+# Docs builder project context
+
+## Project
+
+- This repo contains the docs builder tooling and local doc rendering workflows.
+- Main local preview command (after a successful build):
+
+  ```bash
+  dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- serve
+  ```
+
+- Default local URL: `http://localhost:3000/`
+- `serve` uses the docset at **`docs/`** relative to the current working directory when run from the repo root. Use `-p|--path` to point at another folder.
+
+## Important paths
+
+- Tooling project: `src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj`
+- Local docset used for quick validation (default for `serve`): `docs/`
+- Layout file commonly touched for sidebar + main structure: `src/Elastic.Markdown/_Layout.cshtml`
+
+## Workflow guidance
+
+- Prefer `serve` with the local `docs/` folder when validating layout or CSS changes quickly.
+- `serve` runs in **isolated** mode: isolated header, not the assembler elastic-nav. Sidebar may still use **Nav V2 markup** for styling; that is not the same as the **global** `navigation-v2.yml` tree produced by an assembler build.
+- If the task explicitly requires elastic-nav or fully assembled site behavior, use the **assembler** flow (`assembler build` / `assemble`, then `assembler serve`), not `serve` alone.
+
+## Validation expectations
+
+1. Build the CLI (required after C#, Razor, or embedded view changes):
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet build src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj
+   ```
+
+2. Run `serve` without rebuilding the project in the same invocation:
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- serve
+   ```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Warnings about navigation children or cross-links may appear in logs and do not necessarily block startup.
+- Confirm the server is running by checking for: `Now listening on: http://localhost:3000`
+- Static CSS/JS under `src/Elastic.Documentation.Site/_static/` is generated (e.g. when building `Elastic.Documentation.Site`); do not assume it is the only source of truth without rebuilding when changing `Assets/`.

+name: docs-assembler-nav-v2-preview
+description: >-
+  Rebuilds the assembled documentation snapshot and serves static HTML with the full global sidebar
+  from navigation-v2.yml (Nav V2 IA), elastic-nav shell, and dev feature flags. Use when the user needs
+  the complete assembler navigation tree—not isolated TOC—localhost:4000, NAV_V2, assembler build/serve,
+  stale layout/CSS on port 4000, blank page or connection refused on 4000, missing .artifacts/assembly,
+  or "Can not serve empty directory" when starting assembler serve.
+---
+
+# docs-assembler-nav-v2-preview
+
+## Purpose
+
+Use when the user wants:
+
+- The **full Nav V2 tree** driven by `config/navigation-v2.yml` (labels, `toc:` sections, placeholders, assembler wiring)
+- Preview on **`assembler serve`** (default **port 4000**), not isolated `serve` on 3000
+- To refresh `.artifacts/assembly` after layout, Razor, or `Assets/` CSS/JS changes (static HTML lags until rebuild)
+- To recover from an empty or failed assembly output before serving
+
+## Context
+
+- **Isolated `serve` (3000)** reuses Nav V2 **components** but feeds them the **local docset TOC** only. It does **not** load `navigation-v2.yml` as the global IA.
+- **Assembler build** produces `.artifacts/assembly` with **BuildType.Assembler**, **elastic-nav**, and—when the environment enables it—**`NAV_V2: true`** (see `config/assembler.yml` under `dev` and `preview`).
+- Default assembler environment is **`dev`** unless overridden; `dev` includes `NAV_V2: true`.
+- **`assembler serve`** only reads **pre-generated** files from `.artifacts/assembly` (plus Debug behavior for `_static`—see `StaticWebHost`). It does not re-run Razor per request.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Commands from the **docs-builder repository root**.
+- **Git checkouts** for assembler repos must be valid (e.g. `git rev-parse HEAD` works). If clones are missing or corrupt, run **`assembler clone`** before **`assembler build`**.
+- **Network** may be required for cross-link indices during build.
+- **GitHub access:** `assembler clone` pulls private `elastic/*` repositories. The machine needs **SSH keys or HTTPS + PAT** authorized for the org (including **SAML SSO** approval for Elastic org). Without that, clone/build will fail with `git fetch` exit **128** or SAML messages—**the agent cannot fix auth**; the user must sign in / authorize keys.
+
+### Without access to private repos (local Nav V2 smoke test)
+
+Use the **global** CLI flag **`--skip-private-repositories`** (stripped by `GlobalCli` before subcommands) on **clone** and **build** so private entries (`cloud`, `integration-docs`, etc.) are omitted. The local `docs/` tree is injected as **docs-builder** content per `AssemblyConfiguration`.
