Cause (Documented platform behavior): Step IDs are hashed for memoization; collisions in parallel chains get automatic indexing.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- Using the same ID for steps in different parallel chains can cause unexpected behaviour. Your function is still running.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Warning; step results may be indexed automatically and memoization can map differently than expected.
- Context
- Product: Inngest TypeScript SDK Component: execution engine step IDs Operation: Promise.all over step.run("call-tool", ...) for parallel LLM tool calls with a shared ID Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: inngest main at pinned SHA Trigger: Same step ID reused across parallel branches.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Inngest TS SDK] "Duplicate step ID X detected across parallel chains" (AUTOMATIC_PARALLEL_INDEXING) in parallel tool calls
Recommended action: Give every parallel step a unique ID (e.g. include tool call ID or index).
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
