7f0d71cdb1 fix(docs): restore bold weight in .prose body text (#47647)
## 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?

Bug fix.

## What is the current behavior?

In the docs site, **bold** text inside `.prose` content no longer
renders as bold — it is indistinguishable from normal body text in light
mode, and only a faint step heavier in dark mode.

Root cause: the recent font work added a docs-only rule in
`apps/docs/styles/globals.css`:

```css
.prose :where(p, a, code, pre):not(...),
.prose :where(ol > li):not(...)::marker {
  font-weight: inherit;
}
```

This makes prose body text inherit the page base weight set on `html`
(`font-weight: 500` in light, `450` in dark). But the shared typography
config (`packages/config/typography.config.js`) defines `strong: {
fontWeight: '500' }`. So:

- **Light mode:** body copy is now `500` and `<strong>` is also `500` →
bold is visually identical to normal text.
- **Dark mode:** body copy is `450` vs `<strong>` `500` → barely
perceptible.

This is docs-specific: the other apps (`www`, etc.) never added the
`font-weight: inherit` override, so their prose body stays at `400` and
`strong: 500` still reads as bold. Changing the shared config would
over-bolden those apps, so the fix is scoped to the docs stylesheet.

## What is the new behavior?

Adds a docs-scoped override keeping bold text clearly heavier than the
inherited body weight:

```css
.prose :where(strong, b):not(:where([class~='not-prose'], [class~='not-prose'] *)) {
  font-weight: 600;
}
```

`<strong>`/`<b>` now render at `600`, giving clear contrast against the
`500`/`450` body weight in both light and dark modes, and matching the
semibold weight used by prose headings. The other apps are untouched.

## Additional context

- Single-file change in `apps/docs/styles/globals.css`.
- Uses the same `:where(... :not(.not-prose) ...)` pattern as the
surrounding prose rules to preserve `not-prose` opt-outs and keep
zero-specificity behavior.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved documentation typography so emphasized (bold) text is more
clearly distinguishable from regular body copy.
* Added a targeted prose styling override for `strong`/`b` to ensure
consistent bold weight, while preserving sections that opt out of prose
styling.
