59c8ea3ddc docs(BRA-282): clarify that branches are created as clones of the base project (#49594)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update.


## What is the new behavior?

The branching docs now state consistently that every branch, preview or
persistent, is created as a clone of the base project, starting with
that project's schema, Edge Functions, and configuration. Data and
storage objects are not cloned by default.

## Additional context

This documents new branch-creation behavior. Two automated reviewers
flagged the clone wording and argued for a migration-replay description;
that reflects the previous implementation, so their findings don't apply
here and the clone framing stands.

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.
