+- **Outer** batch: returns a list of diretory param dicts (e.g., `{"directory": "/pathA"}`, `{"directory": "/pathB"}`, ...).
-- Inner batch: summarize each file in a directory.
+- **Inner** batch: returning a list of per-file param dicts.
 
-The **outer** BatchFlow’s `exec()` can return a list of directories; the **inner** BatchFlow then processes each file in those dirs.
+At each level, **BatchFlow** merges its own param dict with the parent’s. By the time you reach the **innermost** node, the final `params` is the merged result of **all** parents in the chain. This way, a nested structure can keep track of the entire context (e.g., directory + file name) at once.
