📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The removed control component error message no longer has a trailing period after its documentation URL. Tests for SignedIn, SignedOut, and Protect expect the updated message. A patch changeset records the change.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 62553

Users copying the URL from the linked error pages may still reach a 404. Updating those examples is a small follow-up; the remaining mismatch is bounded.

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (85%): The before/after snippets show structurally identical return types; the only difference is that Options, Variables, and CaptchaAppearanceOptions are now imported from @clerk/ui (a public entry point) rather than @clerk/ui/internal (whose resolvability is unknown). Per rule 13/12, replacing a potentially non-resolvable specifier with a public one is a repair, not a break, and the structural shape of the return type is otherwise unchanged.
