How to correctly update the user info?

I want to update specific fields, but the TypeScript tells me to provide all additional fields.

If you're on a server already, you should just use your ORM since currently updateUser would trigger additional session fetch.

I did it before this approach. But the session isn’t updated unless using router.refresh()

try 1.2.2-beta.1

Thanks for the response! If I would like to use the ORM approach: 
export const changeThemeAction = authenticatedActionClient
  .schema(changeThemeSchema)
  .action(async ({ parsedInput, ctx }) => {
    const { theme } = parsedInput

    await db.update(users).set({ theme }).where(eq(users.id, ctx.user.id))
  })
export const changeThemeAction = authenticatedActionClient
  .schema(changeThemeSchema)
  .action(async ({ parsedInput, ctx }) => {
    const { theme } = parsedInput

    await db.update(users).set({ theme }).where(eq(users.id, ctx.user.id))
  })
How to invalidate the session cache properly? Or should I stick with router.refresh() in Next.js?

if you're fetching the session on the client, you can just refetch on response.

I'm fetching it like this. 
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

import { getSession } from '@/lib/auth'
import SessionProvider from '@/providers/session-provider'

type MainLayoutProps = {
  children: React.ReactNode
}

const MainLayout = async (props: MainLayoutProps) => {
  const { children } = props
  const session = await getSession()

  if (!session?.user) redirect('/login')

  return <SessionProvider session={session}>{children}</SessionProvider>
}

export default MainLayout
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

import { getSession } from '@/lib/auth'
import SessionProvider from '@/providers/session-provider'

type MainLayoutProps = {
  children: React.ReactNode
}

const MainLayout = async (props: MainLayoutProps) => {
  const { children } = props
  const session = await getSession()

  if (!session?.user) redirect('/login')

  return <SessionProvider session={session}>{children}</SessionProvider>
}

export default MainLayout
export const getSession = async (requestHeaders: Headers | null = null) => {
  if (!requestHeaders) requestHeaders = await headers()

  return await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: requestHeaders
  })
}
export const getSession = async (requestHeaders: Headers | null = null) => {
  if (!requestHeaders) requestHeaders = await headers()

  return await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: requestHeaders
  })
}
