Issues with Clerk Auth and NextJS 16
🔑Auth
Hi. I am trying to setup a Convex project using NextJS 16 with Clerk for the auth layer. I have followed the following tutorial verbatim (https://docs.convex.dev/auth/clerk#nextjs) but it does not seem to work.
When I load my home page I see the sign in button, I click it, create and account/login it loads for a second and returns me to the home page but instead of seeing the "Hello" message I put inside of the <Authenticated> tags I just see the sign in button again.
I have been through the debugging guide and checked the websocket for the Authenticated status (https://docs.convex.dev/auth/debug#step-2-check-whether-authentication-works-on-the-frontend), I see no such message indicating the auth was successful.
There are no errors in my console or the logs in the Convex dashboard.
My conclusion is that I am missing something but like I said at the beginning, I followed the tutorial verbatim.
The setup related code can be found here if you want to have a look:

Has anyone else run into this issue recently? This is not my first time adding auth with Clerk to a Convex project but this time the steps where different, mainly instead of adding a JWT template is seems to have changed to a "Convex integration", also mentions of webhooks to add users to the Convex side of things where not mentioned.
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.
