# Changelog Configuration
# This file configures the valid values for changelog fields using the pivot structure.
# Place this file as `changelog.yml` in the `docs/` directory
#
# NOTE: All list-like fields accept BOTH forms:
# - Comma-separated string: "value1, value2, value3"
# - YAML list:
# - value1
# - value2
# - value3
# Both forms produce the same result. Choose whichever is more readable for your use case.
# Changelog configuration
# Place this file at docs/changelog.yml.

# Filename strategy for generated changelog files.
# Controls how files created by 'changelog add' are named.
# pr — use the PR number (e.g., 12345.yaml).
# issue — use the issue number (e.g., 67890.yaml).
# timestamp — use a Unix timestamp with a title slug (e.g., 1735689600-fix-search.yaml). Default.
# Can be overridden per invocation with --use-pr-number or --use-issue-number CLI flags.
filename: timestamp

# Products configuration (optional)
# If not specified, all products from products.yml are allowed (including those
# that have 'public-reference' disabled).
products:
# List of available product IDs (empty = all from products.yml)
# Accepts string or list: "elasticsearch, kibana" or [elasticsearch, kibana]
available: []
# Default products when --products not specified and no label maps to a product
# default:
# - product: elasticsearch
# lifecycle: ga
# Products that a label-derived product implies, keyed by product ID.
# An entry that gets 'observability' from a label also gets 'kibana' and 'cloud-serverless'.
# implies:
# observability: [kibana, cloud-serverless]

# Extraction configuration
# Controls automatic extraction of information from PR descriptions
extract:
# Auto-extract release notes from PR descriptions (default: true)
# Can be overridden by CLI --no-extract-release-notes
release_notes: true
# Auto-extract linked references (default: true)
# When using --prs: looks for patterns like "Fixes #123", "Closes #456" in PR body to derive issues.
# When using --issues: looks for patterns like "Fixed by #123" in issue body to derive PRs.
# Can be overridden by CLI --no-extract-issues
issues: true
# Remove square-bracket prefixes from PR titles (default: false)
# When enabled (true or via --strip-title-prefix), titles like "[ES|QL] Fix bug" become "Fix bug".
# Can be overridden by CLI --strip-title-prefix
strip_title_prefix: false

# Available lifecycle values (strongly typed: preview, beta, ga)
# Accepts string or list: "preview, beta, ga" or a YAML list
lifecycles:
- preview
- beta
- ga
- experimental

# Pivot configuration for types, subtypes, and areas with label mappings.
# By default we render changelogs grouped by type > subtype > area.
# NOTE: subtype and area are optional and either may be omitted.
# Labels are specified in a "label -> value" format
pivot:
# Pivots that every PR must set a label for, beyond the type (which is always required):
# "areas" and/or "products". The PR check fails and the PR comment asks for the missing labels.
# A listed pivot needs labels in pivot.areas or pivot.products. For "products", a label is required
# even when products.default is set or pivot.products maps a single product.
# Without "products" here, a product label is only required when pivot.products maps two or more
# distinct products and products.default is not set.
# required: [areas, products]

# Type definitions with optional labels
# At a minimum, feature, bug-fix, and breaking-change must be configured.
# Keys are type names, values can be:
# - simple string: comma-separated label list (e.g., ">bug, >fix")
# - YAML list: [">bug", ">fix"]
# - empty/null: no labels for this type
# - object: { labels: "...", subtypes: {...} } for breaking-change type only
# (labels and subtype values also accept string or list)
types:
# Complex object form with subtypes (ONLY allowed for breaking-change)
# Subtypes help categorize breaking changes by their nature
# Both labels and subtype values accept string or list form
breaking-change:
labels: ">breaking, >bc"
# Equivalent list form:
# labels:
# - ">breaking"
# - ">bc"
subtypes:
api: ">api-breaking"
behavioral: ">behavioral-breaking"
configuration: ">config-breaking"
dependency: ">dependency-breaking"
subscription: ">subscription-breaking"
plugin: ">plugin-breaking"
security: ">security-breaking"
other:
# Simple string form: labels as comma-separated string
bug-fix: ">bug"
deprecation: ">deprecation"
# Empty block: no labels (YAML null)
feature:
enhancement:

security:

# Labels that trigger the highlight flag (accepts string or list)
# String form: highlight: ">highlight, >release-highlight"
# List form:
# highlight:
# - ">highlight"
# - ">release-highlight"

# Area definitions with labels
# Keys are area display names (can contain commas), values are label strings or lists
# Each label maps to exactly one area.
# String form: "label1, label2" | List form: [label1, label2]
# To map one label to multiple areas, repeat the label under each area name.
areas:
# Example mappings - customize based on your label naming conventions
# Autoscaling: ":Distributed Coordination/Autoscaling"
# Search: ":Search/Search"
# Security: ":Security/Security"
# Watcher: ":Data Management/Watcher"
# To map a label to multiple areas (e.g., "Team:Search" to both "Search" and "Observability"):
# Search:
# - ":Search/Search"
# - "Team:Search"
# Observability:
# - "Team:Search"
# List form example:
# Search:
# - ":Search/Search"
# - ":Search/Ranking"

