Fix Supabase RLS Insert Errors: It's Not a Bug, It's Security
The 'new row violates row-level security policy' error in Supabase indicates RLS is active and blocking unauthorized writes, not a data leak. Common causes include missing INSERT policies, mismatched user_id, or unauthenticated requests. The fix involves creating an INSERT policy with WITH CHECK and setting a default user_id server-side.
