+# Access Rules (RBAC)
+
+On superglue, roles define tool-level and system-level allowlists. Users can have multiple roles. Roles and access rules are only available on enterprise organizations. Non-enterprise orgs do not have RBAC — all users have admin access on personal organizations.
+
+## Data Model
+
+### Role
+
+```typescript
+interface Role {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+  tools: "ALL" | string[]; // tool allowlist
+  systems: "ALL" | Record<string, SystemPermission>; // system allowlist
+  isBaseRole?: boolean; // true for admin, member, enduser
+}
+```
+
+### SystemPermission
+
+Each system entry is either a predefined access level or a custom rule:
+
+```typescript
+type SystemPermission = SystemAccessLevel | { rules: CustomRule[] };
+```
+
+| Type               | Meaning                                          |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `"read-write"`     | All HTTP methods allowed                         |
+| `"read-only"`      | Only GET and HEAD; POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE blocked |
+| `{ rules: [...] }` | Custom JS expressions that gate access           |
+
+Systems not listed in the role's `systems` map are DENIED, unless the system access is set to `"ALL"`.
+
+### CustomRule
+
+```typescript
+interface CustomRule {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  expression?: string; // JS expression, receives stepConfig
+  isActive: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+Custom rules are inline in the systems map. A system either has a standard access level OR a custom rule, never both. Custom rules must return truthy to **allow** the request. If it returns falsy, throws, or has no expression, the request is blocked (fail-closed).
+
+## Tool Permissions
+
+- `tools: "ALL"` — every tool is allowed, including tools created in the future
+- `tools: ["tool-id-1", "tool-id-2"]` — only these specific tools are allowed; new tools are NOT auto-included (but see Auto-Append below)
+
+## System Permissions
+
+- `systems: "ALL"` — every system allowed at READ_WRITE level, including future systems. Custom rules are not possible in this mode.
+- `systems: { "gmail": "read-write", "stripe": "read-only" }` — SPECIFIC mode: per-system access levels; unlisted systems are denied.
+- `systems: { "gmail": { rules: [{ name: "block-deletes", expression: "stepConfig.method !== 'DELETE'", isActive: true }] } }` — custom rule on a specific system
+
+## Mutation Detection by Protocol
+
+Read-only mode blocks mutating requests. How "mutating" is determined per protocol:
+
+- **HTTP** — POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE are mutating; GET and HEAD are read-only
+- **Postgres** — SQL statements starting with or containing INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, ALTER, CREATE, TRUNCATE, etc. are mutating; everything else (SELECT) is read-only
+- **FTP / SMB** — operations other than `list`, `get`, `exists`, `stat` are mutating
+- **Redis** — commands not in the read-only set (GET, MGET, EXISTS, KEYS, SCAN, TTL, TYPE, HGET, HGETALL, LRANGE, SMEMBERS, SCARD, etc.) are mutating
+- **Transform** — never mutating (pure data transformation, no external system)
+
+On parse failure, all protocols default to **mutating** (fail-closed).
+
+## Custom Rule Expressions
+
+Custom rules only apply in SPECIFIC mode. If systems is `"ALL"`, no custom rules exist.
+
+Expressions receive a **resolved** `stepConfig` object — all template variables (`<<variable>>` and `<<(sourceData) => ...>>` expressions) are substituted with their actual runtime values before the rule evaluates. This means rules see the real URL, headers, body, and query params, not raw templates.
