Research direction

Start by reviewing how the project currently uses Django’s standard User implementation and identify the authentication entry points that would need a custom User. Define the smallest supported custom implementation and verify that existing authentication behavior remains usable; the issue provides no file or test locations, so the project structure must be mapped first.
