Danny White b03448ec59 docs(pipelines): improve Snowflake setup guidance (#50715)
## Problem

The Snowflake guide leaves several setup details open to interpretation,
particularly how roles are used and which RSA key content belongs in
Snowflake versus the Dashboard.

This PR is stacked on #50751 so the documented role location,
private-key upload, and **Start pipeline** action match the updated
creation sheet. The full stack starts with #50708, which moves the guide
to its nested Pipelines path.

## Solution

Clarifies the setup sequence, explains the default and optional role
behaviour, distinguishes `rsa_key.pub` from `rsa_key.p8`, and makes the
destination field guidance more direct.

## To test

- [Snowflake
guide](https://docs-git-dnywh-docsimprove-snowflake-setup-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/replication/pipelines/snowflake)

## Review instructions

1. Read the setup path from **Prepare Snowflake resources** through
**Configure Snowflake as a destination**.
2. Confirm the role guidance explains what happens when the Dashboard
field is empty.
3. Confirm it is clear which key file is registered in Snowflake and
which file is pasted or uploaded in the Dashboard.

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.
