fix(e2e): filter OAuth cleanup by test run

[austincalvelage]

Description

I sent Codex to try to get to the bottom of these tests timing out today. This is my understanding of what's going on:

Integration tests were timing out during cleanup because cleanup scanned every OAuth app to find its own. Rate-limit responses caused retries and delays until cleanup exceeded its time limit. This PR exposes the backend’s existing name_query filter as nameQuery in the JavaScript SDK and uses it to narrow cleanup to the current test run’s apps, reducing API requests while preserving the existing deletion safeguards.

🤖 Codex summary and findings

Each integration job creates temporary Clerk apps and users to test real flows, then deletes them when its tests finish. The OAuth apps live under a shared provider used by many jobs and PRs.

Previously, every job fetched every OAuth app from that provider, page by page, just to find the ones belonging to its own run. Each job identifies its apps by a unique marker at the end of their names. Repeated scans across concurrent jobs create unnecessary API traffic; the failing runs received “too many requests” responses and spent their cleanup time waiting and retrying. The actual tests could pass, but cleanup would still fail with The action 'Delete integration-test users' has timed out after 4 minutes.

Cleanup now asks the server for apps whose names contain the current job’s marker, using name_query, and keeps the existing exact suffix check before deleting anything. It finds the same apps with fewer requests. Test setup and flows remain the same, and this fix removes or skips no existing integration tests.

The SDK exposes the existing backend filter as optional nameQuery. The Go implementation uses case-insensitive substring matching for names (and exact matching for client IDs). Cleanup retains pagination, the exact name.endsWith(applicationRunMarker) deletion check, and the existing retry policy. Every name accepted by the suffix check also contains the marker, so the server filter preserves eligible apps while reducing the list retrieved. Multiple applications created by one job share its run marker and remain eligible for cleanup. Test setup and isolation remain unchanged. Separately, the merge from main includes #9902, which raises the cleanup timeout from 4 to 10 minutes. The filtering change adds no timeout increase of its own; the attempt-1 timing evidence below predates that main-branch change.

The investigation found:

• PR #9455, merged August 25 (4307508a2a), introduced dynamic OAuth client registration on a shared provider and the full-list cleanup scan. Every integration matrix job runs that scan, so concurrent jobs and PRs repeat the same work.
• The Vue job on #9885 passed its integration tests, then logged 29 429 retries for oauthApplications.list before cleanup timed out. The Vue job on #9886 showed the same OAuth-list retry pattern. Eight cleanup steps failed in each of those runs; this is shared cleanup behavior across suites.
• OAuth cleanup precedes Platform API application deletion, so a timeout there prevents the later application cleanup from running.
• clerk_go already accepts name_query and applies it to both the OAuth application list and its total count. No Go change is required for this fix.

The SDK unit test verifies that nameQuery is serialized as name_query alongside pagination parameters. The cleanup change retains the existing pagination, retry policy, and exact suffix check. The existing integration jobs exercise cleanup against the live backend.

Live evidence comes from attempt 1 of run 35919076115, at commit a4c8c69c539e1661b49eb4b8d43b48fc511d8bb2: all 25 integration test tasks executed rather than replaying cached test results, all passed, and each cleanup logged 1–8 OAuth app deletions. Cleanup steps took 9–14 seconds in that attempt. Later cached integration runs are not additional fresh e2e evidence.

This removes one source of API contention; it does not eliminate rate limiting or guarantee complete cleanup. In attempt 4, cleanup took up to 74 seconds. The machine job exhausted user-list retries and still passed. Existing cleanup error handling can report errors without failing the step, so a green cleanup step alone is insufficient proof that every resource was removed. The first failing run, current OAuth backlog size, and any recent change to production limits were not established.

Follow-up work remains separate: make cleanup errors affect the result after attempting the remaining deletions; investigate remaining shared-provider rate limits; and address the scheduled cleanup, which skips OAuth apps without a run marker. The SDK unit test cannot detect a future server matching change that silently returns no apps; that requires live contract coverage or tracking expected created resources. This PR does not add that guarantee.

The four ConfigureSSO unit-test timeouts in attempt 1 were separate flakes and passed on retry without code changes; they remain a separate follow-up.

The changeset requests a minor release of @clerk/backend for the new optional nameQuery filter. Existing calls remain compatible.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The backend OAuth application list parameters now accept nameQuery. Cleanup sends its application run marker as that query and retains the suffix check before deletion. Tests cover query serialization, pagination, retry after a rate-limit response, and deletion of designated application IDs. Two tests now expect missing-configuration messages to include the link and env pull commands.

🤖 AI review (confirmed) (72%): The return type fields options, variables, and captcha now reference types from @clerk/ui/internal, whose referenceResolutions verdict is unknown (package not found). Per rule 12, a non-resolvable specifier means consumers cannot resolve these types, potentially causing compile errors. Since the resolution is not confirmed as exported, the change must be treated as breaking.

Migration: If you consume the return type of createTheme and reference Options, Variables, or CaptchaAppearanceOptions, ensure @clerk/ui/internal is a resolvable entry point in your project, or rely only on the structural shape without importing those types directly.
