Guys, can anyone tell me why when I add output: 'export' to next.config, Clerk gives an error with the Middleware

⨯ Middleware cannot be used with "output: export". See more info here: https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/static-html-export

Error: Clerk: auth() and currentUser() are only supported in App Router (/app directory).
If you're using /pages, try getAuth() instead.
Original error: Error: Route / with `dynamic = "error"` couldn't be rendered statically because it used `headers`. See more info here: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/rendering/static-and-dynamic#dynamic-rendering
