For a custom auth integration with Dexie cloud, how does one initiate a login from a server after user info has been collected?

(I posted this in discussions, but reposting here, as I'm not clear what the correct place is to post questions.)

I am currently looking at adding a custom auth integration and reviewing the example provided in the docs.

Based on the example, it appears the only way to initiate a login flow in Dexie Cloud is from the client, by calling db.cloud.login({ email: "foo@bar.com"}) which then results in a call from dexie cloud to the endpoint added in fetchTokens in cloud.config.

However, based on the provided example, it appears that the server needs to respond immediately to this call with a token, which does not allow for completion of a custom login flow. (Eg an OTP roundtrip.)

It seems there needs to be a "/login" endpoint that is equivalent to calling db.cloud.login({ email: "foo@bar.com"}), but allows a server to do so after the needed info (eg their email) has been collected in a custom flow. Or am I not understanding how this should work?

Any clarifications would be appreciated!
