Unconventional Authentication Implementation

I have an interesting client and one of his specifications is that he wants to keep users of the platform completely anonymous, but we still need a way to identify them, but without knowing their personal details. So he wants to use phone numbers to authenticate them and they encrypt the phone number in the database I don't really know how to go about implementing this with convex. The 2 ideas I have are: 1. To use the Lucia implementation to create a custom auth flow - but lucia is deprecated so I have to find the equivalent. 2. To use the anonymous sign in option in convex auth and tweek the CAPTCHA verification to instead use phone verification - but that's a stretch This is as far as I've gotten so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be helpful. Thank you

Error handling in query functions

Sometimes, when I write queries, I want to check if the user is authorized to reach that endpoint and if not I want to throw an error back to the user. But, I don't want this error to completely hijack the ui like it normally does, like with an error boundary. Sometimes, I just, say, want an additional UI to show up with the option for the user to sign in I simply would like to have back the diversity of errors that regular http requests offer. I'm torn on how I'm supposed to implement errors for authentication, or authorization or some other error, and send that back to the frontend

Database Structure Help

Hey I need a little help trying to structure my database. I'm making a tenant management app. There are multiple managers and each manager can create multiple properties and add one tenant per property. There is a page that allows the manager to view all his tenants but for that to work I need to get all their properties and then get all the tenants under each property It feels really tedieous and I was wondering if there is a smarter more proper way to do this I feel like the tenant should also have a manager_id field but I don't know if that's how it should be done The tree normally looks like manager -> property -> tenant but now it's make it manager-> property -> tenant but also manager -> tenant

Error: `headers` was called outside a request scope.

I recently switched devices and I wanted to continue working on my project. So I pulled all the code from github and ran convex dev. Everything seemed to be working find and even the env's got filled in as well. This project is currently running in production on vercel so I know it works. But when I try to run it I keep getting this error

Error: `headers` was called outside a request scope. Read more: https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/next-dynamic-api-wrong-context

After some debugging. I've norrowed down the problem to be in the convexAuthNextjsMiddleware. I cleared my previous middleware and copy pasted the default middleware and still the same error. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'll appreciate any help I could get. Thank you.

nextjs handling server-side errors in error page

I'm using Nextjs, and I've setup a catch all error page to handle all errors, I've set it up to show formatted convex Errors if it's instanceof ConvexError see code below:

"use client";

import ...

export default function Error({
  error,
}: {
  error:
    | ConvexError<{ title: string; body: string }>
    | (Error & { digest?: string });
}) {
  ...
  if (error instanceof ConvexError)
    return (
      <AnimatedGroup
        preset="blur-slide"
        className="flex flex-col px-10 justify-center items-center flex-1 gap-2"
      >
        <div className="p-4 rounded-full text-red-700 bg-red-100">
          <CircleAlert className="size-6" />
        </div>
        <div className="text-center">
          <h2 className="font-bold">{error.data.title}</h2>
          <p className="text-muted-foreground">{error.data.body}</p>
        </div>
      </AnimatedGroup>
    );
    ...
  );
}

"use client";

import ...

export default function Error({
  error,
}: {
  error:
    | ConvexError<{ title: string; body: string }>
    | (Error & { digest?: string });
}) {
  ...
  if (error instanceof ConvexError)
    return (
      <AnimatedGroup
        preset="blur-slide"
        className="flex flex-col px-10 justify-center items-center flex-1 gap-2"
      >
        <div className="p-4 rounded-full text-red-700 bg-red-100">
          <CircleAlert className="size-6" />
        </div>
        <div className="text-center">
          <h2 className="font-bold">{error.data.title}</h2>
          <p className="text-muted-foreground">{error.data.body}</p>
        </div>
      </AnimatedGroup>
    );
    ...
  );
}

This works fine when the error comes from client side, but it completely breaks for server side requests like fetchQuery. I've looked through the docs and this is not addressed at all.

{
  "stack": "ConvexError: [Request ID: f159ead0758d53c7] Server Error\nUncaught ConvexError: {\"title\":\"Access denied\",\"body\":\"You do not have access to this store\"}...",
  "digest": "1811788005"
}

{
  "stack": "ConvexError: [Request ID: f159ead0758d53c7] Server Error\nUncaught ConvexError: {\"title\":\"Access denied\",\"body\":\"You do not have access to this store\"}...",
  "digest": "1811788005"
}

here's the error. As you can see it's not the usual that has the data key. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks
