feat: adopt directory-based docs versioning with Edge channel (#6202)
* feat: adopt directory-based docs versioning with Edge channel Switch docs.crewai.com from navigation-only versioning (every version selector entry rendered the same docs/<lang>/* source files) to Mintlify's directory-based versioning so each version selector entry renders its own snapshot. Add an "Edge" channel under docs/edge/<lang>/* that always reflects main HEAD for unreleased work, eliminating pre-release leakage onto frozen release labels. External links to canonical /<lang>/* URLs are preserved via wildcard redirects that always land on the current default version. Layout: - docs/edge/<lang>/* rolling source (you edit here) - docs/edge/enterprise-api.*.yaml - docs/v<X.Y.Z>/<lang>/* frozen, immutable snapshots - docs/v<X.Y.Z>/enterprise-api.*.yaml - docs/images/ shared, append-only - docs/docs.json nav + redirects URLs follow the Mintlify-idiomatic shape: /edge/<lang>/<page> for Edge, /v<X.Y.Z>/<lang>/<page> for every frozen snapshot. The wildcard redirects /<lang>/:slug* -> /<default>/<lang>/:slug* keep stale links working, and every freeze rewrites them (plus all per-section/per-page redirects) so destinations always resolve to the current default without depending on a second redirect hop. Release flow integration (devtools release): - New module crewai_devtools.docs_versioning.freeze() materialises docs/v<X.Y.Z>/ from docs/edge/, rewrites openapi: refs inside the snapshot, inserts the version into every language block in docs.json, and refreshes all redirect destinations. - _update_docs_and_create_pr() in cli.py now calls that freeze during Phase 2 of devtools release. Edge changelogs are updated first (so the snapshot freeze picks them up), then the snapshot is staged alongside docs.json, branched as docs/freeze-v<X.Y.Z>, and the PR is titled [docs-freeze] docs: snapshot and changelog for v<X.Y.Z> — the title prefix the new CI guard reads. - The PR still gates tag, GitHub release, PyPI publish, and the enterprise release as before; no new PRs are added. - Pre-releases (1.X.YaN, 1.X.YbN, ...) skip the snapshot — they ride Edge — and the docs PR title omits the [docs-freeze] prefix. - docs_check (AI-generated docs scaffolding) writes to docs/edge/<lang>/* so newly-generated unreleased docs land in Edge and never accidentally touch a frozen snapshot. Migration scripts (one-shot): - scripts/docs/freeze_historical_versions.py reconstructs all 16 historical snapshots (v1.10.0 .. v1.14.7) from git tags via git archive | tar, rewriting openapi: MDX refs so each snapshot reads its own enterprise-api YAML rather than the live one. - scripts/docs/prefix_version_paths.py one-shot-migrates docs.json: rewrites every page path in 16 versioned blocks to point under docs/v<X.Y.Z>/, inserts a new Edge entry per language, tags v1.14.7 as Latest (default), prunes pages whose target file doesn't exist in the snapshot (e.g. docs/ar/ didn't exist before v1.12.0), and writes the wildcard + per-section redirects. - scripts/docs/freeze_current_edge.py is now a thin CLI wrapper around docs_versioning.freeze for manual one-off freezes (e.g. retroactively snapshotting a forgotten release). CI guards (.github/workflows/docs-snapshots.yml): - Frozen snapshots under docs/v[0-9]*/ are immutable; only PRs whose title contains [docs-freeze] (i.e. release-cut PRs generated by devtools release or the manual wrapper) may modify them. - Images under docs/images/ are append-only since snapshots share a single image directory. Deleting or renaming an image breaks every historical snapshot that still references it. Restored docs/images/crewai-otel-export.png from PR #3673; it was deleted in PR #4908 but v1.10.0 / v1.10.1 snapshots still reference it. Restoring instead of editing the snapshots preserves historical rendering fidelity and validates the new append-only rule retroactively. Tests: - lib/devtools/tests/test_docs_versioning.py covers the freeze: file copy, openapi rewrite, version insertion, default demotion, redirect upserts, per-section redirect rewriting, idempotency, and invalid inputs. Verified locally with mintlify broken-links: 0 broken links across the full site (Edge + 16 frozen versions, 4 locales). AGENTS.md (repo root) is the contributor guide for the new model; RELEASING.md is the release-cut runbook; README's Contribution section links to both.

