zenstack-authenticated-db-params

To fix TypeScript circular reference errors with an authenticated ZenStack db client, introduce a local AuthenticatedDB type alias derived from the base client's ReturnType<typeof db.$setAuth> and apply it consistently across utility function signatures and callers.

To propagate the authenticated ZenStack database context through server actions, import the base db client, derive the AuthenticatedDB type, and pass the auth.db instance through utility functions and transactions to maintain access control enforcement.

The AuthenticatedDB type in ZenStack is a local type alias derived from the base db client using ReturnType<typeof db.$setAuth>. You need it when utilities require access-controlled database instances and server actions must pass the authenticated db context.

Yes, you can use ZenStack access control with Better Auth in utility functions by deriving a callable AuthenticatedDB type from the base ZenStack client and updating function signatures to accept the authenticated database instance as a parameter.

Your ZenStack db client breaks type safety due to circular dependencies when passing the authenticated instance directly. Resolve this by creating a local AuthenticatedDB type alias and consistently applying it to function signatures and call sites.

The best way to type an authenticated ZenStack database parameter for server actions is to derive a local AuthenticatedDB type using ReturnType<typeof db.$setAuth> from the base client, breaking circular references while preserving access control enforcement.
