refactor(auth): replace SMTP with Mailjet, simplify login flow, and fix signup validation

[Atanu2k4]

Summary

Replaces the entire SMTP/Nodemailer email stack with the Mailjet API for transactional email delivery. Refactors the authentication flow so that email OTP verification is only required during sign-up (to confirm the email address) and after a 30-day session expires (re-login). Regular sign-in now creates a session directly without an OTP step. Also removes the disposable email detection system and fixes a bug where sign-up could be submitted with an empty confirm-password field.

Fixes #64

Changes

Email Provider

• Removed nodemailer, disposable-email-domains, @visulima/disposable-email-domains, and @types/nodemailer packages
• Installed node-mailjet and rewrote lib/notifyMail.ts to use the Mailjet Send API v3.1
• Replaced SMTP_* and BREVO_API_KEY env vars with MAILJET_API_KEY, MAILJET_API_SECRET, MAILJET_FROM_EMAIL, MAILJET_FROM_NAME

Removed Files

• lib/emailGuard.ts — disposable email detection (3-layer: blocklist + DNS MX)
• lib/disposable-domains.json — 72k+ domain blocklist (1.2 MB)
• lib/validateConfig.ts — SMTP env var startup validator
• app/api/admin/refresh-email-blocklist/route.ts — admin endpoint to refresh blocklist

Auth Flow Refactor

• Sign-up: Name + Email + Password + Confirm Password → OTP verification email sent → verify code → account created + 30-day session (unchanged)
• Sign-in: Email + Password → 30-day session created directly, no OTP required
• After 30 days: Session expires → user signs in again → OTP email sent at that point
• app/api/auth/login/route.ts — removed OTP generation and email send; now creates LoginSession directly and returns { user, sessionToken, expiresAt }
• context/AuthContext.tsx — removed requiresOtp branch from login(); regular login now expects session directly
• components/ApplyModal.tsx — SignInForm stripped of all OTP state and UI; simple email + password → redirect flow

Bug Fix

• components/ApplyModal.tsx — SignUpForm now explicitly blocks form submission when confirm password is empty, showing a "Please confirm your password" toast

Cleanup

• server.ts — removed logConfigStatus() import and startup call
• app/api/auth/signup/route.ts — removed isDisposableEmail import and guard block
• app/api/auth/otp/send/route.ts — removed SMTP-specific error codes (EAUTH, 535, ECONNREFUSED, ETIMEDOUT)

Testing

• Sign up with a new email → OTP verification email received via Mailjet → verify code → redirected to dashboard
• Sign in with existing credentials → redirected to dashboard immediately, no OTP prompt
• Sign up with mismatched passwords → error toast shown
• Sign up with empty confirm password field → "Please confirm your password" toast shown (bug fix verified)
• Session persists across browser reloads for up to 30 days
• After session expiry, sign-in triggers OTP flow
