fix(shared): export Appearance type from ui/types

[jacekradko]

Summary

• Export the Appearance type from packages/shared/src/ui/types.ts so it is included in @clerk/shared/types
• A codemod migrating imports from @clerk/types to @clerk/shared/types produces import type { Appearance } from "@clerk/shared/types", which fails because the type was declared without the export keyword
• Adding export to the existing type Appearance = any declaration makes it available through the barrel re-export in packages/shared/src/types/index.ts

Type error: Module '"@clerk/shared/types"' has no exported member 'Appearance'.

Test plan

• pnpm build --filter @clerk/shared passes
• Appearance appears in the export list of packages/shared/dist/types/index.d.ts
• Only the intended file is modified (packages/shared/src/ui/types.ts)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Made the Appearance type publicly available for external use in integrations and extensions.
  • Added a changeset entry to mark this update for a patch release.
