Closes #1000

The issue title is "Pair swap deadline protection" (a Soroban contract concern); its body and acceptance criteria describe verification email resend abuse in this web client, which is what this PR implements. The repo contains no contracts.

Problem

ResendVerificationButton only enforced a 60-second cooldown. The same button is rendered by every auth surface — LoginPage, VerifyEmailPage (twice) and VerifyEmailBanner — so a user could keep asking POST /auth/resend-verification for new emails indefinitely.

Change

• src/features/auth/verificationResend.ts (new): the allowance — 3 emails per address per hour — keyed on a hashed, normalised address (no PII in storage), plus formatResendWait() for copy like Resend in 12 minutes.
• src/features/auth/components/ResendVerificationButton.tsx: checks the allowance before sending, records it only when the request succeeds, and disables itself with the remaining wait once spent. The wait is seeded from storage on mount, so a reload or a second tab does not reset it.
• src/utils/rate-limit.ts: added a non-consuming peekRateLimit() and an opt-in storage: 'local' backend. Existing callers (ContactForm, NewsletterForm) keep the previous session-scoped defaults unchanged.
• Failure paths do not spend an attempt, and the existing 60 s feedback cooldown still applies between individual sends.

Acceptance criteria

Criterion	Status
Endpoint has rate limiting (max 3/hour)	Client-side gate; the request is not issued when spent. Server-side enforcement on /auth/resend-verification is still required — this repo has no backend.
Rate-limit window displayed ("resend in X minutes")	Yes, in the button label while blocked
Test asserts rate limiting works	16 new tests (below)
No users can spam the verification endpoint	Blocked in the UI; a determined user can clear localStorage, so the server limit remains the real boundary
All auth flows have the limit	Single shared component used by Login, VerifyEmail and VerifyEmailBanner
No users can bypass the rate limit	Per-address key survives reloads and tabs

Tests

• src/features/auth/verificationResend.test.ts (7): three allowed then blocked, wait formatting, per-address isolation, key normalisation and absence of the raw address, peek does not consume, window expiry, storage persistence.
• src/test/VerificationResend.test.tsx (9): sends and confirms, disabled with "Resend in N minutes" when spent, wait survives remount, blocked clicks do not call the API, failures do not spend the allowance, separate allowances per address, re-enables after the hour, empty email disabled.

Verification

• New + affected suites: 33 passed (verificationResend, VerificationResend, plus the existing Form.test.tsx rate-limit tests as a regression check) — exit 0.
• Full npx vitest run: 400 passed, 1 failed test (src/lib/url.test.ts › resolvePostLoginRedirect) plus src/lib/analytics.test.ts failing at file load (duplicate helper). Both fail on unmodified main (merge artifacts from Harden auth redirects, server-supplied URLs, production config and PII scrubbing (#862-#865) #1034) and are untouched here.
• tsc -b: 105 errors, identical to base, none in files touched here.
• ESLint: 0 errors on changed files; Prettier clean.
• npm run build: passes once the pre-existing duplicate useQuery import in features/payments/PaymentResultScreen.tsx is removed (that repair is proposed separately in fix(a11y,api,config): resolve assigned issues #993 #997 #998 #999 #1047, not duplicated here).

Out of scope

The other issues assigned here (#992 API route params, #994 ERC20 mint(), #996 recharts) reference an Express API, Solidity contracts and a chart library that do not exist in this repository; I left a note on each rather than inventing those surfaces.

CI stops before it reaches this branch

Both workflows fail in their install step, not in any check of this code:

npm error code ERESOLVE
peer eslint@"^3 || ^4 || ^5 || ^6 || ^7 || ^8 || ^9" from eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y@6.10.2
(root project has eslint@10.11.0)

npm ci fails the same way on unmodified main; the install only succeeds locally with npm ci --legacy-peer-deps. It is a dependency-policy call, so this PR does not change it.

main also carries pre-existing failures that would fail the quality gate after install: 105 tsc errors, 55 ESLint errors, one failing test (src/lib/url.test.ts › resolvePostLoginRedirect) and one suite that cannot load (src/lib/analytics.test.ts, duplicate helper) — all verified on the base commit.

Locally on this branch (installed with --legacy-peer-deps): 33/33 tests in the new and adjacent suites pass, tsc error count is unchanged at 105 with none in the touched files, and ESLint/Prettier are clean on every changed file.