+
+```typescript
+interface StepConfig {
+  url: string;
+  method: string;
+  headers: Record<string, string>;
+  queryParams: Record<string, string>;
+  body: unknown;
+  systemId: string;
+}
+```
+
+Example expressions:
+
+```javascript
+// Block all POST requests to a specific endpoint
+stepConfig.method !== "POST" || !stepConfig.url.includes("/admin");
+
+// Only allow GET requests to /api/v1/read endpoints
+stepConfig.method === "GET" && stepConfig.url.includes("/api/v1/read");
+
+// Block requests with certain headers
+!stepConfig.headers["x-dangerous-header"];
+
+// Block a specific datasource ID in the resolved body
+!(typeof stepConfig.body === "object" && stepConfig.body?.datasource?.id === "blocked-id");
+```
+
+## Multi-Role Semantics
+
+Users can have multiple roles. Resolution is **union (most permissive wins) everywhere**:
+
+| Layer        | Semantics                      | Example                                                                     |
+| ------------ | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Tools        | Union (most permissive wins)   | If role A allows tool X and role B doesn't, tool X is allowed               |
+| Systems      | Union (most permissive wins)   | If role A gives READ_ONLY and role B gives READ_WRITE, result is READ_WRITE |
+| Custom rules | Per-role union (any role wins) | If any role's complete rule set allows the request, it goes through         |
+
+Custom rule detail:
+
+- **Within a single role**, all custom rules for that system must pass (AND logic)
+- **Across roles**, evaluation is per-role: if any role fully allows the request (all its rules pass, or it has no custom rule for that system), the request is allowed (OR logic)
+
+## Base Roles
+
+Every user has exactly **one** base role. There are three:
+
+- **`admin`** — Full access to everything. Bypasses all RBAC checks. The admin role is **immutable** — it cannot be edited at all, nor can it be re-assigned.
+- **`member`** — Default for org team members. Starts with `tools: "ALL"`, `systems: "ALL"`. Tool and system allowlists can be narrowed to restrict access. Name and description cannot be changed. Cannot be deleted.
+- **`enduser`** — Default for end users / portal consumers. Starts with `tools: []`, `systems: {}` (no access). Tool and system allowlists must be explicitly populated to grant access. Name and description cannot be changed. Cannot be deleted.
+
+Base roles define the starting permissions that custom roles can extend or build on top of. Users can also have additional **custom roles** on top of their base role. Custom roles are fully editable (name, description, tools, systems) and can be created and deleted.
+
+### Auto-append on resource creation
+
+When a user creates a new tool or system, the backend automatically adds it to the **creator's base role** — but only if that base role uses SPECIFIC mode (not `"ALL"`) for the relevant field:
+
+- New tool created → appended to the creator's base role's `tools` list (skipped if `tools: "ALL"`)
+- New system created → appended to the creator's base role's `systems` map with `read-write` access (skipped if `systems: "ALL"`)
+
+This only affects the base role, not additional custom roles. It ensures that a user on a restricted allowlist automatically gets access to resources they create.

+# Data Handling: Variables, Selectors & Transforms
+
+Most tool building and editing failures trace back to incorrect variable syntax, wrong data selector returns, or misunderstanding of the tool result envelope.
+
+## Variable Replacement (`<<>>` Syntax)
+
+The `<<expression>>` syntax injects dynamic values into step config fields (URL, headers, body, queryParams).
+
+### Simple Variables (top-level keys only)
+
+```
+<<userId>>           payload keys
+<<currentItem>>      whole current loop item
+<<page>>             pagination variable
+<<systemId_api_key>> system credential
+<<systemId_url>>     system base URL
+<<sg_auth_email>>    email of the authenticated user
+```
+
+**CRITICAL**: Simple `<<varName>>` only works for top-level keys. NO dots, NO nesting.
+
+- VALID: `<<userId>>`, `<<currentItem>>`, `<<page>>`, `<<stripe_api_key>>`, `<<stripe_url>>`, `<<sg_auth_email>>`
+- INVALID: `<<currentItem.id>>`, `<<sourceData.userId>>`, `<<user.name>>` — these FAIL at runtime
+
+### Arrow Function Expressions (for everything else)
+
+```
+<<(sourceData) => sourceData.currentItem.player_id>>
+<<(sourceData) => sourceData.getUsers.data.map(u => u.id)>>
+<<(sourceData) => JSON.stringify({ ids: sourceData.fetchUsers.data.map(u => u.id) })>>
+```
+
+### Resolution Order
+
+1. Direct lookup: check if expression is a top-level key in the merged variable object
+2. Arrow function: execute in Deno subprocess sandbox with full data as `sourceData`
+3. Failure: throws error listing available keys
+
+### Variable Sources
+
+All variables come from a single merged object:
+
+```javascript
+{
+  ...originalPayload,       // user-provided input
+  ...previousStepResults,   // keyed by stepId
+  ...systemCredentials,     // namespaced: systemId_credKey
+  ...systemUrls,            // namespaced: systemId_url
+  sg_auth_email,            // email of authenticated user (context variable)
+  currentItem,              // current loop item (if in a loop)
+  page, offset, cursor,     // pagination variables
+  limit, pageSize           // pagination size
+}
+```
+
+## Context Variables
+
+Context variables provide information about the execution environment:
+
+- `<<sg_auth_email>>` — Email address of the authenticated user who triggered the tool execution
+
+**Use case**: Personalize tool outputs based on who is running the tool. For example:
+
+- Different permissions in Tableau based on user
+- User-specific account lookups
+- Audit logging with user identity
+
+**Important**: `sg_auth_email` is NOT available in scheduled executions (cron jobs). If a tool references `<<sg_auth_email>>` and runs via scheduler, it will fail with a clear error message.
