Miranda Limonczenko abbf667084 fix(docs) Resolve local link paths caused that have redirects (#48453)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## Problem

The Docs E2E link checker found broken links throughout docs, starting
with `phone-login.mdx` pointing to `/docs/guides/cli/config` (404).

Old links like `/docs/guides/cli/config` still work on the live site
because `supabase.com` has redirects set up for them, but these links
break on the docs preview site, which is what the E2E check tests
against. These issues look clean on the live site, and I didn't catch
them in my first pass because I was testing production instead of the
preview.

The E2E check only tests the ~20 pages a given PR happens to touch, so
fixing the pages it flagged kept exposing more of the same problem one
page at a time as each fix pulled in a new file. To stop chasing this
incrementally, I cross-referenced every `/docs/guides/*` and
`/docs/reference/*` redirect source in `apps/www/lib/redirects.js`
against actual usage across all of `apps/docs`, and verified each
candidate against the live preview.

## Solution

Rather than updating the Docs E2E link checker, this PR resolves the
links. **Why:** we own these docs, so keeping the links clean without
redirects is keeping the house maintained. See [Broken Window
Theory](https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-broken-window-theory/).

Updated every link still using an old path to point straight at the
current page instead of relying on a redirect. This covers old links
like:

- `/docs/guides/cli/config` →
`/docs/guides/local-development/cli/config`
- `/docs/guides/cli/getting-started` →
`/docs/guides/local-development/cli/getting-started`
- `/docs/guides/cli/local-development` →
`/docs/guides/local-development/database-migrations`
- `/docs/guides/cli/managing-environments` →
`/docs/guides/deployment/managing-environments`
- `/docs/guides/cli/seeding-your-database` →
`/docs/guides/local-development/seeding-your-database`
- bare `/docs/guides/cli` → `/docs/guides/local-development`
- `/docs/guides/platform/compute-add-ons` →
`/docs/guides/platform/compute-and-disk`
- `/docs/guides/platform/shared-responsibility-model` →
`/docs/guides/deployment/shared-responsibility-model`
- `/docs/guides/database` → `/docs/guides/database/overview`
- `/docs/reference/javascript`, `/docs/reference/dart`,
`/docs/reference/kotlin`, `/docs/reference/python`,
`/docs/reference/csharp` → their `/introduction` pages (the redirect's
own destination, `/start`, turned out to be dead even on production — a
separate bug in `redirects.js` I didn't touch here)
- and about 35 more of the same pattern, listed in the commit messages

Also fixed a handful of dead heading anchors found along the way (links
that resolve to the right page but point at a `#section` that got
renamed or moved), including the original `#bigquery` anchor and a few
in `connecting-to-postgres.mdx` where content moved to its own dedicated
page.

Left alone on purpose:
- `content/guides/cli.mdx` — this page has no route in the docs app at
all (no `app/guides/cli/` directory), so it 404s even in production
before the `www` redirect ever fires. Fixing its internal link wouldn't
change that; it needs an actual routing/content decision, not a link
fix.
- A few candidates that already resolve fine as-is (`pg_partman`, bare
`/docs/reference/api`, bare `/docs/reference/cli`) — confirmed via curl,
left untouched.

## Manual testing

1. Confirmed every new link target actually exists by checking the
destination file/page and matching heading anchors.
2. Cross-referenced every `/docs/guides/*` and `/docs/reference/*`
redirect source in `apps/www/lib/redirects.js` against real usage in
`apps/docs`, and curl-verified each old path (404) and new path (200)
against the live PR preview before fixing it.
3. Ran the Docs E2E link checker locally against changed pages.
4. Spot-checked the original broken link from CI
(`/docs/guides/cli/config`) to confirm it now points to a working page.

You can freely transfer projects between different organizations. Head to your [projects' general settings](/dashboard/project/_/settings/general) to initiate a project transfer.

Source organization - the organization the project currently belongs to
Target organization - the organization you want to move the project to
## Pre-Requirements
- You need to be the owner of the source organization.
- You need to be at least a member of the target organization you want to move the project to.
- No active GitHub integration connection
- No project-scoped roles pointing to the project (Team/Enterprise plan)
- No log drains configured
## Usage-billing and project add-ons
For usage metrics such as disk size, egress or image transformations and project add-ons such as [Compute Add-On](/docs/guides/platform/compute-and-disk), [Point-In-Time-Recovery](/docs/guides/platform/backups#point-in-time-recovery), [IPv4](/docs/guides/platform/ipv4-address), [Log Drains](/docs/guides/telemetry/log-drains), [Advanced MFA](/docs/guides/auth/auth-mfa/phone) or a [Custom Domain](/docs/guides/platform/custom-domains), the source organization will still be charged for the usage up until the transfer. The charges will be added to the invoice when the billing cycle resets.
The target organization will be charged at the end of the billing cycle for usage after the project transfer.
## Things to watch out for
- Transferring a project might come with a short 1-2 minute downtime if you're moving a project from a paid to a Free Plan.
- You could lose access to certain project features depending on the plan of the target organization, i.e. moving a project from a Pro Plan to a Free Plan.
- When moving your project to a Free Plan, we also ensure you’re not exceeding your two free project limit. In these cases, it is best to upgrade your target organization to Pro Plan first.
- You could have less rights on the project depending on your role in the target organization, i.e. you were an Owner in the previous organization and only have a Read-Only role in the target organization.
## Transfer to a different region
Note that project transfers are only transferring your projects across an organization and cannot be used to transfer between different regions. To move your project to a different region, see [migrating your project](/docs/guides/platform/migrating-within-supabase).
