Ivan VasilovandClaude Opus 4.8 369744eb2b chore: replace concurrently with npm-run-all in docs and design-system (#47697)
## 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?

Chore / dependency cleanup.

## What is the current behavior?

`apps/docs` and `apps/design-system` use the `concurrently` package to
run their parallel dev scripts, while the rest of the monorepo (e.g.
`packages/pg-meta`) already relies on `npm-run-all`.

## What is the new behavior?

Both apps now use `npm-run-all` (`run-p`), and `concurrently` is dropped
from their dependencies and the lockfile; `apps/docs` keeps its
kill-on-exit behavior via `run-p --race`, and `apps/design-system`'s
`dev:full` is collapsed into `dev` using the `run-p dev:*` glob (with
`dev:next`/`dev:content` sub-tasks and README updated to match).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Updated design system setup instructions to reflect the new
development workflow and MDX watching behavior.
* **Chores**
* Simplified local development scripts for the design system and docs
apps.
* Split the dev workflow into separate commands for the app server and
content watcher, making it easier to run and troubleshoot.

# Supabase Design System
Design resources for building consistent user experiences at Supabase.
## Getting started
First, make a copy of _.env.local.example_ and name it _env.local_. Then install any required packages and start the development server:
```bash
cd apps/design-system
pnpm i
pnpm dev
```
The `dev` command runs both the Next.js development server and Contentlayer concurrently, which is recommended for most development workflows.
### Alternative commands
You can also run the development server and content watcher separately:
```bash
# Run only the Next.js development server
pnpm dev:next
# Run only the content watcher (in a separate terminal shell)
pnpm dev:content
```
Or run the development server from the root directory:
```bash
pnpm dev:design-system
```
To run both the development server and content watcher from the root directory, you can use:
```bash
# Run the development server
pnpm dev:design-system
# Run the content watcher (in a separate terminal shell)
pnpm --filter=design-system dev:content
```
Open [http://localhost:3003](http://localhost:3003) in your browser to see the result.
### Watching for MDX changes
The `dev` command automatically watches for changes to MDX files with hot reload. If you're running the `pnpm dev:next` separately, you'll need to run `pnpm dev:content` in a separate terminal shell to watch for content changes.
### Adding components
The design system _references_ components rather than housing them. That’s an important distinction to make, as everything that follows here is about the documentation of components. You can add or edit components in one of these two places:
- [`packages/ui`](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/packages/ui): basic UI components
- [`packages/ui-patterns`](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/packages/ui-patterns): components which are built using NPM libraries or amalgamations of components from `patterns/ui`
There are several parts of this design system that need to be manually updated after components have been added or removed (from documentation). These include:
- `config/docs.ts`: list of components in the sidebar
- `content/docs`: the actual component documentation
- `registry/examples.ts`: list of example components
- `registry/fragments.ts`: list of fragment components
- `registry/charts.ts`: list of chart components
- `registry/default/example/*`: the actual example components
You will need to rebuild the design system’s registry after making new additions:
```bash
cd apps/design-system
pnpm build:registry
```
