19e6e17257 docs(access-control): footnote first-branch admin requirement for git flow (#46473)
## 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?

The access-control permissions matrix shows Developer-role users can
create development branches, but doesn't mention the implicit
production-branch registration step that runs on the first "Create
branch" click for a gitless project — which is
Owner/Administrator only. Customers reading the matrix conclude
Developers can branch from the start; in reality, an
Owner/Administrator has to perform the first branch creation to register
the production branch.

  ## What is the new behavior?

Adds a footnote on the "Development Branches → Create" row that flags
the one-time first-branch admin requirement and links to the
dashboard branching guide for the full explanation. Short cross-link
only — long-form mechanism explanation lives on the dashboard
  branching guide (companion PR #46471).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Clarified branching permissions for dashboard (gitless) workflows: the
first branch creation (one-time) without a GitHub integration requires
Owner or Administrator to register the production branch; after that
initial step, Developers may create, update, and delete branches as
normal.
