32d1bdd534 fix(studio): reduce doc link density in auth email template builder (#47250)
## I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

- Studio UI update (auth email template builder)
- Docs update (hosted email templates guide + local dev cross-link)

Closes DOCS-1086.

## What is the current behavior?

- Linear item: Reduce link density in the template builder UI
- Page header shows a **Terminology** link and **Docs** button (local
development guide)
- Template variables footer shows **Terminology** · **Local
development**
- Local development editing is only mentioned in one sentence on the
hosted docs page; easy to miss once Studio no longer links there
directly

## What is the new behavior?

- Page header: **Docs** button only →
`/guides/auth/auth-email-templates`
- Template variables: single **Terminology** link → `#terminology`
(variable pills still have hover tooltips)
- Hosted docs: **Editing email templates** split into hosted vs
local/self-hosted, with a callout linking to the local development guide
- Local dev guide: opening paragraph links back to the hosted guide for
shared terminology and patterns

### Proof: Template builder has fewer outbound doc links

| Before | After |
|--------|-------|
| Header Terminology + Docs (local dev guide); footer Terminology ·
Local development <img width="1440" height="1100" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3325f43b-5830-4b85-ba56-2ba4c5b04bcd"
/> | Docs button only (hosted guide); single Terminology link above
variables <img width="1440" height="1100" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/90c8cfff-89bd-46d5-b336-2f9dd50d37e3"
/> |

**Before (`origin/master`)**

- Header: **Terminology** link + **Docs** button → local development
guide
- Template variables: **Terminology** · **Local development**

**After (this PR)**

- Header: **Docs** button only → [Email
templates](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1086-reduce-link-densi-bf6705-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/auth-email-templates)
(preview)
- Template variables: single **Terminology** link →
[Terminology](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth/auth-email-templates#terminology)
- Local development path documented at [Editing email
templates](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1086-reduce-link-densi-bf6705-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/auth-email-templates#editing-email-templates)
(preview; replacing the in-builder Local development link)

**Capture notes:** Content-area screenshots were captured locally from
component markup because the template editor body requires platform auth
config in self-hosted Studio. Local files: worktree
`.pr-screenshots/template-builder-links-{before,after}.png`.

### Proof: Docs clarify local development path

**Verified:** Vercel docs preview (pass) · `supa-mdx-lint` (pass)

## Additional context

### Test plan

- [ ] Open **Authentication → Emails → Confirm sign up** on a hosted
project
- [ ] Confirm header has **Docs** only (no Terminology link)
- [ ] Confirm **Docs** opens `/docs/guides/auth/auth-email-templates`
- [ ] In source view, confirm template variables show one
**Terminology** link (no Local development)
- [ ] Hover variable pills — tooltips still explain each placeholder
- [ ] Compare [production Editing email
templates](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth/auth-email-templates#editing-email-templates)
vs
[preview](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1086-reduce-link-densi-bf6705-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/auth-email-templates#editing-email-templates)
— hosted vs local/self-hosted sections and local dev callout are clear
- [ ] Compare [production Customizing email
templates](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/local-development/customizing-email-templates)
vs
[preview](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1086-reduce-link-densi-bf6705-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/local-development/customizing-email-templates)
— intro links back to hosted email templates guide

Community & Support

  • Community Forum. Best for: help with building, discussion about database best practices.
  • GitHub Issues. Best for: bugs and errors you encounter using Supabase.
  • Email Support. Best for: problems with your database or infrastructure.
  • Discord. Best for: sharing your applications and hanging out with the community.

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.
  • Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.

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.
