Better-Auth generates nanoid-style text IDs (e.g. pGud2ln2WAFHC0KYjBVKR4Rc7mM8OcTI),
but the users table was using PostgreSQL uuid type, causing INSERT failures on
registration. This changes User.id, UserStoreAccount.user_id, and Purchase.user_id
from uuid to text, with a corresponding Alembic migration.

Replace hand-rolled JWT auth with Better-Auth session-based authentication.
- Scaffold auth/ Node.js service with Better-Auth, bcrypt password compat,
Postgres adapter mapped to existing users table
- Add Alembic migration (002) creating sessions, accounts, verifications
tables and migrating password hashes to accounts table
- Update FastAPI auth dependency to validate sessions via shared DB
(supports both cookie and Bearer token)
- Remove registration/login/refresh endpoints from API gateway (now
handled by Better-Auth service)
- Update frontend to use better-auth/react client with httpOnly cookies
(no tokens in localStorage or memory)
- Rewrite auth store, Login, Register, Dashboard, Settings, ProtectedRoute
to use session-based auth
- Update all tests to create sessions directly in DB instead of JWT tokens
