 ### Sync env vars from another service
 
-You could use the SDK functions above but it's much easier to use our `syncEnvVars` build extension in your `trigger.config` file.
+There are two ways to pull secrets from another service into Trigger.dev: a native **Secret Sync** (currently [Infisical](https://infisical.com)), or the `syncEnvVars` build extension for any other service.
+
+#### Infisical Secret Sync
+
+If your secrets live in [Infisical](https://infisical.com), sync them natively, without a build extension or a redeploy. You configure the sync in the Infisical dashboard, and it pushes secrets straight to your [Environment Variables page](#in-the-dashboard) in Trigger.dev. When a secret changes in Infisical the sync updates the matching variable, and your tasks pick up the new value on their next run.
+
+Set it up in Infisical in two steps:
+
+1. Add a **Trigger.dev App Connection** using a Trigger.dev Personal Access Token from your account settings. Self-hosted instances are supported.
+2. Create a **Secret Sync**: choose the connection, pick the target organization, project and environment (Production, Staging, Development, or Preview), and set the secret path to sync.
+
+Follow the [Trigger.dev Secret Sync guide](https://infisical.com/docs/integrations/secret-syncs/trigger-dev) in the Infisical docs for the full walkthrough.
+
+<Note>
+  A Secret Sync only overwrites the keys it manages, leaving variables you set manually untouched.
+  Synced variables are marked as [secret](#secret-environment-variables) by default, so they appear
+  redacted on the Environment Variables page.
+</Note>
+
+#### Using the `syncEnvVars` build extension
+
+For any other service, use our `syncEnvVars` build extension in your `trigger.config` file to resolve secrets at deploy time.
 
 <Note>
   To use the `syncEnvVars` build extension, you should first install the `@trigger.dev/build`
   package into your devDependencies.

 Batch triggers carry the id too. `batchTrigger` resolves it per item exactly as `trigger` does, and it survives the asynchronous materialisation of batch items — so a large batch triggered during a deploy waits and releases item by item, each pinned to the deployment its calling code came from.
 
