Auth.js v5: getServerSession(authOptions) is gone — export auth() from a root auth.ts and call await auth()

next-auth@5next@15next@16#nextauth#authjs#nextjs#session#migration
Fix
// auth.ts (project root)
import NextAuth from "next-auth"
import GitHub from "next-auth/providers/github"
export const { auth, handlers, signIn, signOut } = NextAuth({ providers: [GitHub] })

// app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts
import { handlers } from "@/auth"
export const { GET, POST } = handlers

- import { authOptions } from "pages/api/auth/[...nextauth]"
- import { getServerSession } from "next-auth/next"
+ import { auth } from "@/auth"
- const session = await getServerSession(authOptions)
+ const session = await auth()

Pages Router: await auth(req, res) in API routes, await auth(context) in getServerSideProps. Passing res rotates the session expiry.

Symptom

Code 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.

Cause

NextAuth 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.

Verify

Run 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.
