bf60e6cdce feat(library): serve agent-readable markdown for each docs page (#49567)
## 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: agent-readable markdown pages for the UI library docs.

## What is the current behavior?

Library docs are HTML-only. `llms.txt` lists page titles, but there is
no `.md` body an agent can fetch.

## What is the new behavior?

Each docs page is also served as markdown:

- Build-time MDX → markdown (`pnpm --filter library build:markdown`)
- `GET /library/docs/{slug}.md` (and `Accept: text/markdown`)
- HTML pages advertise `rel=alternate` `text/markdown`
- `llms.txt` links to the `.md` URLs

This is the base of a stack. The prompt-tab PR sits on top:
https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/49566

## Additional context

Interactive previews are omitted from the markdown. `BlockItem` emits
the production `npx shadcn add` command so agents still get an install
path.

## To test

1. `pnpm --filter library dev` (generates markdown in `predev`).
2. Open http://localhost:3004/library/docs/nextjs/password-based-auth.md
— markdown with the install command, file tree, and setup steps; no
interactive previews.
3. Open the same path without `.md` — HTML docs unchanged (no prompt tab
in this PR).
4. `curl -H 'Accept: text/markdown'
http://localhost:3004/library/docs/nextjs/password-based-auth` should
also return markdown.
5. http://localhost:3004/library/llms.txt — links should end in `.md`.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Documentation pages are available as Markdown through `.md` URLs and a
dedicated endpoint.

builds.
* Generated content preserves front matter, links, callouts,
installation instructions, and supported documentation elements.
* Installation commands support npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun for React and
Vue projects.

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.
  • Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.

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.
