Summary

  • Prose-only rebrand across all docs/ markdown files and docset.yml for the 9.5 GA release (July 28, 2026).
  • Machine identifiers unchanged: URL path slugs (edot-java/), applies_to product IDs (edot-java, edot-sdk, edot-collector), env vars, binary names, and package names in code blocks are all preserved as-is.
  • Explicit backward-compat anchors added to every renamed heading to preserve old slugs (e.g. [edot-java-configuration], [features-of-the-edot-java-agent], etc.).
  • Changelog/releases YAML files left untouched as historical records for pre-9.5 entries.
  • {{agent}} / {{agents}} / {{stack}} substitution variables used where appropriate instead of literal "Elastic Agent" / "Elastic Stack".
