getSessionCookie() always null | Next.js 15.2
In my middleware I am using getSessionCookie() to check if a user has a session cookie. My middleware looks like this (shortend): 
...
const sessionCookie = getSessionCookie(request);
        if (!sessionCookie) {
            return NextResponse.redirect(new URL(`/${locale}/auth/sign-in${callbackUrl}`, request.url));
        }
...
...
const sessionCookie = getSessionCookie(request);
        if (!sessionCookie) {
            return NextResponse.redirect(new URL(`/${locale}/auth/sign-in${callbackUrl}`, request.url));
        }
...
When using npm run dev I can access the protected routes only if I am logged in and everything works just as expected. If using npm run start after a build, `getSessionCookie()`` is always returning null and I cannot access the protected routes even when I am logged in and the session cookie is set. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!
