Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported jsonwebtoken use in a Next.js Edge Runtime environment and inspect how the Node.js crypto dependency is reached. The issue does not name a source file, test, or concrete expected behavior, so the completed fix would need to establish Edge Runtime compatibility or clearly define the supported limitation.

Description

Recently, I have used jwt in nextjs but the nextjs gives me error below
[Error: The edge runtime does not support Node.js 'crypto' module.

I hope the problem will be solved very soon. Thank you
