Laravel-auth0 - database session driver never authenticates, if set to cooke works instantly

Laravel 11.28.1
laravel-auth0 7.15.0

If I simply specify the AUTH0_AUDIENCE, DOMAIN, CLIENT_ID, and CLIENT_SECRETE in my .env file using the default database session driver, I see sessions being made from Laravel in the database, and I’m seeing auth0 cookies being sent when the browser is accessing /login, /callback and such but something is breaking down because it never actually authenticates?

If I put AUTH0_SESSION_STORAGE and AUTH0_TRANSIENT_STORAGE to cookie in my .env, it works flawlessly.

Extremely extremely extremely fresh to SSO/Auth0 so all of this is still very new. :frowning:
