* feat(askai): add Kapa.ai source group filtering for InfluxDB v3
- Add ai_source_group_ids field to all InfluxDB v3 products in data/products.yml
- Add getProductSourceGroupIds() function to retrieve source group IDs from product data
- Enables filtered AI responses using Kapa source groups for documentation pages
- Follows existing pattern for dynamic product configuration
- Implement version-specific config support (__v1, __v2 suffixes)
- Append version hints to example questions for InfluxDB database products only
- Make example questions generic (remove product-specific names)
- Tools (Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor, Flux, Explorer) display questions without version hints
- Pre-fills chat input with [version: /path/] for InfluxDB database products
- Users can easily edit or remove the pre-filled text
- Works for manual opens (Cmd+K) and programmatic opens
- Converts module to TypeScript
* refactor(ask-ai): change version format to 'My version: <product name>'
Use human-readable product names instead of URL paths for better UX.
Example: 'My version: InfluxDB 3 Core' instead of '[version: /influxdb3/core/]'
* fix(ask-ai): restore working Kapa.open() pre-fill implementation
- Replace textarea detection with direct Kapa.open() call
- Add Kapa preinitialization code
- Use click handler on .ask-ai-open button with capture phase
- Handle conversation reset event to re-fill version context
- Remove console logging for cleaner production code
* fix(ask-ai): remove parentheses from example questions for consistency
Make example question format match the pre-fill format:
- Before: 'question (My version: product)'
- After: 'question My version: product'
This ensures users don't think there's a difference between the two formats.
* fix(askai): add Explorer product mapping for Ask AI widget
- Add influxdb3_explorer mapping to getCurrentProductData()
- Add explorer context to getContext() function
- Ensures Explorer pages use correct ai_sample_questions from products.yml
- Reorder Explorer questions with 'install and run' first
This fixes the issue where Explorer Ask AI widget was showing wrong
example questions by properly loading the influxdb3_explorer config.
* test(page-context): add comprehensive e2e tests for product mappings
Add Cypress tests to validate page-context.js correctly identifies:
- Product context values for all InfluxDB products
- Product data from products.yml configuration
- Version information
- AI sample questions and source group IDs
- Placeholder host values
Tests cover:
- InfluxDB 3 (Core, Enterprise, Explorer, Cloud variants, Clustered)
- InfluxDB v2 and v1
- InfluxDB Cloud (TSM)
- Tools (Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor, Flux)
Validates the fix for Explorer Ask AI showing correct example questions.
Related to #jts-askai-group-filters branch work.
* feat(test): add --no-mapping flag to e2e test runner
Allow running functionality tests without requiring content file paths.
The --no-mapping flag skips content-to-URL mapping, making it easier
to run tests that don't depend on specific content files.
Usage:
# With content mapping (for content-specific tests)
node run-e2e-specs.js content/influxdb3/core/_index.md
# Without content mapping (for functionality tests)
node run-e2e-specs.js --spec cypress/e2e/page-context.cy.js --no-mapping
Benefits:
- Simplifies running functionality tests like page-context.cy.js
- Reduces test startup time by skipping unnecessary file mapping
- Makes test commands clearer about their purpose
The page-context test was updated to work correctly with this flag.
* deps: update caniuse and related hook files
* test: Add a `--no-mapping` flag to run tests without specific content files (i.e., test contains all the URLs it needs)
* chore(ask-ai): Format example questions
* test(page-context): add comprehensive e2e tests for all products in products.yml
- Expanded test suite from 6 to 27 tests covering all products
- Added tests for InfluxDB 3 products (Explorer, Core, Enterprise, Cloud Serverless, Cloud Dedicated, Clustered)
- Added tests for InfluxDB v2 and Cloud (TSM)
- Added tests for InfluxDB v1 and Enterprise v1
- Added tests for other products (Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor, Flux)
- Validates page mappings in page-context.js
- Validates AI sample questions configuration in products.yml
- All 27 tests passing
* fix(page-context): correct enterprise_influxdb URL pattern matching
- Changed pattern from /enterprise_v1/ to /enterprise_influxdb/
- Fixes Ask AI example questions not showing correctly for Enterprise v1
- Pattern now matches actual URL structure /enterprise_influxdb/v1/
- All 27 e2e tests passing
* test(page-context): add UI validation for Ask AI widget configuration
- Added 4 tests checking Kapa widget script data attributes
- Tests verify data-modal-example-questions contains correct product-specific questions
- Validates Explorer, Core, Enterprise, and Enterprise v1 configurations
- All 31 tests passing (27 existing + 4 new UI tests)
* feat(ask-ai): add help in Ask AI widget placeholder
- InfluxDB placeholder recommends specifying product and version
- Fix page-context.js to use products.influxdb_cloud instead of products.cloud
- Add UI tests verifying version-specific naming in Kapa widget script tags
* feat(ask-ai): Tailors placeholder for each version/product. Disables "Viewing <product>" in disclaimer note.

