Adds a docs guide, "Choosing a server-side package", that explains when to use `supabase-js`, `@supabase/ssr`, or `@supabase/server` when working with Supabase from JavaScript on the server. It includes a decision table and a short code example for each, with one rule up front: cookie-based sessions in SSR frameworks use `@supabase/ssr`, per-request header auth in Edge Functions and other backend runtimes uses `@supabase/server`, and `supabase-js` is the base client both wrap. The guide is surfaced from the Auth overview page and the sidebar, and is cross-linked from the `supabase-js` and `@supabase/server` reference introductions so it is reachable from where developers start. It also states that the packages coexist and are not replacements for each other, and keeps combining `@supabase/server` with `@supabase/ssr` as an advanced section. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Added a guide explaining how to choose between Supabase server-side JavaScript packages. - Added the guide to Auth navigation and the getting-started content listings. - Added links to the new guidance throughout relevant JavaScript and server documentation. - **Documentation** - Clarified when to use cookie-based sessions versus header-based authentication. - Added package comparisons, usage examples, advanced guidance, and related next steps. - Updated spelling support for framework names used in the documentation. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

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.
