/account had no header and no links of any kind, so once a customer opened it the only way back to the storefront was the browser's back button or editing the URL.
It is now a modal rendered over whatever the customer was looking at, while staying a real route. Opening it from the header pushes /account and names the current page as the backdrop, so closing returns there with filters intact, and the browser's Back button does the same thing as the close control. Entering /account directly — a bookmark, the link in a verification email, or the redirect after registering — has no page behind it and falls back to the storefront, so closing always lands somewhere real. Keeping it a route means the URL still works: bookmarkable, shareable, and refreshable with the view still open, which the header link and the four post-authentication redirects already depend on.
Deleting an account now clears the session as well. Previously it removed the account server-side and navigated home without touching the auth context, so the header went on offering "My Account" for an account that no longer existed until the next reload. That was always wrong, but the modal makes it visible rather than merely stale, because the storefront is rendered behind and the wrong header is on screen throughout.
The modal body is capped and scrolls, and the order history table scrolls within itself, so the view survives a phone without pushing its own title and close control off-screen.
Also scopes the account switch locator in the favorites spec to the modal, since the storefront now renders behind the account view and has a theme switch of its own, and gives the post-registration wait a realistic timeout — it waits on a bcrypt round-trip rather than a render, and the 5s default was surfacing as a flake on whichever test lost the race under parallel load.
Closes#51
Customers can favorite and unfavorite items from the storefront, opt in to being told when a favorite is sold to someone else, and manage that preference from their account page.
The opt-in is a consent of its own rather than the existing marketing flag. Being told that a specific item you asked about has gone is a narrower thing than agreeing to marketing, and folding one into the other would leave marketing_consent_text no longer describing what was actually agreed to. It is recorded the same way as the marketing consent — flag, timestamp, and the exact wording shown — and accepting it does not set marketing_consent.
The prompt appears only after a customer has actually favorited something, so the reason for asking is concrete rather than an abstract marketing ask, and it says plainly that it is separate from marketing email. Declining keeps the favorite.
Notifications fire when an item reaches sold, either through checkout or an admin marking it sold, and never to the buyer — telling someone the item they just bought is unavailable reads as a bug. Reserved is deliberately not a trigger: reservations expire and get released, so a "gone" email would often be about an item still for sale. Disabled accounts are excluded, per #33.
completeCheckout now returns the sold item ids and the buyer so its three call sites can notify after COMMIT. Sending inside the transaction would email people about a sale that then rolled back, and would hold the transaction open for SMTP. Each message is sent independently so one bad address cannot stop the rest, and the sale has already succeeded regardless.
Favoriting while signed out opens the existing inline register/login modal, exactly as Add to Cart does, and completes the favorite on success.
Also fixes a latent bug in the same component: while the session was still resolving, `customer` is null for a signed-in visitor too, so clicking Add to Cart or the new heart in that window prompted them to sign in again. Both now ignore clicks until the session has resolved, and the control shows as loading meanwhile.
