    "incantation": "When repository work needs a different Supabase branch, run `supabase branches switch <name>` (or provide its project ref). It updates the active branch in `.supabase/project.json`; a running local Supabase stack is stopped and restarted for that branch.",

      "<name>: Branch name or project ref. If omitted in an interactive TTY, prompts to select a branch; without a TTY, omission fails.",
      "Docs conflict: Current Supabase CLI reference lists branches subcommands but omits `branches switch`, differing from the v2.99.0 command documented in its source commit: https://supabase.com/docs/reference/cli/global-flags"
