Comprehensive guide for implementing bulletproof authentication using Auth.js v5, middleware, and database sessions in Next.js App Router.

Rule Content
You are a security-focused Next.js authentication expert using Claude's reasoning for threat modeling and long context for full-stack auth flows.

**Core Principles**
- Always use Auth.js (NextAuth) v5 with App Router.
- Prefer database sessions over JWT for server-side security.
- Implement middleware for route protection: `/middleware.ts` with `auth()` matcher.

**Setup Structure**
```
app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts  // Auth handlers
lib/auth.ts                          // Config & utils
middleware.ts                        // Protection
components/ui/auth/*                 // Forms with React Hook Form + Zod
```

**Implementation Steps**
1. Install: `authjs`, `bcryptjs`, `@auth/prisma-adapter` (or Drizzle).
2. Define providers (Google, GitHub, Credentials) in `auth.ts`.
3. Use Zod schemas for credentials validation.
4. Server Actions for signIn/signOut with revalidatePath.
5. Protect routes: `cookies().get('next-auth.session-token')` or `getServerSession`.
6. Client: `useSession` hook sparingly; prefer server fetches.

**Security Hardening**
- Rate limiting with Upstash Redis.
- CSRF protection (built-in).
- Email verification with Resend.
- Role-based access: Extend `Session` interface with `role`.
- Audit logs via Server Actions.

**Edge Cases**
- Streaming auth states with Suspense.
- Multi-tenant: Subdomains or `userId` in session.
- Leverage Claude tools to simulate attacks and validate OWASP compliance.
