Found while working on #127.

Post a malformed username to the resend form and the server redirects to ?status=input
(src/pages/api/resend-setup-link.ts:59). That status renders the main sign-up form, because
showResend at src/components/signup-form.astro:29-30 does not treat it as a resend state. So the
person asking for a new setup link is silently moved to a different task, with no explanation and no way
back to what they were doing except finding the resend link again.

The input carries a pattern, so the browser blocks most of these client-side and the real-world hit
rate is low. It is still a dead end, and the class of person who reaches it — someone whose setup link
already failed once — is exactly the one least able to guess what happened.

Done when

A rejected resend submission comes back to the resend view with an error that says what was wrong
with the username, in both languages.
