**troubleshooting.ts** - New source loader that reads local MDX files
from content/troubleshooting/ directly instead of fetching from GitHub
Discussions API
- Generates correct docs paths: /guides/troubleshooting/{slug}
- Uses type = 'troubleshooting' for proper search result mapping
- Sets slug: undefined to avoid trailing # in URLs
- Checksum includes title/topics/keywords so metadata-only changes
trigger re-indexing
- Left comments for review
**index.ts** - Replaced GitHub discussion sources with local
troubleshooting sources
- Removed GitHubDiscussionLoader, fetchDiscussions,
buildGithubUrlToSlugMap imports
- Added fetchTroubleshootingSources and TroubleshootingSource
- Updated SearchSource type union
**globalSearchModel.ts** - Changed type mapping from
'github-discussions' to 'troubleshooting'
**generate-embeddings.ts** - Removed GitHub App env vars from required
list (DOCS_GITHUB_APP_ID, DOCS_GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID,
DOCS_GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY) since they're no longer needed

* feat: alternate search index for nimbus
Create an alternate search index for Nimbus that filters out
feature-flagged pages (equivalent to setting all feature flags to
false).
Notes:
- Creates two new DB tables, `page_nimbus` and `page_section_nimbus`,
which are filtered versions of `page` and `page_section`
- Makes `nimbus` versions of all the DB search functions
- Refactored the embedding upload script. Changes to make it faster (got
annoyed by how slow it was when testing...), incorporate retries, and
produce better summary logs.
- Upload script, when run with the environment variable
ENABLED_FEATURES_OVERRIDE_DISABLE_ALL, produces and uploads the
alternate search index
- Changed all the search calls in frontend/API to check for
`isFeatureEnabled('search:fullIndex')` to determine whether to search
the full or alternate index
* ci: produce nimbus search indexes on merge
* fix: turn full search index on
* fix: remove hidden guide pages from render
Guide pages hidden from nav are still rendered. This change removes them
from both build-time and on-demand rendering.
* fix: build llms script
The build llms script does not run in an environment where React is
available, so it must import from 'common/enabled-features', not from
'common', to avoid errors.
* fix: don't render hidden reference pages
Similar to guides, but for client SDK references. If a page is hidden
from the navigation (its feature flag is toggled off), don't render it
at all. This includes (a) at build time, (b) at request time, and (c) at
crawler request time.
* fix: types
* refactor: reading markdown docs files
Refactor how Markdown docs files are read:
- Reuses the same logic across search index generation & page generation
- Improves the indexed content for search:
- Stops removing MDX components, which often contain useful
information like Admonitions
- Denormalizes Partials and CodeSamples for more complete content
This is a prerequisite step for implementing the "Copy docs as Markdown"
functionality.
Only touches regular guides for now, not federated ones.
* fix: tailwind build error (#37728)
We changed to default to ESM imports a while ago, which means local
builds are now breaking because the Tailwind uses a require. Changed to
CJS for Tailwind config file. (I have no idea how this has been working
on Vercel all this time.)
* style: prettier
Implement hybrid search for the /docs/api/graphql searchDocs endpoint. Prepend a more descriptive title and introduction to database advisor docs so they rank more highly when directly searched for.
* docs: add cursor rule for embedding generation process
Add documentation for cursor IDE about how docs embeddings are generated,
including the workflow for creating and uploading semantic search content.
* feat: improve API reference metadata upload with descriptive content
- Add preembeddings script to run codegen before embedding generation
- Enhance OpenApiReferenceSource to generate more descriptive content including
parameters, responses, path information, and better structured documentation
* feat: add Management API references to searchDocs GraphQL query
- Add ManagementApiReference GraphQL type and model for API endpoint search results
- Integrate Management API references into global search results
- Update test snapshots and add comprehensive test coverage for Management API search
* style: format
- Add support for filtering errors by specific error codes
- Implement `errors` query that accepts array of error code IDs
- Add tests for error code filtering functionality
- Update GraphQL schema with new error filtering capabilities
* feat(graphql): add paginated errors collection query
- Add new GraphQL query field 'errors' with cursor-based pagination
- Add UUID id column to content.error table for cursor pagination
- Implement error collection resolver with forward/backward pagination
- Add comprehensive test suite for pagination functionality
- Update database types and schema to support new error collection
- Add utility functions for handling collection queries and errors
- Add seed data for testing pagination scenarios
This change allows clients to efficiently paginate through error codes using cursor-based pagination, supporting both forward and backward traversal. The implementation follows the Relay connection specification and includes proper error handling and type safety.
