How to halt and redirect if the user is not authenticated but tries to access the live route?
The second mount function gives invalid result returned error.

  @impl true
  def mount(_params, %{"current_user_id" => _current_user_id}, socket) do
    {:ok, socket}
  end

  @impl true
  def mount(_params, _session, _socket) do
    {:error, :unauthorized}
  end

mount callback return signature can only be {:ok, Socket.t()} or {:ok, Socket.t(), keyword()}.

You should make use of redirect to annotate the socket for redirection.

Also, check the Security considerations of the LiveView model. It addresses exactly your question in its examples.
