+## 5-minute quickstart
+
+Source: https://kici.dev/docs/user/quickstart/
+
+KiCI offers two equally-supported quickstart paths. Pick the one that fits your machine — both end with the same working pipeline (orchestrator + agent + your first workflow run visible in the dashboard).
+
+## Option A — Docker / Podman (recommended)
+
+Two containers brought up with `docker compose up -d` (orchestrator + PostgreSQL), plus one short-lived agent container spawned per job by the container scaler. Minimal host setup, perfect for a laptop, home server, or a tiny VM. No need to install PostgreSQL or any other system service.
+
+[Start with the Docker / Podman quickstart →](./quickstart/compose.md)
+
+## Option B — Bare-metal install
+
+Native systemd services managed by `kici-admin orchestrator install` / `kici-admin agent install` — the orchestrator and agents run as native processes. The backing PostgreSQL runs as a single container by default (one `docker compose up -d`), or you can install it natively if you'd rather not run a container runtime at all. Best for a long-lived Linux host.
+
+[Start with the bare-metal quickstart →](./quickstart/bare-metal.md)
+
+## Which should I pick?
+
+|                   | Docker / Podman                          | Bare metal                                                                            |

+| Host requirements | `docker` or `podman` with compose v2.20+ | systemd, Node.js 24+, PostgreSQL 18 (container — needs `docker`/`podman` — or native) |
+| Time to first run | ~5 minutes                               | ~10 minutes                                                                           |
+| Upgrades          | `docker compose pull` + restart          | `kici-admin orchestrator restart` after `npm install -g kici-admin@latest`            |
+| Best for          | Quick evaluation, ephemeral hosts        | Long-lived production hosts                                                           |
+
+If you're not sure, pick Docker / Podman.
+
+## Looking for the laptop-only path?
+
+Both quickstarts deploy a real orchestrator + agent. If you only want to write a workflow and dry-run it on your laptop with no infrastructure, [Getting started](./getting-started.md) covers `kici test` and `kici run local` instead.

 The `SIGTERM`-to-`SIGKILL` grace window defaults to 30 000 ms. Override it with the `KICI_LOCAL_LOCK_KILL_GRACE_MS` environment variable (positive integer, milliseconds) when iterating on workflows that need longer to clean up on cancellation.
 
+**Execution isolation:**
+
+By default, `kici run local` executes steps inside an **isolated tmp checkout** rather than against your real working directory. Any file a step writes, builds, or deletes — and any `git` mutation a step performs — lands in that throwaway copy, so casual local runs never touch your tree.
+
+What gets materialized into the isolated checkout has full parity with what `kici run remote` reconstructs: your current working tree minus gitignored files, with `.kiciignore` applied to local changes, over a real `.git` directory. Concretely, the checkout is built from a clone pinned to your current `HEAD`, with your local overlay (modified, staged, and untracked-but-not-ignored files) copied on top and locally-deleted files removed. Workflows that read git metadata work because the `.git` directory is present and pinned to your `HEAD`.
+
+The path is logged at run start (for example, `running in /tmp/kici-run-ab12cd`) so you can inspect it.
+
+Cleanup policy:
+
+- On a fully successful run, the isolated checkout is removed.
+- On failure, it is retained and its path is logged so you can inspect the failed state.
+- `--keep` always retains it, even on success.
+
+Set the `KICI_RUN_DIR` environment variable to place the isolated checkout under a base directory other than the system temp directory.
+
+Secrets are always sourced from your real `.kici/` directory, not from the isolated checkout. Gitignored secret files (such as `.kici/.env.local` and `.kici/secrets.yaml`) are never copied into the checkout, so a step that reads a secret still gets it from the original location.
+
+Pass `--in-place` to run against the real working directory instead — useful when you explicitly want in-tree execution. `--in-place` requires no git repository; the default isolated mode does, and fails with an actionable error pointing at `--in-place` when the directory is not a git repository.

 Permission-gated: `secrets:read` to view scopes, `secrets:write` to add or delete secrets, `environments:write` to modify environment bindings.
 
