fix(ci): skip pkglab in latest SDK mode for e2e-staging

[jacekradko]

Summary

• When sdk-source=latest, the e2e-staging workflow should install Clerk packages from npm instead of the local pkglab registry
• The test app setup in applicationConfig.ts was skipping pkglab deps from package.json (expecting pkglab add to handle them), but in latest mode no packages are published to pkglab
• Now when E2E_SDK_SOURCE=latest:
  • applicationConfig.ts writes pkglab deps as latest in package.json instead of skipping them
  • application.ts runs pnpm install instead of pkglab add
• Passes E2E_SDK_SOURCE env var from the workflow to the test runner

Test plan

• Trigger e2e-staging workflow with sdk-source=latest — tests should no longer fail with No pkglab versions for @clerk/nextjs
• Trigger e2e-staging workflow with sdk-source=ref — existing pkglab flow should still work

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Enhanced integration testing to allow selecting the SDK source used during tests.
  • Made setup logic environment-aware so package installation behavior adapts to the chosen SDK source.
  • Added a lightweight changeset placeholder to track the update.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new environment variable, E2E_SDK_SOURCE, is exposed to integration tests via the e2e workflow. Application setup logic now checks E2E_SDK_SOURCE: when it equals 'latest', pkglab dependencies are installed from npm with version 'latest' and the pkglab install path is skipped; otherwise, local pkglab installation is used when pkglab dependencies are present. A new empty changeset file was added.
