Description

When sending a verification from the UserProfile add email or add phone dialog fails with a Clerk response that carries no errors (for example a 500 with data: []), save rejects with SaveError({}). The shared toFormError turned that into an empty error, so the dialog showed no message. It now returns the generic error, matching the fallback form.machine.ts already applies to the same rejection.

form.machine.ts keeps its own toFormError: it returns display strings, drops unknown fields and handles FormSubmitError, so it is not a duplicate of the shared one.

Captured in Chromium with the real add-email dialog and a simulated empty HTTP 500 response when sending the verification code.

Before After
Before: verification send fails without an error message After: the dialog shows Something went wrong. Please try again.

Walkthrough

When a SaveError has no global or field errors, toFormError now returns UNEXPECTED_ERROR as the global error. Utility and feature tests cover the fallback and its display in email and phone add dialogs after verification preparation fails without error details.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

controller-level test identified by “tells the user when sending fails with a
save that carries no errors” into the rendered email and phone add-contact
feature tests. Simulate the empty Clerk error response in each flow and assert
that the generic error message is visible in the dialog.
