having a weird type error on the `email` index on user

for some reason on users table when i try to query on the index email i'm getting Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'error. here's my user schema:

  users: defineTable({
    firstName: v.string(),
    lastName: v.string(),
    name: v.string(),
    email: v.string(),
    status: v.optional(v.union(v.literal('active'), v.literal('invited'), v.literal('disabled'))),
  }).index('email', ['email']),

  users: defineTable({
    firstName: v.string(),
    lastName: v.string(),
    name: v.string(),
    email: v.string(),
    status: v.optional(v.union(v.literal('active'), v.literal('invited'), v.literal('disabled'))),
  }).index('email', ['email']),

and i have this query:

      const existingUser = await ctx.db
        .query('users')
        .withIndex('email', (q) => q.eq('email', args.profile.email))
        .unique();

      const existingUser = await ctx.db
        .query('users')
        .withIndex('email', (q) => q.eq('email', args.profile.email))
        .unique();

i'm getting type error on the index field for whatever reason. any help would be appreciated.

okay, this is because i was querying the user from within the convexAuth under the createOrUpdateUsercallback. i only needed to move it to a model and all good. learning new thing every day with convex. convex is heavily opinionated and i like it but please make documentation robust as well. it's nowhere explained clearly or atleast i couldn't find such pattern
