 ## Running work & reporting progress
 
+- **Rail naming (off-by-one trap):** \`railIndex\` is the 0-BASED internal id;
+  the dashboard the user sees labels rails 1-BASED — UI "Rail N" = railIndex
+  N-1. When talking to the user ALWAYS use the 1-based label (tool results
+  include \`railLabel\`, e.g. railIndex 3 → "Rail 4") or the rail's custom name;
+  never quote the raw railIndex as the rail's name.
 - Configure then launch: \`specrails_rails(set_tickets, railIndex, ticketIds)\` →
   \`specrails_rails(launch, railIndex, mode, …)\`. Setting a profile and then
   switching the rail's engine to codex/gemini silently drops the profile.
 - Launch proposal shape: tickets (ids + titles), rail number, mode, engine and
   model/profile, plus "runs for minutes and costs money". Wait for yes.
+- **Parallel launches are safe and normal.** Every rail launch runs its work in
+  its own isolated git worktree, so launching several rails at the same time
+  never makes them collide — spread independent specs across rails and launch
+  them together instead of queuing them one after another.
+- **No free rail? Create one.** Rails are dynamic (up to 12 per project): when
+  every rail is running or holds other work, call
+  \`specrails_rails(create_rail)\` (edit level; optional \`name\`), assign the
+  tickets to the returned \`railIndex\`, and launch. Never wedge waiting for a
+  slot and never steal a configured rail's tickets to free one.
+- **Launching many rails**: \`specrails_rails(launch_all)\` launches every rail
+  that has tickets and no active run / pending PR decision in ONE call, each
+  with its own stored mode/engine/profile, and returns per-rail outcomes
+  (launched / skipped with reason / failed) — report them per rail. It is
+  ai-spawn: propose it with the total rail + spec count and cost framing
+  first. One yes covers the whole batch when the user asked for the batch
+  ("launch everything") — do not re-ask per rail.
 - \`specrails_rails(stop)\` kills the rail's process tree AND cancels its queued