+
+### Return Type Handling
+
+- Objects/arrays returned from expressions → JSON.stringified automatically
+- Resolved values of `"undefined"` or `"null"` → stripped from headers and queryParams
+
+### Special: Basic Auth
+
+`"Authorization": "Basic <<user>>:<<pass>>"` is auto-converted to Base64. Do NOT manually encode.
+
+## Credential Resolution
+
+Credentials are available via `<<>>` syntax. Two sources, payload takes precedence:
+
+1. **System credentials**: Stored on System, namespaced as `<<systemId_credKey>>`
+
+   ```javascript
+   // System id="stripe", credentials={ api_key: "sk_..." }
+   // Available as: <<stripe_api_key>>
+   ```
+
+2. **Payload credentials**: Passed at runtime, accessed directly
+   ```javascript
+   // Payload: { user_access_token: "abc" }
+   // Available as: <<user_access_token>>
+   // Or: <<(sourceData) => sourceData.user_access_token>>
+   ```
+
+For OAuth systems, use `<<systemId_access_token>>` — the token value is auto-refreshed during tool execution, but the header itself must be present in the step config.
+
+## System URL Resolution
+
+System URLs are available via `<<systemId_url>>` syntax. This enables environment-agnostic tools:
+
+```javascript
+// System id="salesforce", url="https://mycompany.salesforce.com"
+// Available as: <<salesforce_url>>
+
+// Step config:
+{
+  "url": "<<salesforce_url>>/services/data/v58.0/sobjects/Account",
+  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <<salesforce_access_token>>" }
+}
+```
+
+**Why use system URL variables?**
+
+- Same tool works across dev/prod environments without modification
+- When switching execution mode, the system URL resolves to the appropriate environment
+- Avoids hardcoding base URLs that differ between environments
+
+## Data Selectors
+
+Every step has a `dataSelector` — a JS function that controls execution mode and what `currentItem` is.
+
+### Returns OBJECT → Single Execution
+
+Step runs once. The object becomes `currentItem`.
+
+```javascript
+(sourceData) => ({ userId: sourceData.userId })
+(sourceData) => ({})   // run once with no specific input
+```
+
+Result stored as:
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.stepId = { currentItem: <object>, data: <response>, success: true }
+```
+
+### Returns ARRAY → Loop Execution
+
+Step runs once per array element. Each element becomes `currentItem`.
+
+```javascript
+(sourceData) => sourceData.getContacts.data.filter(c => c.active)
+(sourceData) => sourceData.userIds   // if userIds is an array from payload
+```
+
+Result stored as:
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.stepId = [
+  { currentItem: <item1>, data: <response1>, success: true },
+  { currentItem: <item2>, data: <response2>, success: true },
+  ...
+]
+```
+
+Empty arrays are valid — step just skips execution.
+
+### Accessing currentItem in Step Config
+
+```
+<<currentItem>>                                           // whole value
+<<(sourceData) => sourceData.currentItem.id>>             // property
+<<(sourceData) => sourceData.currentItem.name.toUpperCase()>>  // with transform
+```
+
+## Result Envelope
+
+**Every** step result (request or transform) is wrapped identically:
+
+### From Object Selector
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.stepId = {
+  currentItem: <selectorOutput>,
+  data: <apiResponse or transformResult>,
+  success: true
+}
+
+// Access:
+sourceData.stepId.data           // the response
+sourceData.stepId.currentItem    // what was passed in
+```
+
+### From Array Selector
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.stepId = [
+  { currentItem: <item1>, data: <response1>, success: true },
+  { currentItem: <item2>, data: <response2>, success: false, error: "..." },
+  ...
