`POST /auth/forgot-password`

Send a password reset email via Resend (custom template).

Firebase remains the identity backend (it mints the oobCode embedded in the
link), but the email itself is delivered by Resend — never Firebase's
built-in mailer. Always returns ``{"status": "ok"}`` regardless of whether
the email exists to prevent email enumeration attacks.
