Quick answer
Supported and tested versions have compatibility evidence. Recommended and bundled versions describe upstream choices without establishing compatibility. Versions outside the documented coverage are unknown, not necessarily incompatible.
Supported Kibana versions
Kibana and Elasticsearch patch-version differences within the same minor release are generally supported; Elastic encourages matching the exact patch version.
Kibana with a newer minor or a different major is not supported. An older Kibana minor is only intended temporarily while upgrading Elasticsearch first.
