* docs(telegraf): add missing serializer documentation
Add documentation for missing output data formats (serializers):
- binary: Binary protocol serialization with configurable entries
- cloudevents: CloudEvents JSON format (v0.3 and v1.0)
- csv: Comma-separated values with configurable columns
- prometheus: Prometheus text exposition format
- prometheusremotewrite: Prometheus protobuf for remote write
- wavefront: Wavefront data format
Also fixes:
- Rename messagepack.md to msgpack.md to match Telegraf source
This completes the serializer documentation coverage.

* docs(telegraf): add design plan for batch format documentation
Defines documentation changes to clarify:
- Output plugin vs serializer relationship
- use_batch_format option location and purpose
- Histogram/summary handling with prometheus_client
- Choosing the right output approach
* docs(telegraf): clarify output plugins, serializers, and batch format
- Add "How output plugins use serializers" section explaining the
relationship between output plugins and data formats
- Add "Choosing an output approach" guidance by destination and metric type
- Create prometheus serializer doc with histogram/summary guidance
- Add "Use this plugin for..." sections to prometheus_client
- Add Data formats subsection to configuration.md
- Expand output plugins index with serializer relationship
Addresses confusion about use_batch_format being an output plugin option
rather than a serializer option, and provides clear guidance on when to
use prometheus_client vs the prometheus serializer.

* fix(ci): add path offset for PR preview subdirectory baseURL
When PR preview builds use a subdirectory baseURL like
/docs-v2/pr-preview/pr-XXXX/, shortcodes that parse .RelPermalink
to detect product context fail because the path has extra segments.
This fix:
- Adds config/pr-preview/params.yml with prPreviewPathOffset: 3
- Updates workflow to use -e pr-preview environment
- Updates api-endpoint, influxdb/host, and children shortcodes to
use the offset when indexing path segments
- Adds nil-safety with default fallback for placeholder_host
Normal builds are unaffected (offset defaults to 0).
* fix(ci): add path offset to product-name and sidebar for PR previews
Apply the same prPreviewPathOffset fix to product-name.html and
sidebar.html that was applied in the initial PR #6665.
These templates parse RelPermalink to detect product context, but when
baseURL includes a subdirectory path (e.g., /docs-v2/pr-preview/pr-XXXX/),
the path indices shift. This fix uses the configurable offset to skip
extra path segments in PR preview builds.
* fix(ci): skip PR preview for fork PRs and add notice comment
Fork PRs cannot deploy to gh-pages because GITHUB_TOKEN has read-only
access to the base repository. This is a GitHub security feature.
Changes:
- Add condition to skip preview job for fork PRs
- Add fork-notice job to post helpful comment explaining limitation
- Include local preview instructions for contributors

* refactor(ci): improve PR preview with products.yml and index page
- Load product prefixes from data/products.yml (single source of truth)
- Build regex pattern dynamically from loaded namespaces
- Fix CSS copying: Hugo outputs fingerprinted CSS at root level
- Generate index.html with clickable links to preview pages
- Add test for influxdb3_explorer namespace
This keeps the URL parser in sync as new products are added and
provides a better preview experience with navigable links.
* fix(ci): set baseURL for preview subdirectory deployment
Hugo generates absolute paths for fingerprinted assets based on baseURL.
When deploying to GitHub Pages subdirectory (pr-preview/pr-XXXX/), assets
were incorrectly resolving to the root instead of the preview path.
This sets --baseURL to the correct preview URL so all asset paths work.

This fixes CI failures caused by lychee v0.22.0 (released Dec 5, 2025)
requiring --root-dir to resolve root-relative links in local files.
The link-checker now automatically sets --root-dir to the Hugo public/
directory when checking local HTML files.
Fixes failures for PRs touching /telegraf/v1 and /influxdb3/explorer paths.

* docs(influxdb3): Use the CLI (influxdb3 --version), /ping endpoint, or /health endpoint to get the actual InfluxDB product version—not the SQL version() function.
Summary of Changes
1. content/shared/sql-reference/functions/misc.md (SQL version() function)
- Enhanced the description to clarify it returns the DataFusion query engine version
- Added a Note callout explicitly stating this is NOT the InfluxDB product version
- Added a link to the identify-version page for users who want to find their InfluxDB version
- Added an expandable example with the actual query and output:
SELECT version()
- Output: Apache DataFusion 49.0.2, aarch64 on linux
2. content/shared/identify-version.md (Identify version page)
Added a Note callout in three locations:
- Core-specific section (show-in "core")
- Enterprise-specific section (show-in "enterprise")
- General InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise section (in the tabs)
Replaced hardcoded patch version with latest-version shortcode
* fix(clustered): use "database" instead of "namespace" in release notes
Replace user-facing "namespace" terminology with "database" in the
Clustered release notes for clarity. Add a note explaining that
"namespace" in environment variable names refers to a database.
