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.

Hook Person.checkPassword() (8+ chars, upper/lower/digit/special) into
PersonDetailsService.save(), guarded so unrelated profile edits that
re-save an existing password hash aren't re-validated. Check complexity
in /reset/oauth/complete before consuming the reset token. Fix two
non-compliant default-password fallback literals that would otherwise
break seed init and reset-to-default once complexity is enforced.

Addresses jm1021's review feedback on this PR/flask Open-Coding-Society#74 ("tied to
Profile Password reset") reinterpreted for the current architecture:
the profile page's direct password field was removed in a later PR in
the same stack in favor of routing everyone through this OAuth wizard,
so "tied to profile reset" now means "tied to the wizard's completion".

Track MVC logins in a SessionRegistry (tracking only, no session cap)
and force-expire a uid's sessions after /reset/oauth/complete succeeds,
closing the previously-documented gap where the JWT path invalidated on
password change but the MVC HttpSession path didn't.

Route the unknown-uid (was 204) and admin/default-account (was 401)
denial paths in /reset/oauth/verify through the same oauthResetDenied()
helper as every other check, so they're no longer distinguishable from
a real failed verification by status code or body shape. 429 (rate
limit) still necessarily differs -- the frontend needs it to show
"Request a Ticket Instead".

Also add rel="noopener noreferrer" to this file's two target="_blank"
links (unrelated pre-existing template code, general hygiene).
