The reset email works — confirmed by a delivered message, after every attempt on
record had failed at the lookup and the mail path had never once been exercised.
What the delivered message showed was a different problem: it was in English,
and its button pointed at `pb.petruzalekr.cz/_/#/auth/confirm-password-reset/…`,
which is PocketBase's admin console. Every other surface of this app is Czech on
purpose, because the people using it are the owner's parents and his children —
and the one moment they are most likely to be stuck is the one moment it started
speaking English and sent them to what reads like a developer tool.
Found by looking at a delivered email rather than at the settings. The templates
were simply PocketBase's defaults, and a default is invisible until somebody
receives one.
The reset link now lands on amber.petruzalekr.cz, which hosts the form: two
fields, in Czech, on the domain people already know. A reset link wins over a
stored session, because somebody arriving with one is trying to fix their
account and dropping them into a signed-in page hides the thing they came to do.
The token is stripped from the address bar once spent — a URL carrying a
credential is one that ends up in a bookmark or a screenshot.
A failed confirm names the likely cause. These links expire, and "something went
wrong" gives somebody who opened yesterday's email no way to know that.
Verification and email-change keep PocketBase's own confirm pages: nobody has
used those, they are not part of the report, and pointing them at a page that
does not exist would be worse than English.
As a migration rather than a click in the admin UI, so restoring the backend
from migrations does not quietly put English back.
