Error: Option apiKey is required in Remix loader

Hello, I've been trying to query from Xata in a Remix loader, and am getting this error.

Error: Option apiKey is required
    at XataClient.parseOptions_fn

Error: Option apiKey is required
    at XataClient.parseOptions_fn

I'm aware that queries should only be run on the server, but from what I understand, Remix loaders only run on the server, so I don't think that's the issue.

export async function loader() {
  const xata = getXataClient()
  const topics = await xata.db.topics.getAll()
  return json({ topics })
}

export async function loader() {
  const xata = getXataClient()
  const topics = await xata.db.topics.getAll()
  return json({ topics })
}

I found a workaround, which is to manually add apiKey and branch to the XataClient instance that is generated by the CLI.

export const getXataClient = () => {
  if (instance) return instance

  // change this
  instance = new XataClient()
  // to this
  instance = new XataClient({
    apiKey: process.env.XATA_API_KEY,
    branch: process.env.XATA_BRANCH,
  })

  return instance
}

export const getXataClient = () => {
  if (instance) return instance

  // change this
  instance = new XataClient()
  // to this
  instance = new XataClient({
    apiKey: process.env.XATA_API_KEY,
    branch: process.env.XATA_BRANCH,
  })

  return instance
}

But that means I have to manually do that every time I update the schema. Is there something obvious I'm missing? Thanks!
