Is it possible, in a custom middleware.ts file to pass a variable to the route handler?
Use case:
The middleware checks if the user is authenticated and if they are the route handler needs their username

You can set cookies and headers in middleware

could the user mess with that? like edit the header in between when the middleware sets it and the route handler checks it

no
if you set it on Middleware it will be passed to the routes without any user intervention anymore