+
+```bash
+dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- --skip-private-repositories assembler clone
+dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- --skip-private-repositories assembler build --environment dev
+dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assembler serve --port 4000
+```
+
+**Caveat:** the assembled site is **incomplete** vs production (missing private docsets). **Nav V2** and **navigation-v2.yml** still render for what remains—enough for UI/IA checks. Documented similarly in `CONTRIBUTING.md` (Aspire / integration tests).
+
+## When the user asks to "run the build" or fix an empty 4000
+
+Execute in order (from repo root), and **report each outcome**:
+
+1. `dotnet build src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj`
+2. `dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assembler clone`  
+   — or with **`-- --skip-private-repositories`** before `assembler clone` if private repos fail (see above).
+3. `dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assembler build --environment dev`  
+   — same optional **`--skip-private-repositories`** prefix if step 2 used it.
+4. Verify output exists, e.g. `test -f .artifacts/assembly/docs/index.html` (or `ls .artifacts/assembly/docs/`)
+5. Only then: `dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assembler serve --port 4000`
+
+If step 2 or 3 fails, **do not** expect step 5 to work; see **Troubleshooting**.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Build the CLI** (pick up Razor, C#, and embedded site changes):
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet build src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj
+   ```
+
+2. **Ensure sources exist** (if the previous build failed with git errors):
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assembler clone
+   ```
+
+3. **Regenerate assembly output** (this cleans and repopulates `.artifacts/assembly` on success):
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assembler build
+   ```
+
+   Optional: set environment explicitly to match `assembler.yml` (defaults to `dev`):
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assembler build --environment dev
+   ```
+
+4. **Serve the snapshot**:
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assembler serve --port 4000
+   ```
+
+5. **Open the site** — root often redirects to `docs`; dev URI in config is `http://localhost:4000` with `path_prefix: docs`, so start from:
+
+   - `http://localhost:4000/` (redirect), or  
+   - `http://localhost:4000/docs/` as needed.
+
+6. **Verify Nav V2** — in the sidebar HTML, look for `data-nav-v2` / `docs-sidebar-nav-v2` on a normal doc page inside the assembled site.
+
+7. **Confirm the server is listening** — logs must include `Now listening on: http://localhost:4000`. Optionally check `lsof -i :4000 -sTCP:LISTEN` or `curl -sI http://localhost:4000/`.
+
+## Troubleshooting: nothing on port 4000 / blank / connection refused
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
+|--------|----------------|------------|
+| Browser cannot connect; **nothing listening** on 4000 | `assembler serve` never started or crashed on startup | Run serve after a **successful** build; read the console error. |
+| **`Can not serve empty directory: …/.artifacts/assembly`** | `.artifacts/assembly` **does not exist** (or tooling treats it as missing) | Run **`assembler build`** successfully first. `StaticWebHost` throws if the directory is absent (`StaticWebHost.cs` checks `dir.Exists`). |
+| **`assembler build`** fails with **`git rev-parse HEAD`** / exit **128** | Checkout dir exists but is **not a valid git repo** or has no commits | Re-clone or fix that checkout under the assembler checkouts path (see clone logs). |
+| **`assembler clone`** / **`git fetch`** fails with **SAML SSO** / access rights | Host is **not authenticated** to Elastic org repos | User must use PAT + SSO or SSH key **authorized for the org**; retry `assembler clone`. |
+| Build succeeded earlier but UI looks old | Serving **stale** snapshot | Re-run **`assembler build`** after code/CSS changes, then serve again. |
+
+**Pre-flight before claiming 4000 works:**
+
+```bash
+test -d .artifacts/assembly && test -f .artifacts/assembly/docs/index.html && echo "assembly OK" || echo "assembly missing or incomplete"
+```
+
+## One-shot alternative
+
+Equivalent to clone + build + serve in one flow (long-running):
+
+```bash
+dotnet build src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj
+dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- assemble --serve
+```
+
+(`assemble` may clone and build; `--serve` uses port **4000** by default per product docs.)
+
+## Response template
+
+- **CLI build:** success / failure
+- **Assembler build:** success / failure (note if `assembly` was cleaned mid-failure)
+- **Serve:** URL and port
+- **Nav:** confirm full tree requires successful **assembler** build with **`NAV_V2`** for the chosen environment
+- **If stale UI:** remind that **`assembler build`** must complete after code changes before **`assembler serve`**
+- **If 4000 is empty:** state whether **port is listening**, whether **`.artifacts/assembly`** exists, and the **last error** from clone/build/serve (auth vs git vs missing directory)
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Do **not** tell the user that isolated **`serve` on 3000** shows the **`navigation-v2.yml`** global tree.
+- Do **not** assume **`assembler serve`** reflects the latest Razor/CSS without a successful **`assembler build`** after those changes.
+- If **`assembler build`** fails after cleaning output, **`assembler serve`** may serve nothing or old content—fix clones/build first.
+- **`--assume-build`** skips regeneration when output exists; avoid it when the user explicitly needs **fresh** HTML/CSS.

+description: >-
+  Builds and runs the docs-builder isolated preview server (Kestrel on localhost, default port 3000).
+  Use when the user wants local preview, localhost docs, serve mode, layout/CSS validation in isolated
+  mode, or to check if the dev server is up and whether log warnings block startup.
+---
+
+# docs-builder-serve
+
+## Purpose
+
+Apply this skill when the user wants to:
+
+- Run docs-builder locally for preview
+- Open or verify `http://localhost:3000/` (or another `--port`)
+- Know if a log line is blocking startup or safe to ignore
+- Validate layout or static asset behavior in **isolated** mode (not assembler)
+
+## Context
+
+- **Mode:** `serve` = isolated preview (isolated header, **not** elastic-nav from assembler).
+- **Tooling project:** `src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj`
+- **Default docset:** `docs/` relative to the **repository root** (current working directory should be the repo root when running commands). Override with `-p|--path` if needed.
+- **Default URL:** `http://localhost:3000/` (use `--port <n>` to change)
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Build the CLI** (required after C#, Razor, or embedded view changes):
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet build src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj
+   ```
+
+2. **Start the server** without compiling again in the same invocation:
+
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj --no-build -- serve
+   ```
+
+   Optional: `serve --port 3001` (or another port) if 3000 is busy.
+
+3. **Inspect terminal output**
+
+   - Success: look for `Now listening on: http://localhost:3000` (or the chosen port).
+   - **Non-blocking (typical):** cross-link / navigation children warnings during docset load often still allow startup.
+   - **Blocking:** process exits, or no “Now listening” line after a clear fatal error.
+
+4. **Report clearly**
+
+   Use the response template below unless the user only asked a narrow question.
+
+5. **How to stop**
+
+   - `Ctrl+C` in the terminal running the server.
+   - If the user must free the port without that terminal: `lsof -ti :3000 | xargs kill` (adjust port); only suggest killing PIDs the user owns.
+
+## Response template
+
+- **Build:** success / failure (short reason if failure)
+- **Server:** running / not running
+- **URL:** `http://localhost:3000/` (or actual port)
+- **Mode:** isolated `serve` (not assembler static output)
+- **Logs:** brief note on any warnings and whether they block preview
+- **Stop:** `Ctrl+C` (and port-kill only if relevant)
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Do **not** describe elastic-nav as available in isolated `serve`; assembler is a separate flow (`assembler build` / `assemble` + `assembler serve`).
+- Do **not** equate isolated sidebar Nav V2 **markup** with the **global** `navigation-v2.yml` tree from an assembler build.
+- Treat cross-link / navigation-structure warnings as **non-blocking** unless startup fails or logs show an unhandled exception before listening.
+- Run commands from the **docs-builder repository root** so `docs/` and project paths resolve correctly.

+  Guides validation of documentation page layout: sidebar, main column width, TOC column, and
+  `_Layout.cshtml` changes via isolated `serve`. Use when the user works on sidebar/main spacing,
+  full-bleed nav, `doc-page-main`, Nav V2 chrome, or asks if a layout tweak shows in local preview
+  versus assembler-only behavior.
+---
+
+# docs-layout-validation
+
+## Purpose
+
+Use when the task involves:
+
+- Sidebar / pages nav layout or width
+- Main content width, max-width, centering, or horizontal spacing
+- Changes to `src/Elastic.Markdown/_Layout.cshtml` or related layout CSS
+- Judging whether a layout tweak is visible in **local isolated preview** or needs **assembler**
+
+## Relevant files
+
+- **Primary Razor layout:** `src/Elastic.Markdown/_Layout.cshtml`
+- **Sidebar partial:** `src/Elastic.Documentation.Site/Layout/_PagesNav.cshtml`
+- **Nav tree / V2 markup:** `src/Elastic.Documentation.Site/Navigation/_TocTree.cshtml`, `_TocTreeNavV2.cshtml`
+- **Shared layout CSS (tokens, sidebar chrome, `doc-page-main`):** `src/Elastic.Documentation.Site/Assets/styles.css`
+- **CLI for preview:** `src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj`
+
+After changing `Assets/*.css`, ensure `Elastic.Documentation.Site` (or full docs-builder build) has run so `_static/styles.css` is regenerated; it is not committed and isolated `serve` uses the built static bundle.
