fix: prevent TypeError when open() called before widget script loads

[PaulBoye-py]

Description

invokeInstanceMethod used widget?.current[method] which only guards against widget being undefined. widget is a React ref and is always defined, so the optional chaining was ineffective.

When a user calls open() before the Cloudinary script has finished loading, createWidget() returns undefined (because cloudinary.current is not yet set), leaving widget.current as undefined. The subsequent widget.current[method] access then throws a TypeError, which is what Sentry was catching.

Changing to widget.current?.[method] moves the optional chaining to where it matters, so calling open() before the script loads fails gracefully instead of throwing.
