Pamela Chia d409836ca7 feat(www,docs): serve marketing pages as .md, advertise via link rel=alternate (#45277)
## Summary

Adds `/<page>.md` routes for 10 marketing/product pages (homepage, auth,
database, edge-functions, realtime, storage, vector, pricing,
modules/cron, modules/queues) so AI agents can fetch clean markdown
instead of parsing JS-rendered HTML. Also advertises the markdown
alternate via `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">` on marketing
and docs pages so agents can discover it.

Pricing is generated dynamically via `generatePricingContent()` (single
source of truth with `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt`); the other nine
slugs are bundled at build time from `content/md/*.md` into a
`MD_CONTENT` map.

Supersedes #44891 (rebased fresh off current master to avoid a 9-commit
replay over rename/rename conflicts created by #44897).

## Changes

- New `/api-v2/md/[...slug]` route handler returns the bundled markdown
(or dynamic pricing) with `Content-Type: text/markdown`,
`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, and appropriate cache headers
- Middleware rewrites `/<slug>.md` and `Accept: text/markdown` to the
API route for the `MD_PAGES` allowlist; trailing-slash variants
(`/auth/`) are normalized so they resolve the same as `/auth`
- Build-time codegen `scripts/generateMdContent.mjs` scans `content/md/`
and emits `app/api-v2/md/content.generated.ts` exporting both
`MD_CONTENT` (Map) and `MD_PAGES` (Set, incl. dynamic `pricing`). Fails
the build on slug collision between `content/md/` and `DYNAMIC_SLUGS`.
Adding a new marketing `.md` is just dropping a file in `content/md/`
(also update `PRODUCT_OVERVIEW_LINKS` in `/llms.txt` since that list is
editorial).
- 8 permanent redirects `/llms/<product>.txt` → `/<product>.md` so
legacy URLs in caches and downstream `llms.txt` copies keep working
- `/llms.txt` product overview now references `.md` URLs (incl.
`modules/cron`, `modules/queues`); `/llms-full.txt` iterates
`MD_CONTENT.values()` (homepage first, then alphabetical) and appends
dynamic pricing
- `/llms/[slug]` route slimmed to proxy SDK reference files (`js.txt`,
`dart.txt`, etc.) since redirects handle product slugs and pricing;
pricing branch retained as fallback in case redirects are bypassed
- `apps/www/pages/_app.tsx` injects the alternate link conditionally
based on `MD_PAGES`; `/pricing` (app router) sets it via page metadata
- `apps/docs/app/page.tsx` (the `/docs` root) sets the text/markdown
alternate to `/llms-full.txt`; per-guide pages override with their
specific `.md` URL via `genGuideMeta` in `GuidesMdx.utils.tsx`. Other
docs pages (reference, troubleshooting) inherit nothing.
- `apps/www/.vercelignore`: replaces the prior `*.md`/`README.md` rules
with `*.md` + `!content/md/**/*.md` so Edge Function READMEs and future
scratch `.md` files aren't silently shipped to the build artifact
- Drops `apps/www/data/llms/*.txt` and the related
`outputFileTracingIncludes`
- Test coverage for the new middleware branches: `.md` suffix rewrite
(allowlisted vs. fall-through), `Accept: text/markdown` content
negotiation, trailing-slash normalization

## Testing (Vercel preview)

Local dev server smoke tests passing on `:3771` after each iteration.
Re-verified on the preview URL after the latest hardening commit:

- [x] `curl -I https://<preview>/llms/auth.txt` — expect `308 Permanent
Redirect` to `/auth.md`
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/auth.md | head -3` — expect `# Supabase
Auth`
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/pricing.md | head -3` — expect `# Supabase
Pricing` with current tier values
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/modules/cron.md | head -3` — expect `#
Supabase Cron`
- [x] `curl -H 'Accept: text/markdown' https://<preview>/ | head -3` —
expect `# Supabase` (homepage.md)
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/llms.txt` — Product Overview section lists
`.md` URLs and includes Cron + Queues
- [x] `curl https://<preview>/llms-full.txt | grep -E '^# Supabase
(Cron\|Queues\|Pricing)'` — Cron and Pricing each match once; Queues
matches twice (marketing module + existing docs guide)
- [x] View source on `/`, `/pricing`, `/database` — expect `<link
rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="/<slug>.md">`
- [x] View source on `/docs` — expect `<link rel="alternate"
type="text/markdown" href="/llms-full.txt">`
- [x] View source on a docs guide page (e.g., `/docs/guides/auth`) —
expect per-guide `.md` alternate; reference/troubleshooting pages should
NOT emit a markdown alternate
- [x] `curl -I https://<preview>/auth.md` — expect
`X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
- [x] `curl -I -L -H 'Accept: text/markdown' https://<preview>/auth/` —
should resolve to markdown content (trailing-slash normalization, with
Vercel's auto-redirect)

## Linear

- fixes GROWTH-760

## Follow-up (separate PR)

GROWTH-760 also asks about extending `.md` to blog/customers/events.
Different mechanism (path-prefix middleware, MDX read at request time
via `gray-matter`) so it deserves its own review. Will open a follow-up
PR after this lands.

Supabase Cron

Schedule and manage recurring jobs directly in Postgres with pg_cron.

Supabase Cron is a Postgres module that uses the pg_cron extension to schedule and manage recurring jobs. Define schedules with standard cron syntax or natural language, and run jobs that call database functions, Edge Functions, or remote webhooks.

Key Features

  • Postgres native: schedule and run jobs directly within your database, no external scheduler needed
  • Cron syntax and natural language: use familiar cron expressions or plain English to define intervals
  • Sub-minute scheduling: run jobs as frequently as every 1-59 seconds
  • Real-time monitoring: track and debug scheduled jobs with built-in observability tools
  • Extensible: trigger database functions, Supabase Edge Functions, or HTTP webhooks
  • Dashboard management: create, edit, and monitor jobs through an intuitive UI
  • SQL-based: manage jobs using simple SQL commands, track changes with Postgres migrations
  • 100% open source: built on pg_cron, a trusted community-driven extension

Common Use Cases

  • Periodic data cleanup or archival
  • Scheduled report generation
  • Recurring API calls or webhook triggers
  • Database maintenance tasks (vacuum, reindex)
  • Timed cache invalidation
  • Periodic data synchronization between systems

Technical Details

  • Extension: pg_cron (open source)
  • Minimum interval: 1 second
  • Schedule format: cron syntax (minute/hour/day/month/weekday) or natural language
  • Job targets: SQL statements, database functions, Edge Functions, HTTP endpoints
  • Monitoring: job run history with status, duration, and error details
