Description

The debugger in clerk-js used ANSI escapes to color console text. This functionality was only compatible with Chrome. This PR removes the colors to make the debug logs more readable in other browsers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request updates the @clerk/clerk-js package with a patch version bump. The primary change removes ANSI color formatting from the ConsoleTransport debug module. ANSI color constants and color mappings were eliminated, and message construction was simplified to a plain text format: "[Clerk Debug] {timestamp} {LEVEL}{source}: {message}{context}". The control flow and method signatures remain unchanged, with no public API modifications.
