Introduce a complete user account and profile management system that enables users to create and manage personal identities within the platform. Users should be able to register using email/password and optionally through third-party providers such as Google or GitHub. Secure authentication, password reset, and account recovery must be supported.
Each user should have a customizable profile containing a profile picture, username, display name, bio, and optional fields such as location, website, and interests. Users must be able to update their profile information at any time.
Privacy controls should allow users to decide whether their profile is public or private and manage visibility of specific fields. Account settings should include options to change password, manage connected login providers, and deactivate or permanently delete the account.
This feature will act as a foundational capability for other platform functions such as posting content, following users, messaging, notifications, and personalization.
