There are a lot of error messages that say things like "ping Joe and Stopa" or "ping us on discord".

This PR updates the messages in self-hosted to say something like "contact your deployment administrator".

Also enables the debug-uri route in self-hosted. If you're an admin, it will show the traceId and include a message that they should search for the traceId in the logs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds hosted-only documentation rendering and deployment-specific support messages. Self-hosted deployments now direct errors to deployment administrators, while hosted deployments retain hosted support guidance.

Changes

Deployment-specific support behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hosted-only content rendering
client/www/markdoc/tags.js, client/www/app/docs/...
The new hosted-only Markdoc tag omits its content for self-hosted deployments. Hosted support instructions use the tag across documentation pages.
Dashboard deployment-aware errors
client/www/components/dash/...
Dashboard authentication, billing, OAuth, onboarding, permissions, Clerk, and organization billing errors select self-hosted or hosted guidance.
Page and debug-flow guidance
client/www/next.config.js, client/www/pages/...
Devtool, dashboard, debug URI, and OAuth pages use deployment-specific guidance. Self-hosted redirects preserve debug URI routes.
Server support messages
server/src/instant/...
Server validation and error responses use deployment administrator guidance or generic support text based on configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9ac48

The PR improves self-hosted error guidance and enables trace lookup, but an uncaught socket-error path still omits deployment-specific support guidance and trace-ID instructions. This is a bounded diagnostic risk that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

1102-1110: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restore deployment-specific guidance for uncaught errors.

This branch now returns only a generic apology. It does not tell self-hosted users to contact their deployment administrator. It also removes the hosted support guidance. When config/superuser-email is set, direct the user to the deployment administrator. Otherwise, retain the hosted support message. Include the traceId from the event so administrators can search deployment logs.

user to their deployment administrator; otherwise preserve the hosted support
guidance. Include the event’s traceId in the error message or associated error

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Verify that self-hosted deployments do not render hosted admin URLs.

isSelfHosted gates the Docker log hint, but the Admin URLs heading and urls.map(...) below remain unconditional. If admin-debug-uri returns hosted links for self-hosted requests, administrators will see unusable or misleading support links. Hide this section for self-hosted deployments, or confirm that the server returns no URLs in that mode.

Inline comments:
In `@client/www/app/docs/devtool/page.md`:
- Around line 82-86: Move the “Feedback?” heading into the existing {%
hosted-only %} block so the heading and feedback paragraph are both omitted for
self-hosted deployments, while preserving the hosted documentation content.

In `@client/www/components/dash/Auth.tsx`:
- Around line 278-290: Update magicCodeDefaultError and its callers, including
errorFromVerifyMagicCode and errorFromSendMagicCode, so the shared fallback uses
operation-neutral wording instead of referring specifically to sending a magic
code; preserve the existing self-hosted and non-self-hosted messaging
distinction.

In `@client/www/components/dash/auth/Clerk.tsx`:
- Around line 433-436: Update the invalid-domain branch in the submission flow
around clerkDomainFromPublishableKey so it returns immediately after
errorToast(clerkDomainError(), ...) when domain is missing, preventing the
request from proceeding with an invalid discovery endpoint.

In `@client/www/pages/_devtool/index.tsx`:
- Around line 144-161: Update the connection.state === 'error' handling in
DashFetchProvider so self-hosted deployments direct users to their deployment
administrator, while non-self-hosted deployments retain the Discord guidance.
Reuse the existing isSelfHosted-specific messaging pattern from the load-error
branch, or centralize that shared support message without changing unrelated
error behavior.
