At bootstrap there is no SMTP, so the old /setup flow was unreachable: it
requested an emailed OTP that could never arrive. Setup now records the
Owner's email address unverified (no OTP round-trip) and requires a passkey,
deferring SMTP configuration to a later Settings page. Setup completes on
email-recorded + passkey-enrolled, and the lockdown lifts on the passkey, not
on email_verified: a passkey is the Owner's only pre-SMTP login credential
(email-OTP login refuses admin accounts).
The record-email endpoint (POST /account/email) now clears email_verified in
the same write. Only VerifyEmailOTP, which proves control of the address, may
set that flag; recording a fresh unproven address must never leave a stale
email_verified=true asserting a proof the user never gave. The change strictly
tightens the invariant, so no existing reader breaks.
Remove the dead ErrEmailTaken path and its documented 409: no migration puts a
unique index on users.email and the codebase does not enforce email
uniqueness, so the unique-violation branch was unreachable and the 409 an
impossible response.
The /setup route (Setup.tsx, setEmail helper, setup i18n copy) is rewritten to
match: record-email, mandatory passkey, no skip-for-now. The SMTP settings
page and post-setup configure-SMTP nudge are deferred.
