dashboard not loading in firefox

Hi, I tried disabling any adblocker extensions in firefox but still I am unable to open the convex dashboard in firefox. the console shows the following error Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://outgoing-panther-899.convex.cloud/api/1.18.2/sync. I'm now using google chrome without issues, probably something related to browser compatibility, firefox hasn't been in it's prime lately...

When to query data in a framework's loader vs a route component? Or imported component?

Coming from a Remix/RR7 background where basically all data fetching was done in the loader. Now I'm making headway in TanStack Start/Router and Convex and its slowly starting to click. Convex docs for TanStack always show doing a query in the route component, usually highlighting the reactivity for changes in the database which is great. My questions are, under what circumstances would one do the query in a loader/beforeLoad and when would one do it in the route component? When reactivity is needed is it only achieved in the route component? Can reactivity happen from an imported component that has a useQuery in its export? If one doesn't need reactivity is it better to query in the loader? Some of this has to do with the code splitting that TanStack does, keeping code securely processed on the server vs potentially exposed on the client. How that all works is one of the many ways my ignorance starts to show. Like anyone else, I want to keep safe the data that needs keeping safe, and also have the app do the work where it should be doing it (loader/component/route) and not mistakenly trying to make it do it one way when it only works the other....

Preferred method for saving formatted text in string fields?

It's still early days for me in Convex and my app. For now I need to display a block of text made up of a number of paragraphs. What is the secret sauce to copy/paste into a string field and maintain paragraphs? Eventually I will be building something more sophisticated with TipTap or similar. For now, I'd like this block to have some paragraph breaks. I tried \r and \n thinking it might interpret those but it doesn't seem to.

TypeScript not Inferring Query `handler` Type Correctly

Hey everyone, I'm trying to "JOIN" some data in my query in order to include the creator directly in my response. However, it seems like TypeScript isn't able to properly infer the handler's return type even with excessive type hints:```ts export const find = query({ args: { paginationOpts: paginationOptsValidator, filter: v.optional(...

Passing args to dev --run

Is it possible to pass args to a mutation called via the --run flag for convex dev? I'd like to modify how an init script runs based on additional cli args, instead of needed to write several different init scripts.
