docs(intent): a parallel branch is a chain, and forks may nest - #167
Merged
Conversation
Follows the platform change: a `kind: parallel` branch continues through its own routing (`next`, a decision's `then`/`else`, a boundary timer) and may itself be a `parallel`. A step declaring no routing is a branch terminal and joins; the routing literal `join` converges on the enclosing join gateway, which is how a decision inside a branch rejoins from both arms. Replaces the "planned follow-up, not yet supported" note with the rules that keep a branch a closed sub-flow.

Follows the platform change eclipse-dirigible/dirigible#6623 (issue #6568), which lifts the v1 restriction that a
kind: parallelbranch is a single step that joins directly.A branch is now a chain: it continues through its own routing (
next, a decision'sthen/else, a boundarytimeout/expire) and may itself be a nestedparallel. A step declaring no routing is a branch terminal and joins; the routing literaljoinconverges on the enclosing join gateway, which is how a decision inside a branch rejoins from both arms.Replaces the "planned follow-up, not yet supported" sentence with a worked example and the rules that keep a branch a closed sub-flow (no
endinside a branch, no step in two branches, entered through its fork only,nextoptional on a nested fork).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