+]
+
+// Access:
+sourceData.stepId.map(item => item.data)                     // all responses
+sourceData.stepId.flatMap(item => item.data.results)          // nested arrays
+sourceData.stepId.filter(item => item.success).map(i => i.data) // only successes
+```
+
+### From Paginated Step
+
+Paginated steps merge all pages server-side into a **single** result. The result is always a single envelope, NOT an array — even though multiple pages were fetched.
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.stepId = {
+  data: <merged response from all pages>,
+  success: true
+}
+
+// Access:
+sourceData.stepId.data              // the merged response
+sourceData.stepId.data.items        // if the API wraps results in .items
+
+// WRONG — do NOT treat paginated results as an array of envelopes:
+sourceData.stepId.map(...)          // FAILS — stepId is an object, not an array
+```
+
+## sourceData Structure
+
+`sourceData` is the cumulative state available to data selectors, variable expressions, and transforms:
+
+```javascript
+sourceData = {
+  // Original payload fields at ROOT level (NOT under .payload)
+  userId: "abc",
+  date: "2024-01-15",
+  companies: ["acme", "globex"],
+
+  // Previous step results, keyed by step ID
+  getUsers: { currentItem: {}, data: { users: [...] }, success: true },
+  fetchDetails: [
+    { currentItem: { id: 1 }, data: { name: "Alice" }, success: true },
+    { currentItem: { id: 2 }, data: { name: "Bob" }, success: true },
+  ],
+
+  // Current item (only within a loop step's config)
+  currentItem: { id: 1 },
+
+  // Runtime file map — see file-handling skill for full reference
+  __files__: { ... }
+}
+```
+
+Treat `sourceData.__files__` as read-only. See the file-handling skill for file detection, the `RuntimeExecutionFile` shape, aliasing rules, and how to access files in transforms.
+
+## Three Transformation Points
+
+| Point                            | When it runs             | Purpose                              |
+| -------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
+| `dataSelector`                   | Before step executes     | Controls input + single vs loop mode |
+| Transform step (`transformCode`) | As the step itself       | Reshape data between request steps   |
+| `outputTransform`                | After all steps complete | Shape final tool output              |
+
+## Transform Steps
+
+Transform steps use `type: "transform"` with a `transformCode` function. They do NOT have: systemId, url, method, headers, body, queryParams, or pagination.
+
+Results are wrapped in the **same envelope** as request steps:
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.formatForInsert = { currentItem: <dataSelector output>, data: <transformCode result>, success: true }
+```
+
+If the step has a dataSelector returning an array, the transform runs once per item. See tool-building guidelines for when to use transform steps vs dataSelectors vs outputTransform.
+
+### Returning Files From a Transform
+
+Transform steps can produce files by returning a reserved `__files__` key in the result. See the file-handling skill for the full shape, aliasing rules, and access patterns.
+
+## Output Transform
+
+Final transformation shaping the tool's output. Runs after all steps complete. Can access cumulative step result data and payloads.
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Function signature: `(sourceData) => { ... }`
+- **Must have a return statement**
+- Async/await IS supported (same Deno sandbox as transform steps)
+- NEVER include newlines or tabs in the code string
+
+## JS Code Constraints (all transform points)
+
+Runs in a Deno subprocess sandbox:
+
+- 8192 MB memory limit, 10 min timeout (transforms/selectors), 3s timeout (pagination stops)
+- Async/await IS supported in transforms
+- No filesystem access — `--deny-read`, `--deny-write`
+- No subprocess spawning — `--deny-run`
+- Network access IS available (`--allow-net`) — transforms can make HTTP requests
+- Environment variables are sandboxed — only safe vars (PATH, HOME, DENO_DIR) are visible, no server secrets
+- JSON-serializable I/O only
+- Must return a value (undefined returns null)
+
+### Serialization Safety
+
+All JS code is stored as a JSON string, then MessagePack-serialized to the Deno subprocess, then `eval()`'d. Patterns that break across this pipeline:
+
+- **Regex literals with `/`** — `/https?:\/\/([^/]+)/` corrupts. Use `new URL(str).hostname` or `str.split("//")[1].split("/")[0]` instead.