* fix(enterprise): comment out unsupported TOML configuration documentation
Users were getting errors when trying to use 'influxdb3 serve --config
ingester.toml' because TOML configuration file support was recently
removed from InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise.
This change comments out the "Use configuration files" subsection that
documented the --config flag and TOML file syntax. The "Configure using
environment variables" section remains as the supported method for
configuration.
Closes issue reported by user receiving "unexpected argument '--config'" error.
* Apply suggestions from code review

* fix(influxdb3): document exec-mem-pool-bytes usage for data persistence
Updates documentation to reflect that exec-mem-pool-bytes is used for both
query processing and parquet persistence operations, not just queries.
Based on source code analysis showing the memory pool is used by:
- Query executor for processing queries
- Persister for converting WAL data to Parquet format
Changes:
- Updated config description to include "data operations"
- Added memory usage info to durability docs for Parquet storage
- Added troubleshooting section for memory-related write performance
- Fixed capitalization of "object store" throughout
Addresses DAR #499
Source analysis: influxdb3/src/commands/serve.rs:772-798
Shows separate executors for queries and write path operations,
both using memory pools for data processing.
* fix(influxdb3): broken links to no-sync
* Closes#6509

* chore(docs): Add content/create.md tutorial page for the How to create your own documentation tutorial
chore(scripts): docs:create and docs:edit scripts for content creation and editing
Major improvements to docs:create UX for both Claude Code and external tool integration:
**New `docs` CLI command:**
- Add scripts/docs-cli.js - main CLI with subcommand routing
- Add bin field to package.json for `docs` command
- Usage: `docs create` and `docs edit` (cleaner than yarn commands)
**Smart piping detection:**
- Auto-detect when stdout is piped (\!process.stdout.isTTY)
- When piping: automatically output prompt text (no flag needed)
- When interactive: output prompt file path
- --print-prompt flag now optional (auto-enabled when piping)
**Specify products:**
- simplify link following behavior - treat relative paths as local files, all HTTP/HTTPS as external
- stdin now requires --products flag with product keys
- --products now accepts keys from products.yml (influxdb3_core, telegraf, etc.)
Examples:
--products influxdb3_core
--products influxdb3_core,influxdb3_enterprise
--products telegraf
**Usage examples:**
# Inside Claude Code - automatic execution
docs create drafts/new-feature.md
# Pipe to external AI - prompt auto-detected
docs create FILE --products X | claude -p
docs create FILE --products X | copilot -p
# Pipe from stdin
echo 'content' | docs create --products X | claude -p
Benefits:
- Cleaner syntax (no yarn --silent needed)
- No manual --print-prompt flag when piping
- Consistent with industry tools (git, npm, etc.)
- Backward compatible with yarn commands
WIP: docs:create usage examples
- Redesign of the docs CLI tools for creating and editing content
- Cleaner interface works better for piping output to agents and downstream utilities
- Updates README.md and other authoring docs
This repository includes a `docs` CLI tool for common documentation workflows:
```sh
npx docs create drafts/new-feature.md --products influxdb3_core
npx docs edit https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/core/admin/
npx docs placeholders content/influxdb3/core/admin/upgrade.md
npx docs --help
```
**Run test cases:**
```sh
npx docs test
```

- Coverage for .github/, .claude/, api-docs/ directories
- GFM features: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, footnotes
- Separate linting rules for instruction files vs product documentation
feat(lint): separate remark-lint auto-fix for instructions vs report-only for content
- Split lint-markdown into two hooks:
- lint-markdown-instructions: Auto-fixes README, DOCS-*.md, .github/**, .claude/**
- lint-markdown-content: Reports issues in content/**, api-docs/** without modifying
- Changed remark-lint volume mount from read_only: true to read_only: false
- Instruction files now behave like Prettier (auto-fix + stage)
- Content files report errors and block commits until manually fixed
* chore(instructions): Add content/shared details, husky/lefthook updates
