Convex Auth on the server?

I'm using Convex Auth, Convex Ents, and TanStack Start.

I want to be able to take advantage of the
beforeLoad
beforeLoad
method of each route to redirect unauthenticated users as it's wasteful and prone to security leaks if I rely sole on the Authenticated and Unathenticated components as people have been suggesting here.

Now I get that sessions are managed in localstorage, and it's a tall order to validate that on the server (wouldn't be a problem if you used cookies instead), but is there a plan to be able to let us get the auth status of a user on the server? There's already a way to use Convex calls on the server, so surely there's a way to check if a user is authenticated or not?

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
