🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear MISSING before the unresolved-reference test.

If the test process defines MISSING, loadEnv expands $MISSING to that value. The assertion on Line 78 then fails even though expansion works correctly. Delete process.env.MISSING in the test setup.

Review comment at @packages/wxt/src/internal-utils/__tests__/env.test.ts at line
15:
Clear process.env.MISSING in the test setup alongside UNRESOLVED before the
unresolved-reference test, so loadEnv consistently exercises an unset variable
regardless of the test process environment.

@cyphercodes Let's take a look on that, and i hope this is ready to go.
