getAuthUserId() Returns Null Despite Successful OAuth Sign-In

Issue: getAuthUserId(ctx)getAuthUserId(ctx) returns nullnull in all backend queries/mutations, even though OAuth sign-in succeeds and creates a valid session.

Environment:
- @convex-dev/auth@convex-dev/auth: ^0.0.90
- Auth provider: Google OAuth

What Works:
-

OAuth sign-in completes
-

Session created in authSessionsauthSessions table
-

JWT stored in browser localStorage

What Doesn't Work:
-

getAuthUserId(ctx)getAuthUserId(ctx) returns nullnull
-

ctx.auth._tokenctx.auth._token is undefinedundefined (JWT not sent with requests)

Code:

Frontend (with useConvexAuthuseConvexAuth):

const { isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useConvexAuth();
const userProfile = useQuery(api.users.getCurrentUserProfile, isAuthenticated ? {} : "skip");

const { isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useConvexAuth();
const userProfile = useQuery(api.users.getCurrentUserProfile, isAuthenticated ? {} : "skip");

Backend:

export const getCurrentUserProfile = query({
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);  // Returns null!
    if (userId === null) return null;
    return await ctx.db.get(userId);
  },
});

export const getCurrentUserProfile = query({
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);  // Returns null!
    if (userId === null) return null;
    return await ctx.db.get(userId);
  },
});

Logs:

[auth:store] type: verifyCodeAndSignIn ✅
[getCurrentUserProfile] userId: null ❌

What We've Tried:
- Implemented useConvexAuth()useConvexAuth() to wait for isAuthenticated: trueisAuthenticated: true before calling queries
- Verified JWT exists in localStorage
- Cleared all sessions and signed in fresh multiple times
- Used getAuthUserId()getAuthUserId() from @convex-dev/auth/server@convex-dev/auth/server

Our auth.config.ts has domain: process.env.CONVEX_SITE_URLdomain: process.env.CONVEX_SITE_URL which may be undefined. Could this be blocking JWT validation? How should we properly configure authentication?
