SMTP-less self-hosted instances still marked every account
emailVerified=false and attempted a verification mail that could
never arrive. Now: no transport → accounts are created verified,
the send is skipped, and existing unverified rows are backfilled
on startup. .env.example stops defaulting SMTP_HOST to the
dev-only mailpit service.
Verified live: fresh signup returns emailVerified=true, legacy
unverified users flip on restart, sign-in unaffected.

- sendTransactionalEmail no-ops (with a warning) when no mail transport is
configured instead of throwing — sign-up 500'd on SMTP-less instances
- sendVerificationEmail catches transport failures so a broken SMTP can't
block account creation; verification stays optional (requireEmailVerification
was never set)
- login form gains id/name attributes and label for/id pairing so password
managers (Proton Pass et al.) detect the fields; email input uses
autocomplete=username

Self-hosted instances are now email/password only — OAuth providers
(GitHub/Google/Discord/Microsoft) activate solely when PRIMORA_MANAGED=true,
reserved for the future hosted tier.
Sign-up lifecycle: the first public sign-up becomes the instance admin; after
bootstrap, sign-up closes by default. A better-auth databaseHook gates only
/sign-up/email, so admin-created users and OAuth flows bypass it. The login
page reads GET /instance/public to hide the sign-up tab, show the bootstrap
notice, and render only the providers the instance offers.
Instance settings live in core.settings (migration 00010) and resolve
in-app > env > built-in default, cached 15s. Platform admins (better-auth
user.role) manage sign-up, mail transport, and rate limits via
GET/PUT/DELETE /instance/settings or the new Settings → Instance tab. Secret
values are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest with PRIMORA_ENCRYPTION_KEY, never
returned by the API, and decrypted by the auth service at send time.
Auth service reads the same settings table for the sign-up gate and mail
config, so in-app changes take effect without a restart.
