The set of bundled packages included with Kibana is dictated by a top-level `fleet_packages.json` file in the Kibana repo. This file includes a list of packages with a pinned version that Kibana will consider bundled. When the Kibana distributable is built, a [build task](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/src/dev/build/tasks/bundle_fleet_packages.ts) will resolve these packages from the Elastic Package Registry, download the appropriate version as a `.zip` archive, and place it in a directory configurable by a `xpack.fleet.bundledPackageLocation` value in `kibana.yml`. By default, these archives are stored in `x-pack/plugins/fleet/.target/bundled_packages/`. In CI/CD, we [override](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/x-pack/test/fleet_api_integration/config.ts#L20) this default with `/tmp/fleet_bundled_packages`.

Until further automation is added, this `fleet_packages.json` file should be updated as part of the release process to ensure the latest compatible version of each bundled package is included with that Kibana version.
Until further automation is added, this `fleet_packages.json` file should be updated as part of the release process to ensure the latest compatible version of each bundled package is included with that Kibana version. **This must be done before the final BC for a release is built.**
Tracking issues should be opened and tracked by the Fleet UI team. See https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/129309 as an example.
