* feat (content api): add top-level schema query
Adds a top-level schema query that returns the stringified GraphQL
schema for this endpoint. Useful for LLMs to access the stringified
schema for prompting and tool calls.
Query shape:
```
query Search {
schema
}
```
Query response:
```
{
"data": {
"schema": "schema {\n query: RootQueryType\n}\n\ntype RootQueryType
{\n \"\"\"Get the GraphQL schema for this endpoint\"\"\"\n schema:
String\n}"
}
}
```

* test (content api): add schema snapshot
Add schema snapshot test to prevent unintentional changes to public API
for this endpoint
* fixup! feat (content api): add top-level schema query
* fix (content api): local dev introspection
The validation rules that are used for security in production are
preventing GraphiQL from introspecting the schema in dev. Since this DX
feature is incredibly useful, I'm turning off the complexity and depth
validations for dev GraphiQL only. Local curls, etc., will still have
production-standard validation so it can be tested locally.

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
Versioning
All tools have versioned docs, which are kept in separate folders. For example, the CLI has the following folders and files:
cli: the "next" release.cli_spec: contains the DocSpec for the "next" release (see below).cli_versioned_docs: a version of the documentation for every release (including the most current version).cli_versioned_sidebars: a version of the sidebar for every release (including the most current version).
When you release a new version of a tool, you should also release a new version of the docs. You can do this via the command line. For example, if you just released the CLI version 1.0.1:
npm run cli:version 1.0.1
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