* docs(graphql): add comprehensive GraphQL architecture documentation
Add detailed documentation for the docs GraphQL endpoint architecture, including:
- Modular query pattern and folder structure
- Step-by-step guide for creating new top-level queries
- Best practices for error handling, field optimization, and testing
- Code examples for schemas, models, resolvers, and tests
* feat(graphql): add service filtering to errors collection query
Enable filtering error codes by Supabase service in the GraphQL errors collection:
- Add optional service argument to errors query resolver
- Update error model to support service-based filtering in database queries
- Maintain pagination compatibility with service filtering
- Add comprehensive tests for service filtering with and without pagination
* feat(graphql): add service filtering and fix cursor encoding for errors collection
- Add service parameter to errors GraphQL query for filtering by Supabase service
- Implement base64 encoding/decoding for pagination cursors in error resolver
- Fix test cursor encoding to match resolver implementation
- Update GraphQL schema snapshot to reflect new service filter field
* docs(graphql): fix codegen instruction
Add a script for syncing error codes from the repo to the database. This
is part of the newly created rootSync script, where all sync scripts
should be moved eventually.
strictNullChecks was off for docs, which lets errors slip through and
leads to incorrect required/optional typing on Zod-inferred types. This
PR enables strictNullChecks and fixes all the existing violations.
* feat(content api): add error endpoint
Add an endpoint to return the details of a Supabase error, given the
error code and service.
Schema additions:
```graphql
type RootQueryType {
"...previous root queries"
"""Get the details of an error code returned from a Supabase service"""
error(code: String!, service: Service!): Error
}
"""An error returned by a Supabase service"""
type Error {
"""
The unique code identifying the error. The code is stable, and can be used for string matching during error handling.
"""
code: String!
"""The Supabase service that returns this error."""
service: Service!
"""The HTTP status code returned with this error."""
httpStatusCode: Int
"""
A human-readable message describing the error. The message is not stable, and should not be used for string matching during error handling. Use the code instead.
"""
message: String
}
enum Service {
AUTH
REALTIME
STORAGE
}
```
* test(content api): add tests for top-level query `error`
* feat(content api): add client library api reference search results
Allow searchDocs results to also return function references from the
client library APIs
* fix(content api): refine language enum handling
Add a top-level field to search docs globally. Right now this only
returns Markdown guides (not references, GitHub discussions, or partner
pages.
The full GraphQL schema at this point:
```
schema {
query: RootQueryType
}
type RootQueryType {
"""Get the GraphQL schema for this endpoint"""
schema: String!
"""Search the Supabase docs for content matching a query string"""
searchDocs(query: String!, limit: Int): SearchResultCollection
}
"""A collection of search results containing content from Supabase docs"""
type SearchResultCollection {
"""A list of edges containing nodes in this collection"""
edges: [SearchResultEdge!]!
"""The nodes in this collection, directly accessible"""
nodes: [SearchResult!]!
"""The total count of items available in this collection"""
totalCount: Int!
}
"""An edge in a collection of SearchResults"""
type SearchResultEdge {
"""The SearchResult at the end of the edge"""
node: SearchResult!
}
"""Document that matches a search query"""
interface SearchResult {
"""The title of the matching result"""
title: String
"""The URL of the matching result"""
href: String
"""The full content of the matching result"""
content: String
}
```
Towards DOCS-214
Add models and GraphQL interface definitions for search results and guides (representing Markdown documents such as tutorials, etc.).
These aren't connected to anything yet, but putting them in a separate
PR to keep the review short and relatively simple.
Towards DOCS-214
* feat (content api): add top-level schema query
Adds a top-level schema query that returns the stringified GraphQL
schema for this endpoint. Useful for LLMs to access the stringified
schema for prompting and tool calls.
Query shape:
```
query Search {
schema
}
```
Query response:
```
{
"data": {
"schema": "schema {\n query: RootQueryType\n}\n\ntype RootQueryType
{\n \"\"\"Get the GraphQL schema for this endpoint\"\"\"\n schema:
String\n}"
}
}
```
Towards DOCS-214
* test (content api): add schema snapshot
Add schema snapshot test to prevent unintentional changes to public API
for this endpoint
* fixup! feat (content api): add top-level schema query
* fix (content api): local dev introspection
The validation rules that are used for security in production are
preventing GraphiQL from introspecting the schema in dev. Since this DX
feature is incredibly useful, I'm turning off the complexity and depth
validations for dev GraphiQL only. Local curls, etc., will still have
production-standard validation so it can be tested locally.
Continue building out the docs/api/graphql endpoint by adding more
validation:
-A query depth limiter
- A query complexity limiter
Also added dummy (empty) root resolver and schema, plus a dev-only
GraphiQL page for better DX.
Endpoint should still return a 404 for now as there is no resolver.