+
+## What isolated `serve` validates
+
+Good source of truth for:
+
+- Grid/flex structure of sidebar + main + TOC column (as rendered by `Elastic.Markdown` default layout)
+- Spacing, padding, max-width rules applied in that layout path
+- Responsive behavior at **md+** vs stacked mobile layout where applicable
+- Whether Razor/CSS changes compile and render in **BuildType.Isolated**
+
+## What isolated `serve` does not replace
+
+Requires **assembler build** + **`assembler serve`** (or deployed assembly) to validate:
+
+- **elastic-nav** and header chrome from assembler
+- **Global** navigation from `navigation-v2.yml` / assembler navigation pipeline
+- Final HTML snapshot behavior under `.artifacts/assembly`
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+1. **Identify touched files** (Razor vs CSS vs both) and whether behavior is layout-only or navigation-data-driven.
+2. **Rebuild** what embeds views or generates CSS:
+   - `dotnet build src/tooling/docs-builder/docs-builder.csproj` (and Site project if only CSS in `Assets/` changed without going through full build).
+3. **Run isolated preview** (see project skill `docs-builder-serve` or rule `docs-builder`): `serve` on `http://localhost:3000/`.
+4. **Open a normal Markdown doc page** (not only landing / full-search / special layouts) if the change targets the default doc layout.
+5. **Check in the browser**
+   - Sidebar position and width (including full-bleed vs centered shell)
+   - Main + “On this page” column alignment
+   - Regressions at **md** and **lg** if the change targets breakpoints
+6. **Report**
+   - What files drive the visible change
+   - Confirmed or not in isolated `serve`
+   - Whether **assembler** validation is still recommended (elastic-nav / global nav / static output freshness)
+
+## Response style
+
+Be explicit about:
+
+- What **can** be validated with isolated `serve`
+- What **still** needs assembler (or a fresh `assembler build` before `assembler serve`)
+- Whether symptoms point to **layout/CSS** vs **navigation YAML / cross-links / toc data**
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Never claim isolated `serve` **fully** validates elastic-nav or the assembled site.
+- If symptoms match **assembled** navigation or stale **port 4000** static output, recommend `dotnet build` + `assembler build` (or `assemble`) then `assembler serve`, and a hard refresh.
+- Separate **visual/layout** issues from **navigation content** issues (toc, docset, cross-links).
+- Do not assume changes under `src/Elastic.Documentation.Site/Assets/` are live without a build that regenerates `_static/`.

+description: Refreshes local docs previews on localhost:3000 (isolated serve with FEATURE_NAV_V2=true) and localhost:4000 (assembler snapshot). Run proactively after changes to CSS, Razor/cshtml, navigation, or site assets that affect the sidebar or layout—do not wait for the user to ask. Also use when the user reports stale preview, connection refused, or asks to restart rebuilds.
+---
+
+# Docs Refresh 3000/4000
+
+## Purpose
+
+Run the full refresh loop so UI changes are visible in both local previews:
+
+- `http://localhost:3000` → isolated `serve` with `FEATURE_NAV_V2=true`
+- `http://localhost:4000` → `assembler serve` from `.artifacts/assembly`
+
+## When to Use (automatic)
+
+**After completing edits** that affect what you see in the browser previews, run this workflow **without being asked**, including:
+
+- `src/Elastic.Documentation.Site/Assets/styles.css` or other CSS
+- `*.cshtml` (layout, nav, `_TocTreeNavV2`, etc.)
+- `Assets/**/*.tsx` / web components bundled into the site
+- navigation-related TypeScript (e.g. `pages-nav-v2.ts`)
+
+Skip only for pure C# backend changes with no UI impact, or when the user explicitly declines a rebuild.
+
+## When to Use (on request)
+
+- User says changes are not reflected on `3000` or `4000`
+- Stale CSS or blank/old layout on either port
+- User asks to restart both servers or rebuild the snapshot
+
+## Commands (from repo root)
+
+1. **Build** (regenerates static assets consumed by the assembler):
+
+```bash
+dotnet build
+```
+
+2. **Rebuild assembled snapshot** (required for `:4000`; use skip flag if private clones fail):
+
+```bash
+dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder -- assembler build --skip-private-repositories
+```
+
+3. **Stop** existing listeners on 3000/4000 (if any):
+
+```bash
+pids=$(lsof -t -nP -iTCP:3000 -sTCP:LISTEN 2>/dev/null); [ -n "$pids" ] && kill $pids
+pids=$(lsof -t -nP -iTCP:4000 -sTCP:LISTEN 2>/dev/null); [ -n "$pids" ] && kill $pids
+```
+
+4. **Start isolated serve** (3000):
+
+```bash
+FEATURE_NAV_V2=true dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder -- serve --port 3000
+```
+
+5. **Start assembler serve** (4000):
+
+```bash
+dotnet run --project src/tooling/docs-builder -- assembler serve --port 4000
+```
+
+Background the last two if appropriate; confirm startup with logs or `lsof`.
