chore(shared): Check for process.env presence in telemetry collector

[wobsoriano]

Description

Likely a fix to #6244. A package or bundler is polyfilling process but not process.env, throwing the type error in the mentioned issue.

The only place where we check CLERK_TELEMETRY_DEBUG with process.env in an isomorphic environment is within the shared telemetry functions. This PR adds a check for both process and process.env presence.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A patch was applied to the telemetry collection logic in the "@clerk/shared" package to address issues with accessing environment variables, specifically CLERK_TELEMETRY_DEBUG and CLERK_TELEMETRY_DISABLED. The update introduces an explicit check to ensure process.env exists before attempting to read these variables within the isEnabled and isDebug getters. This change prevents runtime errors in environments where process is defined but process.env is undefined. No changes were made to exported or public entities.

packages/shared/src/telemetry/collector.ts (2)

101-104: Excellent defensive programming to prevent runtime errors.

The addition of process.env && check correctly addresses the issue where bundlers might polyfill process but not process.env. This prevents TypeErrors when accessing process.env.CLERK_TELEMETRY_DISABLED in such environments.

---

119-122: Consistent and safe environment variable access.

The process.env && check here mirrors the fix in isEnabled and prevents the same potential TypeError when accessing process.env.CLERK_TELEMETRY_DEBUG. The logic remains functionally equivalent while being more robust.

.changeset/four-countries-share.md (1)

1-6: Well-documented changeset for the bug fix.

The changeset properly documents the patch to @clerk/shared with an accurate description of the telemetry environment variable access fix. The format follows standard conventions and will generate appropriate release notes.
