Description
I was reading the parse cloud code docs on this part and saw :
The user is not available on the request object - the user has not yet been provided a session until after beforeLogin is successfully completed
And after doing some tests, I realized that this information was incomplete, because I got this as answer:

Another information that can be considered relevant is that parse user object is not the original request one, but the one from database and I don't know why, and i think this cloudCode run beforeSave ParseUser.
I checked the code and couldn't really understand the code, since I'm a newbie 🤣. but I would like to know if what I perceived proceeds.

Read the linked Cloud Code guide's “Some considerations to be aware of” section first, then reproduce the reported beforeLogin behavior and compare it with the current wording. Done means documenting the confirmed request and user-object behavior, including whether the beforeSave timing belongs in this explanation.
