requireEmailVerification was enabled but no sendVerificationEmail was
configured — new users saw "check your email", never received anything,
and couldn't log in (403 shown as "wrong email or password").
- email.ts: add verification email template; welcome email no longer
claims the account is "confirmed"
- auth.ts: configure emailVerification (send on signup, resend on
unverified login attempt, auto sign-in after verification, 24h TTL)
- register route: callbackURL=/dashboard so the verify link lands in
the cabinet
- login form: distinguish 403 (unverified — tell user a fresh link was
sent) and 429 (rate limit) from wrong credentials

- Backend: explicitly return 409 EMAIL_TAKEN when the email already
exists, instead of Better Auth's silent 200 (common after migration).
- Frontend: split error handling — network failure, non-JSON body
(502/proxy), and meaningful server errors get distinct messages; the
"email already registered" case shows login / reset-password links
instead of a generic "connection error".
