19d7233580 feat(ui-library): add headless app block for TanStack Start (#49579)
## 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 — a new UI Library block. Stacked on #49573 (already in main)

Fixes AI-1064

## What is the new behavior?

Adds `headless-app-tanstack`: customers sign in, authorize an MCP
client, and use the product through agent tool calls. It composes the
existing Password-Based Auth, OAuth Consent, and MCP Server blocks.

- `/agents` provides a copyable connection prompt, lists OAuth
authorizations, and lets customers revoke access.
- The shared MCP runtime exposes `whoami` plus example task CRUD tools.
Tools use the caller's Supabase client, with database grants and RLS
enforcing ownership.
- A root-level `supabase/` directory supplies local Auth/OAuth
configuration, a declarative tasks schema, and Edge Function files,
including `.env.example`.
- Docs cover local setup, signing keys, migrations, environment
configuration, deployment, and extending the tools.
`/example/headless-app` previews the sign-in, consent, connect, and
connected states.

Shared block fixes make a fresh install work:

- Explicit public URL resolution fixes OAuth discovery in local Edge
Runtime when middleware runtime detection fails. Both external OAuth
access tokens and ordinary authenticated app session tokens remain
supported; embedded agents do not need an additional consent flow.
- Registry targets keep backend files outside `src/`, and generated
consumer routes omit source-only TypeScript suppressions.
- Signup respects `auth.email.enable_confirmations`; sign-in/signup
preserve the return destination. Missing consent IDs retain the existing
error state without serializing `null` into the URL.

## How to test

Use the UI Library on **staging** and follow the block pages'
instructions.

1. Open the **Headless App** block page for TanStack Start. Install it
into a fresh app and follow the setup instructions through connecting an
MCP client.
2. Sign up, open `/agents`, and use the connection prompt to authorize a
client. Call `whoami`, then create, list, update, and delete a task.
3. Confirm the client appears on `/agents`. Revoke access and verify it
disappears and token refresh fails. An existing access token can
continue working until it expires.
4. Follow the **MCP Server** block page's embedded-agent instructions
using an authenticated app session. Confirm tools work without another
OAuth consent flow and `whoami` returns `client_id: null`.
5. With a second user, confirm each user can only access their own
tasks. Check that signup behaves correctly for the configured
email-confirmation setting.
6. Check the Headless App preview states and run the installed app's
typecheck and production build.

## Validation performed

Fresh local installation and browser/SDK verification passed: 26 live
MCP/Data API checks, 10 Deno tests, and 7 connection-page component
tests. Also passed UI Library typecheck, targeted lint,
registry/Markdown builds, and fresh consumer typecheck/production build.
Both OAuth and ordinary app session authentication were exercised.

Hosted deployment and consuming the confirmation-email link were not
tested.

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
