run docs-build is much faster than run docs-build rebuild. A rebuild should only be needed in rare situations.

If your PR continues to fail for an unknown reason, the doc build pipeline may be broken. Elastic employees can check the pipeline status here.

Should we include the additional description for this issue that was added for the release notes in 9.1.3: https://github.com/elastic/docs-content/pull/2724/files#diff-0476d2b5e8583455aaff701598366cc737043bc8281d1ad393d4790cbbbe6152R45 ?

This is just based on a difference in how the automation works for Markdown vs. AsciiDoc. I'd rather not manually copy over the description here since all other AsciiDoc release notes only use the summary.


Elastic Agent::

* Upgrade to Go version 1.24.6. {agent-pull}9287[#9287]

In the release notes for 9.1.3, it seems Pierre requested that only one of the issues is included for this issue and for the issue on line 58 (maybe the ones that are related to the specific branch, maybe). Not sure if such a change is needed here or not.

@colleenmcginnis sorry, I didn’t notice this was set to auto-merge… Should we update the release notes based on the comments, or can we leave it like this?
