Subject: [PATCH] feat(studio): refine pipeline creation copy (#50751)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Problem

The pipeline creation sheet uses generic examples, inconsistent
destination terminology, and Advanced settings copy that does not
explain what is being overridden. Its Docs button also sends most
destinations to the general Pipelines guide.

This PR is stacked on #50719 so the shared copy builds on the focused
Snowflake field improvements.

## Solution

Adds destination-specific pipeline-name examples and field descriptions,
clarifies destination summaries and Advanced settings, uses
human-readable ClickHouse engine names, shortens the primary action to
**Start pipeline**, and links the Docs button to the selected
destination guide.

## Review instructions

1. Open **[Database
Replication](https://studio-staging-git-dnywh-studiorefine-pipeline-1eaf59-supabase.vercel.app/dashboard/project/_/database/replication)**
and click **Add pipeline**.
2. Switch between destination types and confirm the pipeline-name
example, destination summary, and field descriptions update
appropriately.
3. Open **Advanced settings** and confirm the batch wait-time default is
shown in the description while the input placeholder is `10000`.
4. Select each supported destination and confirm **Docs** opens its
matching destination guide.
5. Select ClickHouse and confirm the engine choices read
**ReplacingMergeTree** and **MergeTree**.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Updates**
* Clarified replication settings, destination field descriptions, and
batch wait-time guidance.
* Added destination-specific pipeline name placeholders and updated the
labels for ClickHouse engine options.
  * Clarified ClickHouse password guidance for new destinations.
* Updated new-pipeline buttons to say “Start pipeline” or “Start
pipeline anyway.”
* Added destination-specific documentation links for BigQuery,
ClickHouse, DuckLake, and Snowflake.
