Local mana-auth has no built-in admin seed and `requireEmailVerification`
turned on with no real SMTP — every developer ends up writing the same
"register + UPDATE auth.users" SQL incantation by hand. Bundles it
into one idempotent script + a pnpm alias.
pnpm setup:dev-user # creates 3 default accounts
./scripts/dev/setup-dev-user.sh foo bar # creates / repairs one
What it does per user:
1. POST /api/v1/auth/register on mana-auth (so Better Auth's
signUpEmail handles password hashing the way the runtime
expects — no hand-rolled scrypt)
2. UPDATE auth.users SET email_verified = true, access_tier = 'founder'
so the new user can immediately log in AND exercise every
tier-gated module without a tier upgrade dance
Idempotent: existing users get tier + verification re-applied without
touching the password. Re-running after a partial setup is safe.
Defaults to three accounts (tills95 / tilljkb / rajiehq @gmail.com,
all with password "Aa-123456789") so the next dev doesn't have to
remember anything. Override via `TIER=alpha` / `DB_HOST=...` env
vars when needed.
Two preflight gates fail loud: psql in PATH + mana-auth reachable
on :3001. ON_ERROR_STOP=1 in psql so a bad SQL run doesn't get
silently swallowed.
Replaces the dangling `seed:dev-user` package.json alias that pointed
at a `pnpm --filter @mana/auth db:seed:dev` script that was never
created — clean rename to `setup:dev-user` to match the existing
`setup:env` / `setup:db` family.
