Thanks for the report! It looks like to me that this is a breaking change introduced by Jose 6. I’ll confirm that the change is necessary and update the docs
It looks like our docs aren’t asking developers to install Jose, as @bastianwegge pointed out in https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1349429081153732668/1349429081153732668). I think they might have been written under the assumption that you would get an indirect dependency on Jose 5 from installing @convex-dev/auth but I agree this isn’t ideal (and breaks if you’re using Jose 6). I’ll try to figure out what we should do here
Merged a docs update that addresses this for manual install: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-auth/pull/191
