Database Hooks `before.create` Has Undefined Context

How is the context populated in the database before create hook? Taken from example here https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/database#1-before-hook Code snippet below: 
databaseHooks: {
  session: {
    create: {
      before: async (session, context) => {
        // context is always undefined here

        return {
          data: session
        }
      },
    }
  }
},
databaseHooks: {
  session: {
    create: {
      before: async (session, context) => {
        // context is always undefined here

        return {
          data: session
        }
      },
    }
  }
},

It depends on how a given session was created, in some cases there can be no ctx.

Yeah I see the parameter type as GenericEndpointContext | undefined. I'm trying to get the context during signup with oauth in the /callback/:id path.

I see, I'll look into the source code and see if I can add ctx.

chiming in here, as I have a similar issue: i'm trying to access the context object and use internalAdapter.deleteSessions to manually revoke other session. But context is always coming back as null. code for reference: 
    databaseHooks: {
        session: {
            create: {
                after: async( session, context ) => {                    
                    const allSessions = await context?.context.internalAdapter.listSessions(session.userId);
                    const sessionIdsToDelete = allSessions ? allSessions.map(s => s.id).filter(id => id !== session.id) : undefined;
                    if( sessionIdsToDelete ) {
                        await context
context?.context.internalAdapter.deleteSessions(sessionIdsToDelete);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
    databaseHooks: {
        session: {
            create: {
                after: async( session, context ) => {                    
                    const allSessions = await context?.context.internalAdapter.listSessions(session.userId);
                    const sessionIdsToDelete = allSessions ? allSessions.map(s => s.id).filter(id => id !== session.id) : undefined;
                    if( sessionIdsToDelete ) {
                        await context
context?.context.internalAdapter.deleteSessions(sessionIdsToDelete);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
