seed-fixtures

Reproducible local data so dev and tests start from a known state.

Process

Respect FK order: insert parents before children. Reset in reverse.
Make it deterministic: fixed UUIDs/timestamps for anything a test asserts on. Random is fine only for volume/noise data.
Realistic, not lorem: plausible names, emails (@example.com), prices, dates — so the UI looks real.
Provide a reset: a seed.sql that truncates (dev only!) then re-inserts, idempotent.

Output

supabase/seed.sql (runs on supabase db reset) or a scripts/seed.ts.
A small "reset + seed" command in the README.

Guardrails

Seed/reset scripts touch the local DB only. Guard them so they can't point at prod (check the connection string / refuse if host looks like production).
Use @example.com emails and obviously-fake data — never real customer data in fixtures.
