 Add `status-tooltip` to override the hover text on an `unreleased` badge, or `beta-tooltip` on a `beta` badge.
 
+=== A shipped feature that only exists as of a version: `since`
+
+`status` answers "is this public yet," which is a question about a *branch* (prerelease or not). A different question comes up once a feature has fully shipped: an ordinarily-GA feature -- no `status` key at all -- still has a *first* version, and older released versions predate it. Without a check, a feature that ships in 26.3 would render as fully available on a 24.1 page that predates it by two years, because `status` alone has nothing to say about that.
+
+`since` closes that gap:
+
+[,yaml]
+----
+- name: My Shipped Feature
+  scope: redpanda
+  since: '26.3'
+  description: What it does.
+  expiration: What happens when the licence expires.
+----
+
+The check is against the *page's own version*, not the newest release: a mention on a 26.3 (or later) page renders normally, with no badge, because as of that page's version the feature has shipped. The identical mention on a 26.2 page renders as plain text with no styling, tooltip, or link, and a warning -- the same failure mode as an unreleased feature, but for a version reason rather than a branch reason:
+
+[literal]
+----
+[HH:MM:SS.mmm] WARN (enterprise-macro): enterprise:My Shipped Feature[] in
+modules/manage/pages/example.adoc: 'My Shipped Feature' is marked since: 26.3 in
+the enterprise features registry, but this page is version 26.2, which predates
+it. Move the mention to a page whose version is at or after the since version, or
+remove since if the feature covers this version too.
+----
+
+`since` and `status: unreleased` are independent and can combine: a feature still in an RC carries `status: unreleased` while it is not public at all, then drops that key once it ships and (optionally) gains `since` set to the version it shipped in, so older released versions stop claiming it. Most shipped features need neither key.

+The preview site in this repository has fixtures for every case above, including a prerelease component version and a Cloud component. The fast, fully local way to build just those fixtures, with no GitHub token and no real docs/cloud-docs content:
 
 [,bash]

 ----
 
-Open `/preview/macros-showcase/`, which shows each macro call, what it renders, and why. `/preview/release-status-test/` and `/macro-fixtures/26.3/` show the same unreleased feature gated on a released version and badged on a prerelease one.
+That builds `local-macro-showcase-playbook.yml` in seconds. Run `./scripts/macro-test.sh --serve` instead when you also want the fixtures proven against real production content (needs a token; pulls the full docs, cloud-docs, redpanda-labs, and rp-connect-docs repos).
+
+Either way, open `/preview/macros-course/` first -- it's a hands-on course, not just a reference: it has you mark a property and register an enterprise feature, then edit the actual fixture data (a property JSON, the enterprise registry) yourself and rebuild to watch the macros react, including reproducing the `status: unreleased` gate on purpose. It links to `/preview/macros-showcase/`, which shows every other macro call, what it renders, and why, as pure reference. `/macro-fixtures/26.2/` and `/macro-fixtures/26.3/` are two versions of the SAME component -- one released, one prerelease (`prerelease: true` in its `antora.yml`) -- so flipping the version selector between them shows the same enterprise: mentions rendering differently with no edits: the unreleased feature badged on 26.3 and gated on 26.2, the since-gated feature (shipped `since: '26.3'`) gated on 26.2 and shipped plain on 26.3, and the beta feature badged on both. `/preview/release-status-test/` shows the unreleased/beta contrast again from a third, versionless component. `/macro-fixtures-cloud/` shows the Cloud availability rules.

 This inline macro marks a feature as an enterprise feature in prose. The feature name renders as a uniquely styled term with a tooltip explaining that the feature requires an Enterprise Edition license, and links to the feature's documentation or to the licensing page.
 
-The macro validates its target against the enterprise features registry: `modules/ROOT/partials/enterprise-features.yml` in the `shared` component (the `shared/` folder of the docs repository). The registry is the canonical list of enterprise features and their approved external names.
