# Launch one run per target as a group (async)

> Launches ONE run per target — attached project environments, or attached named hosts — under a single **server-minted** `runGroupId`, then detaches execution and responds `202` with a per-target receipt.

This is the only endpoint with grouped-launch semantics. `POST /eval-runs` also accepts a `runGroupId`, but purely as a display label: it groups sibling rows in the UI and gives N separate launches no group treatment. Here the server bounds the fan-out (max 10 targets), validates EVERY target before launching any of them (an unattached target, a heterogeneous target list, or a target whose host selects an unavailable harness returns `400` with zero runs started), and holds exactly ONE organization concurrency slot for the whole group — released only when the last sibling finishes.

Targets fan out along ONE axis: all `environmentId` or all `namedHostId`, never a mix. Duplicates are deduplicated by id, preserving order.

A per-target failure does NOT abort its siblings, so read `outcome` rather than treating the `202` as "everything started": `started` means every target launched, `partial` means some did, `failed` means none did.

Send `Idempotency-Key` (or `idempotencyKey`) to make the launch replayable: the group id is DERIVED from the key, and each target carries a run key derived from that, so a retry after a crash mid-launch returns the original run ids instead of double-launching the targets that already started.

      summary: Launch one run per target as a group (async)
      description: >-
        Launches ONE run per target — attached project environments, or attached
        named hosts — under a single **server-minted** `runGroupId`, then
        detaches execution and responds `202` with a per-target receipt.


        This is the only endpoint with grouped-launch semantics. `POST
        /eval-runs` also accepts a `runGroupId`, but purely as a display label:
        it groups sibling rows in the UI and gives N separate launches no group
        treatment. Here the server bounds the fan-out (max 10 targets),
        validates EVERY target before launching any of them (an unattached
        target, a heterogeneous target list, or a target whose host selects an
        unavailable harness returns `400` with zero runs started), and holds
        exactly ONE organization concurrency slot for the whole group — released
        only when the last sibling finishes.


        Targets fan out along ONE axis: all `environmentId` or all
        `namedHostId`, never a mix. Duplicates are deduplicated by id,

        A per-target failure does NOT abort its siblings, so read `outcome`

        `targets` fan out along ONE axis: every entry is an `environmentId`, or
        every entry is a `namedHostId`. A mixed list returns `400` with
        `details.reason: "HETEROGENEOUS_TARGETS"` — mixing them would have to
        answer whether a host runs inside an environment or beside it, and every
        answer to that is a cross product nobody asked for. Duplicates are
        deduplicated by id, preserving order.


        The knobs below apply UNIFORMLY to every run in the group. `serverIds`
        and `refreshSnapshot` are deliberately absent: an environment supplies
        its own closed server set, a host derives one from its config, and
        last-writer-wins on a frozen suite snapshot is never what a fan-out
        means. Inline `tests` are absent for the same reason — a group runs a
        persisted suite.
