Fixed Dashboard Route Protection ✅

I've successfully fixed the dashboard route protection issue by implementing Clerk middleware authentication.

Completed Tasks:

• Read project documentation and understand auth patterns
• Investigate current dashboard route structure
• Examine the unauthorized error source
• Implement proper route protection for dashboard
• Test the solution
• Run linting and build checks
• Commit and push changes

What was fixed:

• Updated src/middleware.ts to protect all /dashboard routes using Clerk's createRouteMatcher
• Added auth.protect() to automatically redirect unauthenticated users to sign-in
• This prevents the "Unauthorized" error by handling authentication before the page loads

Technical Details:
The issue occurred because the dashboard page called getUserWorkouts() which throws an "Unauthorized" error when no user is logged in. Instead of handling this at the data layer, I implemented route-level protection using Clerk middleware, which is the recommended approach per the project's auth documentation.

Changes Made:

• src/middleware.ts: Added route protection for /dashboard(.*) pattern

All code passed linting checks. The solution follows the authentication patterns documented in /docs/auth.md.
