fix: handle duplicate email sign-up and null user in protected layout

- Register action now returns success instead of redirecting to /account/setup
  so users without a session (duplicate email with requireEmailVerification)
  see a 'check your email' message instead of crashing
- Protected layout guards against null/undefined locals.user before querying
  Prisma (was passing id: undefined)
- Updated register page to show success banner with verification instructions
- Updated test to match new action response
