Hieu 4822687a64 fix: resolve mgmt api specs $refs manually to handle circular error (#48281)
## I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Bug fix.

## What is the current behavior?
`api_v2_openapi.json` has a circular reference (`APIErrorObject.issues`
→ `APIErrorObject`), which Redocly can't flatten with `--dereferenced`
("Detected circular reference which can't be converted to JSON"). This
breaks the [weekly docs update
workflow](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/actions/runs/29709444085/job/88251269807).

## What is the new behavior?
- Drop `--dereferenced` from `dereference.api.v1` (both v1 and v2, for
consistency)
- Add a `resolveRefs` helper in `Reference.script.ts` that manually
inlines `$refs`, leaving cycles as an unresolved `$ref` instead of
expanding infinitely
- This also fix the mgmt api update workflow so manual dispatch runs
against the selected branch, by changing checkout `ref` from hardcoded
`master` to `${{ github.ref }}`.

## Additional context
Also fixes `pnpm exec redocly` → `npx --package=@redocly/cli redocly` in
the same Makefile, an unrelated pnpm 11 recursive-exec bug hit while
debugging this workflow.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Chores**

current Redocly CLI invocation style.
* Improved documentation processing behavior for dereferenced specs,
including guidance around circular references.
* Preserved existing generated specification outputs and validation
settings.

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.
