Neon Postgres Branches

This walks you through choosing between normal and schema-only Neon branches, then creates them via MCP or CLI. Normal branches copy real data for migration testing against production-like conditions. Schema-only branches (beta) clone structure without rows when you need to avoid copying sensitive data. It checks for MCP first, falls back to CLI, and includes auth checks before running commands. The reset-from-parent section is helpful if your dev branch drifts too far from production and you want a clean refresh. One thing to watch: schema-only branches are independent roots with no parent history, so some workflows like reset-from-parent don't apply.
