Summary

  • Advanced Next.js patterns for authentication, middleware, Server Actions, and user-scoped caching with Clerk.
  • Distinguishes server-side await auth() from client-side useAuth() hook; mixing them is a common breaking mistake Covers middleware strategies (public-first vs protected-first), API route protection, and proper HTTP status codes (401 vs 403) Includes user-scoped caching patterns with unstable_cache and protecting Server Actions from unauthorized mutations Provides Core 2 compatibility notes throughout; check package.json for SDK version and follow version-specific guidance on isAuthenticated , sessionStatus , and component APIs
