feat: Add parallel run system with API key distribution

- Add predix_parallel.py: Run multiple factor experiments concurrently * python predix_parallel.py --runs 5 --api-keys 2 -m openrouter * Round-robin API key distribution across available keys * Rich live dashboard with per-run status, elapsed time, exit codes * Graceful shutdown (Ctrl+C kills all children cleanly) - Add --run-id parameter to predix.py for isolated single runs * Separate log files: fin_quant_run{N}.log * Separate results: results/runs/run{N}/ * Separate workspace: RD-Agent_workspace_run{N}/ * Separate databases per run - Modify CoSTEER and FactorRunner for PARALLEL_RUN_ID isolation * _save_intermediate_results uses run-specific directories * _save_result_to_database and _write_run_log isolated per run * _ensure_results_dirs creates run-specific paths - Reduce max_loop from 10 to 3 for faster iterations - Add docs/parallel_runs.md with full documentation Tests: 103 passed

+# Predix Parallel Run System
+
+## Overview
+
+The Parallel Run System enables concurrent execution of 5+ factor generation experiments with automatic API key distribution and complete isolation between runs.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `predix.py` | Extended with `--run-id` parameter for isolated single runs |
+| `predix_parallel.py` | Parallel runner manager with Rich live dashboard |
+| `factor_runner.py` | Modified to use `PARALLEL_RUN_ID` for path isolation |
+| `CoSTEER/__init__.py` | Modified to use `PARALLEL_RUN_ID` for intermediate results |
+
+### Directory Structure (Per Run)
+
+```

+│       └── ...

