Pamela Chia d409836ca7 feat(www,docs): serve marketing pages as .md, advertise via link rel=alternate (#45277)
## Summary

Adds `/<page>.md` routes for 10 marketing/product pages (homepage, auth,
database, edge-functions, realtime, storage, vector, pricing,
modules/cron, modules/queues) so AI agents can fetch clean markdown
instead of parsing JS-rendered HTML. Also advertises the markdown
alternate via `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">` on marketing
and docs pages so agents can discover it.

Pricing is generated dynamically via `generatePricingContent()` (single
source of truth with `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt`); the other nine
slugs are bundled at build time from `content/md/*.md` into a
`MD_CONTENT` map.

Supersedes #44891 (rebased fresh off current master to avoid a 9-commit
replay over rename/rename conflicts created by #44897).

## Changes

- New `/api-v2/md/[...slug]` route handler returns the bundled markdown
(or dynamic pricing) with `Content-Type: text/markdown`,
`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, and appropriate cache headers
- Middleware rewrites `/<slug>.md` and `Accept: text/markdown` to the
API route for the `MD_PAGES` allowlist; trailing-slash variants
(`/auth/`) are normalized so they resolve the same as `/auth`
- Build-time codegen `scripts/generateMdContent.mjs` scans `content/md/`
and emits `app/api-v2/md/content.generated.ts` exporting both
`MD_CONTENT` (Map) and `MD_PAGES` (Set, incl. dynamic `pricing`). Fails
the build on slug collision between `content/md/` and `DYNAMIC_SLUGS`.
Adding a new marketing `.md` is just dropping a file in `content/md/`
(also update `PRODUCT_OVERVIEW_LINKS` in `/llms.txt` since that list is
editorial).
- 8 permanent redirects `/llms/<product>.txt` → `/<product>.md` so
legacy URLs in caches and downstream `llms.txt` copies keep working
- `/llms.txt` product overview now references `.md` URLs (incl.
`modules/cron`, `modules/queues`); `/llms-full.txt` iterates
`MD_CONTENT.values()` (homepage first, then alphabetical) and appends
dynamic pricing
- `/llms/[slug]` route slimmed to proxy SDK reference files (`js.txt`,
`dart.txt`, etc.) since redirects handle product slugs and pricing;
pricing branch retained as fallback in case redirects are bypassed
- `apps/www/pages/_app.tsx` injects the alternate link conditionally
based on `MD_PAGES`; `/pricing` (app router) sets it via page metadata
- `apps/docs/app/page.tsx` (the `/docs` root) sets the text/markdown
alternate to `/llms-full.txt`; per-guide pages override with their
specific `.md` URL via `genGuideMeta` in `GuidesMdx.utils.tsx`. Other
docs pages (reference, troubleshooting) inherit nothing.
- `apps/www/.vercelignore`: replaces the prior `*.md`/`README.md` rules
with `*.md` + `!content/md/**/*.md` so Edge Function READMEs and future
scratch `.md` files aren't silently shipped to the build artifact
- Drops `apps/www/data/llms/*.txt` and the related
`outputFileTracingIncludes`
- Test coverage for the new middleware branches: `.md` suffix rewrite
(allowlisted vs. fall-through), `Accept: text/markdown` content
negotiation, trailing-slash normalization

## Testing (Vercel preview)

Local dev server smoke tests passing on `:3771` after each iteration.
Re-verified on the preview URL after the latest hardening commit:

- [x] `curl -I https://<preview>/llms/auth.txt` — expect `308 Permanent
Redirect` to `/auth.md`
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/auth.md | head -3` — expect `# Supabase
Auth`
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/pricing.md | head -3` — expect `# Supabase
Pricing` with current tier values
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/modules/cron.md | head -3` — expect `#
Supabase Cron`
- [x] `curl -H 'Accept: text/markdown' https://<preview>/ | head -3` —
expect `# Supabase` (homepage.md)
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/llms.txt` — Product Overview section lists
`.md` URLs and includes Cron + Queues
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/llms-full.txt | grep -E '^# Supabase
(Cron\|Queues\|Pricing)'` — Cron and Pricing each match once; Queues
matches twice (marketing module + existing docs guide)
- [x] View source on `/`, `/pricing`, `/database` — expect `<link
rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="/<slug>.md">`
- [x] View source on `/docs` — expect `<link rel="alternate"
type="text/markdown" href="/llms-full.txt">`
- [x] View source on a docs guide page (e.g., `/docs/guides/auth`) —
expect per-guide `.md` alternate; reference/troubleshooting pages should
NOT emit a markdown alternate
- [x] `curl -I https://<preview>/auth.md` — expect
`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
- [x] `curl -I -L -H 'Accept: text/markdown' https://<preview>/auth/` —
should resolve to markdown content (trailing-slash normalization, with
Vercel's auto-redirect)

## Linear

- fixes GROWTH-760

## Follow-up (separate PR)

GROWTH-760 also asks about extending `.md` to blog/customers/events.
Different mechanism (path-prefix middleware, MDX read at request time
via `gray-matter`) so it deserves its own review. Will open a follow-up
PR after this lands.

Supabase Reference Docs

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.

Versioning

All tools have versioned docs, which are kept in separate folders. For example, the CLI has the following folders and files:

  • cli: the "next" release.
  • cli_spec: contains the DocSpec for the "next" release (see below).
  • cli_versioned_docs: a version of the documentation for every release (including the most current version).
  • cli_versioned_sidebars: a version of the sidebar for every release (including the most current version).

When you release a new version of a tool, you should also release a new version of the docs. You can do this via the command line. For example, if you just released the CLI version 1.0.1:

npm run cli:version 1.0.1

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.
