feat(shared): polish missing/invalid key error copy - #9531
Merged
Conversation
- Remove the two-space indent before the `npx clerk@latest init` command; it read as a stray space in browser dev error overlays - Start the follow-up sentence with the command name instead of "It" so it stands alone - Reword "Requires no Clerk account or login" to "No Clerk account or login required"

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert the complete revised error message in all affected tests.
The source changes the sentence after the initialization command, but each expectation below stops at the command. Include No Clerk account or login required and the command is non-interactive. in every expected message.

Description
Copy-only follow-up to #9491. Three tweaks to the missing/invalid key error messages (all 4 variants: missing publishable key, missing secret key, invalid publishable key, and the fatal key-parse guidance):
npx clerk@latest initcommand. The indent is a terminal code-block convention, but in the Next.js dev error overlay — where most new users hit this message — it renders as a stray leading space.npx clerk@latest initcreates a Clerk application..." instead of "It creates...", so the sentence stands on its own.No behavior changes. Test assertions in
shared,backend, andnextjsupdated to match.Checklist
pnpm testruns as expected.pnpm buildruns as expected.Type of change
