Splitting #168 into smaller, independently-reviewable PRs across spring/flask/pages. This one covers the password reset button — the core verified reset mechanism.

Depends on #169 (merge that first) — this branch includes #169's FlaskPasswordSync commit since GitHub can't base a PR on a branch that only exists in this fork. Once #169 merges, this diff will shrink to just this PR's own changes.

New security-driven self-service reset: a student proves account ownership by signing in with their @stu.powayusd.com school Google account, and the trailing 5 digits of that (server-verified) email must match the last 5 digits of the account's stored sid before a reset is allowed.

  • GoogleIdTokenVerifier verifies the Google Identity Services ID token server-side via Google's tokeninfo endpoint — the existing signup flow only ever decoded it client-side.
  • POST /mvc/person/reset/oauth/verify / POST /mvc/person/reset/oauth/complete implement the two-step verify-then-set-password flow, reusing the existing ResetCode infrastructure. Completion best-effort syncs to Flask via FlaskPasswordSync (spring: Add Flask password-sync utility (1/4 split of #168) #169).
  • Invalidates JWTs when a password changes (Person.tokenVersion, bumped on any password-change path).
  • Fixes ResetCode's RESET_TOKEN_SECRET resolution so it actually sees Spring's .env-imported value instead of silently signing tokens with a random per-restart key.
  • Repoints login.html's "Forgot Password?" link at the new verified wizard on the pages site.

Original PR: #168

FlaskPasswordSync calls Flask's internal sync endpoint
(POST /api/internal/sync-password) with a shared secret
(INTERNAL_SYNC_KEY), so a password reset completed on Spring also lands
on the Flask account for the same uid. Not wired up to any caller yet --
that's the OAuth-verified reset flow, next PR in the stack. Best-effort:
a sync failure is logged, not fatal to whatever already-successful
operation triggered it.

New security-driven self-service reset: a student proves account
ownership by signing in with their @stu.powayusd.com school Google
account, and the trailing 5 digits of that (server-verified) email must
match the last 5 digits of the account's stored sid before a reset is
allowed.

GoogleIdTokenVerifier verifies the Google Identity Services ID token
server-side via Google's tokeninfo endpoint (checks aud, iss,
email_verified) -- the existing signup flow only ever decoded this
token client-side and never verified it, fine as a UX nicety but not
acceptable as an actual security gate.

POST /mvc/person/reset/oauth/verify reuses the admin/default-account
guards and rate limiting from the existing email-based /reset/start
flow, and on success issues a single-use token via the existing
ResetCode infrastructure. POST /mvc/person/reset/oauth/complete spends
that token and sets the new password, then best-effort syncs it to
Flask via FlaskPasswordSync (added in the previous PR in this stack).

Also invalidates JWTs when a password changes (Person.tokenVersion,
bumped in PersonDetailsService.save whenever samePassword is false;
JwtTokenUtil stamps and checks it), fixes ResetCode's RESET_TOKEN_SECRET
resolution so it actually sees Spring's .env-imported value instead of
silently signing tokens with a random per-restart key, and repoints
login.html's "Forgot Password?" link at the new verified reset wizard
on the pages site.