+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+- Logs show `Application started` / listening on `localhost:3000` and `localhost:4000`
+- `lsof -nP -iTCP:3000 -sTCP:LISTEN` returns a process
+- `lsof -nP -iTCP:4000 -sTCP:LISTEN` returns a process
+
+If the user still does not see updates, suggest a hard refresh:
+
+- macOS: `Cmd + Shift + R`
+- or a private window
+
+## Notes
+
+- `assembler serve` only serves what is in `.artifacts/assembly`; new CSS/Razor needs **`dotnet build` + `assembler build`** before restarting `:4000`.
+- Isolated `serve` on `:3000` picks up rebuilt site assets after `dotnet build`; restart if something looks cached.
+- `--skip-private-repositories` avoids clone failures (e.g. SAML/private repos) during local preview.

+# Card group
+
+A section heading + a card grid container. Wraps one or more [`{link-card}`](link-card.md) directives.
+
+## Basic
+
+```markdown
+::::{card-group}
+:title: Install and administer
+:id: install
+
+:::{link-card}
+title: Self-managed
+link: /deploy/self-managed
+description: Run on your own infrastructure.
+links:
+  - { label: Docker, url: /deploy/docker }
+:::
+
+:::{link-card}
+title: Elastic Cloud Hosted
+link: /deploy/cloud
+description: Managed deployments on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
+:::
+::::
+```
+
+The outer fence uses **four** colons (`::::`) so the inner three-colon `:::` fences for the cards aren't interpreted as a closing fence. Use as many extra colons on the outer fence as you need to nest cleanly.
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Notes |
+|---|---|
+| `:title:` | H2 heading. Optional — without it, only the grid renders. |
+| `:intro:` | Optional intro paragraph below the heading. |
+| `:id:` | Section anchor. Picked up by [`{on-this-page}`](on-this-page.md). |
+
+## Layout
+
+The grid auto-fills 1, 2, or 3 columns based on viewport width using `grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(310px, 1fr))`. Card heights match within a row.

+# Hero
+
+A full-bleed hero band with a product icon, page title, description, fake search box, version dropdown, quick-action pills, and an optional release-status line. Designed for the [hub layout](hub-pages.md) but reusable on any page.
+
+All hero content is supplied via options. The directive body is not used.
+
+## Basic
+
+```markdown
+:::{hero}
+:icon: kibana
+:title: Kibana
+:description: The UI for the Elasticsearch platform.
+:version: v9 / Serverless (current)
+:::
+```
+
+The `:title:` option doubles as the page title (no body H1 needed). `:description:` supports inline markdown — links, bold, emphasis.
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `:title:` | string | **Required.** Page heading shown next to the icon. Also picked up as the document's page title. |
+| `:description:` | inline markdown | One-line summary shown below the title. Supports bold, italics, and links. |
+| `:icon:` | string | Product key. Resolves to an inline SVG via the product-icon lookup. Known keys: `elasticsearch`, `kibana`, `observability`, `security`. Unknown keys fall back to a single-letter chip. |
+| `:version:` | string | Label inside the version chip (e.g. `v9 / Serverless (current)`). |
+| `:versions:` | comma list | When set, the chip becomes a `<details>` dropdown listing other versions. Items use `Label` (greyed, "soon") or `Label=URL` (clickable). |
+| `:quick-links:` | comma list, `Label=URL` | Pill bar below the version chip. |
+| `:releases:` | inline markdown | Small status line under the pills, supports inline links and bold/italic. |
+| `:search:` | bool, default `true` | Show the placeholder search box. |
+
+## Version dropdown
+
+```markdown
+:::{hero}
+:icon: kibana
+:title: Kibana
+:description: The UI for the Elasticsearch platform.
+:version: v9 / Serverless (current)
+:versions: v8=https://www.elastic.co/docs/products/kibana/8.x,v7
+:::
+```
+
+`v8=...` is a clickable link. `v7` (no `=URL`) renders greyed out with a "soon" badge.
+
+## Quick links and releases
+
+```markdown
+:::{hero}
+:icon: elasticsearch
+:title: Elasticsearch
+:description: The distributed search and analytics engine.
+:version: v9 / Serverless (current)
+:quick-links: Install=/install,API reference=/api,Release notes=/release-notes
+:releases: Latest&#58; [Stack 9.4.1](/rn) (Mar 28, 2026) · [Serverless deployed](/srn) Apr 1, 2026
+:::
+```
+
+The `:releases:` option is inline markdown — same syntax as a single line of body markdown. Use `&#58;` for a literal colon when you don't want YAML to parse the value as a key/value pair.