+### Where secrets live
+
+Secret values are stored in the orchestrator's secret store and authorized through the orchestrator's RBAC. The dashboard surfaces secret **names** and scope membership for every secret regardless of where the value was entered.
+
+Whether secret **values** can be set from the dashboard depends on the orchestrator's [dashboard-write policy](/operator/security/dashboard-write-policy):
+
+- **Permissive (default):** the "Add secret" and "Edit value" controls accept plaintext directly in the dashboard. This is how a typical SaaS CI tool works and is the right default for small teams.
+- **`secrets.set` disabled by policy:** the controls render with a lock icon, grayed out. Hovering shows the exact `kici-admin secret set` invocation needed; a copy button puts it on the clipboard. The control is inert — the dashboard issues no mutating request. Use the CLI to enter values; the dashboard refreshes within ~30 seconds and shows the new secret name.
+
+The policy state is visible at three layers in the UI:
+
+- A **lock-icon prefix** on every disabled control, with a per-control CLI hint.
+- A **per-page banner** on any page containing at least one disabled operation, listing every disabled op on that page and its CLI equivalent.
+
+The Security policy page (Settings → Security → Dashboard policy) renders the full 23-row read-only matrix with the current state and the `kici-admin` command for each row. The policy itself cannot be changed from the dashboard — the orchestrator operator manages it via `kici-admin org-settings dashboard-writes`. See [Dashboard-write policy](/operator/security/dashboard-write-policy) for the operator-side details.

 ## Approval queue
 
 The approval queue page (`/orgs/:customerId/approval-queue`) shows held runs that are pending approval. Runs can be held due to environment protection rules (required reviewers, wait timers). The page supports filtering by status (pending, approved, rejected, expired) and provides approve/reject actions for users with `environments:write` permission. Users with `environments:admin` permission can skip wait timers.

 This design prevents accidental secret leakage through child processes, log output, or error messages. Only secrets you explicitly request are loaded into memory.
 
+## 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.
+
+### Default — dashboard or CLI
+
+A fresh orchestrator starts in **permissive** mode: both surfaces are available.
+
+- **Dashboard:** Settings → Secrets → pick a scope → enter the secret name and value.
+- **CLI:** `kici-admin secret set --scope <scope> <KEY>` against the orchestrator's HTTP admin API.
+
+Use whichever fits the workflow — most small teams stay on the dashboard; ops engineers and CI scripts use the CLI.
+
+### When the operator has disabled dashboard writes
+
+The orchestrator operator can flip `secrets.set` (and `variables.set`) to **CLI-only** as part of the [dashboard-write policy](/operator/security/dashboard-write-policy). When that flip is on:
+
+- The dashboard's "Add secret" / "Edit value" controls render with a lock icon. Clicking them shows a tooltip with the exact `kici-admin secret set` invocation needed.
+- The dashboard's secrets page still lists secret **names**, scopes, and bindings — only the value-entry path moves to the CLI.
+- `kici-admin secret set` becomes the single entry point for new and updated secret values.
+
+This configuration is common for SOC2-prep and regulated workloads, where the customer requirement is "the SaaS control plane process never receives plaintext customer secret values." The dashboard remains usable for everything else (read paths, name CRUD, environment bindings).
+
+### CLI input modes
+
+`kici-admin secret set` accepts five input modes — pick the one that fits your workflow:
+
+```bash
+# Interactive prompt (default when stdin is a TTY). No echo, no shell history.
+kici-admin secret set --scope production DB_PASSWORD --prompt
+
+# Pipe from another tool (default when stdin is not a TTY).
+pass show prod/db | kici-admin secret set --scope production DB_PASSWORD --from-stdin
+
+# Read from a file (handy after `sops -d` to a tmpfile).
+kici-admin secret set --scope production DB_PASSWORD --from-file ./db.pass
+
+# Read from a named environment variable (CI-friendly).
+KICI_SECRET_VALUE=$(my-secrets-fetcher prod db) \
+  kici-admin secret set --scope production DB_PASSWORD --from-env KICI_SECRET_VALUE
+
+# Direct argv — discouraged. Prints a stderr warning ("visible in shell history").
+kici-admin secret set --scope production DB_PASSWORD --value "<plaintext>"
+```
+
+Two cross-cutting flags help every mode:
+
+- `--confirm-fingerprint <hex>` — pre-compute SHA-256 of the value and pass it. The CLI rejects the call if the value's fingerprint doesn't match. Catches paste corruption.
+- `--dry-run` — parse and validate the value, print `[dry-run] would set <key> in scope <scope> sha256=<hex>`, exit without writing.
+
+`kici-admin variable set` uses the same flags for non-encrypted variables, plus `--locked` to mark a variable as immutable from subsequent dashboard writes.
+
+A full reference of input modes — including the default-mode resolution rules and the security trade-offs of each — lives in [Dashboard-write policy → CLI input modes](/operator/security/dashboard-write-policy#cli-input-modes-for-the-plaintext-path).
