Ask AI answers from all nine indexed docs versions at once, so a reader on the latest release gets 25.2 answers. Measured against the live retrieval API for the exact question in DOC-2450: 11 results across six versions, only one from current. Scoped to the current group, 14 of 14 came from current.

This is the UI half. Depends on docs-extensions-and-macros#305 for the mapping.

What's here

  • src/helpers/get-kapa-source-groups.js turns the page's URL into a Kapa source group id.
  • chat-panel.hbs emits it as window.KAPA_SOURCE_GROUP_IDS.
  • AskAI.jsx passes it to both providers.

Two things that fail silently, both pinned by tests

The segment comes from page.url, not page.version. With latest_version_segment: current, 26.2 publishes at /streaming/current/ while page.version reads 26.2, so keying on the version would look right and miss every latest-release reader, which is exactly the DOC-2450 population.

The two SDKs spell the option differently on purpose: sourceGroupIdsInclude on AgentProvider, sourceGroupIDsInclude on KapaProvider. An unknown React prop is ignored with no error, so a typo means no filter at all.

Notes

Scoping to a version group does not hide Cloud, Connect or Agentic Data Plane content. Only the versioned sources are assigned to groups; everything else is global and comes through alongside whichever group is selected. Verified live: scoped to the 25.2 group, an Agentic Data Plane question returned 10 of 10 results from /agentic-data-plane/.

Unversioned pages resolve to the default rather than to nothing. Sending no filter there is what caused DOC-2450, since the reporter was on a page with no version of its own.

The segment is looked up in the mapping's keys rather than matched against a hardcoded /streaming/ prefix. An all-components build caught why: 451 pages published under the pre-rename /24.3/... layout were not recognised as versioned and silently scoped to current.

16 tests. Verified with a real Antora build over all seven content sources: 3498 pages render the panel, all 3498 emit the right group.

Ask AI answered from any indexed docs version. Measured against Kapa's live
retrieval API for the exact question in the ticket, "hardware requirements for
enterprise redpanda self-hosted": 11 results spread across 24.2, 24.3, 25.1,
25.2, 25.3 and current, with only ONE from current. Scoped to the current group,
14 of 14 came from current.

Both provider tiers now pass the Kapa source group for the page's own version,
resolved per page by a new get-kapa-source-groups helper and emitted into
chat-panel.hbs as window.KAPA_SOURCE_GROUP_IDS. Also closes the retrieval half of
DOC-1807.

The segment comes from page.url, not page.version. Those disagree for the latest
release: latest_version_segment: 'current' publishes 26.2 at /streaming/current/
while page.version reads 26.2, and the Kapa mapping is keyed on the URL segment
because that is what Kapa's own source_url values use. Deriving from page.version
would look correct and silently miss every latest-version reader, which is
exactly the population that reported this.

Unversioned pages (Cloud, Connect, Agentic Data Plane, labs, home, search)
resolve to the mapping's default segment rather than to no filter. Sending no
filter there is what caused this ticket: the reporter confirmed he was on a page
with no version of its own.

Scoping to a version group does not hide Cloud, Connect or Agentic Data Plane
content. Those sources are deliberately unassigned in Kapa, so they are global
and come through alongside the selected group. Verified live: scoped to the 25.2
group, an Agentic Data Plane question returned 10 of 10 results from
/agentic-data-plane/.

The two SDKs spell the same option differently and Kapa documents the
inconsistency deliberately, so the name is derived in one place rather than
written at each call site. Verified against the shipped packages rather than the
docs: @kapaai/agent-react declares sourceGroupIdsInclude (lowercase d) and
@kapaai/react-sdk declares sourceGroupIDsInclude (capital ID). An unknown React
prop is ignored with no error, so a typo means no filter is sent and answers
quietly come from every version again.

Never sends source_ids_include. Proved live that Kapa's retrieval endpoint
ignores it: the real source id, a garbage uuid, and no parameter at all returned
byte-identical result sets. It is not a declared parameter of that endpoint even
though the hosted MCP _meta table advertises it, so passing it looks like
filtering and does nothing.

