input validation: email + password required. constructs
EmailAddress vo (BadRequest on bad format). looks up user; absent
or password-mismatch -> UnauthorizedException with constant
'invalid credentials' message (no enumeration leak). password
verified through PasswordHasher->verify against stored hash on
the User entity (no separate profile lookup -> tide keeps
password on the user row). returns the User entity for the
caller (typically CreateSession + AuthController). 27 tests
pass.
