# NeMo Gym Docs Maintenance

Unified skill for adding, updating, moving, and removing pages on the NeMo Gym Fern documentation site.

## Scope Rule

**ALL docs edits happen under `fern/`.** All new pages — including release notes and migration guides — belong under `fern/`.

**Bleeding-edge tree + GA snapshots.** Gym keeps one bleeding-edge content tree at `fern/versions/latest/` (the folder name is historical — it's mounted under the `main` slug via `main.yml`) and one frozen GA snapshot per shipped release (currently `fern/versions/v0.2.1/`). All new edits land in `fern/versions/latest/`. The `latest.yml` file is a GA *alias* — a symlink to the current GA's yml — so `/latest/...` and `/<current-ga>/...` serve the same pages. Back-ports into a frozen GA snapshot are deliberate and rare; default to editing `fern/versions/latest/` only.

## Layout at a Glance

```

## Operations

### Add a Page

1. Gather: page title, target section, filename (kebab-case `.mdx`), subdirectory under `fern/versions/latest/pages/`.
2. Create `fern/versions/latest/pages/<subdirectory>/<filename>.mdx`:

   ```mdx
   ---
   title: "<Page Title>"
   description: "One-line SEO description (or empty string)"
   position: 3
   ---

   # <Page Title>

   <content>
   ```

3. If the parent folder is mounted in `main.yml` with `title-source: frontmatter`, the page is auto-discovered — no nav edit needed. Otherwise add a `- page:` entry under the right `section:` in `fern/versions/main.yml`.
4. Do **not** mirror into the current GA snapshot folder (e.g., `v0.2.1/`) — frozen GA snapshots only get back-ports on explicit request.

### Update a Page

1. Locate by path, title, or keyword (`grep -rn` in `fern/versions/latest/pages/`).
2. **Content only** — edit the MDX in `fern/versions/latest/pages/`. Don't touch `v0.2.1/` unless this is an explicit back-port.
3. **Title change** — update the frontmatter `title:` and (if the parent uses `title-source: frontmatter`) nothing else; otherwise update the nav `- page:` entry too.
4. **Section move** — `git mv` the file, update its `path:` in `main.yml`, fix all incoming links inside `fern/versions/latest/pages/`.
5. **Slug change** — folders use the page filename for the slug. Renaming the file changes the URL; add a redirect in `fern/docs.yml` so the old URL keeps working.

### Remove a Page

1. Find incoming links: `grep -rn "<filename>" fern/versions/latest/pages --include="*.mdx"`.
2. `git rm` the file from `fern/versions/latest/pages/`.
3. Remove the matching `- page:` block from `main.yml` if it was a manual entry.
4. Fix or remove all incoming links.
5. Add a redirect in `fern/docs.yml` if the URL was public.

### Back-port to a GA Snapshot

Only back-port when the user explicitly asks ("back-port to v0.2.1"). Apply the same change inside the GA snapshot's `pages/` folder (e.g., `fern/versions/v0.2.1/pages/`) and update its yml if needed. `latest.yml` is a symlink to the current GA's yml, so nav changes propagate automatically.

### Worked Example: Adding a Page

Request: *"Add a how-to for collecting rollouts under Get Started."*

1. Create `fern/versions/latest/pages/get-started/rollout-collection.mdx`:

   ```mdx
   ---
   title: "Collect Rollouts"
   description: "Run the agent against your dataset and write results to JSONL"
   position: 4
   ---

