**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

* 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
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.
Our environment variables are a bit of a mess, so cleaning them up:
- We have duplicate environment variables that resolve to the same thing
but just have different names, deduplicating all of these
- We have a .env.development (for publicly safe variables) and a
.env.example, we
really only need one
- Privately, we have a .env (for running scripts) and a .env.local (for
Next.js). Changing the dotenv source for scripts, so again we only need
one
Scripts currently use CJS, which is causing a bit of a mess when trying
to use shared utilities from the app. Converting everything to ESM so
there are fewer conflicts when adding new scripts going forward.
* feat: llms.txt
* feat: split llms.txt into multiple files
We have too many docs, so the concatenated text file uses an unreasonable amount of tokens. Chunk it up a little so it's more usable.
* Bump the version of turbo to 2.0.3.
* Fix the breaking changes in turbo config.
* Make the npm version more loose.
* Fix the build command for the database-design app.
* Try adding some env vars to the turbo for www.
* Add more missing env vars.
* Bump the turbo version to 2.0.4.
* Remove SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY from docs#build since it's used by other scripts, not by build.
Improve the way docs are indexed and FTS results are ranked, so results are more relevant.
Also improve debouncing and searching UX so it feels a bit faster and you can scan the results more easily.
