Description
I'm trying to test user creation and reset password workflow.
It seems that email verification link in the email and reset password link don't work.
When I create user via api _/auth/register_ and then invoke _/auth/send-verification-email_ I got the following email:

The link is not clickable and it should point to local instead (or any other hostname provided in configuration).
Same for reset password, when I invoke _/auth/forgot-password_ api call with specified email address I got the following email:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the /auth/register, /auth/send-verification-email, and /auth/forgot-password entry points and inspect how their emails build links from configuration. Reproduce both workflows locally and verify that each generated link is clickable and uses the configured hostname rather than an invalid or missing one.
