Switch user admin handling from an AppUser boolean to ASP.NET Identity roles. Removed AppUser.IsAdmin and related configuration/model entries; added migration ReplaceIsAdminWithRoles to copy Users.IsAdmin=true into a persistent admin role and drop the IsAdmin column. CurrentUserResponse now exposes roles (string[]), AuthController returns ordered roles from UserManager, and IdentitySeedService now ensures the admin role exists and assigns/creates an initial admin user in that role. Program.cs registers an Admin-only policy (PolicyNames/RoleNames), adjusts cookie auth events to return 401/403 for API requests, and wires up authorization. Frontend updated to use roles: authSession normalizes roles, adds hasRole and ROLE_ADMIN, router and layout support meta.requiredRoles, and new Forbidden and AdminUsers pages/route are added. codexInfo.md updated to reflect the migration to role-based auth.
Introduce authentication API: add AuthController with login, logout and me endpoints using SignInManager/UserManager; add LoginRequest and CurrentUserResponse DTOs. Login enforces active users, updates UpdatedAt on success, and returns localized messages. Also change default seed admin password from "Hoard" to "HoardPassword".
Introduce ASP.NET Core Identity with Guid keys: add Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore and update EF packages to 10.0.6. Replace DbContext with IdentityDbContext<AppUser, IdentityRole<Guid>, Guid>, apply entity configurations and map Identity tables to custom names (Users, Roles, UserRoles, etc.).
Add AppUser model (IsAdmin, IsActive, MustChangePassword, CreatedAt, UpdatedAt) and AppUserConfiguration to enforce required properties and table name. Add IdentitySeedService to create an initial admin account if none exists and log results.
Add generated migration InitIdentity and update the DbContext model snapshot. Wire up Identity in Program.cs (identity options, cookie config, AddEntityFrameworkStores), enable structured console logging and HTTP request logging, run migrations on startup and call the seed service, and enable authentication/authorization middleware. Update codexInfo.md to document the logging and seeding changes.
