hono with better-auth

It should be a pretty straightforward setup, all I'm trying to do here is get the basic authentication working with better auth, I have the schema generated and everything but I keep having issues actually hitting the /api/auth routes. Any idea why this might be an issue? This is my setup: => app.ts 
const app = createApp();

initializeLeaderboardRoutes(container.leaderboardController);
initializeHealthRoutes(container.healthController);
initializePlayerRoutes(container.playersController);

configureOpenAPI(app);


const routes = [
  indexRoute,
  leaderboardRoutes,
  healthRoutes,
  playerRoutes,
];

routes.forEach((route) => {
  app.route("/v1", route);
});

app.all('/api/auth/**', async (c) => {
  const res = await auth.handler(c.req.raw)
  return res
})

export default app;
const app = createApp();

initializeLeaderboardRoutes(container.leaderboardController);
initializeHealthRoutes(container.healthController);
initializePlayerRoutes(container.playersController);

configureOpenAPI(app);


const routes = [
  indexRoute,
  leaderboardRoutes,
  healthRoutes,
  playerRoutes,
];

routes.forEach((route) => {
  app.route("/v1", route);
});

app.all('/api/auth/**', async (c) => {
  const res = await auth.handler(c.req.raw)
  return res
})

export default app;
=> auth.ts 
import db from "@/infrastructure/database";
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle";
export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: "pg",
  }),
  emailAndPassword: { enabled: true },
});
import db from "@/infrastructure/database";
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle";
export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: "pg",
  }),
  emailAndPassword: { enabled: true },
});

Also its important to note that the 404 response I'm getting is actually from the better-auth handler not my hono app.

Hi! Unless I'm reading your logs incorrectly, from your screenshot it looks like you're testing this by sending a GET request to /api/auth? I don't think the base endpoint has any functionality with better auth - what happens if you try POST /api/auth/sign-up/email like in the docs?

I actually figured that out yes, when I hit sign up and sign in it actually work (POST), but doesn't better auth provide like GET requests? /session for example? I tried GET /api/auth/session that also gave me 404

try GET /api/auth/get-session

Well apparently I was not that smart, it works yeah.

haha the better auth docs are pretty opaque when it comes to explaining what endpoints their built in client helper is actually calling - I can't find /get-session actually anywhere in the docs - it's only here I found it