+```
+
+### Log Files
+
+```
+fin_quant.log                    # Single run (run_id=0)
+fin_quant_run1.log               # Parallel run #1
+fin_quant_run2.log               # Parallel run #2
+...
+```
+
+### Workspaces
+
+```
+RD-Agent_workspace/              # Single run (run_id=0)
+RD-Agent_workspace_run1/         # Parallel run #1
+RD-Agent_workspace_run2/         # Parallel run #2
+...
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### CLI - Single Parallel Run
+
+```bash
+# Run with isolated results
+predix quant --run-id 1 -m openrouter
+```
+
+### CLI - Parallel Runner (Direct)
+
+```bash
+# Run 5 experiments with 2 API keys
+python predix_parallel.py --runs 5 --api-keys 2
+
+# Run 3 experiments with local model
+python predix_parallel.py --runs 3 --model local
+
+# Custom configuration
+python predix_parallel.py -n 10 -k 2 -m openrouter
+```
+
+### Programmatic Usage
+
+```python
+from predix_parallel import main
+
+result = main(runs=5, api_keys=2, model="openrouter")
+print(f"Success: {result['success']}/{result['total']}")
+```
+
+## API Key Distribution
+
+The system distributes API keys using round-robin assignment:
+
+| Run ID | API Key | Model |
+|--------|---------|-------|
+| 1 | Key 1 | openrouter |
+| 2 | Key 2 | openrouter |
+| 3 | Key 1 | openrouter |
+| 4 | Key 2 | openrouter |
+| 5 | Key 1 | openrouter |
+
+**With 2 API keys:**
+- Runs 1, 3, 5 → Key 1
+- Runs 2, 4 → Key 2
+
+**LiteLLM Load Balancing:**
+When 2 API keys are available, the system configures LiteLLM for parallel request handling:
+```
+OPENAI_API_KEY=key1,key2
+LITELLM_PARALLEL_CALLS=2
+```
+
+## Isolation Guarantees
+
+Each parallel run is completely isolated:
+
+### Environment Variables
+- `PARALLEL_RUN_ID=N` - Identifies the run
+- `RD_AGENT_WORKSPACE` - Points to run-specific workspace
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - Assigned API key for this run
+
+### No Shared State
+- ✅ Separate log files
+- ✅ Separate result directories
+- ✅ Separate workspace directories
+- ✅ Separate database files (optional)
+- ✅ No race conditions (no shared mutable state)
+
+### Graceful Degradation
+- If a run fails, others continue unaffected
+- Each run is independently restartable
+- Results are persisted immediately after completion
+
+## Live Dashboard
+
+The parallel runner shows a Rich-based live dashboard:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  🔀 Predix Parallel Run Dashboard                       │
+├──────┬──────────┬──────────┬─────────┬──────────┬───────┤
+│ Run  │ Status   │ Elapsed  │ API Key │ Model    │ Exit  │
+├──────┼──────────┼──────────┼─────────┼──────────┼───────┤
+│ #1   │ ✅ success│ 02:15:30│ 1       │openrouter│ 0     │
+│ #2   │ 🔄 running│ 01:45:12│ 2       │openrouter│ --    │
+│ #3   │ 🔄 running│ 01:42:08│ 1       │openrouter│ --    │
+│ #4   │ ⏳ pending│ --:--:--│ 2       │openrouter│ --    │
+│ #5   │ ❌ failed │ 00:05:23│ 1       │openrouter│ 1     │
+├──────┴──────────┴──────────┴─────────┴──────────┴───────┤
+│  Summary: 5 total | 1 done | 2 running | 1 pending | 1 failed │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Signal Handling
+
+- **First Ctrl+C:** Gracefully stops all running subprocesses
+- **Second Ctrl+C:** Force kills all remaining processes
+- Dashboard updates in real-time during shutdown
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables (`.env`)
+
+```bash
+# Required for openrouter mode
+OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-your-first-key
+OPENROUTER_API_KEY_2=sk-or-your-second-key  # Optional
+
+# Required for local mode
+OPENAI_API_KEY=local
+OPENAI_API_BASE=http://localhost:8081/v1
+CHAT_MODEL=qwen3.5-35b
+
+# Optional: Custom model
+OPENROUTER_MODEL=openrouter/qwen/qwen3.6-plus:free
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+**Expected Speedup:**
+- 5 runs with 2 API keys ≈ 2.5× faster than sequential
+- 5 runs with local model ≈ 5× faster than sequential (no API rate limits)
+
+**Overhead:**
+- ~1 second per run for subprocess startup
+- Dashboard refresh: 2 Hz (negligible CPU)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Scenario | Behavior |
+|----------|----------|
+| Run fails | Logged, others continue |
+| API key exhausted | Retry with next key |
+| Ctrl+C pressed | Graceful shutdown of all runs |
+| Disk full | Error logged, run marked failed |
+| LLM timeout | Run fails, others unaffected |
+
+## Integration with Existing Code
+
+### factor_runner.py Changes
+
+```python
+# Before (shared paths)
+log_dir = project_root / "results" / "logs"
+factors_dir = project_root / "results" / "factors"
+
+# After (parallel-aware)
+parallel_run_id = os.getenv("PARALLEL_RUN_ID", "0")
+if parallel_run_id != "0":
+    log_dir = project_root / "results" / "runs" / f"run{parallel_run_id}" / "logs"
+    factors_dir = project_root / "results" / "runs" / f"run{parallel_run_id}" / "factors"
+```
+
+### CoSTEER/__init__.py Changes
+
+```python
+# Intermediate results isolation
+parallel_run_id = os.getenv("PARALLEL_RUN_ID", "0")
+if parallel_run_id != "0":
+    results_dir = project_root / "results" / "runs" / f"run{parallel_run_id}" / "costeer"
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run all integration tests
+pytest test/integration/test_all_features.py -v
+
+# Test parallel runner imports
+python -c "from predix_parallel import ParallelRunner, main; print('✅ OK')"
+
+# Test CLI options
+predix quant --help  # Should show --run-id option
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Auto-detect optimal number of parallel runs based on API rate limits
+- [ ] Result aggregation and comparison across runs
+- [ ] Dynamic API key rebalancing (assign more runs to faster key)
+- [ ] Support for >2 API keys
+- [ ] Run prioritization (run high-priority experiments first)
+- [ ] Slack/email notifications on completion
