Pamela Chia 770f1c2b06 fix(aeo): remove ua-based markdown serving (#47770)
## Summary
The `ChatGPT-User` live-fetch agent's user-facing reader hard-fails
(`(400) OK`) on pages we serve it as markdown via user-agent matching,
which made supabase.com blog and product pages unreadable in that
assistant. I root-caused this with a controlled fetch diagnostic
cross-checked against our request logs: the failing fetches never reach
our origin (the failure is cached on their side), pages served as plain
HTML read fine everywhere we tested, and the same failure reproduces on
other major sites that serve UA-matched markdown, so the reader bug is
upstream.

This PR removes user-agent-based markdown serving entirely rather than
special-casing one agent: UA sniffing is a guess about contractless
clients whose fetchers change without notice, and this incident showed
the failure mode is silent (we keep serving 200s while the user-facing
agent breaks). Markdown remains available on every explicit signal —
`Accept: text/markdown` q-value negotiation, explicit `.md` URLs, and
llms.txt — which is the same contract-driven model the Claude fetcher
already uses successfully (it sends `Accept: text/markdown, text/html,
*/*` and keeps receiving markdown after this change).

## Changes
- Remove the `LLM_USER_AGENT` regex and the `userAgent` parameter from
`negotiateMarkdown` in `packages/common/markdown-negotiation.ts`;
decisions now depend only on `Accept`, the `.md` suffix, and the
markdown-variant manifest
- Update both consuming middlewares (`apps/www`, `apps/docs`) to the new
signature; no behavior change for Accept-negotiated or `.md` requests
- Add the missing `Vary: Accept` header to docs guides-md 200 responses
(the www `api-v2/md` route already declares it)
- Fix a pre-existing www bug surfaced in review: explicit changelog
`.md` URLs rewrote to a doubled `.md.md` path (404) under a
markdown-preferring `Accept`, and 406'd on a non-matching `Accept`. The
www middleware now strips the `.md` suffix before slug lookup and passes
`isMarkdownSuffix` into `negotiateMarkdown`, folding the separate
`MD_PAGES` `.md` block into the single negotiation path (same shape as
the docs middleware)
- Rework tests: UA-independence suites replace the per-agent rewrite
tests; a probe Accept header now 406s regardless of user agent
(previously agent UAs were exempt); new changelog `.md` negotiation
coverage

## Testing
Tested locally:
- [x] www middleware suite 36/36, docs middleware suite 17/17
- [x] typecheck green for common, www, docs

Verified on the Vercel previews (www + docs) with curl:
- [x] `ChatGPT-User` and `Claude-User` UA GETs on blog/pricing/guide
pages return `text/html` with a default Accept
- [x] Claude's real Accept (`text/markdown, text/html, */*`) still
returns `text/markdown`; `Accept: text/markdown` and `.md` URLs return
`text/markdown`; probe Accept returns 406
- [x] `/changelog/<slug>.md` with `Accept: text/markdown` returns the
entry markdown as a direct 200 (production today detours through a 308
to the bare URL); changelog index `.md` and bare-entry Accept
negotiation also verified
- [x] docs guides markdown 200s carry `Vary: Accept`

The intermediate commit (ChatGPT-User-only exclusion) was already
verified on the preview: `ChatGPT-User` got HTML while
`Accept`/`.md`/other-UA markdown was unaffected.

Expected effects post-merge: UA-driven markdown volume in the request
logs (~92% of md traffic) collapses to the Accept + `.md` baseline;
named-agent page requests return to prerendered/static serving,
reversing the extra Vercel function invocations the UA rewrite
introduced; user-facing readability in the affected assistant recovers
within ~24h as its fetch cache revalidates. The md-share dashboard gets
a dated annotation; the ratio is not comparable across this change.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Markdown and HTML routing now depends on the request’s `Accept` header
and `.md` links, making content negotiation more predictable.
* Requests that don’t accept available content now consistently return
`406 Not Acceptable`, even for bot-like user agents.
* Guide markdown responses now include an `Accept`-based cache variation
header to improve correct caching behavior.