# Docs contributor guide
|
||||
|
||||
The `docs/` directory is published at [docs.crewai.com](https://docs.crewai.com)
|
||||
by [Mintlify](https://www.mintlify.com/). Mintlify watches `docs/docs.json`
|
||||
and the MDX files referenced from it.
|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR for editing docs
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit MDX under `docs/edge/<lang>/...` (e.g. `docs/edge/en/concepts/agents.mdx`).
|
||||
- Your change ships under the **Edge** version selector the moment it merges
|
||||
to `main`. Edge follows `main` and is the channel for unreleased work.
|
||||
- On release cut, the current Edge state is frozen into `docs/v<X.Y.Z>/` and
|
||||
that snapshot becomes the new default version in the selector (tag:
|
||||
`Latest`). Canonical URLs (`/<lang>/...`) auto-redirect to the new default.
|
||||
- Never modify files under `docs/v*/`. Those are frozen release snapshots
|
||||
and the `docs-snapshots` CI guard rejects writes. The only exception is a
|
||||
release-cut PR (auto-generated by `devtools release` or the manual
|
||||
`scripts/docs/freeze_current_edge.py` wrapper), which uses a
|
||||
`[docs-freeze]` title prefix to opt out.
|
||||
- Never delete or rename files under `docs/images/`. Images are append-only.
|
||||
See [Images](#images) below.
|
||||
|
||||
## The version model
|
||||
|
||||
The site has one rolling channel (Edge) plus one frozen snapshot per
|
||||
release.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
docs/
|
||||
edge/ <-- Edge sources (you edit here)
|
||||
en/...
|
||||
pt-BR/ ko/ ar/
|
||||
enterprise-api.*.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
v1.14.7/ <-- frozen snapshot of v1.14.7
|
||||
en/...
|
||||
pt-BR/ ko/ ar/
|
||||
enterprise-api.*.yaml
|
||||
v1.14.6/...
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
images/ <-- shared, append-only
|
||||
docs.json <-- Mintlify config: navigation + redirects
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`docs/docs.json` lists one navigation block per version per language. Edge
|
||||
points at `docs/edge/<lang>/...`; every other version points at its own
|
||||
`docs/v<X.Y.Z>/<lang>/...` subtree. Mintlify scopes both the sidebar and the
|
||||
in-site search to whichever version the reader selects, so picking
|
||||
`v1.10.0` genuinely shows the v1.10.0 docs (and only those).
|
||||
|
||||
### URLs and canonical redirects
|
||||
|
||||
Each Mintlify version corresponds to its own URL prefix:
|
||||
|
||||
- Edge: `/edge/<lang>/<page>` (e.g. `/edge/en/concepts/agents`)
|
||||
- Frozen: `/v<X.Y.Z>/<lang>/<page>` (e.g. `/v1.14.7/en/concepts/agents`)
|
||||
|
||||
External links to the old, unversioned `/<lang>/<page>` URLs would 404 under
|
||||
this layout. To keep them working, `docs.json` ships wildcard redirects:
|
||||
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
{ "source": "/en/:slug*", "destination": "/v1.14.7/en/:slug*", "permanent": false }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The release-cut step rewrites the destination on every release so canonical
|
||||
`/<lang>/...` URLs always resolve to the latest stable docs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
1. **During development.** You add or edit pages under
|
||||
`docs/edge/<lang>/...` in normal PRs. They land in Edge as soon as the PR
|
||||
merges. Both `/edge/<lang>/<page>` and the version selector's `Edge` entry
|
||||
reflect the change immediately.
