Untrusted content and prompt injection
+
+A run carries content KiCI does not vouch for — log lines, workflow and repository
+names, error text, contributor names. An agent reading a run must treat that content
+as **data**, never as instructions, or a crafted log line ("ignore previous
+instructions and …") could hijack the agent.
+
+KiCI defends this structurally:
+
+- **Provenance tagging.** Every user- or process-controlled value is marked untrusted
+  at the API boundary; KiCI's own values (run ids, statuses, exit codes, commit hashes)
+  are trusted.
+- **Fencing at the agent boundary.** When the MCP server returns a result, every
+  untrusted value is wrapped in a per-response, randomly-named fence
+  (`⟦u:<nonce>⟧…⟦/u:<nonce>⟧`) and the result is prefixed with a notice that fenced
+  text is data, never instructions. The fence name is random per response, so injected
+  content cannot forge a closing fence to break out.
+- **No mutation.** KiCI never rewrites your log content — it fences and labels it. The
+  agent sees the true bytes inside the fence.
+
+### Safe integration pattern
+
+An agent (or harness) consuming KiCI reads should treat anything inside a fence as
+opaque data: quote it, summarize it, search it — but never execute it, follow it, or
+let it redirect a tool call. Any action taken off the back of a read (re-run, cancel,
+trigger) should be a deliberate decision from the trusted skeleton (statuses, exit
+codes, the failure category), not from fenced content.
+
+### Sandboxing actions
+
+Actions an agent drives through KiCI run under the agent's own least-privilege identity
+and are audited; combine the fencing contract with that confinement so that even if a
+log line tries to provoke an action, the action is bounded by the agent token's scope.

 Verify a KiCI build-provenance attestation bundle offline. A bundle is the signed package a workflow step produces via `ctx.attestProvenance(...)`: a DSSE-wrapped SLSA in-toto statement, the ephemeral public key that signed it, and the KiCI identity token that anchors the build context. For the end-to-end attest → verify → view journey, see the [build provenance guide](https://docs.kici.dev/user/provenance/). Verification establishes the full chain — the identity token verifies against the trusted issuer's JWKS, the DSSE signature verifies against the bundled key, and the statement's build context must match the token's claims (a mismatch is a hard failure). When an `[artifact]` is given, its SHA-256 digest is also matched against the attestation subject.
 
+On success the output prints the **origin org** (the customer's public org id — the authoritative "who built this" the platform vouches for) and a **source marker**. A `kici run remote` attestation is flagged unmistakably: its `repository`/`ref`/`sha` are caller-supplied from a local working-tree overlay, not a triggered VCS commit, so a verifier must treat those coordinates as org-asserted rather than VCS-verified. A normal triggered run carries the ordinary `triggered` source marker. See the [build provenance guide](https://docs.kici.dev/user/provenance/) for the full trust model.

 A pure function like the one above (see [Dynamic values](https://docs.kici.dev/user/dynamic-values/)) is evaluated inline at dispatch with no init-job overhead. Dynamic environments that match a glob pattern (e.g., `review/*`) inherit the pattern's configuration, variables, and protection rules.
 
