## Problem
The guide alternated between context, procedure, and reference on almost
every heading. A reader who wanted to write a policy passed through four
context or reference sections to reach one. A reader who wanted the
model had to skip three procedures.
## Solution
- Group into three sections by information type: `Understand Row Level
Security`, `Secure a table with RLS`, and `RLS reference`, with a
navigation intro.
- Merge the four policy sections. They repeated the same setup block,
burying the clause that differed. One setup block now precedes four
short policy examples.
- Move the auto-enable recipe into `event-triggers.mdx`, whose stub
section's entire body was a link back here.
- Relocate the stranded `auth.uid()` caution into the `auth.uid()`
reference.
- Lift the revoke-and-grant procedure out of the danger admonition and
merge it with the two other places that taught `enable row level
security`.
- Point the Grafana IO chart entry at the performance guide. Its
`#rls-performance-recommendations` anchor went away when tuning split
out in #49016.
765 lines to 582. 30 headings to 25.
Headings are demoted rather than renamed wherever anything links to
them. Every inbound anchor in the repo still resolves; the only one
removed, `#auto-enable-rls-for-new-tables`, was referenced solely by the
`event-triggers.mdx` stub this PR replaces.
## Note on the history
Rebuilt from `master` after #49011, #49015, and #49016 merged. The
branch previously carried those 10 commits plus rebase churn against
them.
Rebasing naively would have reverted review feedback from #49016
(`70fa812`), which removed the benchmarks table and the "This guide"
opener from the performance guide. Those are deliberately not restored
here. The only changes to that file are two missing `await`s and a join
predicate that was a tautology while unqualified.
The three PRs stacked on this one (#49268, #49269, #49270) have been
rebased onto the new base.
## Manual testing
1. Open the [Row Level Security
guide](https://docs-git-docs-rls-restructure-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/postgres/row-level-security)
on the preview. Three top-level sections appear in the table of
contents.
2. Select each link in the intro. All three jump to their section.
3. Open [Event
triggers](https://docs-git-docs-rls-restructure-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/postgres/event-triggers).
The auto-enable section holds the full recipe instead of a link.
4. Open the [performance
guide](https://docs-git-docs-rls-restructure-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/postgres/row-level-security-performance).
No benchmarks table, and the three bullets at the top link into the RLS
guide.

Closes DOCS-1057
Contributes to DOCS-1052
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.
YES
## Problem
We have hundreds of MDX lint warnings in our docs going against style
best practices.
## Solution
Remove and replace in context the following:
- PostgreSQL. There was only one. There was concern about exceptions,
but I found none.
- Just
- Quickly
- Actually
### What changed
Edits follow the [Google developer documentation style
guide](https://developers.google.com/style): concise, direct, active
voice. The flagged words were removed when the sentence still read well,
or replaced when meaning needed to be preserved.
### Common patterns
| Flagged word | Approach | Example |
|---|---|---|
| **just** (filler) | Removed | "you just installed" → "you installed" |
| **just** (limiting) | **only** | "just one row" → "only one row" |
| **just like** | **like** / **the same as** | "function just like
regular users" → "function like regular users" |
| **not just** | **not only** | "not just errors" → "not only errors" |
| **quickly** (performance) | **efficiently** or removed | "find rows
quickly" → "find rows efficiently" |
| **quickly** (time) | **soon** / **rapidly** / removed | "expires too
quickly" → "expires too soon" |
| **actually** (filler) | Removed | "actually execute" → "execute"; "is
actually the most common" → "is the most common" |
## Tophatting
1. See the diff.
2. See that content continues to make sense in context.
3. Locally, `cd apps/docs` and run `pnpm run lint:mdx`.
4. Search for "just," "actually," "quickly", and "PostgreSQL" and see
there are 0 warnings.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Documentation**
* Updated wording across quickstarts, guides, and troubleshooting
articles for grammar, clarity, and consistent step-by-step phrasing.
* Clarified key concepts including Row Level Security policy evaluation
across Supabase products, deferred foreign key constraint behavior, and
when `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` executes queries (and related side effects).
* Refined several troubleshooting instructions and added guidance to cap
log payload size to reduce billed Logs Ingest volume.

Summary
- move the auto-enable RLS trigger SQL example from the event trigger
guide into the row-level-security guide with a full example
- keep a reference in the event trigger guide that points to the
row-level-security section instead of duplicating the SQL snippet

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Documentation**
* Reorganized PostgreSQL Row Level Security documentation with a new
dedicated guide section on automatically enabling RLS for newly created
tables
* Note: Auto-enable RLS applies only to tables created after
installation; existing tables require manual enabling
