Lucas Gomide a237ebabba 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.

title: Telemetry
description: Understanding the telemetry data collected by CrewAI and how it contributes to the enhancement of the library.
icon: signal-stream
mode: "wide"
---
## Telemetry
<Note>
By default, we collect no data that would be considered personal information under GDPR and other privacy regulations.
We do collect Tool's names and Agent's roles, so be advised not to include any personal information in the tool's names or the Agent's roles.
Because no personal information is collected, it's not necessary to worry about data residency.
When `share_crew` is enabled, additional data is collected which may contain personal information if included by the user.
Users should exercise caution when enabling this feature to ensure compliance with privacy regulations.
</Note>
CrewAI utilizes anonymous telemetry to gather usage statistics with the primary goal of enhancing the library.
Our focus is on improving and developing the features, integrations, and tools most utilized by our users.
It's pivotal to understand that by default, **NO personal data is collected** concerning prompts, task descriptions, agents' backstories or goals,
usage of tools, API calls, responses, any data processed by the agents, or secrets and environment variables.
When the `share_crew` feature is enabled, detailed data including task descriptions, agents' backstories or goals, and other specific attributes are collected
to provide deeper insights. This expanded data collection may include personal information if users have incorporated it into their crews or tasks.
Users should carefully consider the content of their crews and tasks before enabling `share_crew`.
Users can disable telemetry by setting the environment variable `CREWAI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` to `true` or by setting `OTEL_SDK_DISABLED` to `true` (note that the latter disables all OpenTelemetry instrumentation globally).
### Examples:
```python
# Disable CrewAI telemetry only
os.environ['CREWAI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY'] = 'true'
# Disable all OpenTelemetry (including CrewAI)
os.environ['OTEL_SDK_DISABLED'] = 'true'
```
### Data Explanation:
| Defaulted | Data | Reason and Specifics |
|:----------|:------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Yes | CrewAI and Python Version | Tracks software versions. Example: CrewAI v1.2.3, Python 3.8.10. No personal data. |
| Yes | Crew Metadata | Includes: randomly generated key and ID, process type (e.g., 'sequential', 'parallel'), boolean flag for memory usage (true/false), count of tasks, count of agents. All non-personal. |
| Yes | Agent Data | Includes: randomly generated key and ID, role name (should not include personal info), boolean settings (verbose, delegation enabled, code execution allowed), max iterations, max RPM, max retry limit, LLM info (see LLM Attributes), list of tool names (should not include personal info). No personal data. |
| Yes | Task Metadata | Includes: randomly generated key and ID, boolean execution settings (async_execution, human_input), associated agent's role and key, list of tool names. All non-personal. |
| Yes | Tool Usage Statistics | Includes: tool name (should not include personal info), number of usage attempts (integer), LLM attributes used. No personal data. |
| Yes | Test Execution Data | Includes: crew's randomly generated key and ID, number of iterations, model name used, quality score (float), execution time (in seconds). All non-personal. |
| Yes | Task Lifecycle Data | Includes: creation and execution start/end times, crew and task identifiers. Stored as spans with timestamps. No personal data. |
| Yes | LLM Attributes | Includes: name, model_name, model, top_k, temperature, and class name of the LLM. All technical, non-personal data. |
| Yes | Crew Deployment attempt using crewAI CLI | Includes: The fact a deploy is being made and crew id, and if it's trying to pull logs, no other data. |
| No | Agent's Expanded Data | Includes: goal description, backstory text, i18n prompt file identifier. Users should ensure no personal info is included in text fields. |
| No | Detailed Task Information | Includes: task description, expected output description, context references. Users should ensure no personal info is included in these fields. |
| No | Environment Information | Includes: platform, release, system, version, and CPU count. Example: 'Windows 10', 'x86_64'. No personal data. |
| No | Crew and Task Inputs and Outputs | Includes: input parameters and output results as non-identifiable data. Users should ensure no personal info is included. |
| No | Comprehensive Crew Execution Data | Includes: detailed logs of crew operations, all agents and tasks data, final output. All non-personal and technical in nature. |
<Note>
"No" in the "Defaulted" column indicates that this data is only collected when `share_crew` is set to `true`.
</Note>
### Opt-In Further Telemetry Sharing
Users can choose to share their complete telemetry data by enabling the `share_crew` attribute to `True` in their crew configurations.
Enabling `share_crew` results in the collection of detailed crew and task execution data, including `goal`, `backstory`, `context`, and `output` of tasks.
This enables a deeper insight into usage patterns.
<Warning>
If you enable `share_crew`, the collected data may include personal information if it has been incorporated into crew configurations, task descriptions, or outputs.
Users should carefully review their data and ensure compliance with GDPR and other applicable privacy regulations before enabling this feature.
