Description

https://github.com/markbates/goth/blob/f4685f5f6edf65de920b6c6c03fc1ffabcb88e68/gothic/gothic.go#L180

`func CompleteUserAuth`
In this function, why is there a defer to Logout?

---
I've been trying to figure out why my use of gothic is returning a cookie (`_gothic_session`) with an expires of `"1970-01-01T00:00:01.000Z"`.

Research direction

Start with gothic/gothic.go at the linked CompleteUserAuth function and inspect the deferred Logout behavior alongside the reported _gothic_session expiry. Document why Logout is deferred and clarify how that behavior relates to the cookie expiration, so the function's intent is understandable to users.
