Describe the issue

When using getKindeServerSession() and the function getUser(), the return type inferred is :

Promise<KindeUser<Record<string, any>>>

The resulting object can however be null, but it isn't picked up upon by TS. It notably can make the build of a nextjs production build fail, as the User is not defined at that moment.
