Every CustomErrorBase subclass explicitly sets `name = 'ClassName' as const`
except ServiceUnavailableError, which relied on the constructor fallback that
reads `this.constructor.name`. This is fragile under minification. Added the
explicit name property for consistency and added a serialization round-trip test.

Simplify the assertError implementation by delegating to isError
instead of duplicating the same validation checks.

- Remove JSON.stringify fallback from toError, use the same unknown
error messaging as stringifyError for all non-string/non-error values
- Add try/catch to protect against values that throw on string
conversion (e.g. null-prototype objects, symbols)
- Fix no-op `void toError(err)` in DeleteEntityConfirmationDialog
- Fix `${err}` producing [object Object] in UrlReaderProcessor
- Fix double toError call in openStackSwift
- Update JSDoc to accurately describe the behavior
- Add tests for throwing toString and circular objects
- Add changeset for all refactored packages

Add a `toError` utility function to `@backstage/errors` that converts
unknown values to `ErrorLike` objects. If the value is already error-like
it is returned as-is. Strings are used directly as the error message, and
other values are stringified with a fallback to JSON.stringify to avoid
unhelpful `[object Object]` messages.
Non-error causes passed to `CustomErrorBase` are now converted and stored
using `toError` rather than discarded. Existing `assertError` call sites
across the codebase are migrated to `toError`.

Move jest from dependencies to peer dependencies, allowing users to
choose between Jest 29 and Jest 30.
The CLI now detects the Jest version at runtime and uses the
appropriate environment:
- Jest 29: Uses standard jest-environment-jsdom
- Jest 30: Uses a custom environment based on @jest/environment-jsdom-abstract
with fixes for Web API globals (fetch, streams, Error, etc.)
The cross-fetch polyfill is only injected for Jest 29, as with Jest 30+
our patched Jest environment is used. The network request blocker is made
MSW-compatible by checking if fetch was wrapped before blocking.
Jest 30 (with jsdom v27) fixes `Could not parse CSS stylesheet`
warnings/errors when testing components from @backstage/ui or other
packages using CSS `@layer` declarations.
New peer dependencies (install based on your Jest version):
- jest (required, ^29 or ^30)
- Jest 29 requires: jest-environment-jsdom
- Jest 30 requires: @jest/environment-jsdom-abstract, jsdom
Production code changes for jsdom 27 testability:
- AppIdentityProxy: extract navigateToUrl method for spying
- LiveReloadAddon: export utils.reloadPage for spying
- collect.ts: export internal.resolvePackagePath for mocking
MockFetchApi: evaluate global.fetch at call time instead of construction
time, allowing MSW to patch fetch after MockFetchApi is constructed.
Test adaptations for jsdom 27:
- Use RGB values instead of named colors in CSS assertions
- Update error format expectations (hyphenated type names, SyntaxError
instead of FetchError for JSON parse errors)
- Simplify URL error assertions for cross-version compatibility
- Fix accessible name whitespace handling for external links
- Use history.replaceState for location mocking (non-configurable)
- Use fireEvent.blur for contentEditable elements
- Move async assertions inside waitFor for race conditions
- Remove Blob.prototype.text polyfill (now native)
- Remove test case using credentials in plugin:// URLs
Test adaptations for Jest 30:
- Replace `expect.objectContaining([...])` with direct array equality
- Replace `expect.objectContaining({ length: N })` with
`expect.any(Array)` + separate `toHaveLength()` assertions
- Use child process for native Node.js module resolution in
collect.test.ts to work around Jest 30's resolver behavior
- Update snapshot headers for new Jest format
Also removes the jest-haste-map patch which is no longer needed.
