Replace Google OAuth consent screen support email with a team alias #253

Description

Context

During the production Clerk + Google OAuth setup (#181 / #230), the Google Cloud OAuth consent screen required a "User support email." Google only allows the signed-in user's own email or a Google Group they own. We don't yet have a support@drawbackwards.com (or support@runladder.com / ladder-support@) group set up in Workspace, so we used chester@drawbackwards.com to unblock the auth work.

What's affected

The OAuth consent screen shows this email to anyone who hovers the "Need help?" link during Google sign-in. It also receives Google policy notifications. Having a personal email there is fine for now but not the right long-term contact.

What to do

  1. In Google Workspace admin, create a Google Group such as support@drawbackwards.com, ladder-support@drawbackwards.com, or whichever convention the team prefers. Add the relevant team members (Ward, Chester, Michael) as members; set Chester or Ward as owner.
  2. In Google Cloud Console (console.cloud.google.com) → project Ladder → APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen, edit and change the User support email from chester@drawbackwards.com to the new group address.
  3. Save. No other action needed; Clerk doesn't see this field.

Priority

Low. Not blocking auth functionality, just a polish/contact-hygiene item.
