🔒 Auth secret may be undefined #283

Description

Location: authConfig


What's wrong

The auth configuration uses secret: process.env.AUTH_SECRET, which can be undefined if the environment variable is not set, leading to insecure token signing or runtime errors.

Suggested fix

Validate that AUTH_SECRET is defined at startup and throw a clear error if missing, e.g.

if (!process.env.AUTH_SECRET) {
  throw new Error("AUTH_SECRET environment variable is required for authentication");
}
const authConfig: AuthConfig = {
  secret: process.env.AUTH_SECRET,
  // ...rest of config
};
