TypeScript error with sveltekitCookies after updating to v1.3.4

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm experiencing a TypeScript error with the sveltekitCookies plugin, which seems like a regression after updating to the latest versions. I'm getting a type mismatch error when using sveltekitCookies(getRequestEvent): 
Argument of type '() => RequestEvent<LayoutParams<"/">, any>' is not assignable to parameter of type '() => RequestEvent<Partial<Record<string, string>>, string | null>'.
Argument of type '() => RequestEvent<LayoutParams<"/">, any>' is not assignable to parameter of type '() => RequestEvent<Partial<Record<string, string>>, string | null>'.
This started happening after updating to the latest version, which includes a change to sveltekitCookies (no longer requires a Promise). I guess i can use as any with a @ts-ignore comment for now, but I'm looking for the proper solution. I believe this error is triggered by TypeScript's strict flag. specifically, the strictNullChecks option. Is this a known breaking change in the recent version? Should the type signature be updated, or is there a different recommended approach? - Better-Auth version: ^1.3.4 - SvelteKit version: ^2.26.1 - Using TypeScript in strict mode - Have svelteKitHandler properly configured in hooks.server.ts - Need the plugin specifically for server action cookie handling Any guidance would be much appreciated! 🙏

Strange I am not getting this error, even tho when hovering over getRequestEvent I can see the same type as you have 🤔
But yea, the type seem to have changed/improved on svleteKit's side since 2.26.0 Also, I would recommend adding the comment // @ts-expect-error getRequestEvent type mismatches with what sveltekitCookies is expecting above the plugin line. This way if it ever gets fixed, the IDE will show you a red squiggly line underneath that comment and you can safely remove it then. Its a bit cleaner than casting with as any.

@Duki thanks for trying to help! my guess is that you don't have strict: true in your tsconfig.json...am i right?

i see...this is strange. in my case, when i set the strictNullChecks option to false - the error goes away.

I didnt have that in my tsconfig at all, but even when I set it to true I still don't get the error 🤔 weird 🙈

OK so it took me some time to figure out, but i think i now understand why this happens... due to recent changes in SvelteKit's type system, the RequestEvent parameters are now more strictly typed. for routes without parameters (like "/"), LayoutParams<"/"> can now be undefined, which doesn't satisfy the previous constraint Partial<Record<string, string>> (see commit https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/commit/a8cc450). as sveltekitCookies only uses event.cookies, i believe we should be able to update the RequestEvent type parameters to use any (RequestEvent<any, any> or something) . i will try my best to submit a PR later today🙏