# Product definitions with labels (optional).
# Keys are product spec strings; values are label strings or lists that trigger that product.
# A product spec string is: "<product-id> [<target-version>] [<lifecycle>]"
# - Product ID only: "elasticsearch"
# - Product + target: "kibana 9.2.0"
# - Full spec: "cloud-serverless 2025-06 ga"
# When a PR has labels matching any product entry, all matching products are added.
# Precedence: --products CLI option > pivot.products label mapping (plus products.implies) > products.default > repo inference.
#
# products:
# 'elasticsearch':
# - ":stack/elasticsearch"
# 'kibana':
# - ":stack/kibana"
# 'cloud-serverless':
# - ":cloud/serverless"
# # Specify a target version if known:
# # 'elasticsearch 9.2.0':
# # - ":feature/new-in-9.2"

# Feature ID definitions with labels (optional).
# Keys are feature-id values written to the changelog; values are label strings or lists.
# When a PR has a matching label and --feature-id is not set, that feature-id is applied.
# If multiple labels map to distinct feature-ids, a warning is emitted and the first match is used.
# Precedence: --feature-id CLI option > pivot.features label mapping.
# Unreleased feature IDs should also be listed under bundle.profiles.<name>.hide_features.

# features:
# 'feature:new-search-api':
# - "feature-flag:new-search-api"
# - ":Feature/NewSearchApi"

# Rules configuration — controls which PRs create changelogs and which changelogs are published.
# All list-like fields (exclude, include, exclude_types) accept BOTH forms:
# - Comma-separated string: "value1, value2, value3"
# - YAML list: [value1, value2, value3]
#
# For details and examples, refer to the [rules documentation](https://github.com/elastic/docs-builder/blob/main/docs/contribute/configure-changelogs-ref.md#rules).
rules:
# match: any

# Create — controls which PRs generate changelogs.
# create:
# exclude: ">non-issue, >test"
# # Or equivalently:
# # exclude:
# # - ">non-issue"
# # - ">test"
# # match: any
# products:
# 'elasticsearch, kibana':
# exclude: ">test"
# 'cloud-serverless':
# exclude: "ILM"

# Bundle — filtering applied during 'changelog bundle' and 'changelog gh-release'.
# See https://github.com/elastic/docs-builder/blob/main/docs/contribute/configure-changelogs-ref.md#rules-bundle for Mode 1 / 2 / 3 behavior.
#
# Mode 2 (global content): use global lists only — no `products` key, or `products: {}`.
# Example — include changelogs that list elasticsearch OR kibana (evaluated per changelog):
# bundle:
# match_products: any
# include_products:
# - elasticsearch
# - kibana
# exclude_types: "deprecation, known-issue"
#
# Example — exclude only when the changelog lists BOTH products (conjunction); extras allowed:
# bundle:
# match_products: conjunction
# exclude_products:
# - kibana
# - observability
#
# Mode 3 (per-product context): non-empty `rules.bundle.products` — global include/exclude/type/area
# under `bundle:` are NOT applied for filtering; configure filters under each product key.
# Example:
# bundle:
# exclude_types: [docs] # ignored for filtering in Mode 3 — duplicate under each product if needed
# products:
# observability:
# exclude_products: ["cloud-enterprise"]
# exclude_types: ["docs"]
# include_areas:
# - "APM"
# - "Infrastructure monitoring"
# kibana:
# match_products: all
# include_products: ["kibana", "security"]
# exclude_types: ["docs"]

# Bundle configuration (profiles and defaults)
bundle:
# Input directory containing changelog YAML files
directory: docs/changelog
# Output directory for bundled changelog files
output_directory: docs/releases
# Optional: default description text for bundles. Supports {version}, {lifecycle}, {owner}, and {repo} placeholders.
# Use YAML literal block scalar (|) for multiline descriptions.
# description: |

# changelog-init-bundle-seed
# PR/issue link allowlist: when set (including []), only links to these owner/repo pairs are kept
# in bundle output; others are rewritten to '# PRIVATE:' sentinels.
# There is no implicit allow: you must list every repo whose links should appear, including your
# own (bundle.repo as owner/repo). When omitted entirely, no link filtering is applied.
# Run `changelog init` in a GitHub clone to pre-fill owner, repo, and link_allow_repos, or set
# bundle.owner, bundle.repo, and link_allow_repos manually. Example — allow only this repo:
# link_allow_repos:
# - elastic/kibana
# To allow cross-repo links, add more owner/repo entries (for example elastic/elasticsearch).
# Optional: default GitHub repo name applied to all profiles that do not specify their own.
# Used by the {changelog} directive to generate correct PR/issue links when the product ID
# differs from the GitHub repository name. Can be overridden per profile.
# repo: elasticsearch
# Optional: default GitHub owner applied to all profiles that do not specify their own.
# owner: elastic
# Optional: branch whose CDN changelog pool (changelog/{org}/{repo}/{branch}/...) is sourced from when
# bundling entries from the CDN. Defaults to "main" when unset. Can be overridden per profile.
# branch: main
# Optional: control auto-population of release-date for all profiles by default.
# When true (default), auto-populate release dates. Profiles can override this setting.
# release_dates: true

