Pluggable AuthProvider interface with a local (email+password) implementation, and a Mailer interface (ConsoleMailer for dev, SMTPMailer for operators). The auth service owns registration, login, opaque session issuance, email verification, and password reset (which revokes prior sessions). Endpoints under /api/v1/auth; sessions are returned as a Bearer token and set as an HttpOnly cookie.
Replaces the temporary X-User-Id shim: get_current_user now resolves a real session (Bearer or cookie). The open user-bootstrap endpoint is gone (registration replaces it). App logging is configured so the ConsoleMailer's verification/reset links are visible to self-hosters. Verified end-to-end on the deploy target, including the email-verification flow.
