e357ec8f9f docs(cli): update local development workflow docs for pg-delta default diffing (#49280)
## 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?

Docs update.

## What is the current behavior?

Linear:
[CLI-1618](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/CLI-1618/update-cli-workflow-docs-for-pg-delta-default-diffing)

Four docs pages lag the shipped CLI behavior now that `pg-delta` is the
default diff engine for projects created by a recent `supabase init`:

- **CLI workflows** claims `db diff` compares `supabase/schemas/`
against migrations. Under `pg-delta`, declarative files are never the
`db diff` baseline (and `[db.migrations].schema_paths` no longer changes
it) — the declarative flow goes through `supabase db schema declarative
sync`. The cleanup guidance describes `migra`-era output.
- **Declarative database schemas** teaches the old `db diff -f` +
`schema_paths` flow throughout, and its known-caveats list is the
`migra` issue list.
- **Managing environments** still presents `--use-migra` as an
"experimental flag" for a "more concise" diff — inverted now.
- **Backup and restore (migrating within Supabase)** and the CLI
workflows guide both steer users to `db diff`/`db pull` with `--schema
auth,storage`. Under `pg-delta`, `--schema` layers an extra exclude
policy on top of the Supabase profile: it can only narrow a diff, never
re-include managed schemas, and managed-schema selections can even fail
closed (e.g. `--schema auth` when a trigger function lives in `public`).
Unfiltered diffs are the supported path.

## What is the new behavior?

All claims verified against the CLI source at current `develop` —
including supabase/cli#6300, which upgraded the engine to
`@supabase/pg-delta` 1.0.0-alpha.46 — against the pinned pg-delta
package source (profile rules, format defaults, coverage doc), and
against a live dogfood run of the documented workflows on `develop`
`38f31b4` (two OSS corpus projects, warm shadow cache).

- **`cli-workflows.mdx`**: adds a "Which diff engine you're on" note
(`pg-delta` for new `supabase init` projects, `migra` for existing ones
until they opt in by adding `[experimental.pgdelta] enabled = true`;
per-run fallbacks `--use-migra` on `db diff` / `--diff-engine migra` on
`db pull`); corrects `db pull` and `db diff` mechanics (shadow built
from migrations vs. live database; the baseline history record is
offered, not unconditional); switches the declarative flow to `supabase
db schema declarative sync`; reworks the cleanup section around pg-delta
output (uppercase keywords at max width 180, `format_options`, per-unit
migration files with numeric segment suffixes, the `-- pg-delta:
transaction=false` directive on genuinely non-transactional files,
engine-neutral grant/revoke review guidance, coverage warnings +
`--strict-coverage`); documents what pg-delta captures in managed
schemas (user triggers, RLS policies on `auth` tables and on
`storage.objects`/`storage.buckets`/`realtime.messages`) versus what it
doesn't; adds key-command rows for the declarative commands and
troubleshooting entries (`db pull` non-zero exit when in sync, the
`schema_paths` warning, `PGDELTA_DEBUG=1` bundles under
`supabase/.temp/pgdelta/v2/debug/`).
- **`declarative-database-schemas.mdx`**: swaps `db diff -f` for `db
schema declarative sync -f` throughout; replaces
lexicographic/`schema_paths` ordering guidance with automatic dependency
ordering and the `generate` export layout (`_cluster/`, reserved
`_custom/`); bootstraps from production via `db schema declarative
generate --linked` (explicit target + `--overwrite` in scripts) and
refreshes via `db pull --declarative`; rewrites known caveats for
pg-delta (DML including storage buckets, untracked object kinds + the
`_custom/` escape hatch, managed schemas, extension-managed objects, and
the two gates when adopting an existing schema tree:
`[experimental.webhooks]` for `pg_net` migrations and declaring the
tree's extensions) keeping the `migra` workflow and issue list under a
legacy section for projects that haven't enabled it.
- **`managing-environments.mdx`**: frames the verbose grant sample as
legacy-engine output, notes that generated migrations can include grant
statements on any engine, describes `--use-migra` as a single-run
fallback, and adds a `db diff --strict-coverage` CI step.
- **`backup-restore.mdx`**: replaces `db diff --linked --schema
auth,storage` with a plain `db diff --linked` on `pg-delta` (keeping the
`--schema auth,storage` form for the legacy engine) and explains what
the engine includes (user triggers on managed tables, user RLS policies
on `auth`, `storage.objects`/`storage.buckets`/`realtime.messages`) and
what must be recreated manually.
- **New `diff-engines.mdx` page** (from #49889): the single home for how
the engine is selected, a behavior matrix for `pg-delta` versus `migra`,
the per-command fallback flags, a procedure for switching an existing
project (the first `db pull` after enabling may write a catch-up
migration), and how to go back with `enabled = false`. Registered in
navigation. A shared `diff_engine_check` partial replaces the inline
engine parentheticals across seven pages, and a
`managed_schemas_diff_capture` partial carries the managed-schema
capture rules.
- **CLI reference (`cli_v1_commands.yaml`, `cli_v1_config.yaml`)**: `db
pull`, `db schema declarative sync`/`generate` flags and descriptions,
`experimental.pgdelta.*` and `db.migrations.schema_paths` config keys,
and the `db diff` description updated to describe both engines. Note
that `cli_v1_commands.yaml` is generated from the CLI repo;
[supabase/cli#6557](https://github.com/supabase/cli/pull/6557) carries
the matching `db pull` example and overlay text so the next publish
keeps it.
- **`examples/prompts/declarative-database-schema.md`**: rewritten for
the `db schema declarative sync` flow, with the `[experimental.pgdelta]`
prerequisite.