+## Chat sessions
+
+[Chat agents](/ai-chat/overview) are covered by the same mechanism, with one difference: the id belongs to the **session**, not to a single trigger. It is resolved wherever you start the session — your server action, your route handler, `sessions.start()` — using the same order of precedence as a task trigger, and stored on the session. Every run that session goes on to schedule carries it: the first run, each continuation after an idle suspend, and each recovery after a crash.
+
+That is what you want for a conversation. A chat started by one release of your app keeps talking to the agent build that release shipped with, however many turns and however many runs that takes.
+
+Chats need the same two halves as tasks, and no more: a deployment carrying an id, and an app that sends the same one (explicitly, through `TRIGGER_EXTERNAL_DEPLOYMENT_ID`, or through [automatic discovery](#automatic-discovery)). There is nothing chat-specific to switch on, so an app already pinning its task runs gets pinned chats with no code change.
+
+```ts
+// app/actions.ts
+"use server";
+import { chat } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/ai";
+import type { myChat } from "@/trigger/chat";
+
+// No chat-specific setup: the id is discovered per call, exactly as it is for `trigger()`.
+export const startChatSession = chat.createStartSessionAction<typeof myChat>("my-chat");
+```
+
+Three things follow from the pin living on the session:
+
+- **Starting the session again refreshes it, and the conversation follows.** `sessions.start()` is idempotent on `chatId` and rewrites the stored config, so when your transport calls `startSession` after a redeploy, the session re-pins. A **running** agent then hands the conversation over at the next turn boundary, so the next message is answered by the deployment you just named — not several turns later when the old run happens to end. The turn already in flight finishes on the code it started on. Set [`versionSkew: "hold"`](/ai-chat/patterns/version-upgrades#staying-put) on an agent that should stay put instead.
+- **There is one pin per `chatId`.** If the same conversation is open in two tabs on two different releases of your app, whichever called `startSession` most recently sets the pin for both.
+- **A parked chat is waiting, not broken.** A run pinned to a deployment that hasn't landed parks, and every message sent meanwhile is stored durably and delivered once the deployment arrives. Nothing is lost — but nothing answers either, so tell the user. Re-pinning does not release a parked run: it keeps waiting for the deployment it was created for. If that deployment never lands, the run waits until its park deadline elapses, and the next message after that starts a fresh run on the session's current pin. Pass `pendingVersion` through your `startSession` callback and the transport emits a `run-pending-version` event:
+
+```tsx
+const transport = useTriggerChatTransport({
+  task: "my-chat",
+  accessToken: ({ chatId }) => mintChatAccessToken(chatId),
+  startSession: ({ chatId, clientData }) => startChatSession({ chatId, clientData }),
+  onEvent: (event) => {
+    if (event.type === "run-pending-version") setDeploying(true);
+    if (event.type === "first-chunk") setDeploying(false);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The event repeats on every message sent while the chat is parked, so a notice driven off it stays accurate. Its `source` says where the park was learned: `start` from creating the session, `send` from an append, `head-start` from the route's response header, and `upgrade` when a session followed its pin onto a deployment that hasn't landed yet — that last one arrives as soon as the handoff happens, without waiting for another message.
+
+[Head Start](/ai-chat/fast-starts#head-start) softens this considerably: turn 1 runs in your own warm process, so a parked deployment costs nothing until step 2. The handover signal is durable, so the agent picks the turn up where it left off once the deployment lands. The transport emits `run-pending-version` with `source: "head-start"` for that case, and `chat.startHeadStart` returns `pendingVersion` for the detached flow.
+
+### Opting a chat out
+
+Pass `null` and that chat is never pinned, whatever the environment says:
+
+```ts
+export const startChatSession = chat.createStartSessionAction<typeof myChat>("my-chat", {
+  triggerConfig: { externalDeploymentId: null },
+});
+```
+
+Use this for a conversation that should always run on the current version — a long-lived support thread, say — while the rest of your chats stay pinned. To turn pinning off everywhere instead, set `TRIGGER_AUTOMATIC_SKEW_VERSION_PROTECTION` to `0` and don't set `TRIGGER_EXTERNAL_DEPLOYMENT_ID`.
+
+### Escaping the pin from inside the agent
+
+[`chat.requestUpgrade()`](/ai-chat/patterns/version-upgrades) clears the session's external deployment id as part of the handoff, so the new run is free to land on the current version. Pass a target to move to a specific deployment instead:
+
+```ts
+chat.requestUpgrade({ externalDeploymentId: clientData.commitSha });
+```
+
+Either way the change is persisted on the session, so the next continuation doesn't fall back to the id the agent just rejected. `lockToVersion` is a separate, explicit pin and is never cleared — `requestUpgrade()` cannot escape it, which is also why a session using it never follows its external deployment id automatically.
+
 ## Waiting and expiry
 
 When a run arrives with an id that isn't deployed yet, it doesn't fail — it **waits**. This is the ordinary case, not an edge case: your app frequently goes live a few seconds before your task build finishes.

 ## What is Trigger.dev?
 
-Trigger.dev is an open source background jobs framework that lets you write reliable workflows in plain async code. Run long-running AI tasks, handle complex background jobs, and build AI agents with built-in queuing, automatic retries, and real-time monitoring. No timeouts, elastic scaling, and zero infrastructure management required.
+Trigger.dev is the open source platform for building and running durable AI agents and workflows in TypeScript. Run them for hours, configure automatic retries, control concurrency, and manage queues. There's no execution timeout, and no queue or worker infrastructure for you to build.
+
+You write agents and tasks in your existing codebase using our CLI and SDK, and get durable execution, queues, waits, full tracing, and elastic scaling without building any of it yourself.
 
