nodebb-plugin-session-sharing(7.2.3) can't make it work on NodeBB v4.4.4

[email protected]

nodebb-plugin-sso-auth0 (4.2.0) works fine, I can use auth0 to login with google or github

but now I have a different site running on localhost:4200, I have tab called Forum that open a new tab window going to localhost:4567
built a small node express server to create a cookie.

so I login to my site on localhost:4200 via auth0 and it creates a cookie for the session-sharing plugin

   res.cookie(CONFIG.nodebb.cookieName, jwtToken, {
      httpOnly: true,
      secure: false,          // localhost http
      sameSite: 'lax',        // first-party in dev
      path: '/',              // send everywhere
      maxAge: CONFIG.nodebb.cookieMaxAgeMs,
    
    });

Final NodeBB payload: {
  "id": 951566902,
  "username": "theddiem",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "picture": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg1ocJLXRjLY5JH5l7gDBBuWLCuboR7n4pEXkXoxyHn9XvAyx8p_7td=s96-c",
  "firstName": "the",
  "lastName": "dem",
  "externalId": "google-oauth2|106089043025998015329"
}

than I click on the navbar to open the forum running on localhost:4567, in dev tools I see a cookie there
but I am not logged in automaticly and in the nodebb dev logs I don't see the plugin tries to read the cookie

also if the user is in not registered in the forum at all and used my site to login with auth0 and than go to fourm via navbar link it suppose to register him automiatclly?
