Description
Part 3 of the keyless→CLI stack, stacked on #9485. Extends CLI-first error messaging to invalid (fabricated or mistyped) keys, which previously surfaced as a bare
Publishable key not valid.with no guidance:@clerk/shared: the default invalidpublishableKeymessage now recommendsnpx clerk@latest initand warns against placeholder keys.@clerk/nextjs:clerkMiddleware()validates the publishable key format upfront. Development throwscode=invalid_env_keyspointing atnpx clerk@latest init; production throwscode=invalid_env_keys_productionpointing atnpx clerk@latest env pull --instance prod.Sandbox agent trials showed fabricated placeholder keys are the most common agent failure mode, so both messages state the CLI is non-interactive and that invented keys will fail.
Supersedes #9483 (same content, restacked fresh off main).
