Python not available for node-gyp compilation of native addons

I'm trying to include a npm dependency which requires a compilation step. When deploying this, I'm getting an error saying that python is not available. Is native addon compilation not allowed? If not, how can I work around this?

Is auth context passed to scheduled actions from server side queries/mutations?

I'm calling an action within a server side mutation using:

    await ctx.scheduler.runAfter(
      0,
      api.test.testFn,
      testData,
    );

    await ctx.scheduler.runAfter(
      0,
      api.test.testFn,
      testData,
    );

However when trying to retrieve the userIdentity within the action via:

    const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();

    const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();

It returns null. Is the auth context only passed to the action when the action is called directly from the client? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm using Convex Auth btw.

Supported in China?

Does Convex work within China's Great Firewall? I'm currently using Firebase for one of my apps and that's a no-go due to their restrictions on Google. Is there any reports of whether apps built with Convex work without a VPN there and if not, are there workarounds to support this? I know more raw solutions using a traditional API architecture we could easily find a solution, but the unique way that Convex approaches things seem like it might not be. We would really love to adopt Convex for our upcoming project but being able to support users in China is a big priority.
