Description

When testing the auth/local example I noticed that the redirectTo is not working properly, I
figured that the useAuth().redirectTo value gets cleared before being used.

  await $fetch("/api/auth/login", {
    method: "POST",
    body: {
      email: email,
      password: password,
    },
  });
  useAuth().redirectTo.value = null; // <-- this line
  await useAuth().updateSession();
  await navigateTo(useAuth().redirectTo.value || "/");

So the null value could maybe be set after the navigateTo call, or can possibly omitted at all, as it gets set from the auth middleware anyway.

Else, great example, thanks for sharing!

Research direction

Start in the auth/local example and trace the login flow around the shown redirectTo reset, updateSession call, and navigateTo call. Verify that the redirectTo value remains available through session updates and that navigation uses the intended destination; the issue is done when the example redirects correctly after login.
