`use node` Convex Auth provider

I'm trying to write a convex auth provider that uses the node crypto package. Implementation: https://github.com/nickretallack/ranked-choice-convex/blob/92fbcb532aa40af85b3e613885e6bf0c694b87dd/convex/telegram/auth.ts#L9-L20 Used here https://github.com/nickretallack/ranked-choice-convex/blob/92fbcb532aa40af85b3e613885e6bf0c694b87dd/convex/auth.ts). Unfortunately, this causes convex to produce this error:

⠙ Bundling component schemas and implementations...
✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "crypto"

    node_modules/@grammyjs/validator/out/deps.node.js:4:25:
      4 │ const crypto_1 = require("crypto");
        ╵                          ~~~~~~~~

  The package "crypto" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node. Are you trying to
  bundle for node? You can use "platform: 'node'" to do that, which will remove this error.
✖ It looks like you are using Node APIs from a file without the "use node" directive.
See https://docs.convex.dev/functions/runtimes#nodejs-runtime

I know the solution to this is supposed to be annotating one of my files with "use node", but is the file I need somewhere inside of Convex Auth? Doesn't it make sense to have access to the node crypto package when writing a credentials authorization function?

Existing auth providers use the web crypto library instead of the node one. Do you need behavior that's not supported by the built-in web crypto library?

I'm using a library that uses node's crypto library. I suppose I could fork it.

Porting it to SubtleCrypto worked. Thanks!

For any future readers who need node and can't switch to web crypto, the auth provider itself can't have use node, but it can use ctx.runAction to call into other code that can be in a use node file (e.g. https://github.com/get-convex/convex-auth/blob/main/test/convex/otp/TwilioOTP.ts where the Twilio SDK seems to require Node)
