#Next documentation workflow

next is a development channel, not another product branch. It reuses the same Rspress localization, search, and version-routing mechanism.

#Change requirements

1. A code change that affects user behavior must update both Chinese and English next pages.
2. Both languages must use matching page paths, and their titles and bodies must express the same product contract.
3. The version registry is the only source for version order and the default version; do not maintain a handwritten selector or a second status model.
4. The build produces separate search indexes for each language and version and verifies every public route.

At release time, maintainers freeze next, create a new version snapshot, and switch the default version to that snapshot. Older version routes remain available.
