[@clerk/react-router] sign-in initiated SSO with legal compliance enabled fails on complete-sign-up when signUp.update({ legalAccepted: true }) is called

Inizia con il flusso di continuazione della registrazione di @clerk/react-router utilizzato da /sign-up/complete/future e confronta signUp.update(...) con clerk.client.signUp.update(...) nel flusso legacy. Usa la riproduzione live collegata con la conformità legale abilitata e verifica che il flusso futuro invii una richiesta di registrazione specifica per l'ID e si completi correttamente con legalAccepted: true.

Preliminary Checks

• I have reviewed the documentation: https://clerk.com/docs
• I have searched for existing issues: https://github.com/clerk/javascript/issues
• I have not already reached out to Clerk support via email or Discord (if you have, no need to open an issue here)
• This issue is not a question, general help request, or anything other than a bug report directly related to Clerk. Please ask questions in our Discord community: https://clerk.com/discord.

Publishable key

Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable Google SSO and legal compliance in Clerk for the publishable key above.
2. Open the live repro.
3. Go to /sign-in.
4. Click Continue with Google (future).
5. Use a Google account that does not already exist in this Clerk instance.
6. After the OAuth callback, Clerk transfers the attempt into sign-up and routes to /sign-up/complete/future.
7. Fill in first name and last name, check the legal acceptance checkbox, and submit.
8. Observe that the request made by signUp.update(...) targets the client sign-up collection endpoint without a sign-up ID and fails with 405 Method Not Allowed.

The repro now also includes a control flow:

9. Repeat the same steps with Continue with Google (legacy), which routes to /sign-up/complete/legacy.
10. That page uses clerk.client.signUp.update(...) instead of signUp.update(...), so the repro exposes both the new and legacy update paths side-by-side.

Expected behavior:

The continued sign-up flow should accept legalAccepted: true and proceed normally.

More specifically, signUp.update(...) in the custom sign-up continuation flow should update the current sign-up attempt using an ID-aware sign-up endpoint, not the collection endpoint.

Actual behavior:

On the future flow, the request sent by signUp.update(...) does not include a sign-up ID in the path. It hits the collection endpoint shape instead:

PATCH /v1/client/sign_ups?...&_method=PATCH

instead of an ID-specific endpoint shape:

PATCH /v1/client/sign_ups/{sign_up_id}

The result is:

405 Method Not Allowed

and the browser UI then throws:

Failed to execute 'json' on 'Response': Unexpected end of JSON input

The repro now isolates this to the new sign-up completion path by exposing two flows:

• future: uses signUp.update(...)
• legacy: uses clerk.client.signUp.update(...)

The issue is specifically on the future flow. The legacy flow is included as a control for direct comparison.
