Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat(frontend): people can change their own password
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The header's monogram and name now link to a new /account page, whose one
action hands the user to Keycloak's update-password screen and brings them
back afterwards. Before this there was no way to change a password from
Hackagon at all: the credential lives in Keycloak and nothing in the app
pointed at it.

No backend change, and none is possible — the Go service has no password
surface (no credential RPC anywhere in api/proto, no Keycloak admin
client), so this is an OIDC round trip rather than an RPC:
kc_action=UPDATE_PASSWORD on the authorize URL, carried there by Auth.js's
third signIn argument, which leaves state, nonce and PKCE to Auth.js.

Success and Cancel both come back through the callback with a valid code,
so there is no error path to handle — and no confirmation banner either,
since Auth.js consumes kc_action_status before the page reloads and a
banner shown regardless would congratulate someone who had cancelled.

Self-service reset stays impossible: the realm sets resetPasswordAllowed
false because smtpServer is empty. The page says so plainly rather than
leaving a locked-out user to guess.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] docs(frontend): record why the password page needs no
 Keycloak change

Two comments, no code.

The first says that UPDATE_PASSWORD being enabled on the realm already is
precisely why this page needed no realm change. The fact was in the
comment; the consequence was not, and it is the thing a reviewer asks
about first.

The second records who may set a new password for somebody locked out,
and why it is deliberately nobody else: a Keycloak credential is
platform-wide while a casbin role is per-hackathon, so a hackathon
owner's reset could not be contained to their own event.
