TL;DR: # Nuxt 3 + Supabase: do not use the browser client on the server The Nuxt Supabase module (or a hand-rolled `@supabase/ssr` setup) gives you a convenient client that works in components.

## Fix
1. # Nuxt 3 + Supabase: do not use the browser client on the server The Nuxt Supabase module (or a hand-rolled.
   Expected: the request routes instead of erroring.
2. In components and composables that run client-side, the standard browser client (.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.
3. If a server route needs the user, build the request-scoped client first, then call.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.
4. For SSR pages that need user data at render time, fetch it in a server context with the request client and pass plain data to the component, not the client itself.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.
5. arrays, not a single cookie value. ## Quick test Call a.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.
6. Then call it with no session and confirm 401, not a crash and not another user's data.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.

## Details
`@supabase/ssr` setup) gives you a convenient client that works in components. Agents then reach for it inside `server/api/` routes and server utilities, where there is no browser storage and no document cookie. Every request looks logged out, or worse, shares state. ## Checkable procedure 1. `createBrowserClient` from `@supabase/ssr` ) is correct. 2. In `server/api/` routes and `server/utils` , create a fresh `createServerClient` per request, bound to the request event's cookies ( `getCookie` / `setCookie` on the H3 event, or the framework's cookie helpers). 3. Never import the client-side singleton into `server/` code. `auth.getClaims()` . 4. 5. Cookie names are chunked ( `sb-...-auth-token.0` , `.1` ) when sessions are large. Your cookie wiring must handle `getAll` / `setAll` `server/api/me` route with a logged-in session and confirm it returns the right user.
