All comments in this review were addressed and resolved (see inline replies; commit fae54fb), and the audit page completed a full review cycle. Dismissing the stale change request to merge into the 8.2.0 release branch. Re-review welcome — any follow-up for the audit page is tracked in DOC-6650 or can be addressed on the release-rs-8.2.0 branch.

These are drafts and this PR is still a work in progress.
Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only changes with no runtime or application code; main risk is factual accuracy of breaking changes and API behavior for operators upgrading to 8.2.
Overview
Adds Redis Software 8.2.x documentation, centered on 8.2.0-25 (July 2026) release notes and an 8.2.x index, covering highlights (database-scoped roles, CRUD auditing, FIPS 140-3), breaking changes, deprecations, limitations, and security/CVE lists.
Lifecycle and compatibility embeds now include 8.2 (bundled DB versions through 8.6, default 8.6), an 8.2.x upgrade-path column, 8.0 EOL July 2028, and supported-platform matrix changes (e.g. Amazon Linux 2 not on 8.2).
Security and access control expands materially:
audit_settings(modes, username/IP filters, key-byte limits) replaces/deprecatesdb_conns_auditing; the audit-events guide is rewritten for connection + command (CRUD) auditing, JSON examples, validation errors, andaudit_sink_*metrics. New guides cover disabling REST API Basic/Digest auth (control_plane_basic_authentication) and scopingdb_member/db_viewerroles viaresources. REST API objects addallow_modules_upload,gradual_sync_policy, and roleresources.Operations references clarify database availability (master shard + port binding; granular
bdb_unavailable_*error codes) and add Prometheusredis_server_search_total_coord_dispatch_time_ms.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 7ddf53b. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
