YES
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Bug fix.
## What is the current behavior?
Running `make` in `apps/docs/spec` (used by the `docs-js-libs-update`
workflow) fails with:
```
ERR_PNPM_RECURSIVE_EXEC_FIRST_FAIL Command "redocly" not found
make: *** [Makefile:56: dereference.api.v1] Error 254
```
This regression was introduced in #44428, which removed `@redocly/cli`
from `packages/generator/package.json` as an "unused" dependency. It was
previously placed there because the Makefile ran `cd packages/generator
&& pnpm exec redocly` — but that directory had no logical ownership of
the dependency.
## What is the new behavior?
- `@redocly/cli` is now a devDependency of `apps/docs`, which is the
package that owns the spec generation workflow.
- The Makefile no longer `cd`s into `packages/generator` for the redocly
calls. It runs `pnpm exec redocly` directly from `apps/docs/spec`, where
the binary is now available.
- The `tsdoc:dereference` targets are unchanged and still `cd` into
`packages/generator` to run scripts defined there.
## Additional context
The `cd packages/generator` pattern for redocly was introduced in #42987
to fix a peer dependency resolution issue with `npx @redocly/cli`. The
fix was correct but placed the dependency in the wrong package. This PR
moves it to its logical home.

## Problem
The [spec generation Makefile started
failing](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/actions/runs/22142393017)
with:
```text
ReferenceError: React is not defined
at Object. (/Users/.../_npx/.../node_modules/styled-components/dist/styled-components.cjs.js:1:860)
```
This occurred when `@redocly/cli@2.18.2` was released on Feb 16, 2026.
The error happens because `npx @redocly/cli` installs the package in an
isolated temporary cache without properly resolving peer dependencies
(React is a peer dependency of styled-components).
## Solution
Replace `npx @redocly/cli` with `pnpm exec redocly` to use the installed
version from `packages/generator/package.json`.
This ensures:
1. **Proper dependency resolution** - pnpm installs the full dependency
tree including peer dependencies
2. **Version control** - locked to the version in package.json instead
of always fetching latest
3. **Reproducible builds** - won't break when new versions are released
## Changes
- Replace `npx @redocly/cli` → `cd $(GENERATOR_DIR) && pnpm exec
redocly` (5 places)
- Replace `npm run` → `pnpm run` for consistency with project's package
manager (6 places)