   # Collect Rollouts

   <content>
   ```

2. The `get-started` folder in `main.yml` uses `title-source: frontmatter`, so the page appears automatically. `position: 4` controls ordering — it's optional; without it, pages sort alphabetically by filename.
3. `cd fern && npm run check && npm run dev`, verify `/main/get-started/rollout-collection` renders.

### Worked Example: Renaming a Slug (with Redirect)

Request: *"Rename `/main/get-started/setup` to `/main/get-started/detailed-setup`."*

1. `git mv fern/versions/latest/pages/get-started/setup.mdx fern/versions/latest/pages/get-started/detailed-setup.mdx`.
2. Add a redirect in `fern/docs.yml`:

   ```yaml
   redirects:
     - source: "/main/get-started/setup"
       destination: "/main/get-started/detailed-setup"
   ```

3. `grep -rn "/get-started/setup" fern/versions/latest/` and update any incoming links.

## Content Guidelines

NeMo Gym uses **Fern-native MDX components directly**. Do not use GitHub `> [!NOTE]` syntax — it will not render.

| Purpose | Component |
|---|---|
| Neutral aside | `<Note>...</Note>` |
| Helpful tip | `<Tip>...</Tip>` |
| Informational callout | `<Info>...</Info>` |
| Warning | `<Warning>...</Warning>` |
| Error / danger | `<Error>...</Error>` |
| Card grid on index pages | `<Cards>` with `<Card title="..." href="...">` children |
| Status/scope tag inside a Card | `<Badge minimal outlined>tag</Badge>` (see below) |

Images live in `fern/assets/` (shared) or under a version's `pages/` (version-scoped). Reference with root-relative paths.

### Cards and Badges

Index pages use a `<Cards>` grid. Each `<Card>` can carry one or more `<Badge>` tags to indicate scope, status, or read-time.

Valid intents: `success`, `note`, `tip`, `warning`, `error`, `info`, `launch`, `check`. Use `<Badge minimal outlined>...</Badge>` (no intent) for neutral tags.

Place badges as the last line inside the `<Card>`, separated by a blank line from the body text. The CSS in `main.css` (`.fern-card .fern-docs-badge`) handles spacing — do not add inline `style=` props.

```mdx
<Cards>
  <Card title="Quickstart" href="/main/get-started/quickstart">
    Install, start servers, and collect your first rollouts in one page.

    <Badge intent="success" minimal outlined>start here</Badge> <Badge minimal outlined>5 min</Badge>
  </Card>
</Cards>
```

## Frontmatter Fields

```yaml
---
title: "<Page Title>"        # required — used for nav and <h1>
description: ""              # required (may be empty string) — SEO
position: 1                  # optional — orders auto-discovered pages within a folder
---
```

The MDX body should still open with `# <Page Title>` matching the frontmatter title. Folders using `title-source: frontmatter` in the version YAML pull the nav label from `title:`.

## Validate

First-time setup: authenticate the CLI against the `nvidia` Fern org via Google SSO (one-time, browser flow):

```bash
npx -y fern-api@latest login    # opens browser → sign in with your @nvidia.com Google account
```

Run from `fern/` (no install step — scripts shell out to `npx -y fern-api@latest`):

```bash
npm run check       # `fern check` — YAML + frontmatter validation
npm run dev         # `fern docs dev` — localhost:3000 hot-reload preview
```

`fern check` must pass before commit. The dev server's broken-link warnings for cross-version links like `/latest/about` are **false positives** — Fern's local validator does not resolve the version slug from `docs.yml` against `latest.yml`. The published site renders them correctly.

To regenerate the autodoc library reference (gitignored under `product-docs/`):

```bash
npm run generate:library    # `fern docs md generate`
```

## Commit & Preview

```bash
git add fern/
git commit -s -m "docs: <add|update|remove> <page-title>"
```

PRs that touch `fern/**` get an automatic Fern preview URL posted as a comment by `.github/workflows/fern-docs-preview-comment.yml`. No manual step needed.

