Why

This PR implements the release-docs workflow so we can actively document changes in the main branch while stable docs stay on release-docs. It ensures that when hotfixes are made on release-docs, a PR is automtically opened to update docs in the main branch.

What this PR covers

  • Enables the existing lint and test workflows for release-docs
  • Automatically opens or updates a release-docs -> main sync PR
  • Adds contributor guidance and a PR template for branch targeting
  • Ignores local docs planning/artifact folders that should stay ephemeral

Behavior Impact

  • User-facing changes: no
  • Breaking changes: no
  • Operational impact: GitHub Actions will now run on release-docs, and pushes to release-docs can create sync PRs once repository workflow permissions are enabled

- Run the existing lint and test workflows for pushes and pull
  requests targeting release-docs
- Keep the public-docs branch under the same baseline validation
  as main before Mintlify publishes from it
- Add a dedicated workflow that runs whenever release-docs
  receives new commits
- Reuse one sync PR so released-doc fixes are surfaced in main
  without relying on manual follow-up
- Explain when docs changes belong on release-docs versus
  main in the contributing guide
- Add PR template checks so branch targeting is explicit during
  review
- Record the Mintlify branch switch, workflow permissions,
  and branch protection rules in one runbook
- Give the team a repeatable process for public-doc hotfixes
  and release promotions
- Stop tracking local runbooks and execution logs that should
  stay ephemeral during workflow setup
- Keep the branch focused on repo changes while leaving these
  files available locally
- Restore the existing tracked execution log so this workflow PR\n  does not remove it prematurely\n- Leave cleanup of legacy tracked logs to a separate follow-up\n  as planned

Warning

Review limit reached

@oshorefueled, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 37 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
