6ecf98671a docs(platform): add Platform Webhooks guide and event catalog (#51098)
## Problem

Platform Webhooks (org- and project-level event notifications over the
Management API) has no public documentation. CTRL-1017 asks for a docs
page plus a specification of the available event types, so partners can
integrate without reading the OpenAPI spec or asking engineering
directly.

Closes CTRL-1017.

## Solution

**New guide covering the Management API path, plus an event catalog.**

Adds `apps/docs/content/guides/platform/webhooks.mdx`: concepts and
scoping, creating an endpoint, Standard Webhooks signature verification
and secret rotation, test events, and delivery/retry/ordering behavior.

Adds `apps/docs/content/guides/platform/webhooks/events.mdx`: the events
reference.

- Full payload documentation for the 8 project-lifecycle event types,
and a name-and-trigger table for the 12 branch, member, and billing
types whose payload fields aren't documented.
- Documents `*` for subscribing to every event.
- Access framing states the criterion: available to organizations on an
early access allowlist, with the `403` / `access_disabled` response for
everyone else.
- Nav entry under Platform > Project & Account Management, after
Personal Access Tokens, gated by `fullPlatformEnabled`.

**The page deliberately omits the dashboard UI.** See the first row of
the table below.

## Needs review before merge

| **The Studio webhooks UI is not wired to the API, so this page
documents the Management API only** | `PlatformWebhooksPage.tsx:29`
imports `PLATFORM_WEBHOOKS_MOCK_DATA`; `PlatformWebhooks.store.ts` has
no async or network code and hardcodes `createdBy:
'mock-user@supabase.io'`; nothing in `apps/studio` references
`webhooks/endpoints` or `webhooks/deliveries`, even though
`api-types/types/api-v2.d.ts` carries those paths 24 times. #43276
(DEPR-340) described it as "UI-only (with mock data)", and the
`DEPR-340-backend-integration-tracker.md` it pointed to is no longer in
the tree. A dashboard section can be added once the UI calls the API. |
| Possible reference slug collision | Project- and org-scoped operations
share identical `summary` values (both "Create endpoint", both "List
endpoints"). The page links to the reference introduction and names the
**Project webhooks** / **Organization webhooks** tags rather than
deep-linking a generated page. |

## Preview links

**Verified:** the new page returns 200 on the preview; the same path
returns 404 on production, confirming net-new content; the nav entry
renders on the preview build.

## Review instructions

1. Open the [PR
preview](https://docs-git-nikrichers-ctrl-1017-set-up-public-doc-fa3960-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/platform/webhooks)
and confirm the page renders as shown.
2. Confirm **Platform Webhooks** appears under **Platform > Project &
Account Management** in the sidebar, after **Personal Access Tokens**.
3. Confirm the five internal-guide values in the second row of the
needs-review table.
4. Decide with the Control Plane team whether the Studio UI ships wired
to the API, which determines when a dashboard section gets added: Studio
UI is slated for Q4, so it will not be shipped together.

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.

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.

Contributing

To contribute to docs, see the style guide for how to write a page, and the developers' guide and contributing guide for repo mechanics. If you write with an AI coding agent, use the /write-the-docs skill to draft and /edit-the-docs to revise an existing page.
