Subject: [PATCH 01/14] feat(integration): add E2E_STAGING flag for staging env
 auto-swap
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When E2E_STAGING=1 is set, env configs transparently swap PK/SK to
staging keys and add CLERK_API_URL for clerkstage.dev. No new env
config objects, long-running app entries, or test file changes needed.

Adding a new staging instance only requires adding keys — the
withStagingSupport wrapper picks them up automatically.

Subject: [PATCH 04/14] fix(integration): use marker instead of null for
 missing staging keys

Configs without staging keys are now marked with a private env var
instead of being null. This prevents crashes in test files that
directly access env configs (e.g. email-code.test.ts accesses
envs.withEmailCodes). Long-running apps filter by the marker.

Subject: [PATCH 05/14] fix(integration): use CLERK_API_URL presence instead of
 env var marker
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The __STAGING_UNAVAILABLE__ env var marker was being written to the
app's .env file, causing side effects. Instead, use CLERK_API_URL
presence to determine staging readiness — configs with staging keys
have the staging API URL set, configs without don't.
