📄 Description

This PR adds a warning callout in the Stripe plugin documentation to clarify a common cause of webhook signature verification errors.

The note explains that parsing or modifying the request body (e.g., with express.json()) before passing it to Better Auth breaks Stripe’s signature validation. It instructs developers to use the raw request body when handling webhooks.

Summary by cubic

Add a warning callout to the Stripe plugin docs about webhook signature verification. It explains that parsing the request body (e.g., express.json()) before Better Auth breaks Stripe’s check and tells you to use the raw body.

Also removes a redundant line in the local development section.
