ContextHttpClient, setAuth, cannot get user from ctx

So im trying to call a query from the http client, and this query will need to be auth because we want to access ctx.getIdentity inside.

    const convexHttpClient = new ConvexHttpClient(
      process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL!,

    );

   convexHttpClient.setAuth(config.authToken); // good token with template: "convex" that works when calling httpAction
    

    const decks = await convexHttpClient.query(api.decks.list, {
      organizationId: config.organizationId || null,
    }); 
// ERROR inside the deck list query : const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity(); is NULL, expecting user 

    return decks;

    const convexHttpClient = new ConvexHttpClient(
      process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL!,

    );

   convexHttpClient.setAuth(config.authToken); // good token with template: "convex" that works when calling httpAction
    

    const decks = await convexHttpClient.query(api.decks.list, {
      organizationId: config.organizationId || null,
    }); 
// ERROR inside the deck list query : const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity(); is NULL, expecting user 

    return decks;

It seems that setAuth do nothing, how do I access ctx inside my deck.list query to have the user identity

Bug in httpAction, Authorization Bearer not working. Identity is null

Hello, im having the same trouble with auth through an http action On the documentation https://docs.convex.dev/auth/functions-auth#http-actions it says that if I put an Authorization token then ctx.auth.getUserIndentity should return the user, however this is broken. Seems like it get stripped because its not even visible in the preflight I'm using clerk as auth provider if that helps.

  const token = useAuthToken();
  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchData = async () => {
      const response = await fetch(`${CONVEX_SITE_URL}/api/chat`, {
        method: "POST",
        body: JSON.stringify({ messages: [] }),
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
        },
      });
      console.log(response);
    };
    fetchData();
  }, [token]);

  const token = useAuthToken();
  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchData = async () => {
      const response = await fetch(`${CONVEX_SITE_URL}/api/chat`, {
        method: "POST",
        body: JSON.stringify({ messages: [] }),
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
        },
      });
      console.log(response);
    };
    fetchData();
  }, [token]);

http.route({
  path: "/api/chat",
  method: "OPTIONS",
  handler: httpAction(async (ctx, request) => {
    console.log("ctx auth", await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity()); // NULL

    // Make sure the necessary headers are present
    // for this to be a valid pre-flight request
    const headers = request.headers;
    console.log("headers", JSON.stringify(headers, null, 2)); // Dont show the authorization header even
    return headers.get("Origin") !== null &&
      headers.get("Access-Control-Request-Method") !== null &&
      headers.get("Access-Control-Request-Headers") !== null
      ? new Response(null, {
          headers: new Headers({
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "POST",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Content-Type, Digest",
            "Access-Control-Max-Age": "86400",
            Vary: "origin",
          }),
        })
      : new Response();
  }),
});

How to cascade delete an entity and all references to it in other entities

given a schema like this :

    modules: defineTable({
      name: v.string(),
      documentIds: v.array(v.id("documents")),
    })
    documents: defineTable({
      name: v.string(),
      content: v.optional(v.string()),
    })

    modules: defineTable({
      name: v.string(),
      documentIds: v.array(v.id("documents")),
    })
    documents: defineTable({
      name: v.string(),
      content: v.optional(v.string()),
    })

How do should I proceed to have the documentIds automatically removed from the modules when a document is deleted ? I could add a call to the db in the document:delete query so it update the associated modules but I wonder if there is something more robust like a cascading option somewhere like in postgres
