Description

Fixes #1887. Users who register with a mixed-case email (e.g. Foo@bar.com) could not log in as foo@bar.com because PocketBase's password auth performs an exact-match lookup on the email field.

Before

POST /api/collections/_superusers/auth-with-password
{"identity":"foo@bar.com","password":"..."}

400 Bad Request: Failed to authenticate. (invalid login credentials)

After

Same request succeeds regardless of the case used at login.

Approach

Two small hooks in the users package:

1. NormalizeEmail is bound to OnRecordCreate for both users and _superusers. It lowercases the email before save so stored values are canonical going forward. The existing PocketBase unique email index then naturally rejects case-variant duplicates.
2. ResolveAuthIdentity is bound to OnRecordAuthWithPasswordRequest. When PocketBase's exact-match lookup does not find a record, it falls back to [[email]] = {:email} COLLATE NOCASE. This covers accounts created on versions without the normalize hook.

No DB schema change, no migration, nothing to break on existing installs. The fix is scoped to the auth path and stays within PocketBase's hook API.

Changelog

Fixed

• Login is now case-insensitive for the email identity on both the users and _superusers collections. Fixes [Bug]: Login E-Mail is case Sensitive #1887.

Changed

• New user/superuser records are saved with the email lowercased, preventing future case-variant duplicates.

Tests

internal/hub/case_insensitive_email_test.go adds two test functions:

• TestEmailIsNormalizedOnCreate — verifies that freshly created users/superusers have their email persisted lowercase, and that a case-variant second registration is rejected by the unique index.
• TestCaseInsensitiveEmailLogin — simulates a legacy account whose email was stored mixed-case before this fix, then exercises the /auth-with-password endpoint for users and _superusers with lowercase, uppercase and original-case identities. Also covers the negative paths (wrong password, unknown email).

All hub package tests pass. The pre-existing agent and internal/alerts test flakes on upstream/main are unchanged by this PR.