```
                    ┌─ fern-docs-ci.yml                  → fern check
PR (touches fern/) ─┼─ fern-docs-preview-build.yml       → upload fern/ artifact (no secrets)
                    └─ fern-docs-preview-comment.yml     → 🌿 preview URL comment

Push to main (touches docs/** or fern/**) → publish-fern-docs.yml → docs.nvidia.com/nemo/gym
Tag push (docs/v*)                        → publish-fern-docs.yml → docs.nvidia.com/nemo/gym
Manual dispatch                           → publish-fern-docs.yml → docs.nvidia.com/nemo/gym
```

The preview-comment + publish jobs require the `DOCS_FERN_TOKEN` repository or organization secret (from `fern token`).

## Publishing to Production

Production publishes on three triggers (see `.github/workflows/publish-fern-docs.yml`):

1. **Push to `main`** when `docs/**` or `fern/**` changes — continuous staging.
2. **Tag push** matching `docs/v*` — versioned release.
3. **Manual dispatch** from the Actions tab.

Tag format must be `docs/v<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>`. Do not push a tag unless the user asks.

```bash
git tag docs/v0.3.0
git push origin docs/v0.3.0
```

URL → version mapping:

```
docs.nvidia.com/nemo/gym/latest/...   → GA alias (currently mirrors v0.2.1)
docs.nvidia.com/nemo/gym/main/...     → bleeding-edge train (folder: ./latest/pages)
docs.nvidia.com/nemo/gym/v0.2.1/...   → 0.2.1 GA snapshot
```

## Cutting a New Version Train

When the user ships a new version (e.g. `v0.3.0`):

1. `cp -r fern/versions/latest fern/versions/v0.3.0` — frozen snapshot of the bleeding-edge folder.
2. `cp fern/versions/main.yml fern/versions/v0.3.0.yml` and rewrite `./latest/` path prefixes to `./v0.3.0/`.
3. Retarget the `fern/versions/latest.yml` symlink at the new GA's yml: `cd fern/versions && ln -sfn v0.3.0.yml latest.yml`.
4. In `fern/docs.yml` `versions:`, add the new GA snapshot entry (`display-name: "0.3.0"`, `slug: v0.3.0`, `availability: stable`) and demote/remove the previous GA snapshot per the support policy.
5. `fern/versions/latest/pages/` keeps moving forward as the bleeding-edge tree. `main.yml` is unchanged.
6. Tag `docs/v0.3.0` and push to publish.

## Debugging

| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| `fern check` YAML error | 2-space indent; `- page:` inside `contents:`; `path:` is relative to the version YAML file |
| Page 404 in preview | `slug:` missing/duplicated in the same section; or `position:` collision in an auto-discovered folder |
| Broken-link warning for `/latest/...` cross-version link | False positive in `fern docs dev`; works on published site |
| `JSX expressions must have one parent element` | Wrap multi-element MDX content in `<>...</>` or a `<div>` |
| Old URL breaks (page renamed/moved) | Add a `redirects:` entry in `fern/docs.yml` |
| Library reference missing | `npm run generate:library` in `fern/` |
| Broken image | Path is relative to the MDX file; check `fern/assets/` exists |
| Card badges have no spacing | Don't add inline styles — `main.css` `.fern-card .fern-docs-badge` rules handle it |
| `/latest/<page>` and `/<current-ga>/<page>` show different content | They shouldn't — `latest.yml` should mirror the current GA version's yml and point at the same `./<current-ga>/pages/...` content. Sync them. |

## Key References

| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `fern/docs.yml` | Site config, versions, redirects, libraries |
| `fern/versions/latest.yml` | GA alias — symlink to the current GA's yml |
| `fern/versions/main.yml` | Nav tree for the bleeding-edge train (mounts `./latest/pages`) |
| `fern/versions/v0.2.1.yml` | Nav tree for the 0.2.1 GA snapshot |
| `fern/versions/<ver>/pages/` | MDX content for a version |
| `fern/components/` | Custom TSX (CTAButtons, NavButton, CustomFooter) |
| `fern/assets/` | Shared images, SVGs, favicon |
| `fern/main.css` | Global theme overrides — NVIDIA green, card/badge spacing |
| `fern/package.json` | `npm run check|dev|generate|generate:library` — each wraps `npx -y fern-api@latest` |
| `.github/workflows/fern-docs-*.yml` | CI: check, preview build, preview comment |
| `.github/workflows/publish-fern-docs.yml` | CI: publish to docs.nvidia.com/nemo/gym |

      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
