How do you access a user's identity through a query?

Context Myapp is configured to use usernameAndPassword auth method.

app TodoApp {
  wasp: {
    version: "^0.16.3"
  },
  title: "TodoApp",
  auth: {
    // Tells Wasp which entity to use for storing users.
    userEntity: User,
    methods: {
      // Enable username and password auth.
      usernameAndPassword: {}
    },
    // We'll see how this is used in a bit.
    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
  }
}

app TodoApp {
  wasp: {
    version: "^0.16.3"
  },
  title: "TodoApp",
  auth: {
    // Tells Wasp which entity to use for storing users.
    userEntity: User,
    methods: {
      // Enable username and password auth.
      usernameAndPassword: {}
    },
    // We'll see how this is used in a bit.
    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
  }
}

s I am trying to show an entity based off of a parameter in the URL 📄 main.wasp

// Wasp: `version: "^0.16.3"`
route UserPagesRoute { path: "/pages/:username", to: UserPages }
page UserPages {
  component: import { UserPages } from "@src/UserPages"
}

// Wasp: `version: "^0.16.3"`
route UserPagesRoute { path: "/pages/:username", to: UserPages }
page UserPages {
  component: import { UserPages } from "@src/UserPages"
}

My attempt I thought this was the right way to do it but, 📄 queries.ts

// username is a parameter that comes from the URL
export const getUserPages = async ({ username }: { username: string }, context) => {
  console.log(`1 username: ${username}`)

  //Return all the pages with the author of `username`
  return context.entities.Page.findMany({
    // I don't think I am formatting the `where` correctly
    where: { user: { identities: { username: username } } },
    orderBy: { id: 'asc' },
  })
}

// username is a parameter that comes from the URL
export const getUserPages = async ({ username }: { username: string }, context) => {
  console.log(`1 username: ${username}`)

  //Return all the pages with the author of `username`
  return context.entities.Page.findMany({
    // I don't think I am formatting the `where` correctly
    where: { user: { identities: { username: username } } },
    orderBy: { id: 'asc' },
  })
}

I'm getting this error:

[ Server!] Unknown argument `identities`. Available options are marked with ?.

[ Server!] Unknown argument `identities`. Available options are marked with ?.

What I've tried so far - I have tried logging out the entities to try and find the right way to access the username. - I have tried talking to the AI in my IDE, but the suggestions have been to add an identity's field to the user schema. - I think wasp attaches this relation to the user entity without being explicitly defined.
