Introduce ChangePasswordRequest DTO and a new ChangePassword endpoint in AuthController that validates input, changes the user's password via UserManager, updates the security stamp, signs out the user to invalidate sessions, and returns localized messages. Add a simple authorized AppUserController stub (GET /auth/user). Update the 404 view to resolve auth status via fetchCurrentUser, show a dynamic CTA/icon (Dashboard vs Home), auto-redirect after a short delay with proper timer cleanup, and adjust navigation behavior. Update codexInfo.md to document the 404 behavior change.
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".
