Closes FE-3966
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.
YES
## Problem
- The admonition uses both 'tip' and 'note', but the visual distinction
has long-ago collapsed.
- 'Note' is used far more frequently than 'tip'
- The two are very similar and it is confusing to know which one to use
when they are visually identical
## Solution
Collapse 'tip' and 'note' into one by removing all places where there is
'tip' and updating all references to 'tip' into 'note'.
**Note:** This PR also resolves new broken links flagged by the E2E docs
checker. It may move to another PR since E2Es keep erroring.
### Specific changes
See below for an AI-generated list of changes:
- **Type system** — removed `'tip'` from `AdmonitionType`, its
`TYPE_TO_VARIANT`/`TYPE_LABEL` entries, and the test case in
[`packages/ui-patterns/src/Admonition/](packages/ui-patterns/src/Admonition/)
- **Remark plugin** —
[remarkAdmonition.ts](apps/docs/lib/mdx/plugins/remarkAdmonition.ts) now
maps mkdocs `tip` → `note`
- **Lint allowlist** — `tip` dropped from `supa-mdx-lint.config.toml`
- **Content migration** — all 109 files with `type="tip"` (across
`apps/docs`, `apps/www`, `apps/studio`) converted to `type="note"`; zero
remaining hits confirmed by repo-wide grep
- **Style guide** — `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `contributing/content.mdx`
updated to describe 4 admonition types instead of 5
### Usage before implementation
See the usage table that points toward 'note' as being dominant across
all apps:
Here's the usage table:
| Location | `note` | `tip` |
|---|---|---|
| apps/docs | ~480 | ~143 |
| apps/studio | 34 | 6 |
| apps/www (blog) | 19 | 3 |
| packages/ui-patterns (tests) | 3 | 1 (parametrized) |
| design-system / ui-library / packages/ui / packages/common | 0–1 (test
fixture only) | 0 |

Note: the `www` rows use the `zone-www-dot-com` preview host, not the

docs.
## Manual testing
1. Open preview links for affected pages.
2. Inspect. Open console.
3. Paste the following in and see there is no 'Tip' on the page:
```
document.querySelectorAll('[role="alert"]').forEach(el => console.log(el.getAttribute('aria-label'), el.textContent.slice(0,60)))
```

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.
YES
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Resolves MDX linting errors related to "simple" where it applies.
There was a couple cases that did not apply. For example, a product with
"Simple" in the name.
These changes are made in context, either by removing or using a more
descriptive synonym like "minimal" or "basic".
## Tophatting
1. Read each of the diffs.
2. See that the text still makes sense in context.
For extra due diligence, you can run `pnpm lint:mdx` locally and see the
'simple' errors that remain and whether they are worth addressing.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Documentation**
* Updated many guide, tutorial, and troubleshooting pages with clearer
“basic”/“minimal” wording across setup steps, local testing
instructions, security cautions, and RLS guidance.
* Refined headings, example descriptions, and inline comments for
consistency (including deployment, MCP, metrics API, and search/function
phrasing).
* Improved readability with small snippet formatting tweaks (whitespace
plus import/comment ordering) and added a self-hosting debugging note
for Envoy admin endpoints via a short-lived `curl` container.
