[bug] Auth-optional components trigger UNAUTHORIZED errors #3051
Description
Components where auth should be optional call auth-required endpoints which trigger runtime auth errors.
Components where auth should be optional:
- telemetry provider (wraps both marketing and logged in app)
- top bar auth button
- pricing table
relevant protectedProcedure endpoints:
user.getsubscription.get
We could modify protectedProcedure to allow a null ctx.user but that would require adding null checks to existing endpoints.
Instead, I think the cleanest solution is to make a new procedure and endpoints for components where auth is optional could be added. For example, we could create a new procedure (e.g. optionalAuthProcedure) that allows null ctx.user and similar endpoints (user.getOptional, etc.) that return null for unauthenticated users instead of throwing.
