when making a POST request, an extra key shows up in render.com logs where the BE API is deployed.

i am working on a project for my backend class. I built my backend using PostgresQL and Ruby on Rails for my API. I am having problems with my fetch request from my front end client to the API i deployed on render.com

export const signinLandlord = async (email, password) => {
  return fetch(`${baseApiUrl}/api/v1/auth/landlord`, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      email: email,
      password: password,
    }),
  }).then((data) => data.json());
};

export const signinLandlord = async (email, password) => {
  return fetch(`${baseApiUrl}/api/v1/auth/landlord`, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      email: email,
      password: password,
    }),
  }).then((data) => data.json());
};

I send a fetch request to the api with only the email and password in the body. In the console, it returns unauthorized EVEN IF the email and password is correct. i checked the logs on render.com where the API is deployed and it gives me this error:

it produces an extra "authentication" key and i don't know where that is coming from. in my rails controller, i only permitted email and password, without a top level key

class Api::V1::AuthenticationController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_action :authenticate_request,
                     only: %i[landlord_create renter_create]

  def landlord_create
    # signin
    @landlord, @error_messages = Landlord.signin(signin_params)

    if @error_messages.nil?
      serialized_token = TokenSerializer.serialize_user(@landlord)
      render json: { landlord: serialized_token }, status: :ok
    else
      render json: { errors: @error_messages }, status: :unauthorized
    end
  end

  
  private

  def signin_params
    params.permit(:email, :password)
  end
end

class Api::V1::AuthenticationController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_action :authenticate_request,
                     only: %i[landlord_create renter_create]

  def landlord_create
    # signin
    @landlord, @error_messages = Landlord.signin(signin_params)

    if @error_messages.nil?
      serialized_token = TokenSerializer.serialize_user(@landlord)
      render json: { landlord: serialized_token }, status: :ok
    else
      render json: { errors: @error_messages }, status: :unauthorized
    end
  end

  
  private

  def signin_params
    params.permit(:email, :password)
  end
end

these are my routes

scope '/auth' do
          post '/landlord', to: 'authentication#landlord_create'
          post '/renter', to: 'authentication#renter_create'
        end

scope '/auth' do
          post '/landlord', to: 'authentication#landlord_create'
          post '/renter', to: 'authentication#renter_create'
        end

im lost really and i dont know what do do and how to debug this
