Errors Ergonomics

Hello, two questions regarding Errors, Auth and Pagination Context: I use firebase authentication that I inject within my convex queries with the auth hook. So, at the end of the day, I get server-side the auth id of my users thanks to ctx.auth.getUserIdentity(). I used the approach to throw a ConvexError on the server if some query requests are not authenticated according to this doc. Problem: 1) It seems like the queries are still running when the JWT expires. So the queries throw an error because getUserIdentity returns undefined. I am not very used to auth, but wouldn't it be better that the convex auth hook in the client fetches a new JWT when the JWT is expired and goes to loading mode meanwhile? 2) When I hit an auth error, although that's not optimal, I decided to return "empty" values. Ever undefined for normal queries or an empty pagination response. I did it like below for pagination. However that still makes the UI crashes and convex servers are returning the following when my JWT expires:

Uncaught Error: InvalidCursor: Tried to run a query starting from a cursor, but it looks like this cursor is from a different query. at async handler (../convex/usersVisited.ts:107:17)

. Is there a convenient value that is exported from convex to model a generic empty pagination result?

let authId: string;
try {
  authId = await ensureAuthenticated(ctx);
} catch (error) {
  return await ctx.db
    .query('usersVisited')
    .withIndex('by_toUserId_count', q =>
      q.eq('toUserId', authId).gte('createdAt', 0).lt('createdAt', 0),
    )
    .order('desc')
    .paginate(args.paginationOpts);
}

const lowerBounds = ....
const upperBounds = ....
const visitors = await ctx.db
  .query('usersVisited')
  .withIndex('by_toUserId_count', q =>
    q
      .eq('toUserId', authId)
      .gte('createdAt', lowerBound)
      .lt('createdAt', upperBound),
  )
  .order('desc')
  .paginate(args.paginationOpts);

let authId: string;
try {
  authId = await ensureAuthenticated(ctx);
} catch (error) {
  return await ctx.db
    .query('usersVisited')
    .withIndex('by_toUserId_count', q =>
      q.eq('toUserId', authId).gte('createdAt', 0).lt('createdAt', 0),
    )
    .order('desc')
    .paginate(args.paginationOpts);
}

const lowerBounds = ....
const upperBounds = ....
const visitors = await ctx.db
  .query('usersVisited')
  .withIndex('by_toUserId_count', q =>
    q
      .eq('toUserId', authId)
      .gte('createdAt', lowerBound)
      .lt('createdAt', upperBound),
  )
  .order('desc')
  .paginate(args.paginationOpts);

Thanks in advance!
