Are directives always applied to the schema and can be used as a middleware to restrict access?

I was reading the doc above, and It says this:

One drawback of this approach is that it does not guarantee fields will be wrapped if they are added to the schema after AuthDirective is applied

I am not sure if this means that directives are not guaranteed to be applied to each field in the schema ? Is there a solution for this ?

You can extend a schema with additional fields using tools that possibly don’t know how to apply directives. If you don’t do that, I think You are ok
