Research direction
Read the existing Hasura documentation and source code (e.g., hasura/graphql engine) to understand how authentication works. Research Passport.js strategies and JWT implementation. Look at the issue comments for any additional requirements or feedback. Then create a boilerplate project with sample code and architecture diagrams for both webhook and JWT options.
