- Send verification email before creating user to prevent orphaned accounts
- Detect SMTP authentication errors and fail fast without retries
- Add field-level validation errors for better frontend UX
- Configure docker-compose with explicit environment variables
- Document dollar sign escaping in .env.example (use $$)
- Implement welcome email on successful verification
- Clean up unnecessary comments
Implemented email service infrastructure with SMTP support and optional email verification for self-hosted deployments. Registration flow now supports open/closed modes and hardcoded Apocapoc branding.
Key features:
- Email service with SMTP and template rendering
- Optional email verification (auto-verified without SMTP config)
- Registration modes: open/closed for access control
- Hardcoded Apocapoc branding (AppName, AppURL, DefaultFrom)
- Separate registration and login flows (registration no longer returns tokens)
