New deployment/version-skew-protection page: the skew problem, the
--external-id primitive and its reuse behaviour, runtime discovery (call
option, configure(), TRIGGER_EXTERNAL_DEPLOYMENT_ID, and the gated
platform/CI/generic commit-SHA variables with the build-time caveat),
the
manual any-platform recipe, waiting/expiry semantics, precedence, and
automatic skew protection on Vercel. Deprecation callouts on the atomic
deployments page and the Vercel integration page; --external-id/--force
added to the CLI deploy reference; redirect from
deployment/vercel-skew-protection so existing webapp links resolve
(TRI-13002).
Closes this feature request:
[https://triggerdev.featurebase.app/p/isolated-dev-sessions-for-multiple-local-trigger-dev-instances](https://triggerdev.featurebase.app/p/isolated-dev-sessions-for-multiple-local-trigger-dev-instances)
### Feature notes:
- CLI `trigger dev` works as before
- `trigger dev --branch my-branch` to create a new branch and run
against it.
- `trigger dev archive --branch my-branch` to archive (or in webapp).
- New webapp page to manage and archive dev branches, currently feature
flagged.
### Implementation details:
- No changes to data model, no backfill. `isBranchableEnvironment`
column is ignored for dev branches, we use `parentEnvironmentId IS NULL`
instead.
- `x-trigger-branch` overloaded for preview and dev branches
- New `TRIGGER_DEV_BRANCH` env var available locally.
`TRIGGER_PREVIEW_BRANCH` overloaded for child runs.
- Lots of new glue code to sanitise the branch checks.
### Rollout
- Deploy webapp/API changes (all backwards compatible)
- Manual tests on some orgs
- Deploy docs, release CLI, flip feature flag for webapp feature
### NB
- `api.v1.projects.$projectRef.environments.ts` will return
`isBranchableEnvironment: true` for all dev environments.
### Prerequisites
- [x] Typecheck will not pass until we make a new release of
`@trigger.dev/platform` and bump it here
A batch of technical-SEO fixes across the docs, all reader-facing
(titles, links, redirects):
- Canonicalize the duplicate CLI command pages: the bare `/cli-dev` and
`/cli-deploy` paths now permanently redirect to their `-commands`
equivalents, and a duplicate navigation entry is removed.
- Give the three pages that all rendered as "Overview" distinct titles
(Building with AI, self-hosting overview, Management API overview), with
sidebar labels unchanged.
- Replace the generic "Learn more" links in the introduction's
build-extension list with descriptive anchor text.
- Switch two http links to https in the Supabase guides, point a
troubleshooting page's help link to Discord, and add missing meta
descriptions to three help and troubleshooting pages.
## Summary
Docs follow-up for #3683 (`TriggerClient` for per-instance SDK
configuration). Adds a dedicated reference page and threads the new
pattern through the existing management + preview-branches docs.
## What's in
**New page** `docs/management/multiple-clients.mdx` — when to use
`TriggerClient` vs `configure()` vs `auth.withAuth`, env-var fallback
rules, isolation contract, namespace surface, `inheritContext` opt-in,
and a when-to-use-what table.
**Updated pages**
- `docs/management/authentication.mdx` — rewrote the `auth.withAuth`
section to reflect the now-ALS-backed semantics (the prior version
warned about concurrency races and pointed at issue #3298 as a tracked
fix; that fix landed in #3683). Added `tr_preview_*` to the key prefix
list. Reframed the multi-target use case to lead with `TriggerClient`,
with `auth.withAuth` as the temporary-override helper.
- `docs/management/overview.mdx` — added a `Multiple clients in one
process` subsection.
- `docs/deployment/preview-branches.mdx` — added a `Triggering across
multiple branches from one process` example.
- `docs/triggering.mdx` — one-liner pointing at the new page for
cross-project triggering.
- `docs/docs.json` — slotted `management/multiple-clients` into the
Management API nav, right after authentication.
Paired with #3683.
## Test plan
- [ ] Mintlify preview renders cleanly
- [ ] Code samples in each updated page run as documented
- [ ] Cross-page links resolve (`/management/multiple-clients`,
`/management/authentication`)
Adds documentation for creating additional worker groups via the admin
API endpoint, including how to make users admin (new vs existing users),
and clarifies that ADMIN_EMAILS only applies on signup.