Every unresolvable case degrades to sending no filter, which is the pre-fix
behaviour, because a wrong group is worse than no group: scoping to a group that
does not hold the reader's version returns only Kapa's global sources, silently
and without error. That covers a missing mapping attribute, malformed JSON, no
page context, and a published version with no group yet (which falls back to the
default rather than searching everything).

/api/ pages are not scoped here. chat-panel-bump.hbs is compiled at build time
from context/chat-panel.json, which carries no Antora page or site data, so the
helper has nothing to resolve against. docs-site's proxy-api-docs edge function
already rewrites that widget's DOM and will inject the current group there, which
keeps the id out of a second template where it would go stale.

Tests: 12 new, run against the real helper and the real partial through real
Handlebars. They pin the page.url-not-page.version behaviour, the default-segment
fallback for unversioned pages, both SDK prop spellings, that the partial renders
valid JS in both the resolved and empty cases, and every degradation path. The
React bundle was rebuilt and both prop names confirmed present in the shipped
AskAI.bundle.js with source_ids_include absent; the bundle also shows the SDK's
own guard, `if (sourceGroupIdsInclude?.length) body.source_group_ids_include = ...`.
Existing suites unaffected: head-meta 3, property-tooltips 18,
markdown-dropdown 15.
Last in the candidate chain, so a component attribute still wins, but never
redundant: it is the only source that reaches a page with no component. Before
this, 404.html emitted window.KAPA_SOURCE_GROUP_IDS = [] and Ask AI fell back
to searching every docs version.

Verified in a real Antora build against the patched UI bundle: 404, a versioned
page, a latest page and an unversioned page all now emit the right group.
…refix

The helper matched a hardcoded /streaming/<version>/ prefix. An all-components
local build exposed what that costs: 451 pages published at /24.3/... were not
recognised as versioned at all and fell back to the default, so 24.3
documentation told Kapa to answer from the latest release. Nothing errored and
the pages looked correct.

Those URLs come from the ROOT -> streaming component rename, which moved every
versioned page from /<version>/ to /streaming/<version>/. Only stale local
clones still produce the old layout -- every origin branch reads
"name: streaming" -- so this was not live. It is fixed anyway, because the
layout has already changed once and this code fails silently when it changes.

Now the segment is looked up in the mapping's own keys, checking the first two
path positions, so both layouts resolve and a third would too. Driving it off
the mapping also makes false positives impossible: /cloud-data-platform/manage/
does not resolve because "manage" is not a segment, and a version-shaped word
deeper in a path cannot hijack the scope.

Verified by rebuilding all seven content sources and reading every generated
page: 3498 pages render the Ask AI panel, all 3498 emit the right group,
including the 451 that were previously wrong.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a Handlebars helper that resolves Kapa source groups from page URLs and site attributes. It applies the resolved IDs to the Agent and Chat SDK providers with their tier-specific prop names. The chat panel emits an empty array when resolution fails. The bump template documents its runtime injection path. New tests cover URL layouts, mapping precedence, fallbacks, graceful degradation, template output, provider props, and test-script integration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to acd05

Malformed or compromised source-group mappings can break Ask AI initialization, produce invalid retrieval filters, or inject script content. These input-boundary issues should be fixed before merge.

Reject non-string source group IDs.

group_id is checked only for truthiness. A mapping with group_id: {} returns an object. src/partials/chat-panel.hbs then renders it as "[object Object]", and sourceGroupProps sends an invalid filter instead of preserving the unfiltered fallback.

Require a non-empty string before returning the ID. Add this malformed-shape case to the helper tests.

🌐 Web query:

For Handlebars 4.7.0, confirm whether the triple-stash expression {{{value}}}emits a value without HTML escaping when it is used inside a<script> element.

💡 Result:

In Handlebars 4.7.0, the triple-stash expression {{{value}}} emits the raw value without HTML escaping, regardless of where it is placed in the template, including inside a <script> element [1][2][3]. Handlebars does not distinguish between different HTML contexts (such as scripts, attributes, or standard element content) when processing templates; it simply computes the output string based on the expression [4][5]. Because the triple-stash intentionally suppresses the library's default HTML-escaping mechanism, it will render the provided content exactly as it is without any modifications [1][2]. While the content will appear in the DOM, it is important to note that inserting <script> tags into the DOM via innerHTML (the method typically used to insert Handlebars output) does not inherently cause those scripts to execute [6][5]. Furthermore, placing raw, unescaped content into a <script> block is generally discouraged due to security risks, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and potential syntax errors if the injected content is not properly formatted for the JavaScript context [4][7].

