There is now one way in: POST /api/auth/magic-link with an email address. It
creates the account (unverified) if the address is new -- that's the only
"sign up" -- and emails a sign-in link either way, subject to the existing
60s-per-user resend throttle. Opening the link (POST /api/auth/verify-email,
unchanged) is what actually creates the session, and marks the address
verified the first time. Since a session can now only ever come from an
opened link, "authenticated" implies "verified" -- there's no more
authenticated-but-unverified state, so the resend-verification endpoint and
all the "verify your email" nagging UI are gone too.
Backend
- migrations/008: ALTER TABLE users DROP COLUMN password_hash.
- UserRepository: create() takes only an email; new findOrCreateByEmail()
(race-safe) backs the magic-link endpoint.
- AuthController: register()/login() removed; requestLoginLink() now
find-or-creates before sending.
- EmailVerificationController: resend() removed (dead -- you can't be
authenticated and unverified); requestChange() drops the password check,
now just { email }.
- EmailVerifier: sendVerification() removed (unused once register() and
resend() are gone); sendLoginLink() is the one email people get.
- Routes: POST /auth/register, POST /auth/login, POST /email/verification
all gone.
Frontend
- LoginView: email field + "Send sign-in link" button, nothing else.
RegisterView and the /register route are gone.
- auth store: register()/login()/resendVerification() removed;
requestEmailChange() drops the password param.
- ProfileView: password field and the "verify your email" section removed,
leaving just the change-email form.
- App.vue: the "verify email" header badge is gone; DashboardView's
unverified-address notice is gone.
- Now-dead .badge/.badge--warn/a.badge CSS removed.
Tests: AuthTest and EmailVerificationTest rewritten for the new flow (52
tests total, down from 58 -- consolidated, not reduced coverage).
ApiTestCase::authHeader() signs in via the real magic-link -> verify flow.
Verified end-to-end against the rebuilt container and the dev server: a brand
new address gets an account + session from one link; /auth/register,
/auth/login and /email/verification all 404; the UI shows no password field
anywhere and no verification nagging. Also fixed the README's "Try it" curl
snippets, which had been silently broken since JSON_PRETTY_PRINT was added
(grep patterns didn't tolerate the space after ':').

Backend
- New Mail namespace: a Mailer interface with SMTP (phpmailer), PHP mail()
(the default fallback), and log-to-file transports, selected by
MAIL_TRANSPORT. EmailVerifier issues a hashed, 15-minute magic-link token
and sends the link (APP_URL/verify-email?token=...).
- Migration 005: email_verifications table + users.verification_email_sent_at.
- Registration now emails a verification link (best effort — a send failure
doesn't fail registration).
- POST /api/auth/verify-email consumes a token and returns a session, so
opening the link verifies the address (or applies a pending email change)
and logs the user in. Single-use; distinct 400s for invalid/used/expired.
- POST /api/email/verification resends; POST /api/email/change requests a
deferred change (current password required; link goes to the new address;
users.email only updates when that link is opened). Both throttled to once
per 60s, returning 429 + retry_after.
- GET /api/me and every session payload now include pending_email. Shared
SessionPayload builds the user/session JSON for all entry points.
Frontend
- /verify-email view: posts the token, adopts the returned session, redirects.
- /profile view: shows address + status, a resend button with a live cooldown
(driven by retry_after / 429), and a change-email form (new address +
current password) that surfaces the pending change.
- Header shows a "verify email" badge linking to the profile.
Tests: 9 new (EmailVerificationTest) covering the link lifecycle, throttle,
and deferred change; AuthTest folded into ApiTestCase, which now routes mail
to a per-test log. Suite: 32 passing.

Two migrations add todo_lists (owner_id FK to users, title, description) and
todo_items (list_id FK, text, complete, position), both with ON DELETE
CASCADE.
New endpoints under /api/lists, all behind AuthMiddleware:
- lists: index / store / show / update (PATCH) / destroy
- items: nested under a list, same five verbs
Lists are owner-scoped — another user's or a missing list responds 404, never
403. New items append after the highest position unless one is given; the
list carries item_count / completed_count. Item PATCH is partial and never
renumbers siblings.
Adds App\Support\Validator for request-body checks, TodoList/TodoItem
repositories, and body()/user() helpers on the Controller base. Feature tests
move their shared harness into tests/ApiTestCase; TodoTest covers CRUD,
ownership isolation, ordering, completion counts, validation and cascade
delete. Full suite: 15 passing.