## Additional context

The first draft was written against pg-delta 1.0.0-alpha.42.
supabase/cli#6300 (engine upgrade to alpha.46) then changed two
documented behaviors, both reflected here: generated SQL now defaults to
uppercase pretty-printed keywords, and user RLS policies on
`storage.objects`/`storage.buckets`/`realtime.messages` are included via
the engine's `SUPABASE_USER_POLICY_SURFACES` allowlist. A follow-up
dogfood run on `develop` `38f31b4` then falsified three more claims
(pg-delta emits no grant noise, `_schema_changes`/`_after_enum_values`
multi-file names, directive on every split file), all corrected in the
last commit.

**Update (Sep 14 to 17):**
[#49889](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/49889) and
[#50220](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/50220) were merged
into this branch, so this PR now carries the full stack. #50220
corrected the `schema_paths` warning wording (the CLI warns only when
the setting lists paths), added `auth` RLS policies to the
managed-schema partial, and described the migra initial pull accurately
(the `pg_dump` skips managed schemas and the migra diff pass that
follows appends the trigger and policy changes). It also reframed
`pg-delta` as the default for every project ahead of supabase/cli#6391.
That plan changed: no breaking default flip before Select, so
[#50332](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/50332) restores the
opt-in framing (`pg-delta` requires `[experimental.pgdelta] enabled =
true`, which `supabase init` writes for new projects) and also resolves
the four CodeRabbit findings from the latest review round.

Two claims are pending confirmation from the owning teams: that
branching runs every migration in a transaction and ignores the `--
pg-delta: transaction=false` directive, and the `--db-url`
pooler-versus-direct connection advice, which currently disagrees with
the CLI's own `db pull` docs.

Stale spots found in the CLI repo's own docs while verifying (out of
scope here, worth follow-ups): four `SIDE_EFFECTS.md` files still claim
lowercase output, `docs/supabase/db/diff.md` still lists `migra`-era
"known failure cases" that alpha.46 fully models, the `supabase init`
template's commented `format_options` example shows `maxWidth: 80`
against an actual default of 180, and the CLI upgrade recipe appends
`--experimental` even when the config already enables pg-delta.

Miranda Limonczenko 0d465e7b5f chore(ui): Remove 'tip' from Admonition (#48419)
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 |

## 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)))
```
