Clarify that enableSessionForAPIKeys creates mock sessions (not real database-stored sessions) with important limitations: - Mock sessions don't include dynamically computed properties - Admin plugin's adminUserIds won't set role to admin in mock sessions - Plugin hooks may not fire as expected - Security risk if API key is leaked Added detailed documentation explaining how mock sessions work, their limitations, and guidance on when to use this feature vs alternatives. Closes #7312

About the Project
Better Auth is framework-agnostic authentication (and authorization) library for TypeScript. It provides a comprehensive set of features out of the box and includes a plugin ecosystem that simplifies adding advanced functionalities with minimal code in a short amount of time. Whether you need 2FA, multi-tenant support, or other complex features. It lets you focus on building your actual application instead of reinventing the wheel.
Why Better Auth
Authentication in the TypeScript ecosystem is a half-solved problem. Other open-source libraries often require a lot of additional code for anything beyond basic authentication. Rather than just pushing third-party services as the solution, I believe we can do better as a community—hence, Better Auth.
