Watch out for

Supabase row-level security might block service key access if not configured correctly, so verify your API keys have sufficient permissions.
Context window limits can truncate conversation history during long threads, so implement a sliding window strategy in Simple Memory to keep only recent turns.
Webhook timeouts may occur if the Supabase query is slow, add error handling to return a temporary holding message while the backend processes the data.