+# Hub pages
+
+Hub pages are product-scoped landing pages — a 360° overview of one product across versions, deployment types, and surfaces. They're enabled by setting `layout: hub` in the page's frontmatter and composed from a small set of dedicated directives.
+
+## Enable the layout
+
+```yaml
+---
+layout: hub
+---
+```
+
+The `hub` layout drops the right-rail "On this page" TOC and the prev/next nav. The body owns the full width of the content column so directives can render full-bleed sections.
+
+## Directives
+
+| Directive | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| [`{hero}`](hero.md) | Full-bleed page hero with product icon, title, search, version dropdown, and quick-action pills. |
+| [`{on-this-page}`](on-this-page.md) | Auto-generated inline TOC linking each section anchor on the page. |
+| [`{intro}`](intro.md) | Small "getting started" callout panel with a teal accent bar. |
+| [`{whats-new}`](whats-new.md) | "What's new" panel populated from `config/whats-new.yml`. |
+| [`{card-group}`](card-group.md) | Section heading + card grid container. |
+| [`{link-card}`](link-card.md) | Rich card with title, description, primary link list, and optional aside. |
+

+  - { label: Configure, url: /deploy/configure }
+:::
+::::
+```
+
+## Product badges
+
+Every regular (non-hub) page that declares one or more `products:` in its frontmatter automatically gets a clickable badge above its H1, linking to that product's hub page. The badge → hub URL mapping is set per product in [`config/products.yml`](../configure/site/products.md):
+
+```yaml
+products:
+  kibana:
+    display: 'Kibana'
+    versioning: 'stack'
+    hub: 'products/kibana/9.0'   # path slug -- relative to site root
+```
+
+When `hub:` is null, no badge renders for that product.

+# Intro callout
+
+A small white panel with a teal accent bar — used for "getting started" callouts directly under the hero.
+
+## Basic
+
+```markdown
+:::{intro}
+**New to Kibana?** [Take the tutorial](/tutorial) — a 30-minute, hands-on walk-through of Discover, dashboards, and ES|QL.
+:::
+```
+
+Body is rendered as inline markdown. Use bold, links, and emphasis freely; keep it to one or two short paragraphs.
+
+## When to use
+
+`{intro}` is the standard "front door" panel between the [`{hero}`](hero.md) and the [`{on-this-page}`](on-this-page.md) chip. It's optional — skip it when the hero already says what readers need to know next.
+
+It is **not** an admonition. For caution / note / tip-style callouts inside body content, use the existing [admonitions](admonitions.md).

+# Link card
+
+A rich card with a title, description, primary link list, and an optional aside.  Designed to live inside a [`{card-group}`](card-group.md), but renders standalone too.
+
+## Basic
+
+```markdown
+:::{link-card}
+title: Discover
+link: /discover
+description: Browse documents, filter, and query your indices in real time.
+links:
+  - label: Get started with Discover
+    url: /discover/get-started
+  - label: Use ES|QL in Kibana
+    url: /esql
+:::
+```
+
+The card body is **YAML, not markdown** — the directive expects a fixed schema and renders it. Authors don't write HTML, fences, or any directive options; they fill in fields.
+
+## Schema
+
+```yaml
+title: Discover                    # required -- card heading
+link: /discover/                   # optional -- makes the title clickable
+description: One-paragraph blurb.  # optional
+icon: elasticsearch                # optional -- product-keyed inline SVG
+variant: es                        # optional accent: es | obs | sec
+links:                             # optional -- primary link list
+  - label: Get started
+    url: /discover/get-started
+  - label: Use ES|QL
+    url: /esql
+aside:                             # optional bottom rail
+  label: Panel types
+  links:
+    - { label: Visualizations, url: /viz }
+    - { label: Maps, url: /maps }
+    - { label: Text, url: /text }
+```
+
+## Variants
+
+`variant: es | obs | sec` adds a left-border accent in the corresponding solution color (yellow / pink / teal). Use for solution cards.
+
+```markdown
+:::{link-card}
+title: Elasticsearch
+link: /solutions/elasticsearch
+icon: elasticsearch
+variant: es
+description: Build powerful search and RAG applications.
+links:
+  - { label: Solution overview, url: /solutions/elasticsearch }
+  - { label: Get started, url: /solutions/elasticsearch/get-started }
+aside:
+  label: Key features
+  links:
+    - { label: Vector search, url: /solutions/search/vector }
+    - { label: Semantic search, url: /solutions/search/semantic }
+:::
+```
+
+## Aside
+
+The optional `aside` adds a separator line and a small label + dot-separated inline link list. Use it for supplementary references that don't fit the primary link list (e.g. "Panel types", "Chart types", "Key features").