Use script-safe JSON encoding for KAPA_SOURCE_GROUP_IDS. get-kapa-source-groups returns group_id from page or site attributes without validation, and {{{this}}} emits it raw inside an executable <script>. An untrusted quote or </script> value can break the JavaScript or terminate the script element. Use the existing json-safe helper or an equivalent script-safe encoder, and test both payloads.

Retrieval is now pinned to the reader's version, but the agent was never told
which one, and its instructions still said "assume the latest version unless it
differs by version, then ask which". Both halves of that are now wrong: asking
requests something the URL already answered, and assuming latest contradicts
the sections a 25.1 reader just received.

The page context now carries the version alongside the component, and the
instructions say to use it rather than ask. Unversioned pages say so explicitly,
so the agent knows searches cover the latest release instead of guessing.

The version is read from the URL, matching get-kapa-source-groups.js, because
page.version disagrees for the newest release: it publishes at
/streaming/current/ while page.version reads 26.2. Checked the two derivations
agree on every URL shape, including the pre-rename /24.2/ layout, since telling
the agent one version while scoping retrieval to another is worse than telling
it nothing.

Only affects the signed-in AgentProvider path, which is the one taking
customInstructions. The anonymous widget's instructions live in the Kapa
dashboard. Neither path's product disambiguation changes: source groups do not
filter by product, since Cloud, Connect and ADP sources are global.
Review caught that currentPageContext() re-derived the version with its own URL
regex, independent of the mapping that chose the source group, so the two could
disagree while the prompt asserted a restriction and forbade asking. For
/streaming/26.2/... the regex yields "26.2" but the group sent is `current`,
because the latest release publishes at /streaming/current/ and its own number
is never a segment. The agent would answer from current-version retrieval and
attribute it to 26.2, which is the version-confusion this work exists to remove.

Both values now come from one resolve() and the partial emits the effective
segment, after the fallback to default, so it always names the group in
KAPA_SOURCE_GROUP_IDS. When no group is sent the segment is empty and the prompt
says results may mix versions and to check each url, rather than claiming a
restriction that is not in force.

Implemented as a mode argument on the one helper, not a second helper file:
Antora compiles each UI helper in isolation and a sibling require fails FATAL at
page-composition time, taking the whole build down. A real all-components build
found that; unit tests could not. There is now a test asserting no helper
requires a sibling.

Verified by rebuilding all seven content sources: 3498 pages render the panel
and the emitted segment matches the emitted group on every one of them.

Automated code review (high effort). Two blocking correctness issues left as inline comments on their lines; the rest are below as non-blocking notes.

The two inline findings are the ones I'd treat as merge-blocking: the first reintroduces the exact "which version are you on?" friction this PR exists to remove (on any non-/streaming/ versioned component or path-prefixed deploy), and the second means CI would greenlight a silently-broken filter.

Additional findings (non-blocking)

3. src/helpers/get-kapa-source-groups.js:92 — fallback chain short-circuits on the first malformed candidate. readMapping does try { return JSON.parse(raw) } catch { return null } on the first candidate with a truthy raw. If page.componentVersion's kapa-source-groups attribute is present but corrupt while site.keys holds a valid mapping, the function returns null immediately and never consults site.keys — disabling version scoping even though a good copy exists downstream. Fails in the safe direction (no filter → broader answers), so non-blocking, but it defeats the point of having a candidate fallback array. Suggest continue-ing to the next candidate on a parse failure rather than returning null.

4. src/helpers/get-kapa-source-groups.js:50 — a segment present but missing group_id returns [] instead of the documented default fallback. The inline comment claims a versioned page whose segment has no group "falls back to the default rather than sending nothing." But versionSegmentFromUrl only returns a key that exists in segments, so (segment && mapping.segments[segment]) is truthy whenever the key is present and || mapping.segments[default_segment] never runs; if that entry lacks group_id the function returns [] and searches every version. The default fallback only fires when the segment key is entirely absent. Either the code or the comment should change — if the generator ever emits a segment entry before its group_id is populated, that page silently gets no scoping rather than the intended current-version fallback.

