Charis 0791b04eb8 feat(sql-editor): roll out manual saving by default (#48706)
## 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?

Feature — progresses the SQL Editor manual saving rollout, and removes a
fully rolled out feature flag.

## What is the current behavior?

Manual saving (snippets save only on an explicit Save / Cmd+S rather
than autosaving every edit) is opt-in. It requires both the
`sqlEditorManualSave` ConfigCat flag and the user turning on the
"Disable snippet auto-saving" feature preview themselves. That flag is
now fully rolled out.

## What is the new behavior?

- `sqlEditorManualSave` is removed, so the feature preview is listed for
everyone. (Delete the flag in ConfigCat after a few months.)
- New `sqlEditorManualSaveForced` flag progresses the rollout. It forces
manual saving on regardless of what the user stored previously,
including an explicit opt-out, via a new `isForced` field on
`FeaturePreview` that `initializeFlags` resolves ahead of the
localStorage lookup — so the feature preview modal reflects the forced
state too, not just the save behavior. Turning the flag off reverts
everyone who never opted in, so it remains a working kill switch.
- Users the rollout switches over get a one-time dialog on their first
SQL Editor route, explaining that snippets no longer autosave. Dismissal
persists in `sql-editor-manual-save-notice-dismissed` (allowlisted, so
it survives sign-out).
- Users who opted into the preview themselves never see the dialog — it
records their dismissal up front instead, since the notice needs to
outlive the feature preview and once the preview is retired there's no
stored opt-in left to recognize them by.
- The preview keeps its switch so users who lose their local storage can
opt in early, but once the rollout reaches them the "Disable feature"
button is disabled with a tooltip explaining why.

### To test

Turn on `sqlEditorManualSaveForced` on via the dev toolbar.

- No `supabase-ui-sql-editor-manual-save` and no dismissal key → dialog
appears on `/project/<ref>/sql`, toolbar shows the Save button. Dismiss,
reload → no dialog.
- `supabase-ui-sql-editor-manual-save` set to `false` (previously opted
out) → still forced onto manual saving, and still gets the dialog.
- `supabase-ui-sql-editor-manual-save` set to `true` → no dialog, and
the dismissal key is written automatically.
- Flag off, no opt-in → autosave, no dialog, and the "Disable autosave"
power-off button still opens the preview modal.
- Preview modal while forced → "Disable feature" is disabled with a
tooltip; another preview (e.g. Column-level privileges) still disables
normally.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