+- **Backslash-heavy patterns** — `\n`, `\t`, `\\` in regex/strings get misinterpreted. Prefer string methods (`.split()`, `.indexOf()`, `.includes()`) over regex.
+- **Literal newlines** — code string must be single-line. Use `;` between statements.
+
+**Rule of thumb**: prefer string methods over regex. When regex is unavoidable, use `new RegExp("pattern")` constructor over `/pattern/` literals.

+# File Handling
+
+How the runtime detects, parses, and exposes files across all protocol strategies (HTTP, FTP, SFTP, SMB).
+
+## When Does a Response Become a File?
+
+Every response is read as raw bytes. The runtime decides whether it routes to `producedFiles` (i.e. `sourceData.__files__`) or inline `data` using a priority chain — **not** based on size alone:
+
+1. **Magic-byte detection** (primary) — the raw bytes are inspected for known binary signatures (ZIP `PK\x03\x04`, PDF `%PDF`, GZIP `\x1f\x8b`, plus internal ZIP structure checks for Excel/DOCX). If matched, the response is a file regardless of size or HTTP headers. A 1KB ZIP and a 500MB ZIP both go to `__files__`.
+2. **`Content-Disposition: attachment`** — any response with `attachment` or `filename=` in this header becomes a file, even if byte detection found structured text.
+3. **`application/octet-stream`** — explicit octet-stream MIME becomes a file, catching binary payloads whose bytes don't match a known signature.
+4. **25MB size fallback** (last resort) — only applies when byte detection returned `RAW` (unrecognized format), the response is larger than 25MB, **and** the `Content-Type` is not clearly text-like (`text/*`, `application/json`, `*+json`, `application/xml`, etc.). This is the only path where size matters.
+
+Structured text responses (JSON, XML, CSV, YAML, HTML) that pass none of the above checks go to `data` only — no file entry.
+
+| Classification      | Types                       | Where result lives                                             |
+| ------------------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Binary**          | PDF, Excel, DOCX, ZIP, GZIP | `producedFiles` + `data` (extracted/parsed content)            |
+| **Structured text** | JSON, XML, CSV, YAML, HTML  | `data` only (parsed to JS objects)                             |
+| **RAW**             | Unrecognized                | File if attachment/octet-stream/25MB fallback, else raw string |
+
+Binary responses expose `stepFileKeys` and populate `sourceData.__files__`. Structured text responses only populate `sourceData.stepId.data`.
+
+File server `get` operations always produce files regardless of detected type — content goes into both `data` and `producedFiles`.
+
+## Auto-Parsing
+
+| Type  | Parsed result                                                 |
+| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| JSON  | Native JS object/array                                        |
+| CSV   | Array of objects (header row = keys)                          |
+| XML   | JS object tree                                                |
+| HTML  | JS object tree                                                |
+| YAML  | Native JS object                                              |
+| Excel | Object keyed by sheet name → array of row objects (see below) |
+| PDF   | `{ textContent, structuredContent: [{ page, text }] }`        |
+| DOCX  | Markdown string                                               |
+| ZIP   | Object keyed by entry filename, each value recursively parsed |
+| GZIP  | Recursively parsed inner content                              |
+| RAW   | UTF-8 string fallback                                         |
+
+Detection is heuristic for text formats. YAML requires `---`, `%YAML`, or multiple `key: value` lines to be recognized. Short or ambiguous YAML can fall through to RAW and appear as a plain string instead of a parsed object — both in `.data` and `.extracted`.
+
+### Excel rules
+
+- Excel is NEVER a flat array. It is always `{ "SheetName": [ {row}, ... ] }` — even for single-sheet files.
+- Access rows via `extracted.SheetName` or `extracted["Sheet1"]`, never `extracted[0]`.
+- When producing xlsx, use namespace `http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main` (not the truncated path).

