POST /api/auth/register accepts {username, password, invite_token?,
display_name?} and creates a user. Race-safe first-admin path: when
the users table is empty, the SQL query (CreateUserFirstAdminRace)
inserts is_admin computed from a SELECT NOT EXISTS subquery — no
serializable isolation needed; concurrent empty-state registrations
both end up admin (benign).
Past first-admin, registration_settings.mode dictates: 'invite_only'
(default) requires a valid unredeemed unexpired invite token, which
is atomically claimed via RedeemInvite (rows-affected returns from
sqlc's :execrows directive). 'open' mode skips the invite check.
On success: hashes password (bcrypt), mints session token + cookie
matching handleLogin's shape, mints a separate api_token for
Subsonic clients, audits ActionRegister + ActionInviteRedeem
(best-effort — a failed audit write does NOT fail the user-facing
operation).
Validation: 3-32 char usernames (alphanumeric + underscore +
hyphen), 8-char minimum password. Duplicate username surfaces as
409.
Tests cover: first-user-becomes-admin, invite-only requires token,
valid token redeems + non-admin role, invalid token 400, open mode
skips check, duplicate username 409, password too short 400,
username format 400, race scenario asserts at-least-one-admin.
