Create a new object for console to have a prototype with toString method

[psamim]

This is a fix for #11639

Objects possibly can have null prototypes. This causes them not to have toString() method leading to an error when doing substitution with console.warn() leading to the error "Cannot convert object to primitive value".

The error happens because both existing and incoming objects do not have .toString method. In the Chrome debugger, I saved incoming object as temp1 on the window and these are my observations:

console.log('%o', temp1)
> Uncaught TypeError: Cannot convert object to primitive value

console.log('%o', {...temp1} )
> {__typename: 'Configuration', totalNumber: 10, updatedAt: '2024-05-06T11:10:11.684236649Z' }

temp1.toString()
> Uncaught TypeError: temp1.toString is not a function

Hey @psamim 👋

Thanks so much for digging into this! For the life of us, we can't seem to reproduce this in any way (the null prototype seems to work just fine for us in Chrome, Firefox and Node.js). I'm glad you've found a way to reproduce and a way to fix it! Out of curiosity, which environment are you running this in?

Would you mind adding a changeset to this PR? I'd be happy to accept this and get this out with the next patch version. Thanks again for the contribution!

@jerelmiller

I am also running it in Chrome.

Sure, I added a change set.

[jerelmiller]

So weird! This is what I see when I run it in Chrome.

🤷‍♂️.

Anyways, thanks for adding that changeset! Once I get the checks to run, I'll get this merged.

🎉 Hoping this fixes this issue once and for all!
