    "title": "Auth.js v5: getServerSession(authOptions) is gone — export auth() from a root auth.ts and call await auth()",
    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nCode written for NextAuth v4 (`import { getServerSession } from \"next-auth/next\"`, `getServerSession(authOptions)`, `getToken({ req })` from `next-auth/jwt`, `export { default } from \"next-auth/middleware\"`) does not fit a project on `next-auth@5` (Auth.js). The v5 guide says `next-auth/next` and `next-auth/middleware` are replaced.\n\n## Cause\nNextAuth v5 is a rewrite on `@auth/core`. Instead of passing `authOptions` around, you call `NextAuth()` once in a root config file. It returns `{ handlers, auth, signIn, signOut }`, and that one `auth()` function replaces `getServerSession`, `getToken`, `withAuth` and `useSession` on the server. The minimum Next.js version is 14.0.\n\n## Fix\n```ts\n// auth.ts (project root)\nimport NextAuth from \"next-auth\"\nimport GitHub from \"next-auth/providers/github\"\nexport const { auth, handlers, signIn, signOut } = NextAuth({ providers: [GitHub] })\n```\n```ts\n// app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts\nimport { handlers } from \"@/auth\"\nexport const { GET, POST } = handlers\n```\n```diff\n- import { authOptions } from \"pages/api/auth/[...nextauth]\"\n- import { getServerSession } from \"next-auth/next\"\n+ import { auth } from \"@/auth\"\n- const session = await getServerSession(authOptions)\n+ const session = await auth()\n```\nPages Router: `await auth(req, res)` in API routes, `await auth(context)` in getServerSideProps. Passing `res` rotates the session expiry.\n\n## Verify\nRun `grep -rn \"getServerSession\\|next-auth/next\\|next-auth/jwt\" src app pages`; it should return nothing. Then sign in and check that `await auth()` in a Server Component returns the session.\n\n## Sources\n- https://registry.npmjs.org/next-auth (5.0.0-beta.0 published 2023-10-24; still on the beta tag in Oct 2026)\n- https://authjs.dev/getting-started/migrating-to-v5",
