Eliminate all code paths, configuration, and documentation related to running
without authentication. Require AUTH_SECRET and BASE_URL at startup, updating
middleware, server logic, and runtime checks to assume auth is always enabled.
Simplify onboarding, settings, and test helpers to reflect mandatory auth.
Update environment examples, Docker and deployment docs, and CI/test configs.
Remove no-auth-specific UI flows, test cases, and feature toggles.
- Implement user sign-in, sign-up, and account management using better-auth
- Add rate limiting for TTS API with daily character limits for authenticated and anonymous users
- Integrate SQLite and PostgreSQL database support for user sessions and data persistence
- Update UI components to include authentication flows, user menu, and privacy popup
- Modify Dockerfile and package.json for new dependencies and entrypoint script
- Bump version to v1.3.0
