* fix(auth): a verification link verifies only for its account's session; the mailbox owner can claim (BUG-3382)

Registration mails the verification link to the address, and the address
may belong to someone other than whoever registered it. Clicking it used to
verify the squatter's account in place, keeping the squatter's password and
sessions.

- POST /auth/verify-email now verifies only when the request is signed in as
  the account the token names. Otherwise it answers 409 verify_needs_session
  with {email, can_claim} and leaves the token unspent.
- New POST /auth/verify-email/claim {token}: the mailbox owner claims a
  never-verified account. One transaction spends the token, resets every
  credential (an unusable password, 2FA, sessions, PATs, OAuth, CLI
  handoffs, reset and verification tokens), marks the address verified,
  strips memberships, grants, watches and tabs in workspaces the account
  does not own, and soft-deletes the ones it owns (TASK-3351 ruling 3). An
  account with a billing customer is refused with
  account_claim_needs_support (ruling 4). The answer carries a
  set-password path and the affected workspace names.
- users.credential_epoch (SQLite 110 / PG 084): bumped by a password change,
  a disable and a claim. Every session mint is fenced on the epoch read
  when the credential was checked (login, 2FA via the challenge token, CLI
  approval, reset completion, rotation, OAuth login), so a sign-in checked
  before a claim mints nothing after it (401 credentials_changed).
- The web verify page offers "Sign in to verify" (back to the link), and,
  for an unverified address, a confirmed claim listing what was removed.
- A regression test shows that an unverified account's cookie cannot use
  the cookie-fallback routes.

* fix(auth): fence password writes on the checked epoch; own verify bucket; switch account (BUG-3382)

Codex round 1:
- A password change (PATCH /me) or a reset completion that started before
  a claim could still overwrite the claim's reset. UserUpdate.ExpectedEpoch
  makes the write conditional on the epoch its authority was checked under:
  the current password's read, or the reset token's spend. The spend now
  reads the epoch in the same statement, and a test hook puts a claim
  between the spend and the read-back. A mismatch writes nothing
  (credentials_changed).
- verify-email and its claim move to their own EmailVerify bucket (10/hour),
  so opening the link, refreshing and claiming no longer spends the
  PasswordReset budget the claimant needs to set a password.
- The verify page, signed in as a different account, signs out before
  sending the user to sign in. A plain /login link bounced straight back.
