Research direction

Start by tracing the auth.admin.generateLink entry point and its handling of the options.redirectTo value in the Go auth service. Reproduce the magiclink request with the supplied localhost URLs, then verify that the generated link and redirect_to use the provided value rather than the default site URL.

Bug report

Describe the bug

I am using auth.admin.generateLink with type magiclink in an edge function and passing the redirectTo param.
However the generated link does not respect the provided redirectTo param and returns the site url.

To Reproduce

 const { data: linkData, error: linkError } =
    await supabaseClient.auth.admin.generateLink({
      type: "magiclink",
      email: email,
      options: {
        data: {
          orga: orga_id,
        },
        redirectTo: "http://localhost:3000/confirm",
      },
    });

After triggering the edge function locally this is the response:

[Info] [Generated link: ] http://127.0.0.1:54321/auth/v1/verify?token=9cdd921dc47c0e1b136f3659e6926f45697209047abc95d7964efb67&type=magiclink&redirect_to=http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/login

[Info] [Generated linkdata: ] {
  action_link: "http://127.0.0.1:54321/auth/v1/verify?token=9cdd921dc47c0e1b136f3659e6926f45697209047abc95d7964efb67"... 60 more characters,
  email_otp: "275123",
  hashed_token: "9cdd921dc47c0e1b136f3659e6926f45697209047abc95d7964efb67",
  redirect_to: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/login",
  verification_type: "magiclink"
}

Expected behavior

redirect_to should be set to the param provided (http://localhost:3000/confirm) instead of http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/login