+| Suffix       | Returns                     | Use case                                |
+| ------------ | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| `.raw`       | Original bytes (Uint8Array) | SFTP/FTP put, HTTP raw body upload      |
+| `.base64`    | Base64-encoded string       | APIs expecting base64 inside JSON/XML   |
+| `.extracted` | Parsed content              | Text fields needing parsed file content |
+
+Rules:
+
+- Bare `file::<key>` without a suffix is **NOT valid** — causes a runtime error
+- File references are resolved **only in body/content fields**, not in headers, query params, or URLs
+- For multi-file steps, use bracket notation: `file::stepId["report.csv"].raw`
+- For loop iterations: `file::stepId[0].raw`
+- Important: base64 access in transforms is capped at 500MB by design, so base64 encoded binary in transform steps is only available for files smaller than this
+
+## File Aliasing
+
+When a step produces files, the runtime first chooses a **root alias**:
+
+- non-loop step: `stepId`
+- loop iteration: `stepId[N]`
+
+Then it decides whether that root needs a filename suffix:
+
+- if that step/iteration produced **exactly one file**, the alias is just the root
+- if that step/iteration produced **multiple files**, append `["filename.ext"]` to distinguish them
+
+Examples:
+
+- one direct download: `downloadReport`
+- one loop iteration download: `downloadReport[0]`
+- one batch step returning multiple files: `downloadReport["summary.csv"]`
+- one loop iteration returning multiple files: `downloadReport[0]["summary.csv"]`
+
+This is about **one file vs many files at that step/iteration**, not about whether the runtime knows the filename. File server `get` operations know the filename, but single-file outputs still use the plain step ID (or `stepId[N]`) alias.
+
+Loop steps (those with a `dataSelector` that iterates) always use numeric indices — never filenames — even when each iteration fetches a named file. Filename brackets only appear when a single step or iteration returns multiple files in one response.
+
+These aliases are used both in `file::` references and as keys in `sourceData.__files__`.
+
+## Accessing Files in Transforms
+
+Inside `transformCode` and `outputTransform`, use `sourceData.__files__` with the **runtime alias**:
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.__files__.downloadStep; // correct (step ID for single file)
+sourceData.__files__["doubled.csv"]; // wrong (local filename)
+```
+
+For multi-file aliases with bracket notation, prefer discovering aliases from `stepFileKeys` or
+`Object.keys(sourceData.__files__)` instead of hardcoding quoted alias strings inside the transform
+code string. This avoids JSON/JS escaping mistakes like:
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.__files__['fetchThreeFiles[".bashrc"]']; // brittle inside JSON-encoded transform strings
+```
+
+Prefer:
+
+```javascript
+(sourceData) => {
+  return (sourceData.fetchThreeFiles.stepFileKeys || []).map(function (alias) {
+    var f = sourceData.__files__[alias];
+    return {
+      alias: alias,
+      filename: f ? f.filename : null,
+      size: f ? f.size : null,
+    };
+  });
+};
+```
+
+`sourceData.__files__` is **read-only**. To produce new files from a transform, return them via a `__files__` key:
+
+```javascript
+(sourceData) => ({
+  summary: "processed",
+  __files__: {
+    "output.csv": {
+      filename: "output.csv",
+      contentType: "text/csv",
+      raw: new TextEncoder().encode("a,b\n1,2\n"),
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Everything except `__files__` becomes the step's `data`. Single-file transforms get the step ID as alias; multi-file transforms use bracket notation.
+
+### `raw` rules
+
+- `raw` accepts: `Uint8Array | ArrayBuffer | number[] | string | object | null`.
+  - **String** → UTF-8 encoded. Pass a JSON string for structured data: `raw: JSON.stringify(data)`.
+  - **Object / array of objects** → automatically JSON-stringified to UTF-8 bytes. Works, but prefer explicit `JSON.stringify` with a `text/csv` or `application/json` contentType for clarity.
+  - **`null` / `undefined`** → produces an empty file (0 bytes).
+  - **`Uint8Array` / `ArrayBuffer` / `number[]`** → used as-is for binary content.
+- For binary formats (xlsx, zip, pdf): pass through original bytes via `sourceData.__files__.stepId.raw` — never construct the internal file structure as a JS object.
+
+## stepFileKeys
+
+Each step result exposes `stepFileKeys` — an array of runtime aliases for files produced by that step:
+
+```javascript
+sourceData.downloadStep.stepFileKeys; // ["downloadStep"]
+sourceData.batchDownload[0].stepFileKeys; // ["batchDownload[0]"]
+```
+
+Use `stepFileKeys` to dynamically discover which file aliases are available from a step.