5. src/helpers/get-kapa-source-groups.js:84 — reimplements existing helpers (cleanup). Hand-rolls JSON.parse-with-catch and manual url.split('/') position logic when src/helpers/ already ships parse-json.js and split.js (plus URL helpers like strip-trailing-slash.js). Consolidating on the shared parse helper keeps one definition of "parse an attribute that may already be an object" and removes duplicated error-handling that can drift. No behavior change.

Critical — this hardcoded version regex reintroduces the friction DOC-2450 removes.

currentPageContext re-derives the docs version with a hardcoded /streaming/-prefixed regex over window.location.pathname, duplicating the mapping-driven, page.url-based get-kapa-source-groups helper — and the two can disagree:

  • On a second versioned component (/console/25.2/), a named/prerelease segment, or a future component rename, the helper still scopes retrieval but this regex matches nothing, so the agent is told "This page has no version" and asks the reader which version they're on — the precise behavior this PR sets out to remove.
  • It reads runtime window.location.pathname (which includes any deploy path prefix) rather than the helper's build-time page.url, so under a path-prefixed deployment the regex fails for every page while retrieval stays scoped.

Suggest deriving the version for the prompt from the same mapping/page.url source the helper already uses, instead of a second hardcoded prefix assumption — otherwise this is the exact 451-mis-scoped-pages pattern the helper's docstring says it was built to avoid.

Critical — the guarding test is self-referential, so a wrong prop name ships silently.

The whole feature hinges on these two hand-written SDK prop names (sourceGroupIdsInclude / sourceGroupIDsInclude). A wrong name is silently ignored by React as an unknown prop → no filter is sent → answers come from every docs version again, which is exactly the silent failure the comment above warns about.

The test AskAI.jsx uses the correct, different prop name for each SDK tier reads this file and regex-matches the same literal strings it's guarding, so it passes even if both names are wrong for the installed @kapaai SDKs — nothing exercises the real provider, so the casing is unverified by CI.

Recommend a check that asserts against the SDKs' actual prop types (or exercises the real provider), so a bad name fails CI instead of the test merely confirming the string is present.

…p test

CodeRabbit: the template interpolated each group id raw inside an executable
<script> via triple-stash, which Handlebars never escapes, so a quote or a
</script> in a mapping value would end the string or the script element. The
helper now has two JSON modes that emit one script-safe literal each
(JSON.stringify plus `<` as \u003c, the same treatment docs-site's edge
function gives the same value), and the template contains no raw id anywhere.

CodeRabbit: group_id was checked for truthiness only, so a malformed mapping
with group_id: {} was emitted as "[object Object]" and sent to Kapa as a
filter, which returns only global sources with no error. A non-empty string is
now required; anything else resolves to nothing, which is the safer failure.

Kat: the test guarding the two SDK prop names asserted the same literal strings
the source contains, so it would pass with both names wrong. The oracle is now
the installed packages' own .d.mts files: each name must be declared as an
optional string[] prop on its provider, must NOT be declared on the other SDK
(or the test proves nothing), and both built SDKs must translate it to
source_group_ids_include on the wire. agent-react forwards to agent-core, which
sets body.source_group_ids_include; react-sdk carries it directly.

Verified with a real Antora build over all seven content sources: 3498 pages
render the panel, every emitted literal parses as JSON, and the segment agrees
with the group on every page.
Measured live, a source group id Kapa no longer knows is not the silent
global-only fallback the design assumed: the Chat SDK's query endpoint
answers HTTP 400 (Invalid pk ... object does not exist) and the Agent SDK
throws with that body. Every question on the affected pages failed with the
captcha error text until the regenerated mapping shipped through three repos.

kapaScope.js holds the scope with a one-way drop: the Agent SDK's
response_error names the field, so the agent tier drops it exactly; the
Chat SDK hides the body, so its api-service wrapper drops it when a scoped
query dies before a byte streams. App keeps the ids in state and re-renders
both providers without the prop, currentPageContext stops claiming a
restriction, and ChatSdkInterface names the cause and re-asks once with a
fresh captcha token.
