**troubleshooting.ts** - New source loader that reads local MDX files
from content/troubleshooting/ directly instead of fetching from GitHub
Discussions API
- Generates correct docs paths: /guides/troubleshooting/{slug}
- Uses type = 'troubleshooting' for proper search result mapping
- Sets slug: undefined to avoid trailing # in URLs
- Checksum includes title/topics/keywords so metadata-only changes
trigger re-indexing
- Left comments for review
**index.ts** - Replaced GitHub discussion sources with local
troubleshooting sources
- Removed GitHubDiscussionLoader, fetchDiscussions,
buildGithubUrlToSlugMap imports
- Added fetchTroubleshootingSources and TroubleshootingSource
- Updated SearchSource type union
**globalSearchModel.ts** - Changed type mapping from
'github-discussions' to 'troubleshooting'
**generate-embeddings.ts** - Removed GitHub App env vars from required
list (DOCS_GITHUB_APP_ID, DOCS_GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID,
DOCS_GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY) since they're no longer needed

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Local troubleshooting articles are now indexed and appear directly in
search results for easier access to step‑by‑step guidance.
* Search UI now recognizes a Troubleshooting page type and shows
appropriate icons/sections.
* **Refactor**
* Search sourcing switched from external discussion feeds to local
troubleshooting sources to improve relevance and indexing consistency.

* feat: alternate search index for nimbus
Create an alternate search index for Nimbus that filters out
feature-flagged pages (equivalent to setting all feature flags to
false).
Notes:
- Creates two new DB tables, `page_nimbus` and `page_section_nimbus`,
which are filtered versions of `page` and `page_section`
- Makes `nimbus` versions of all the DB search functions
- Refactored the embedding upload script. Changes to make it faster (got
annoyed by how slow it was when testing...), incorporate retries, and
produce better summary logs.
- Upload script, when run with the environment variable
ENABLED_FEATURES_OVERRIDE_DISABLE_ALL, produces and uploads the
alternate search index
- Changed all the search calls in frontend/API to check for
`isFeatureEnabled('search:fullIndex')` to determine whether to search
the full or alternate index
* ci: produce nimbus search indexes on merge
* fix: turn full search index on
* refactor: reading markdown docs files
Refactor how Markdown docs files are read:
- Reuses the same logic across search index generation & page generation
- Improves the indexed content for search:
- Stops removing MDX components, which often contain useful
information like Admonitions
- Denormalizes Partials and CodeSamples for more complete content
This is a prerequisite step for implementing the "Copy docs as Markdown"
functionality.
Only touches regular guides for now, not federated ones.
* fix: tailwind build error (#37728)
We changed to default to ESM imports a while ago, which means local
builds are now breaking because the Tailwind uses a require. Changed to
CJS for Tailwind config file. (I have no idea how this has been working
on Vercel all this time.)
* style: prettier
Implement hybrid search for the /docs/api/graphql searchDocs endpoint. Prepend a more descriptive title and introduction to database advisor docs so they rank more highly when directly searched for.
* docs: add cursor rule for embedding generation process
Add documentation for cursor IDE about how docs embeddings are generated,
including the workflow for creating and uploading semantic search content.
* feat: improve API reference metadata upload with descriptive content
- Add preembeddings script to run codegen before embedding generation
- Enhance OpenApiReferenceSource to generate more descriptive content including
parameters, responses, path information, and better structured documentation
* feat: add Management API references to searchDocs GraphQL query
- Add ManagementApiReference GraphQL type and model for API endpoint search results
- Integrate Management API references into global search results
- Update test snapshots and add comprehensive test coverage for Management API search
* style: format
strictNullChecks was off for docs, which lets errors slip through and
leads to incorrect required/optional typing on Zod-inferred types. This
PR enables strictNullChecks and fixes all the existing violations.
* feat(content api): add client library api reference search results
Allow searchDocs results to also return function references from the
client library APIs
* fix(content api): refine language enum handling
Add a top-level field to search docs globally. Right now this only
returns Markdown guides (not references, GitHub discussions, or partner
pages.
The full GraphQL schema at this point:

}
type RootQueryType {
"""Get the GraphQL schema for this endpoint"""
schema: String!
"""Search the Supabase docs for content matching a query string"""
searchDocs(query: String!, limit: Int): SearchResultCollection
}
"""A collection of search results containing content from Supabase docs"""
type SearchResultCollection {
"""A list of edges containing nodes in this collection"""
edges: [SearchResultEdge!]!
"""The nodes in this collection, directly accessible"""
nodes: [SearchResult!]!
"""The total count of items available in this collection"""
totalCount: Int!
}
"""An edge in a collection of SearchResults"""
type SearchResultEdge {
"""The SearchResult at the end of the edge"""
node: SearchResult!
}
"""Document that matches a search query"""
interface SearchResult {
"""The title of the matching result"""
title: String
"""The URL of the matching result"""
href: String
"""The full content of the matching result"""
content: String
}
