fix(nextly): store and look up user emails in one normalized spelling - #1888
Conversation
createLocalUser persisted the address exactly as typed while every reader normalized it: the login lookup compares with trim().toLowerCase() through the database's case-sensitive `=`, so an account created with a single uppercase letter could never be found at sign-in - the response was the generic invalid-credentials error, and failed-attempt tracking never ran because the lookup missed. A no-op email edit in the admin panel appeared to fix such accounts only because updateUser normalized what create did not. Create and update now take the normalized address the Zod schema already produces (EmailSchema transforms to trim+lowercase): createLocalUser keeps validation.data.email for the duplicate check, the insert, the created event and the post-insert readback, and findByEmail queries validation.data instead of the raw input, so the seeder's and dispatcher's existence checks agree with it too. No other path changed. Verified: a new SQLite integration suite proves create stores the lowercased address, a case-variant create is rejected as DUPLICATE, and findByEmail matches across case; all three fail on the unfixed code for exactly those reasons. The users, auth and schema suites pass (969 unit tests, 451 users/auth), as do build, check-types and lint.

Two of the three review findings change code. The custom-field lookup in findByEmail still filtered on the raw input after the base query moved to the normalized address, so on a case-sensitive database a case-variant lookup succeeded for the user but silently returned none of their custom fields. It now reuses the normalized address. The duplicate probe in createLocalUser compared only the canonical spelling. On databases holding rows written before normalization, an exact repeat of such an address had been rejected by the old raw probe; the normalized probe missed it and the case-sensitive unique index then admitted a second account for the same logical email. The probe now compares lower() on the column against the already-lowercased input, covering the legacy spelling and its case variants alike. The third finding (trim before format validation in EmailSchema) is not taken: the padded case fails validation with a clear error, a behavior that predates this PR, and reordering the chain would change what every EmailSchema consumer accepts. The changeset no longer advertises trimming, and neither does the test name. The new legacy-row test fails on the previous commit for exactly the scenario it names; the touched-area suites pass, as do build, check-types and lint.

findByEmail and the create-time duplicate probe now query both spellings of an address in one predicate - the normalized form the schema produces and the caller's exact input - via Drizzle's typed inArray, replacing the raw sql fragment. Canonical rows are found and matched by their normalized spelling, and rows an earlier version stored mixed-case stay reachable: a repeat of such an address is rejected as a duplicate instead of the case-sensitive unique index admitting a second account, and the super-admin seeder re-running finds the existing administrator instead of failing. generateEmailVerificationToken now normalizes the address before its lookup and stores the token under the normalized identifier, mirroring generatePasswordResetToken, so a mixed-case registration's verification email is actually created and resend attempts match. The duplicate test keeps asserting the exact-legacy-spelling repeat, which is the upgrade state the probe exists for; the assertion against a canonical spelling over a legacy row described behavior main never had and is not added.

findByEmail no longer limits an ambiguous match to one arbitrary row. A database upgraded from the case-sensitive write path can hold both spellings of one address, and the inArray probe matched both; the row equal to the caller's exact input now wins, which is the account the previous exact-match lookup returned - so the super-admin seeder roles the account it actually looked up rather than an arbitrary twin. generateEmailVerificationToken falls back to the caller's exact spelling when the normalized lookup has no row, restoring verification resends against legacy mixed-case accounts that the normalized-only lookup had cut off. Deliberately not changed: full case-insensitive matching for every possible legacy casing. The portable way to do that is a lower() SQL fragment - rejected on this branch as raw SQL in product code - or a schema-level collation/index migration; both belong to the documented one-time data repair or a follow-up schema change, not another predicate rewrite.

The token fallback for legacy rows recorded the token under the normalized identifier, but verifyEmail updates the user by an exact email = identifier match: for a row stored mixed-case that update matched zero rows, the token was deleted, success was reported, and the account stayed unverified. The token is now keyed to the matched account's stored spelling, so the downstream exact match hits the row the lookup found. findByEmail's custom-field join now filters on the selected row's id instead of the lookup spellings. On a database holding both case twins the spellings match either account, so the previous query could attach one account's custom fields to the other identity. Both behaviors are pinned by the integration suite: the legacy token test fails on the previous commit with email_verified still null after verifyEmail, and the twin test keeps each account's identity separate.

With both case spellings of one address on the database, the verification-token lookup tried the canonical spelling first, so a resend for the exact legacy spelling keyed the token to the lowercase twin - redeeming it activated the wrong account while the addressed one stayed unverified. The caller's exact spelling is now probed first and the canonical form is the fallback, matching findByEmail's exact-spelling preference. The twin-resend test fails on the previous commit: the token verified the lowercase double while the addressed account stayed unverified.

The token lookup re-implemented the exact-spelling-first account selection findByEmail already owns, so future changes to legacy matching could update one implementation while resends silently kept targeting a different account. The method now resolves the account through UserQueryService.findByEmail - the same resolver the lookups answer with - and keys the token to the email it returns.

Resolving the resend's account through findByEmail means a malformed address now raises the resolver's VALIDATION_ERROR; the token method's catch mapped every failure through toDbError, so that surfaced as a misleading INTERNAL_ERROR 500 instead of the validation response. NextlyError instances now pass through unchanged and only genuine database failures are normalized.

Summary
An account created with any uppercase letter in the email could never log in:
createLocalUserpersisted the address exactly as typed, while the login lookup searches fortrim().toLowerCase()through the database's case-sensitive=. The response is the generic invalid-credentials error, and failed-attempt tracking never runs because the lookup misses, so the account is permanently unreachable with no signal why. A no-op email edit in the admin panel appeared to "fix" such accounts only becauseupdateUsernormalized what create did not.This PR makes the write path take the normalized address the Zod schema already produces (
EmailSchematransforms to trim + lowercase) instead of the raw input, and makesfindByEmailquery that same value instead of the raw input it was silently discarding.