Pamela Chia d409836ca7 feat(www,docs): serve marketing pages as .md, advertise via link rel=alternate (#45277)
## Summary

Adds `/<page>.md` routes for 10 marketing/product pages (homepage, auth,
database, edge-functions, realtime, storage, vector, pricing,
modules/cron, modules/queues) so AI agents can fetch clean markdown
instead of parsing JS-rendered HTML. Also advertises the markdown
alternate via `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">` on marketing
and docs pages so agents can discover it.

Pricing is generated dynamically via `generatePricingContent()` (single
source of truth with `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt`); the other nine
slugs are bundled at build time from `content/md/*.md` into a
`MD_CONTENT` map.

Supersedes #44891 (rebased fresh off current master to avoid a 9-commit
replay over rename/rename conflicts created by #44897).

## Changes

- New `/api-v2/md/[...slug]` route handler returns the bundled markdown
(or dynamic pricing) with `Content-Type: text/markdown`,
`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, and appropriate cache headers
- Middleware rewrites `/<slug>.md` and `Accept: text/markdown` to the
API route for the `MD_PAGES` allowlist; trailing-slash variants
(`/auth/`) are normalized so they resolve the same as `/auth`
- Build-time codegen `scripts/generateMdContent.mjs` scans `content/md/`
and emits `app/api-v2/md/content.generated.ts` exporting both
`MD_CONTENT` (Map) and `MD_PAGES` (Set, incl. dynamic `pricing`). Fails
the build on slug collision between `content/md/` and `DYNAMIC_SLUGS`.
Adding a new marketing `.md` is just dropping a file in `content/md/`
(also update `PRODUCT_OVERVIEW_LINKS` in `/llms.txt` since that list is
editorial).
- 8 permanent redirects `/llms/<product>.txt` → `/<product>.md` so
legacy URLs in caches and downstream `llms.txt` copies keep working
- `/llms.txt` product overview now references `.md` URLs (incl.
`modules/cron`, `modules/queues`); `/llms-full.txt` iterates
`MD_CONTENT.values()` (homepage first, then alphabetical) and appends
dynamic pricing
- `/llms/[slug]` route slimmed to proxy SDK reference files (`js.txt`,
`dart.txt`, etc.) since redirects handle product slugs and pricing;
pricing branch retained as fallback in case redirects are bypassed
- `apps/www/pages/_app.tsx` injects the alternate link conditionally
based on `MD_PAGES`; `/pricing` (app router) sets it via page metadata
- `apps/docs/app/page.tsx` (the `/docs` root) sets the text/markdown
alternate to `/llms-full.txt`; per-guide pages override with their
specific `.md` URL via `genGuideMeta` in `GuidesMdx.utils.tsx`. Other
docs pages (reference, troubleshooting) inherit nothing.
- `apps/www/.vercelignore`: replaces the prior `*.md`/`README.md` rules
with `*.md` + `!content/md/**/*.md` so Edge Function READMEs and future
scratch `.md` files aren't silently shipped to the build artifact
- Drops `apps/www/data/llms/*.txt` and the related
`outputFileTracingIncludes`
- Test coverage for the new middleware branches: `.md` suffix rewrite
(allowlisted vs. fall-through), `Accept: text/markdown` content
negotiation, trailing-slash normalization

## Testing (Vercel preview)

Local dev server smoke tests passing on `:3771` after each iteration.
Re-verified on the preview URL after the latest hardening commit:

- [x] `curl -I https://<preview>/llms/auth.txt` — expect `308 Permanent
Redirect` to `/auth.md`
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/auth.md | head -3` — expect `# Supabase
Auth`
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/pricing.md | head -3` — expect `# Supabase
Pricing` with current tier values
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/modules/cron.md | head -3` — expect `#
Supabase Cron`
- [x] `curl -H 'Accept: text/markdown' https://<preview>/ | head -3` —
expect `# Supabase` (homepage.md)
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/llms.txt` — Product Overview section lists
`.md` URLs and includes Cron + Queues
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/llms-full.txt | grep -E '^# Supabase
(Cron\|Queues\|Pricing)'` — Cron and Pricing each match once; Queues
matches twice (marketing module + existing docs guide)
- [x] View source on `/`, `/pricing`, `/database` — expect `<link
rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="/<slug>.md">`
- [x] View source on `/docs` — expect `<link rel="alternate"
type="text/markdown" href="/llms-full.txt">`
- [x] View source on a docs guide page (e.g., `/docs/guides/auth`) —
expect per-guide `.md` alternate; reference/troubleshooting pages should
NOT emit a markdown alternate
- [x] `curl -I https://<preview>/auth.md` — expect
`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
- [x] `curl -I -L -H 'Accept: text/markdown' https://<preview>/auth/` —
should resolve to markdown content (trailing-slash normalization, with
Vercel's auto-redirect)

## Linear

- fixes GROWTH-760

## Follow-up (separate PR)

GROWTH-760 also asks about extending `.md` to blog/customers/events.
Different mechanism (path-prefix middleware, MDX read at request time
via `gray-matter`) so it deserves its own review. Will open a follow-up
PR after this lands.

Sean Oliver b041ebfaa5 feat(www): Phase 2 — enable cookie stamping on /dashboard and /docs paths (#43677) 2026-03-12 15:23:07 -07:00
Sean Oliver 8ebbad3a5b feat(growth): expand www middleware to /dashboard and /docs (Phase 1 - instrumentation only) (#43413)
## Problem

The `_sb_first_referrer` cookie isn't working. The www middleware
matcher explicitly excludes `/dashboard` and `/docs`, so the cookie
never gets stamped for Studio or Docs traffic. PostHog confirmed: only 1
event with `first_referrer_cookie_present=true` out of ~46.5M Studio
pageviews in the last 7 days.

## Background: what the matcher does

In Next.js, the `matcher` config controls which incoming requests the
middleware function even runs on. If a path doesn't match, the
middleware is skipped entirely — the request passes through untouched.
If it matches, the middleware runs and can mutate the response (set
cookies, headers, etc.).

This matters because Studio's SPA navigation works via silent
`/_next/data/` JSON fetches. If middleware runs on those requests and
returns `NextResponse.next()` with any mutations, it breaks those
fetches and causes full page reloads instead of client-side transitions.

## What we tried before

| PR | www runs on `/dashboard`? | Studio `proxy.ts` runs on all routes?
| Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| **#42768** (Attempt 1) | ✅ Yes — and also intercepts `_next/data` | ✅
Yes — `matcher` config removed, stamps cookie everywhere | Full page
reloads in Studio |
| **#43129** (Full revert) | ❌ No — www middleware deleted entirely | ❌
No — restored to `matcher: '/api/*'` only | Back to baseline, no cookie
stamping anywhere |
| **#43153** (Attempt 2) | ❌ No — `/dashboard` explicitly excluded | ✅
Yes — `matcher` config removed again, stamps cookie everywhere | Full
page reloads in Studio again |
| **#43189** (Attempt 3) | ❌ No — same as #43153 | ✅ Yes — `matcher`
config still removed, cookie stamping made conditional | Still broken |
| **#43190** (Ivan's fix) | ❌ No — `/dashboard` still excluded | ❌ No —
restored to `matcher: '/api/*'` only | Works — but cookie never stamps
for `/dashboard` traffic |
| **#43413** (this PR) | ✅ Yes — sets diagnostic cookie only, no
attribution stamping yet | ❌ No — unchanged, still `matcher: '/api/*'`
only | ❓ Untested in prod |

The common factor in every failure: Studio's `proxy.ts` ran on all
routes (including `_next/data` requests), which broke SPA navigation.
This PR is the first one that runs www middleware on `/dashboard` while
Studio's `proxy.ts` stays in its original narrow `/api/*` scope.

## What changed

This is Phase 1 of a two-phase rollout. We remove `dashboard|docs` from
the matcher's negative lookahead so www middleware runs on those paths —
but instead of stamping cookies, we set a short-lived (60s) diagnostic
cookie `_sb_mw_diag` on `/dashboard` and `/docs` requests.

