Problem
The validateUser function in src/lib/auth.ts uses as any when returning API responses, completely bypassing TypeScript's type checking:
Risk
If the external API returns malformed data (missing userid or name), it silently passes through and crashes later during JWT generation:
What I have Implemented
Benefits
Now malformed responses are caught immediately and fail gracefully instead of causing undefined crashes.
Type Safety: TypeScript properly validates return types
Fail Fast: Invalid API responses caught at validation, not during JWT creation
Better DX: IDE autocomplete works correctly, safer refactoring
