Which identifier generator library to use for message channel and threads?

1) I am building a Discord-like messaging experience. For servers, channel, threads, etc. it appears that Discord uses Snowflake IDs, 18-integer long numeric values. What would you recommend for a Convex project? It seems that for a single Convex project, IDs that are unique over distributed database nodes is not important, but sort-ability and query performance are important.
If I wanted to keep my programming efforts really simple, I could simply use a _id field values themselves, but 32-characters is a lot of characters to put in URLs, especially when multiple resources are involved. ...

Confusing errors on db.patch calls inside mutation

Hi, I'm making some changes to handle a new webhook event and started seeing errors when my mutation is called. The errors complain about missing required fields when calling db.patch:

Uncaught Error: Failed to insert or update a document in table "externalPayment" because it does not match the schema: Object is missing the required field `status`. Consider wrapping the field validator in `v.optional(...)` if this is expected.

NODE_ENV always equates to 'development'

There must be something I don't know since NODE_ENV always equates to 'development' regardless of its value. In "use node" functions it works as expected. This happens both in convex development and production environments.
