DC-6434 Clarify prisma db seed is only run explicitly in v7

[ArthurGamby]

Automatic seeding during migrate dev/reset was removed in v7.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation

• Clarified that seeding in Prisma v7 is explicit and now runs via the explicit seed command (no automatic seeding during migrations).
• Separated v7 and v6 seeding workflows and added highlighted notes explaining the behavioral differences.
• Updated reference text to state when the seed script runs and where to invoke it.
• Fixed a MongoDB modeling link to point to the recommended data-modeling best-practices page.

Walkthrough

This PR updates Prisma docs to reflect v7 seeding behavior: seeding is now triggered explicitly with npx prisma db seed (removed from automatic migrate flows). It adjusts the seeding guide, migrations config reference, upgrade guide, and fixes a MongoDB link in the data-modeling page.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Seeding guide content/200-orm/300-prisma-migrate/300-workflows/10-seeding.mdx	Adds an inline Prisma v7 info block stating seeding is explicit (npx prisma db seed), moves prior “Prisma 6” content into a collapsible details section, and updates narrative/flags to separate v7 vs v6 behavior; minor whitespace/structural markdown edits.
Migrations config reference content/200-orm/500-reference/325-prisma-config-reference.mdx	Updates migrations.seed description to state the seed script runs when executing npx prisma db seed (v7) and adds a highlighted note contrasting v7 explicit seeding with v6 automatic seeding.
Upgrade guide content/200-orm/800-more/300-upgrade-guides/200-upgrading-versions/400-upgrading-to-prisma-7.mdx	Inserts a subsection explaining that automatic seeding during migrations was removed in v7 and shows the explicit npx prisma db seed command; added in two locations.
Data modeling link content/200-orm/050-overview/100-introduction/300-data-modeling.mdx	Adjusts an inline MongoDB modeling link to point to the MongoDB data-modeling best practices page instead of the embedding-vs-references concepts page; no other content changes.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

• Changes are documentation-only but spread across multiple topical files; review focuses on factual accuracy and consistency rather than code.
• Areas needing extra attention:
  • Ensure v7 vs v6 wording is technically precise and consistent across all files (seed trigger, --skip-seed applicability).
  • Verify the new collapsible/details block doesn’t break rendering or accessibility in the seeding guide.
  • Confirm the updated MongoDB link target is the intended destination.

Learning: In `.mdx` files, do NOT flag or suggest changes for the following code quality issues even if they represent poor practices: React anti-patterns (using var instead of useState, direct DOM manipulation), missing keys in .map() iterations, non-serializable props in getServerSideProps, unused variables, missing error handling, SQL injection vulnerabilities (unless actively showing how to fix them), insecure cookie settings, missing TypeScript types, PrismaClient instantiation patterns, or any other code quality, security, or performance issues. Documentation code snippets are copied from source code and often intentionally show "before" examples or common mistakes.

77-77: Link update improves documentation specificity.

This change refines the reference to MongoDB's data-modeling guidance by pointing to the dedicated best-practices page rather than the embedding-vs-references concepts page. The new link is more directly relevant to the context—Prisma Client's expectation of normalized model design—and guides users to authoritative guidance on MongoDB best practices.
