Description

There is no password reset flow. No route, component, or handler matches forgot, resetPassword, or password-reset anywhere in apps/web/src.

Why it matters

A team member who forgets their password has no self-service path back in — recovery requires an admin editing the database directly. The invite flow (InviteToken) already establishes the token-email-expiry pattern this would reuse, so the building blocks exist.

Fix

/forgot-password request page → single-use expiring token (mirroring InviteToken) → email via the existing Postmark transport → /reset-password consume page. Tokens must be single-use and expiring, and the request endpoint must not disclose whether an address is registered.

Research direction

Start by searching apps/web/src for the existing InviteToken implementation and Postmark transport, then trace the current route, component, and handler structure. Use that invite-token pattern to map the forgot-password request and reset pages, including single-use expiry and non-disclosing responses. Done means both pages and the email flow work without revealing whether an address is registered.