+
+## Errors
+
+The directive emits build errors when:
+
+- The body isn't valid YAML.
+- `title` is missing or empty.

+# On this page
+
+Inline TOC chip. Auto-collects every [`{card-group}`](card-group.md) and [`{whats-new}`](whats-new.md) on the same page that has both an `id` and a `title`, and renders them as middle-dot-separated anchor links inside a single rounded panel.
+
+## Basic
+
+```markdown
+:::{on-this-page}
+:::
+```
+
+That's the whole directive — no options, no body. Drop it once on a hub page (typically right after the [`{hero}`](hero.md)) and it stays in sync as you add or remove sections.
+
+## How items are collected
+
+For each section directive on the page, an item is added to the chip when:
+
+- The directive declares an `id` (becomes the anchor — `#install`).
+- The directive declares a `title` (becomes the link label).
+
+`{card-group}`s with no `:title:` are skipped. `{whats-new}` panels populated from `config/whats-new.yml` get their `id` and `title` from that file; if the entry sets neither, the `{whats-new}` block is skipped.
+
+## Order
+
+Items appear in document order — top to bottom of the page.

+# What's new
+
+A panel with a "New" badge, section title, optional release-notes link list on the right, and rows of recent highlights. Each row has a title, description, and right-aligned meta pill (e.g. `9.4 preview`, `Mar 2026`).
+
+## Centralized lookup (recommended)
+
+Edit content in one place — [`config/whats-new.yml`](../configure/site/products.md) — and any page can render a product's panel with a one-line directive:
+
+```markdown
+:::{whats-new}
+:product: kibana
+:::
+```
+
+`config/whats-new.yml` schema:
+
+```yaml
+products:
+  kibana:
+    title: What's new in Kibana
+    id: whats-new                     # used as the section anchor
+    badge: New                        # optional, default 'New'
+    release-links:
+      - { label: '9.4', url: /release-notes/kibana }
+      - { label: Serverless, url: /release-notes/serverless }
+    items:
+      - title: Dashboards APIs
+        description: Programmatically create and manage dashboards
+        link: /api/dashboards
+        meta: 9.4 preview
+      - title: AI agent skills
+        description: Teach AI coding agents to work with the Elastic stack
+        link: /ai/agent-skills
+        meta: Mar 2026
+```
+
+## Inline override
+
+If `:product:` is omitted, the directive expects the same schema as a YAML body. Useful when the page needs a one-off feed that doesn't belong in the central file:
+
+```markdown
+:::{whats-new}
+title: What's new in this release
+items:
+  - title: Custom feature A
+    description: Details
+    link: /feature-a
+    meta: 9.4
+:::
+```
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Notes |
+|---|---|
+| `:product:` | Product key from `config/whats-new.yml`. When set, the body is ignored. |
+
+## Anchor
+
+`{whats-new}` registers its `id` as a section anchor — `{on-this-page}` automatically picks it up alongside `{card-group}` sections.

+# nav-v2 prototype — status & plan
+
+Branch: `nav-v2`
+PR: https://github.com/elastic/docs-builder/pull/2927 (draft)
+Last updated: 2026-03-24
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Prototype a new information architecture sidebar without touching production nav.
+Gated behind the `nav-v2` feature flag (auto-enabled in `dev` and `preview` environments).
+
+The V2 nav:
+- Shows label sections (non-clickable headings) instead of bare TOC roots
+- Renders the **full tree on every page** (not per-section like V1)
+- Has accordion collapse (open one top-level section → others collapse)
+- Auto-expands to the current page on direct URL load
+- Disabled placeholder links styled with `cursor-not-allowed`
+- Content built at **the same URL paths as V1** — only sidebar layout changes
+
+---
+
+## Current state ✓
+
+Build passes. Preview at https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2927/
+
+### New nav item types
+
+| Type | YAML key | C# type | Renders as |
+|------|----------|---------|------------|
+| Section heading | `label:` | `LabelNavigationNode` | Non-clickable uppercase header |
+| Placeholder leaf | `title:` only | `PlaceholderNavigationLeaf` | Greyed link → generated stub page |
+| Placeholder folder | `group:` (no `page:`) | `PlaceholderNavigationNode` | Greyed folder header → generated stub page |
+| Page-folder | `group:` + `page:` | `PageFolderNavigationNode` | Clickable folder header with chevron |
+| Cross-link leaf | `page:` | `PageCrossLinkLeaf` | Normal clickable link |
+| TOC section | `toc:` | existing `IRootNavigationItem` | Full TOC tree (as V1) |
+
+### URL scheme
+
+V2 cannot control output file paths — `GlobalNavigationPathProvider` reads `NavigationTocMappings` from `navigation.yml` before `SiteNavigationV2` is constructed. So V2 reuses V1 URLs. Documented in PR description.
