Deprecate `createRouteMatcher()` in favor of resource-based auth checks.

Instead of protecting routes only from middleware, move auth checks into each protected Astro page, API route, or server-side handler:

```ts
import type { APIRoute } from 'astro';

export const GET: APIRoute = ({ locals }) => {
const { userId } = locals.auth();

if (!userId) {
return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
}

return Response.json({ userId });
};
```

Deprecate `createRouteMatcher()` in favor of resource-based auth checks.

Instead of protecting routes only from middleware, move auth checks into each protected Astro page, API route, or server-side handler:

```ts
import type { APIRoute } from 'astro';

export const GET: APIRoute = ({ locals }) => {
 const { userId } = locals.auth();

 if (!userId) {
 return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
 }

 return Response.json({ userId });
};

Deprecate `createRouteMatcher()` in favor of resource-based auth checks.

Instead of protecting routes only from middleware, move auth checks into each protected Astro page, API route, or server-side handler:

```ts
import type { APIRoute } from 'astro';

 * You can use glob patterns to match multiple routes or a function to match against the request object.
 * Path patterns and regular expressions are supported, for example: `['/foo', '/bar(.*)'] or `[/^\/foo\/.*$/]`
 * For more information, see: https://clerk.com/docs

 * @deprecated This function will be removed in the next major version. Use resource-based auth checks instead.
 * Move auth checks into each Astro page, API route, or server-side handler that accesses protected data.
 * Middleware-based auth checks rely on path matching, which can diverge from how Astro routes requests and
 * leave protected resources reachable.

 * Instead of protecting routes only from middleware, protect the resource itself:

 * import type { APIRoute } from 'astro';
 *
 * export const GET: APIRoute = ({ locals }) => {
 * const { userId } = locals.auth();
 *
 * if (!userId) {

Add an explicit return type for the exported API.
createRouteMatcher is exported but currently relies on inference. Please add an explicit function return type on Line 35 to keep the public surface unambiguous.

exported createRouteMatcher API currently relies on inferred return type, which
makes the public contract less explicit. Add an explicit return type to
createRouteMatcher and ensure it matches the function returned by
createPathMatcher, keeping the exported matcher signature clear and stable for
consumers.