The diagnostic cookie encodes
`hit=1&would_stamp={0|1}&has_cookie={0|1}`, which Studio telemetry reads
on the initial pageview and reports to PostHog as `mw_diag_hit`,
`mw_diag_would_stamp`, and `mw_diag_has_existing_cookie` properties.

A cookie rather than a header because response headers aren't readable
by JS. It also tests the actual Set-Cookie mutation path that Phase 2
will use (which is what Next.js issue #41885 is specifically about).

Phase 1 answers two key questions before we commit to Phase 2:
1. Does expanding the matcher break Studio SPA navigation?
2. What % of /dashboard arrivals would get a first-referrer cookie
stamped in Phase 2?

## Phase 2 readiness criteria

**Important caveat**: `mw_diag_*` data reflects consented users only and
may under-represent first-visit anonymous traffic. The Phase 2 decision
should account for this — the actual middleware execution rate is likely
higher than what PostHog reports.

### PostHog query spec

**Middleware execution rate**: Of all Studio initial pageviews on
`/dashboard` or `/docs` paths, what percentage have `mw_diag_hit =
true`? Expected: >= 90%. Below 70% warrants investigation (could
indicate edge caching bypassing middleware, or a matcher configuration
issue).

```
Filter: event = "$pageview" AND (current_url contains "/dashboard" OR current_url contains "/docs")
Breakdown: mw_diag_hit (true vs null/missing)
Metric:    count(mw_diag_hit = true) / count(all) * 100
```

**Would-stamp rate**: Of events with `mw_diag_hit = true`, what
percentage have `mw_diag_would_stamp = true`? This tells us what
percentage of Phase 2 traffic would actually get a cookie stamped. No
hard threshold — unexpected values (< 5% or > 95%) suggest a logic bug
worth investigating before Phase 2.

```
Filter: event = "$pageview" AND mw_diag_hit = true
Breakdown: mw_diag_would_stamp (true vs false)
Metric:    count(mw_diag_would_stamp = true) / count(all) * 100
```

**Existing cookie rate**: Of events with `mw_diag_hit = true`, what
percentage have `mw_diag_has_existing_cookie = true`? This tells us how
many users already have the cookie from a prior www visit.

```
Filter: event = "$pageview" AND mw_diag_hit = true
Breakdown: mw_diag_has_existing_cookie (true vs false)
Metric:    count(mw_diag_has_existing_cookie = true) / count(all) * 100
```

### Go / no-go threshold table

| Signal | Go | Investigate | No-Go |
|---|---|---|---|
| `mw_diag_hit` rate (% of /dashboard+/docs pageviews) | >= 90% | 70-90%
| < 70% |
| SPA navigation errors (Sentry / Vercel logs) | No increase | < 0.1%
increase | > 0.5% increase |
| Middleware p99 latency (Vercel function logs) | < 50ms added |
50-100ms | > 100ms |
| Sample volume in first 24h | > 1,000 events | 100-1,000 (extend
window) | < 100 (insufficient data) |

## Changes

- `apps/www/middleware.ts`: Removed `dashboard|docs` from matcher; added
`isDashboardOrDocs` guard that sets `_sb_mw_diag` diagnostic cookie
instead of stamping attribution
- `apps/www/middleware.test.ts`: 12 tests covering cookie stamping on
www paths, diagnostic cookie encoding for all scenarios (external
referrer, direct nav, internal referrer, existing cookie)
- `packages/common/first-referrer-cookie.ts`: Exported
`MW_DIAG_COOKIE_NAME`, `MwDiagData` type, and `parseMwDiagCookie()`
helper
- `packages/common/telemetry.tsx`: Reads `_sb_mw_diag` on initial Studio
pageview; reports `mw_diag_*` properties to PostHog

## Testing

Unit tests pass (13/13 www, 31/31 first-referrer-cookie). Production
validation needed:

- [ ] Studio SPA navigation works (tab changes, SQL editor, no full page
reloads)
- [ ] PostHog shows `mw_diag_hit = true` on Studio initial pageviews
- [ ] `mw_diag_would_stamp` distribution looks reasonable before
enabling Phase 2
- [ ] Monitor 24h before Phase 2
