📄 Description

Users can skim code without reading the text, and LLMs can read code and miss-understand context correctly. Our current middleware example only checks for existence of a cookie, and doesn't validate it.

While we do warn users this isn't secure, some users has raised concern in a Github issue saying it's not obvious enough for users who skim.

Also we don't provide examples on how to authenticate users on each route, we only show middleware optimistic check examples.

Closes https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/3135
