To reproduce the TRPC issue, just open the app. Inside terminal you'll see that the server request fails. Upon refresh, the data loads client side, but server request fails again.

To reproduce Clerk's auth() function returning empty AuthObject:

1. Comment out if (!isPublicRoute(req)) auth().protect(); line in middleware.ts
2. Add console.log(ctx.auth) to the fist line of isAuthorized function in trpc/api/trpc.ts.