|
||||
2. **Release cut.** The release engineer runs `devtools release X.Y.Z`. As
|
||||
part of that flow the CLI opens a `[docs-freeze]` PR that copies Edge into
|
||||
`docs/v<X.Y.Z>/`, rewrites internal OpenAPI references, updates
|
||||
`docs/docs.json` to make `v<X.Y.Z>` the new default + `Latest`, and rewires
|
||||
the canonical-URL redirects to the new default. The PR must merge before
|
||||
the tag and PyPI publish run.
|
||||
3. **After release.** Edge keeps rolling. Patch fixes to the just-released
|
||||
docs go into Edge and ship with the next release. We do not back-edit
|
||||
frozen snapshots.
|
||||
|
||||
See [`RELEASING.md`](RELEASING.md) for the full release runbook.
|
||||
|
||||
## Images
|
||||
|
||||
Snapshots share a single `docs/images/` directory. If an image is deleted
|
||||
or renamed, every frozen snapshot that referenced it breaks. So the rule
|
||||
is:
|
||||
|
||||
- Adding new images is always fine.
|
||||
- Deleting or renaming an existing image fails CI unless the PR is a
|
||||
`[docs-freeze]` release-cut PR.
|
||||
- If an asset is wrong, add a new file with a new name and reference the
|
||||
new name in the Edge MDX (`docs/edge/<lang>/...`). Leave the old file
|
||||
alone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Local preview
|
||||
|
||||
Install the Mintlify CLI and run from `docs/`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm i -g mintlify
|
||||
mintlify dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use the version selector at the top of the rendered page to switch between
|
||||
Edge and frozen versions.
|
||||
|
||||
To check links across every version:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mintlify broken-links
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
CI runs the broken-links check on every PR that touches `docs/**` via
|
||||
[`.github/workflows/docs-broken-links.yml`](.github/workflows/docs-broken-links.yml).
|
||||
|
||||
## Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
- `scripts/docs/freeze_historical_versions.py` — one-time migration that
|
||||
reconstructed `docs/v1.10.0/` through `docs/v1.14.7/` from git tags. You
|
||||
should not need to run this again.
|
||||
- `scripts/docs/prefix_version_paths.py` — one-time migration that switched
|
||||
`docs/docs.json` to directory-based versioning, inserted Edge, and added
|
||||
the canonical-URL redirects. You should not need to run this again.
|
||||
- `scripts/docs/freeze_current_edge.py` — thin CLI wrapper around
|
||||
`crewai_devtools.docs_versioning.freeze`. `devtools release` calls the
|
||||
same module during its docs PR step; this script is the manual escape
|
||||
hatch (e.g. retroactively freezing a forgotten release).
|
||||
|
||||
## CI guards
|
||||
|
||||
- [`.github/workflows/docs-snapshots.yml`](.github/workflows/docs-snapshots.yml)
|
||||
enforces the two rules above (frozen snapshots immutable, images
|
||||
append-only). Both checks accept the `[docs-freeze]` PR-title escape
|
||||
hatch.
|
||||
- [`.github/workflows/docs-broken-links.yml`](.github/workflows/docs-broken-links.yml)
|
||||
runs `mintlify broken-links` against the whole site, so adding a new
|
||||
page or moving a snapshot file that breaks a link will fail CI.

### Contributing to the docs
|
||||
|
||||
The site at [docs.crewai.com](https://docs.crewai.com) is published from
|
||||
`docs/` by [Mintlify](https://www.mintlify.com/). The docs use directory-based
|
||||
versioning: edits to `docs/edge/<lang>/...` (e.g.
|
||||
`docs/edge/en/concepts/agents.mdx`) land under the **Edge** version selector
|
||||
immediately and are frozen into a new versioned snapshot under
|
||||
`docs/v<X.Y.Z>/` at the next release cut. Frozen snapshots are immutable — CI
|
||||
rejects PRs that modify them without a `[docs-freeze]` title prefix. The
|
||||
release CLI (`devtools release`) handles the freeze automatically; see
|
||||
[`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) for the full contributor guide and
|
||||
[`RELEASING.md`](RELEASING.md) for the release-cut runbook.
