Authentication handler and async ORM support

[acracker]

Hi,

I’m currently using Robyn with an async ORM, so authentication logic requires async I/O.

From my understanding, authentication_handler supports async def syntactically, but it does not behave like a full async middleware (no response control, no next(), limited async semantics, not propagated to SubRouter).

I wanted to ask:

1. Is there any plan to extend authentication_handler to better support real async use cases in the future?
2. For applications using async ORMs or other async dependencies, is the recommended approach to implement authentication via add_middleware() instead of configure_authentication()?

I just want to make sure I’m using Robyn in the intended way for async-heavy applications.

Thanks.
