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.

Integration tools let your agents hand off work to other automation platforms and managed AI services. Use them when a workflow needs to invoke an existing CrewAI deployment or delegate specialised tasks to providers such as Amazon Bedrock.
## **Available Tools**
<CardGroup cols={2}>
<Card title="Merge Agent Handler Tool" icon="diagram-project" href="/en/tools/integration/mergeagenthandlertool">
Securely access hundreds of third-party tools like Linear, GitHub, Slack, and more through Merge's unified API.
</Card>
<Card title="CrewAI Run Automation Tool" icon="robot" href="/en/tools/integration/crewaiautomationtool">
Invoke live CrewAI Platform automations, pass custom inputs, and poll for results directly from your agent.
</Card>
<Card title="Bedrock Invoke Agent Tool" icon="aws" href="/en/tools/integration/bedrockinvokeagenttool">
Call Amazon Bedrock Agents from your crews, reuse AWS guardrails, and stream responses back into the workflow.
</Card>
</CardGroup>
## **Common Use Cases**
- **Chain automations**: Kick off an existing CrewAI deployment from within another crew or flow
- **Enterprise hand-off**: Route tasks to Bedrock Agents that already encapsulate company logic and guardrails
- **Hybrid workflows**: Combine CrewAI reasoning with downstream systems that expose their own agent APIs
- **Long-running jobs**: Poll external automations and merge the final results back into the current run
## **Quick Start Example**
```python
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import InvokeCrewAIAutomationTool
from crewai_tools.aws.bedrock.agents.invoke_agent_tool import BedrockInvokeAgentTool
# External automation
analysis_automation = InvokeCrewAIAutomationTool(
crew_api_url="https://analysis-crew.acme.crewai.com",
crew_bearer_token="YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN",
crew_name="Analysis Automation",
crew_description="Runs the production-grade analysis pipeline",
)
# Managed agent on Bedrock
knowledge_router = BedrockInvokeAgentTool(
agent_id="bedrock-agent-id",
agent_alias_id="prod",
)
automation_strategist = Agent(
role="Automation Strategist",
goal="Orchestrate external automations and summarise their output",
backstory="You coordinate enterprise workflows and know when to delegate tasks to specialised services.",
tools=[analysis_automation, knowledge_router],
verbose=True,
)
execute_playbook = Task(
description="Run the analysis automation and ask the Bedrock agent for executive talking points.",
agent=automation_strategist,
)
Crew(agents=[automation_strategist], tasks=[execute_playbook]).kickoff()
```
## **Best Practices**
- **Secure credentials**: Store API keys and bearer tokens in environment variables or a secrets manager
- **Plan for latency**: External automations may take longer—set appropriate polling intervals and timeouts
- **Reuse sessions**: Bedrock Agents support session IDs so you can maintain context across multiple tool calls
- **Validate responses**: Normalise remote output (JSON, text, status codes) before forwarding it to downstream tasks
- **Monitor usage**: Track audit logs in CrewAI Platform or AWS CloudWatch to stay ahead of quota limits and failures
