## Statements (checkable)
0. Supabase's Auth error-codes page (opened 2026-10-29) lists email_not_confirmed, described as: Signing in is not allowed for this user as the email address is not confirmed.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. supabase/auth internal/api/token.go returns 400 with code email_not_confirmed and message "Email not confirmed" on password sign-in for an unconfirmed email.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Have the user open the confirmation email (or resend it), and handle this code separately from invalid_credentials.
```

## Error signatures
- code: `email_not_confirmed` (Supabase Auth error-codes table (docs, opened 2026-10-29); AuthApiError.code)
- substring: `Email not confirmed` (supabase/auth server message (internal/api/token.go @fcc491d, opened 2026-10-29))
