Inconsistent onStateChange docs

❓type: question

https://www.rivet.dev/docs/actors/lifecycle#on-state-change says

onStateChange

onStateChange

cannot be async while https://www.rivet.dev/docs/actors/design-patterns#syncing-state-changes gives this example:

  onStateChange: async (c, newState) => {
    // Sync any state changes to database
    await db.users.update(c.id, {
      email: newState.email,
      lastActive: newState.lastActive,
    });
  },

  onStateChange: async (c, newState) => {
    // Sync any state changes to database
    await db.users.update(c.id, {
      email: newState.email,
      lastActive: newState.lastActive,
    });
  },

The API reference link for onstatechange goes to https://www.rivet.dev/typedoc/interfaces/rivetkit.mod.ActorDefinition.html, which doesn't seem related?
