Danny White e3d7267845 fix(studio): chip away explicit-tabindex ratchet debt (#48040)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

A11y cleanup follow-up to #47984 /
[DEPR-626](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DEPR-626).

## What is the current behavior?

Studio had 82 ratcheted `supabase/require-explicit-tabindex` violations
(raw `<button>` / `role="button"` without explicit `tabIndex`).

## What is the new behavior?

- Explicit `tabIndex={0}` (or disabled → `-1`) on those Studio call
sites across nav, `components/ui`, Database, Storage, and the remainder
- Ratchet baseline cleared (**82 → 0**) and the rule **removed from the
Studio ratchet** (debt is gone; ratchet is temporary)
- Rule remains a shared **`warn`** for now — promoting to `error` (and
sweeping www/docs/design-system) is a follow-up
- Also fixed the learn/ui-library call sites that surfaced while
experimenting with error promotion
- Small follow-ups where making controls focusable exposed gaps:
accessible names, disabled/focus consistency, focus-ring polish on
To-test surfaces, home section `KeyboardSensor`, and an E2E locator
tightened after `aria-label="Remove column"`

Prefer migrating to `Button` from `ui` in future touch-ups; this PR
takes the minimal path so Studio debt can stay at zero.

## Additional context

Batches landed together so baseline conflicts stayed simple while
chipping away:

- Hotspots / nav (FirstLevelNav, Marketplace, AttachmentUpload, Column,
Tabs, …)
- `components/ui` shared
- Database + Storage
- Remainder

**Out of scope / intentional deferrals**

- Promoting `supabase/require-explicit-tabindex` to a lint **error**
(follow-up after www/docs/design-system sweeps)
- Tabs/Radio roving, tooltips, context menus, in-menu items
- Full keyboard-accessible tab-close UX (close stays hover +
`tabIndex={-1}`; context menu still closes tabs)
- Data API docs links (`/project/<ref>/api` redirect)

**Reviewer notes**

- Rule only flags raw `<button>` / `role="button"` without a `tabIndex`
prop. `Button` from `ui` already bakes this in
- `tabIndex={-1}` is intentional for disabled controls, in-menu /
roving-focus children, and hover-only tab close
- For dnd-kit grips, put `tabIndex` **after** `{...attributes}` so it
isn’t overwritten (TS2783)

### To test

Use **Safari** with macOS Keyboard navigation **off** (System Settings →
Keyboard). Chrome once for a sanity pass. For each surface below: Tab
until the control is focused, then activate with Enter/Space where
relevant.

1. **API Docs side panel** (Table Editor → open a table → **API docs**)
- Floating API Docs panel — **not** `/project/<ref>/api` (that redirects
to Data API docs; language ToggleGroup uses arrow keys; links are out of
scope)
- Left nav buttons — Tab through several and activate one; active
highlight / navigation still works

2. **Integrations → Marketplace**
- Enable **Integrations layout** feature preview first (avatar menu →
Feature previews)
   - `/org/<slug>/integrations` or project integrations marketplace
   - “Clear all”, grid/list toggles — Tab + activate

3. **Table Editor → create a table → Columns**
- Drag handles only appear while **creating** (not when editing an
existing table)
   - Tab to grip / remove (X) / sensitive-data eye if shown

4. **Project Home** — section drag handles
   - Tab to a grip (visible focus ring)
- Optional: Space to pick up, arrows to move, Space/Esc to drop
(KeyboardSensor added)
   - Mouse dnd still works

5. **Storage → Policies** — expand/collapse bucket list chevron
(design-system focus ring, no stuck grey open bg)

6. **Support form** (Help → Support) — attachment remove (×) and
add-attachment control when visible

Disabled controls should be **skipped** by Tab.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Accessibility Improvements**
* Improved keyboard navigation throughout Studio by explicitly managing
focus (`tabIndex`) across many interactive controls (menus, tabs,
tables, charts, dialogs, navigation, and form actions).
* Disabled or non-interactive controls are now removed from the tab
order (or made unfocusable), while available actions remain reachable.
* Ensured `type="button"` on relevant controls to prevent unintended
submissions, and refined keyboard focus behavior for various toggles and
copy/remove actions.
* **Chores**
* Updated the ESLint rule baseline configuration to match the new focus
behavior.

Community & Support

  • Community Forum. Best for: help with building, discussion about database best practices.
  • GitHub Issues. Best for: bugs and errors you encounter using Supabase.
  • Email Support. Best for: problems with your database or infrastructure.
  • Discord. Best for: sharing your applications and hanging out with the community.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