-We provide everything you need to build and manage background tasks: a CLI and SDK for writing tasks in your existing codebase, support for both [regular](/tasks/overview) and [scheduled](/tasks/scheduled) tasks, full observability through our dashboard, and a [Realtime API](/realtime) with [React hooks](/realtime/react-hooks#realtime-hooks) for showing task status in your frontend. You can use [Trigger.dev Cloud](https://cloud.trigger.dev) or [self-host](/self-hosting/overview) on your own infrastructure.
+Trigger.dev's core is Apache-2.0 licensed, a genuine OSI license. [Self-host it](/self-hosting/overview) on your own infrastructure, or let [Trigger.dev Cloud](https://cloud.trigger.dev) run it for you.

+## Scale and scheduling
+
+Set how many runs of a task execute at once, globally or per tenant, with [queues and concurrency](/queue-concurrency). Run a task on a [cron schedule](/tasks/scheduled) with timezone support, choose the CPU and memory each task runs on with [machines](/machines), and control what happens when a task throws with [errors and retries](/errors-retrying).
+
+## Self-hosting
+
+Trigger.dev is open source and you can self-host. Read the [overview guide](/self-hosting/overview), or how to do it with [Docker](/self-hosting/docker) or [Kubernetes](/self-hosting/kubernetes).
+
+## Frequently asked questions
+
+**How do I add human-in-the-loop approval to an agent?** Pause the run on a [waitpoint](/wait-for-token) until a person approves the action. A waiting run doesn't consume compute, so it can wait minutes or days.
+
+**Does Trigger.dev support tool calling and MCP?** Yes. Agents call the tools you define, and the [MCP server](/building-with-ai) lets AI coding assistants trigger tasks, deploy, and read run traces.
+
+**Can I use Trigger.dev for background jobs, not just AI?** Yes. The same durable tasks, queues, retries, and [cron schedules](/tasks/scheduled) run any background job or workflow, with or without AI.

+**Current major version:** v4 (`@trigger.dev/sdk` 4.x). Documentation under `/docs/v2` and `/docs/v3` describes superseded versions and should not be used.
+
+**Execution model:** tasks run on Trigger.dev infrastructure, not inside your serverless functions, so a platform function timeout is not in the execution path. A task runs until it finishes; you can cap runtime with `maxDuration` (minimum 5 seconds).
+
+**Deploys:** each deploy is an atomic version. A run already in progress is not affected by code shipped after it started.

+**Durability and retries:** retries are automatic and configurable. A failed attempt is retried according to the task's retry settings; once retries are exhausted the run ends terminally as `FAILED`, and some crashes (for example out of memory) end the run as `CRASHED` without a retry. Idempotency keys deduplicate the task triggers and waits you key, so the same key runs once instead of again.

+**License:** the platform core is Apache-2.0 and the `@trigger.dev/sdk` package is MIT, permissive open source, not fair-code or source-available. Some features are gated, but the open source core is not relicensed or held back.
+
+**LLM observability coverage:** only Vercel AI SDK calls (`generateText`, `streamText`, `generateObject`) are recorded as spans. Raw `fetch` calls and provider SDKs used directly are not captured.

+Render an interpreted [health report](/reports) — a deterministic verdict, not a raw panel — as text with sparklines. The `health` report answers whether work is flowing, whether the runs that start are healthy, and whether the telemetry is fresh, with a headline verdict and a suggested next action. Returns markdown by default, or ANSI when `color` is set. Read-only.

 The format used for a time span is the same as the [jose package](https://github.com/panva/jose), which is a number followed by a unit. Valid units are: "sec", "secs", "second", "seconds", "s", "minute", "minutes", "min", "mins", "m", "hour", "hours", "hr", "hrs", "h", "day", "days", "d", "week", "weeks", "w", "year", "years", "yr", "yrs", and "y". It is not possible to specify months. 365.25 days is used as an alias for a year. If the string is suffixed with "ago", or prefixed with a "-", the resulting time span gets subtracted from the current unix timestamp. A "from now" suffix can also be used for readability when adding to the current unix timestamp.