+### Multiple environments per job
+
+A job can bind more than one environment with `environments`, an ordered array. This lets a single job draw secrets and variables from several environments at once — for example a shared `staging` environment plus a `my-testing` environment that carries test-only variables:
+
+```typescript
+job('deploy', {
+  runsOn: 'default',
+  environments: ['staging', 'my-testing'],
+  steps: [
+    step('deploy', async (ctx) => {
+      // ctx.secrets and ctx.env carry the merged set from both environments
+      const dbUrl = await ctx.secrets.get('DB_URL');
+    }),
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+- `environment` (singular) and `environments` (array) are mutually exclusive — setting both is a compile error. `environment: 'staging'` is exactly equivalent to `environments: ['staging']`.
+- Each array entry is a static name or a function of the event, resolved per element exactly like a single dynamic environment.
+
+**Merge order — last wins.** All bound environments are resolved on every dispatch (webhook, scheduled, and test runs alike) and merged in array order. When the same secret or variable key is defined in more than one environment, the later entry in the array wins. With `environments: ['staging', 'my-testing']`, a key defined in both resolves to `my-testing`'s value; keys defined in only one are preserved. The longest-scope-path-wins rule still applies _within_ each environment.
+
+**Protection rules combine all-must-pass.** A job must satisfy **every** bound environment's gates — adding an environment can never loosen access. Branch restrictions, trigger-type filters, and repo patterns must pass for all environments; the minimum trust tier is the most restrictive across them; required reviewers are the union of all environments' reviewers; the wait timer is the longest; and the hold expiry is the shortest. If a run is gated out, the rejection names which environment and which rule rejected it (visible via `kici runs show <run-id>` and the run's rejection reason), so a mutually-exclusive set of rules surfaces as a clear failure rather than a silent perpetual rejection.
+
+**Skip-on-test (allow-and-warn).** On a test or local run (`kici run remote`, `kici run local`), a bound environment never rejects the run. Any bound environment that disallows local execution (`allowLocalExecution: false`) — or that is not configured — is **skipped**: its variables and secrets are omitted from the merge and its gates are not evaluated. The run proceeds, and a user-visible warning naming the skipped environment(s) is shown both on the `kici run remote` CLI output and on the dashboard run view. This makes the test-only-variables pattern work: with `environments: ['staging', 'my-testing']` where only `my-testing` allows local execution, a test run resolves just `my-testing`'s variables and warns that `staging` was skipped. If every bound environment is skipped, the job runs with no environment variables. This is intentionally different from a fixture `secrets:` mapping, which is fail-closed — see the [testing guide](https://docs.kici.dev/user/testing-guide/).
+
+**Unconfigured environments contribute nothing at dispatch.** At dispatch time a bound environment name with no matching configured environment (and no matching glob environment) simply adds no variables, secrets, or protection rules — the job still runs, exactly as a single dynamic environment resolving to an as-yet-unconfigured name does today.
+
+**Registration rejects a provably-unsatisfiable binding.** When a workflow is registered, KiCI statically checks every multi-environment binding: a bound environment that does not exist, a disabled one, or two environments with mutually-exclusive fixed branch / trigger-type / repository restrictions (no value can satisfy both) makes the binding provably unsatisfiable, and the registration is rejected with a precise message naming the job, the environments, and the rule — for example `unsatisfiable environment binding: job 'deploy' binds environments [staging, my-testing] with mutually exclusive branch restrictions (no value satisfies all bound environments)`. Bindings whose restrictions use globs are undecidable at registration and fall through to the dispatch-time gate check instead.

+### Bound environments on runs
+
+A job's bound deployment environments are shown as chips on the run detail page (in the job metadata panel) in the order the job declared them, and the distinct set across a run's jobs appears as compact chips on the run list. For a multi-environment job the chips read left-to-right in merge order — later environments override earlier ones on key collisions. A `(dynamic)` chip marks an environment whose name is computed at runtime; it resolves to the real name once the run starts. A job that binds a single environment shows one chip; a job that binds none shows no chip.

+### Which trust root do I use?
+
+The trust root is the **KiCI platform's provenance issuer** — the same hosted
+KiCI platform you `kici login` against. KiCI attestations are issued by, and
+verified against, that one issuer; there are no competing "roots" to choose
+between. So the answer to "shouldn't I just use KiCI as the trust root?" is yes
+— and that's the **default**: omit `--trust-root` and the verifier checks the
+bundle against the hosted KiCI platform automatically. You only pass
+`--trust-root` to verify against a different environment or, more commonly, an
+offline `{ issuer, jwks }` file for air-gapped checks.
+
+### Why you supply it out-of-band
+
+Given there's a single issuer, why pass it at all instead of letting the
+verifier read it from the token? Because the issuer named **inside** a token
+cannot be trusted: a forged bundle could carry a token that names
+`iss: https://attacker.example` _and_ bundle a key set that "verifies" it,
+making the whole signature chain circular and self-attesting. The verifier
+therefore pins to an issuer you supply out-of-band and checks the token against
+_that_ — the bundle is verified against a key set you trust, not one it shipped
+with. Naming the trust root is a security requirement, not a multiple-choice
+question.

+To override the default, supply the trusted issuer via `--trust-root`, in one of

 ## Where secret values come from
 
 Secret values are written either through the dashboard or through `kici-admin` running against the orchestrator. The orchestrator operator decides — per organization — which surface accepts secret writes. From the workflow author's perspective, the resolution path at run time is identical either way; the difference is where you (or your ops team) **enter** the value.
