Covers PUT-1705. The master account supplies { username, email }; the account
is created with no password, gets the default filesystem tree, joins with
org_owned = 1, and receives a one-shot activation link.
Activation reuses password recovery rather than new token machinery: the same
pass_recovery_token, the same one-hour purpose-scoped JWT, the same
/action/set-new-password link. No team_activation table, no new token type,
and no unauthenticated endpoint on the team surface. Activation state needs no
column either -- an unactivated account is one with no password.
Applies the same username and email rules as signup rather than its own:
USERNAME_REGEX, USERNAME_MAX_LENGTH, RESERVED_USERNAMES and validator.isEmail,
now exported from AuthController. Without them a workspace could mint accounts
signup would refuse -- the username becomes the /username home-directory
segment -- claim unregistered reserved names, and send activation mail to
arbitrary unvalidated addresses at the route's daily limit.
Usernames come from Puter's global pool, so a taken one is refused with free
alternatives rather than silently modified: a suffixed name would appear in
every share dialog that person ever sees, and they never agreed to it. The
check runs before any write, so a rejected provision leaves no orphaned user
row -- asserted by a test on the workspace's member count.
The new account carries requires_email_confirmation, since the address came
from the administrator rather than its holder.
Adds a team_account_activation email template stating what the workspace can
and cannot do -- including that it can reset the password, which the design
requires be said rather than only claiming files are private.
free_storage stamping and the billing event are phase 3.
