Description

When initialValues.phoneNumber is set, <SignIn /> starts on the phone field, but SignInStart also seeded the email field with the phone number. The first "Use email" click then showed a value starting with +, so the autofill effect switched straight back to the phone field. A prefilled number without + showed up in the email field instead.

The email field now starts empty when the form starts on the phone field. A new test in SignInStart.test.tsx covers the first "Use email" click.

Fixes #10487

Walkthrough

When the selected identifier is a phone number, SignInStart initializes the text identifier field as empty. Other identifier types retain their corresponding initial value. A regression test checks that choosing “Use email” after pre-filling a phone number selects an empty email field. A patch changeset records the change.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

The first “Use email” click should now show an empty email field instead of returning to phone. No issue remains that needs resolution before merge.

Explanation

Issue #10487 requires the first “Use email” click to show the email field when initialValues.phoneNumber is set. SignInStart.tsx now initializes the text identifier field as empty when identifierAttribute is phone_number. The focused test verifies the first click and the empty email field. This also prevents a prefilled phone number, with or without +, from appearing in the email field.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The pull request changes only the affected SignInStart initialization, adds a focused regression test, and adds a patch changeset for @clerk/ui. Each change supports issue #10487. No unrelated behavior or files are identified.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
