📄 Description

Currently, there is no way to delete an anonymous user. Calling authClient.deleteUser requires a password, which anonymous users have not set.

This PR introduces a /delete-anonymous-user endpoint to allow such.

Summary by cubic

Adds a POST /delete-anonymous-user endpoint so anonymous users can delete their account and session without a password. Updates docs and error codes, and respects the plugin option to disable deletion.

  • New Features

    • Endpoint: POST /delete-anonymous-user; requires a valid session; deletes the user and clears the session cookie; returns { success: true }.
    • Guards: only works for anonymous users; errors for disabled deletion, non‑anonymous users, or failures.
    • Error codes: FAILED_TO_DELETE_ANONYMOUS_USER, USER_IS_NOT_ANONYMOUS, DELETE_ANONYMOUS_USER_DISABLED.
    • Docs: added “Delete Anonymous User” section and notes.

  • Migration

    • disableDeleteAnonymousUser now also blocks access to /delete-anonymous-user, in addition to stopping automatic deletion after account linking. Review this option if you rely on the new endpoint.

Written for commit 9c1b12faa9. Summary will update on new commits.
