Walkthrough

The environment variable update implementation now checks that non-task-context names are strings before assigning them, throwing an error otherwise. A type-level test verifies that client.envvars.update remains callable with both the four-argument out-of-task signature and the two-argument in-task signature.

[devin-ai-integration]

🔍 Pre-existing bug in the task-context branch assigns slug to projectRef

When taskContext.ctx is truthy and slugOrParams is a string (the 5-arg overload path), line 308 sets $projectRef = slugOrParams instead of $projectRef = projectRefOrName. This means the slug value gets used as the project reference. Line 309 then sets $slug = slugOrParams ?? taskContext.ctx.environment.slug which is correct in value but the ?? is dead code since slugOrParams is already confirmed to be a string (and thus truthy) by the typeof check on line 307.

This means that calling envvars.update("proj_ref", "dev", "MY_VAR", { value: "x" }) from inside a task context would send the API request with projectRef="dev" and slug="dev" instead of projectRef="proj_ref" and slug="dev". The PR fixes the analogous issue in the else branch but leaves this bug untouched.

(Refers to lines 308-309)

🔍 Missing changeset for public package modification

The AGENTS.md requires adding a changeset when modifying any public package (packages/*). This PR modifies packages/trigger-sdk/src/v3/envvars.ts but the .changeset/ directory only contains README.md and config.json (no changeset file). This should be added before merge per repository conventions.