+
+Production migration path: wire `NavigationTocMappings` from the V2 file, with optional `path:` overrides on `toc:` entries to pin stable V1 URLs and avoid redirects.
+
+---
+
+## Files changed
+
+### New files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `config/navigation-v2.yml` | Full IA structure — 6 top-level labels, nested labels, real `toc:`/`page:` wiring |
+| `src/.../Toc/NavigationV2File.cs` | YAML model + `NavV2FileYamlConverter` |
+| `src/.../V2/LabelNavigationNode.cs` | Non-clickable section heading |
+| `src/.../V2/PlaceholderNavigationLeaf.cs` | Disabled placeholder link |
+| `src/.../V2/PlaceholderNavigationNode.cs` | Disabled placeholder folder |
+| `src/.../V2/PageCrossLinkLeaf.cs` | Real cross-link leaf (from `page:`) |
+| `src/.../V2/PageFolderNavigationNode.cs` | Clickable folder with real URL (from `group:` + `page:`) |
+| `src/.../V2/SiteNavigationV2.cs` | Extends `SiteNavigation`; builds V2 label tree |
+| `src/.../Navigation/_TocTreeNavV2.cshtml` | V2 Razor partial |
+| `src/.../Assets/pages-nav-v2.ts` | Accordion + current-page marking + auto-expand on load |
+
+### Modified files
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `config/assembler.yml` | `NAV_V2: true` under `dev:` and `preview:` |
+| `src/.../FeatureFlags.cs` | `NavV2Enabled` property |
+| `src/.../ConfigurationFileProvider.cs` | `NavV2Deserializer`; `NavigationV2File` property |
+| `src/.../NavigationViewModel.cs` | `IsNavV2` bool |
+| `src/.../Navigation/_TocTree.cshtml` | Branches on `IsNavV2` |
+| `src/.../AssemblerBuildService.cs` | Loads nav-v2 file; instantiates `SiteNavigationV2` |
+| `src/.../GlobalNavigationHtmlWriter.cs` | Full V2 nav HTML cached once as `"nav-v2"` |
+| `src/.../main.ts` | `initNavV2(nav)` when `[data-nav-v2]` present |
+
+---
+
+## navigation-v2.yml wiring status
+
+| Section | Status |
+|---------|--------|
+| Elasticsearch fundamentals | Placeholders |
+| Install, deploy, and administer | Placeholders |
+| The Elasticsearch Platform → Ingest and manage data | Partially wired — "Ingest or migrate" group real pages + tocs; rest placeholders |
+| The Elasticsearch Platform → Search, visualize and analyze | Placeholders |
+| The Elasticsearch Platform → AI and machine learning | Placeholders |
+| Solutions and project types | Placeholders |
+| Reference | Commented out (18 real `toc:` entries ready, hidden while team reviews IA) |
+| Troubleshooting | Commented out (real `page:` entries ready, hidden while team reviews IA) |
+
+### "Ingest or migrate" detail
+
+- Explicit `page:` entries for all current pages in `manage-data/ingest` and `manage-data/migrate`
+- "Migrating your Elasticsearch data" uses `group:` + `page:` (page-folder): parent links to `manage-data/migrate`, four child pages beneath
+- "Ingest tools (from Reference)" group: wired with 7 `toc:` entries (fleet, EDOT, integration-docs, search-connectors, logstash, apm, beats) + "Other ingest tools" sub-group (elasticsearch-hadoop, elastic-serverless-forwarder)
+- `integration-docs` is `private: true` — absent in PR preview, present in production and localhost
+
+---
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- **Private repos in PR preview**: `integration-docs` (Elastic integrations) is absent from preview builds; appears correctly in production and localhost. Same limitation affects V1.
+- **URL paths**: V2 cannot assign new URL prefixes without wiring `NavigationTocMappings` from the V2 file (architectural blocker, documented in PR).
+
+---
+
+## Open items
+
+1. **Remaining placeholders** — most sections still use `title:` placeholders pending IA decisions. Each now generates a greyed-but-clickable stub page at `/_placeholder/{hash}/`.
+2. **Production migration** — wire `NavigationTocMappings` from V2 file; optional `path:` key on `toc:` entries for zero-redirect URL pinning.
+3. **Re-enable Reference / Troubleshooting** — currently commented out; uncomment once team approves structure.
+
