Bug Fix: Ensure User Creation in Convex DB for Clerk Email Signups Without First Name

This PR addresses a critical bug in the Clerk webhook where users signing up with only an email and no provided first name were not being created in the Convex database. The issue stemmed from a forced assertion (event.data.first_name!) on the first_name field, which caused an error when first_name was null or undefined, halting user creation.

Changes

• Before:

  name: event.data.first_name!

  This code assumed that first_name was always provided, causing issues when first_name was missing.

• After:

  name: event.data.first_name
    ? event.data.first_name + " " + (event.data.last_name ?? "")
    : event.data.email_addresses[0].email_address.split("@")[0]

  Now, if first_name is missing, the code assigns name to the username derived from the email prefix. This ensures that all users, even those signing up without a first name, are created in the database.

This fix provides a fallback mechanism for name, improving robustness and ensuring successful user creation for all signups.
