Subject: [PATCH] fix(studio): invalidate notebook caches after assistant
 create/update (#49415)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary
- The assistant's `create_notebook`/`update_notebook` tools run entirely
server-side, so an open notebook tab's React Query cache and Valtio
store never learn a write happened — the tab keeps showing stale content
until a manual reload.
- Adds `collectNotebookCacheEffects`/`applyNotebookCacheEffects`
(`apps/studio/lib/ai/notebook-cache-invalidation.ts`), which scan
finished assistant messages for completed
`create_notebook`/`update_notebook` tool calls and evict the affected
notebook via `evictNotebookFromCaches`
(`apps/studio/data/content/notebooks/notebook-cache.ts`), plus
invalidate the nav list.
- Wired into `createChatInstance`'s `onFinish` in
`state/ai-assistant-state.tsx`, with per-chat dedupe so replayed history
isn't reprocessed.
- Removes the cache entry outright rather than invalidating it, since a
remounting `useNotebookQuery` would otherwise read the stale cached
value synchronously before its refetch lands.
- Explicitly skips eviction when the open tab has unsaved local edits,
so an assistant write can't silently discard them.

Related: [FE-4235](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/FE-4235)

**Out of scope:** this only protects the client-side cache/store from
being clobbered after the fact. Preventing the assistant's
`update_notebook` tool call itself from overwriting a user's unsaved
edits (a data-layer conflict, not a cache-freshness one) is tracked
separately in [FE-4255](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/FE-4255).

## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm test:studio -- notebook-cache notebook-cache-invalidation
ai-assistant-state.notebook-cache-invalidation
ExplorerNotebookTab.assistant-cache-invalidation
ExplorerNotebookTabCoordinator` — all passing
- [x] Reproduction-first component test
(`ExplorerNotebookTab.assistant-cache-invalidation.test.tsx`) — verified
it fails without the fix (stale content persists) and passes with it
- [x] Regression test for the dirty-notebook guard (an edited, unsaved
notebook is left untouched by an assistant write)
- [x] `pnpm typecheck --filter=studio` / `pnpm lint --filter=studio`
clean

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Notebook changes made through the AI assistant now appear correctly in
open notebook tabs and after reopening them.
* Saved notebook caches are refreshed after completed create or update
actions, preventing stale content from being displayed.
  * Unsaved notebook changes are preserved during cache cleanup.
  * Closing a notebook tab now consistently removes its cached content.

* **Tests**
* Added coverage for assistant-driven updates, remounts, duplicate
actions, project context changes, and cache behavior.
