test(expo): drive the expo-native fixture from verify launch inputs

[mikepitre]

Description

This is the first of four pull requests that replace the eleven of stack #10100, #10052 to #10230. It holds #10052 and the part of #10090 that changes the fixture. Every file is in its final state, as at the head of #10230, so no later pull request in this stack changes it again. #10236 sits on this one.

The expo-native fixture in integration/templates/expo-native now always renders one home, verify/VerifyHost.tsx, and reads launch inputs whose names start with verify. With them, a test starts signed in or from clean storage without tapping through a sign-in first. The home shows who is signed in, as useAuth, useUser, and useSession report it, and one button for each screen a test needs. screens/destinations.ts is the one table of those buttons. The host draws nothing on or around AuthView, UserButton, or UserProfileView. A launch with no verify input shows the same home, signed out, with the publishable key the app was built with.

The inputs are launch arguments on iOS (-verifyAuthMode signIn) and string extras on Android (--es verifyAuthMode signIn). The native module modules/verify-launch-config reads them, in under 50 lines per platform.

• verifyAuthMode is signIn, signUp, or signInOrUp for every AuthView the home opens.
• verifySignInTicket signs in with the ticket strategy once Clerk has loaded, before the home renders.
• verifyStorageScope clears stored Clerk state when its value differs from the last launch. On iOS it deletes the app's generic-password keychain items and the identifier that AuthView keeps in UserDefaults. On Android it deletes the clerk_preferences and SecureStore preferences.
• verifyPublishableKey overrides EXPO_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY.
• verifyLogLevel debug logs each request as its method, its URL without the query, and its status.
• verifyRunId and verifyLaunchId label the host's console lines. On iOS, verifyLaunchId also sets CLERK_E2E_MODE=1, which keeps password AutoFill off the fields of the native Clerk views.

The second commit deletes the older tests in integration/tests/expo-native/, because they drive the home that App.tsx no longer has. Their config, page objects, root scripts, the root dev dependencies e2e and @e2e-dev/mobile, scripts/resolve-instance-keys.mjs, and the steps of the Expo workflow that ran them go with them. Each of their flows has a test in #10236.

To review, read verify/VerifyHost.tsx first, then verify/launch.ts and the two files of the native module, then screens/Home.tsx. Nothing here is copied or generated, apart from three lines of pnpm-lock.yaml.

These need a decision from a reviewer:

• app.json now lists the @clerk/expo-google-signin config plugin, with placeholder client IDs that belong to no Google project. The tarball builds of the Expo workflow on SDK 54, 55, and 57 now run that plugin.
• The Expo workflow's jobs Native E2E (<platform>, sdk 57) become Native Build (<platform>, sdk 57). A branch rule that names a Native E2E check needs the new name before this merges.
• After this, no device test runs against a staging instance or against the tarball install. The device suite in test(expo): add the Expo host of the e2e tests, their CI, and the verify-clerk-expo skill #10237 creates and deletes a development instance for each job and links the packages from the workspace.
• Between this pull request and test(expo): add the Expo host of the e2e tests, their CI, and the verify-clerk-expo skill #10237, CI runs no device test of the fixture. The four pull requests are meant to merge together.

Two smaller build changes come with it. metro.config.js watches the monorepo only when node_modules/@clerk/expo links to packages/expo, so a tarball install keeps the default config. For SDK 57 only, package.sdk-57.json adds expo-build-properties and moves expo to ~57.0.23, and app.config.js turns on ios.enableSceneSupport.

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only passes on this branch. The fixture runs on a device in the device suite of #10237. That suite passed on both platforms on the tree that the top of this stack had before two review fixes in #10237, in run 38601882313 of #10230.
