Updated the docs based on our experience QA-ing
https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/19372
There will be a follow-up PR with some details for generating the base
installer during development.
This is a really bad PR. I am sorry. I previewed it and I know it looks
horrible. Please consider it only little stickerboard of ideas.
I do, however, stand by these ideas (though not my execution of them):
- changing the first sentence to clarify whether or not this is SSO for
the Fleet console GUI/CLI experience, or if we're talking about end user
admin for employees using Fleet Desktop / getting "zero touched"
(signing into their ABM'd or autopiloted devices)
- finding some way to name Okta, and ideally the other examples I
provided, for SEO, to give people examples from a set, to get
recognizable names of the integratiion above the fold, to give people a
dash of personality by including authentik
- consolidating JIT and the other SAML implementation details into a
sentence
- unhoisting it downards (though not in the weird way I did it) -

- Update section headers so that config options show up in the right
side bar. Today, there's only one header that shows up in the sidebar:
- Remove "Example YAML" sections b/c they're redundant. More to maintain
Changes:
- Standard query library:
- Added three policies to the Standard query library (tagged as premium)
- Changed the `kind` of the "Identify Apple development secrets (macOS)"
query to `policy` because it is an informational query (It returns rows
of results rather than 1 or 0) and removed its `resolution` value
- Updated the build-static-content script to remove platform names from
the end of query names (e.g., (macOS)). This is done to keep the URLs
for queries the same while hiding them in the UI
- Updated the layout of the queries page to match the latest wireframes
and updated the page to only show policies
- Updated the styles and layout of the queries-details page.

#21998
While looking through this I noticed a few other issues:
1. We seem to be inconsistent about what time we pick for OS update
deadlines. For profiles [it's noon local
time](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/2e5bf75b6d40d65c5f05b0f58665375dbb71e650/ee/server/service/mdm.go#L1096),
while for Nudge [it appears to be 4am...server time or
UTC](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/2e5bf75b6d40d65c5f05b0f58665375dbb71e650/server/fleet/nudge.go#L53-L57)?
#9013 also mentions "noon UTC-8/Pacific Standard Time", which is neither
of the above (and means that, if implemented as spec'd, the deadline
would shift by an hour during DST), while docs prior to this PR
mentioned 4am UTC-8. Maybe we don't care enough to fix the Nudge
behavior since macOS 14 (which no longer requires Nudge) came out over a
year ago, but we should at least agree on desired behavior for DDM and
document that (which is what I've done for iOS/iPad OS since they don't
use Nudge).
2. The [REST API
docs](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/2e5bf75b6d40d65c5f05b0f58665375dbb71e650/docs/REST%20API/rest-api.md?plain=1#L1720-L1757)
don't seem to match the description of macOS behavior in the article;
the former indicates that OS updates pop up with increasing frequency
post-deadline, rather than having an impassible dialog. This may be
because behavior changed from Nudge to DDM, but iOS/iPadOS got
copy-pasted from the macOS REST docs and they never used Nudge. My guess
is that we should describe DDM behavior here.
Tagging in @mna as he looks to have implemented DDM OS updates so should
have some context here, and @noahtalerman to confirm desired behavior,
particularly on the deadline side.

This applies some consistency fixes as well (e.g. noting that Mac/Win
enforcement requires MDM). Also removed mention of MDM on iOS/iPadOS
enforcement as if an iOS/iPadOS host is enrolled, it's enrolled via MDM.

Closes https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/22951
- Updated the guides listed on
https://fleetdm.com/docs/get-started/tutorials-and-guides to only
include the most essential onboarding guides. Guides are listed in the
following order:
- Deploying Fleet
- Organizational units
- Controls
- Installing software
- Admin
- Added archive notices to the three "How to install osquery..."
articles
- Added "Further reading" links to the bottom of the Queries guide and
Policies guide to point to related advanced topics
- Renamed "Managing labels in Fleet" to "Labels" for parallelism with
our other guides (left the URL as is, no redirect necessary)
- Renamed "What are Fleet policies" to "Policies" for parallelism with
our other guides (left the URL as is, no redirect necessary)
- Update guides to reflect use case: automatically run scripts and
install software
- @noahtalerman: I removed top image from "Automatically run scripts"
b/c I think it looked rushed/unexpected
- Update "execute" language to "run" and add "manual" language
- Clarify when a policy's host counts are reset
- Clarify support for policy automations: team v. default (global) v. no
team
- Update `software.packages` example to best practice: separate file
- Inline is supported for backwards compatibility
- Remove `policies` and `controls` call outs about "No team." This info
is covered in the starter filed in fleetdm/gitops. For an example, see
`teams/no-teams.yml` here:
https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet-gitops/blob/main/teams/no-team.yml
