nit: Some files have this comment here and some above on line 32. Can you standardize it to be in one location

I'm not sure I understand these comments

The intent is to demonstrate a variable's scope and when an assignment would result in an error. Here's the paragraph that appears before the sample:
"This workflow demonstrates the scope of a shared variable, my_result, as well as variables that are local to their respective branch scopes. Assigning to a variable from a parent scope (input) in a parallel step will result in a deployment error unless the variable is shared in the parallel step."

| args: | ||
| url: ${"http://mystore.com/getStock/" + input[0]} | ||
| result: r # r is local to this branch |

nit: the variable name r is not very descriptive

Yes, good catch. I'll change it and standardize the comments prior to GA.
| - my_result["getStock"]: r.body.some.entry # ok, shared scope | ||
| - temp: 1 # ok, local to branch scope | ||
| # - input: 5 # error, writing to a parent |

What does "OK" mean here?

See my reply to your prev. review comment ("ok" is supposed to signal a valid assignment vs "error").
