Danny White f7454cf94e feat(studio): oauth impersonation warning on authorize (#48162)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Feature + docs. Stacked on #48161 (logo contract /
[DEPR-604](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DEPR-604/define-connect-logo-asset-and-variant-contract)).

## What is the current behavior?

After #48161, curated logos only resolve from allowlisted `redirect_uri`
hosts. A requester can still present a trusted partner **name** (e.g.
Claude) while redirecting to an unrelated remote host; the UI shows
Supabase alone but does not call out the mismatch.

## What is the new behavior?

- Shows a caution admonition when the requester name looks like a
trusted partner (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT/OpenAI, Perplexity) but
`redirect_uri` is a **remote** host outside that partner's allowlist.
- Skips localhost / loopback redirects for the caution (common for local
MCP clients); those still get curated logos when the name matches a
trusted partner.
- Highlights the footer redirect URL in warning colour when the caution
is shown.
- Documents the behaviour in the Connect interstitials pattern.

### To test

Real MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, etc.) only send users to
**production** `/authorize`, so you cannot drive a local or preview
Studio build from those tools. Use a Network override instead:

1. Start Studio and sign in (`pnpm dev:studio`, or use the [Vercel
preview](https://studio-staging-git-danny-oauth-impersonation-warning-supabase.vercel.app/)).
2. Open `/dashboard/authorize?auth_id=foo` (any `auth_id` is fine; the
real response may 404) ([Vercel
preview](https://studio-staging-git-danny-oauth-impersonation-warning-supabase.vercel.app/dashboard/authorize?auth_id=foo)).
3. DevTools → **Network** → find `GET
…/platform/oauth/authorizations/foo` (or whatever id you used).
4. Right-click → **Override content** (enable Local Overrides / pick a
folder if prompted).
5. Paste one of the payloads below (status **200**), save, then reload
the authorize page.
6. Keep `expires_at` in the future so the request does not look expired.

#### Impersonation caution (trusted name + remote non-allowlisted
redirect)

Expect:

- Supabase alone (no curated Claude mark)
- Caution: “Redirect does not match this app name”
- Footer redirect URL in warning colour

```json
{
  "name": "Claude",
  "website": "https://claude.ai",
  "icon": null,
  "domain": "claude.ai",
  "redirect_uri": "https://evil.com/callback",
  "expires_at": "2099-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "scopes": ["organizations:read", "projects:read"],
  "approved_at": null,
  "registration_type": "dynamic"
}
```

/> |

#### Localhost MCP: no caution

Expect curated Claude + Supabase pair (name match + loopback), **no**
caution, normal footer colour. Local MCP clients often use loopback
redirects.

```json
{
  "name": "Claude",
  "website": "https://claude.ai",
  "icon": null,
  "domain": "claude.ai",
  "redirect_uri": "http://127.0.0.1:42813/callback",
  "expires_at": "2099-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "scopes": ["organizations:read", "projects:read"],
  "approved_at": null,
  "registration_type": "dynamic"
}
```

/> |

#### Legitimate curated partner: no caution

Expect curated Cursor + Supabase pair, no admonition, normal footer
colour.

```json
{
  "name": "Cursor",
  "website": "https://cursor.com",
  "icon": null,
  "domain": "cursor.com",
  "redirect_uri": "https://cursor.com/callback",
  "expires_at": "2099-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "scopes": ["organizations:read", "projects:read"],
  "approved_at": null,
  "registration_type": "dynamic"
}
```

/> |

#### Unrelated name + remote redirect: no caution

Expect Supabase alone (no icon), no admonition.

```json
{
  "name": "Acme Tools",
  "website": "https://evil.com",
  "icon": null,
  "domain": "evil.com",
  "redirect_uri": "https://evil.com/callback",
  "expires_at": "2099-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "scopes": ["organizations:read", "projects:read"],
  "approved_at": null,
  "registration_type": "dynamic"
}
```

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.
  • Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.

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.
