e0280cb650 docs: restructure observability navigation and overview (#49505)
<!-- CURSOR_AGENT_PR_BODY_BEGIN -->
## Stack

Draft stack extracted from `docs/monitoring`. Merge bottom-up. The
troubleshooting *catalog* rewrite (`content/troubleshooting` and the
Diagnosing UI) stays out of scope.

1. #49503 move inspect and advisors
2. #49501 split Studio logs from ClickHouse queries
3. #49500 treat reports as signal dashboards
4. #49502 add Observe the data hub
5. #49506 add agent setup components
6. #49504 add hire-an-agent templates
7. **#49505** restructure observability nav, overview, Detecting, and
flatten Observe the data ← **this PR**

## 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?

Docs update. Top layer in the observability stack.

## What is the current behavior?

The section is still titled Monitoring and Debugging, with a Debugging /
Monitoring split that does not match the new pages. The debugging guide
is still the master layer-isolation + symptom table. Observe the data is
split into “what data” vs “where to observe it,” which duplicates the
source pages.

## What is the new behavior?

- Section title is Observability
- Overview groups Observe the data, Detect and resolve, Hire an agent,
and Export
- **Observe the data is flattened by source.** Logs, Metrics API,
Database, Advisors, and Reports each list where to read that source.
There is no separate MCP/API/CLI/Studio nav group.
- **Observe vs Detecting:** Observe is the catalog (what exists, how to
access it). Detecting is how to *use* those sources to pick up a Health
/ Security / Performance / Usage signal. Named errors skip to
Diagnosing.
- Studio Logs sits under Logs. Reports sits beside the other sources.
- Troubleshooting stays in the global menu and also appears as
Diagnosing under Detect and resolve

## Additional context

This is the last PR in the stack. Together the seven PRs reconstruct the
`docs/monitoring` observability IA and guide content, without shipping
the troubleshooting catalog overhaul.

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.
