Auth – AJAX

Log in (session + JWT)

WordPress AJAX login with reCAPTCHA/Turnstile verification. On success, establishes a WP session cookie and issues a JWT token pair stored in $_SESSION.

Registered as wp_ajax_nopriv_sagescreen_login — public.

Special behaviours:

Hard maintenance mode blocks non-global-admin logins.
Users with member role or no council_id are blocked (except global admins).
If a pending Stripe order session exists, it is processed and credits are appended to the redirect URL.
TODO(productlane): BoldDesk SSO removed from this spec — the login handler still emits a BoldDesk JWT when the request originates from BoldDesk; remove or replace with the ProductLane flow.