# Named bundle profiles for different release scenarios.
# Profiles can be used with both 'changelog bundle' and 'changelog remove':
# docs-builder changelog bundle elasticsearch-release 9.2.0
# docs-builder changelog remove elasticsearch-release 9.2.0
# When used with 'changelog remove', only the 'products' field is applied.
# The 'output_products', 'repo', 'owner', and 'hide_features' fields are
# bundle-specific and are ignored for removal.
# Bundle file names are derived by convention as '{repo}-{product}-{version}.yaml' from the
# authoring repo and the profile's primary output product; setting an explicit 'output'
# pattern is an error. If no repo can be resolved, the name falls back to '{product}-{version}.yaml'.
profiles:
# Example: Elasticsearch release profile (filter by changelog fields)
# elasticsearch-release:
# # Filter: which input changelogs to include ({version} and {lifecycle} are substituted at runtime)
# products: "elasticsearch {version} {lifecycle}"
# # The bundle's products metadata; also determines the conventional output
# # file name ({repo}-{product}-{version}.yaml from the authoring repo and the first product).
# output_products: "elasticsearch {version}"
# # Optional: profile-specific description (overrides bundle.description)
# # description: |
# # Elasticsearch {version} includes:
# # - Performance improvements
# # - Bug fixes and stability enhancements
# #
# # Download the release binaries: https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/releases/tag/v{version}
# # Optional: control auto-population of release-date for this profile.
# # When true (default), auto-populate release dates. When false, equivalent to --no-release-date.
# # release_dates: true
# Example: GitHub release profile (fetches PR list directly from a GitHub release)
# Use when you want to bundle or remove changelogs based on a published GitHub release.
# elasticsearch-gh-release:
# source: github_release # Fetch PR list from GitHub release instead of filtering input changelogs
# repo: elasticsearch # GitHub repository (required if bundle.repo is not set)
# owner: elastic # GitHub owner (optional; defaults to bundle.owner or "elastic")
# output_products: "elasticsearch {version} {lifecycle}"

# Example: Serverless release profile (filter by promotion report, PR, or issue list)
# serverless-release:
# output_products: "cloud-serverless {version}" # omit lifecycle
# # output_products: "cloud-serverless {version} {lifecycle}" # derive (ga for ISO dates)
# # output_products: "cloud-serverless {version} preview" # hardcode for exceptional releases
# # Optional: replace bundle.output_directory for this profile (same as --output as a directory).
# # The conventional {repo}-{product}-{version}.yaml name is written in this folder.
# # output_directory: docs/releases/cloud-serverless
# # Optional: GitHub repository for link and file name generation (overrides bundle.repo if set)
# repo: elasticsearch
# owner: elastic
# # Feature IDs to hide when bundling with this profile (accepts string or list)
# hide_features:
# - feature-flag-1
# - feature-flag-2
pivot:
# Map pull request labels to standard changelog types.
# At a minimum, feature, bug-fix, and breaking-change must be configured.
types:
feature: "feature"
bug-fix: "bug, fix"

Severity: P3 (Low)

Add regression coverage that loads the actual init template through ChangelogConfigurationLoader and checks the generated type mappings and skip-label behavior. This PR changes the default configuration contract but adds no replacement coverage; the deleted tests only exercised the retired seeding helper. Without a template-level test, invalid defaults or changes that disable the advertised skip rule can pass the existing suite unnoticed.

# For security-only rules, add a separate profile with output_products listing only security.
# Bundle names are derived as {repo}-{product}-{version}.yaml from the first output product.

The command creates a `changelog.yml` configuration file and `changelog` and `releases` subdirectories in the docs folder.
The command creates a `changelog.yml` configuration file and `changelog` and `releases` subdirectories in the docs folder. The generated `changelog.yml` contains the minimal configuration for the automated release notes path: type mappings for `feature`, `bug-fix`, and `breaking-change`, and a skip-label rule.

When the template is written for the first time, the command seeds `bundle.owner`, `bundle.repo`, and `bundle.link_allow_repos` from your `git` remote `origin` (when it points at `github.com`) and/or from `--owner` and `--repo`. CLI values override values inferred from `git`. If neither source provides enough information, the placeholder lines are removed from the template for manual editing.
When `changelog.yml` already exists, the command updates only the directory paths if `--changelog-dir` or `--bundles-dir` are specified, and leaves all other content unchanged.
