Deprecates `login_type=none` (legacy passwordless machine users) in
favour of premium **service accounts**, and migrates existing accounts
off the deprecated path while preserving their identity. Resolves
[DEVEX-226].
## What this does
- **Creation is gated** — `POST /users` and `coder users create` reject
`login_type=none` (and the deprecated `--disable-login`) unless a
service account is requested.
- **Existing users are converted** — migration
`000554_legacy_none_login_to_password` rewrites legacy non-system,
non–service-account `login_type='none'` accounts to
`login_type='password'`. Email addresses are **preserved** and existing
API tokens remain valid. Admins can set a password if interactive login
is desired.
## Why convert to `password` and not `is_service_account`?
Migration `000433_add_is_service_account_to_users` adds two CHECK
constraints:
- `users_email_not_empty`: `(is_service_account = true) = (email = '')`
- `users_service_account_login_type`: `is_service_account = false OR
login_type = 'none'`
Turning a real, email-bearing `login_type=none` user into a service
account would require **blanking their email**. Converting to `password`
instead preserves the account and its email.
> ⚠️ **Breaking / one-way.** The `down` migration cannot restore which
users originally had `login_type='none'`.
Decision log
- **Goal:** move existing `login_type=none` users off the deprecated
path while preserving their identity/email.
- **Constraint discovered:** the `is_service_account` CHECK constraints
(migration `000433`) make a literal `none → service account` conversion
require blanking emails, so this PR converts to `password` instead to
keep emails intact.
- **Implementation:** creation-gating in `cli/usercreate.go` and
`coderd/users.go`, matching test updates, plus the
`000554_legacy_none_login_to_password.{up,down}.sql` migration.
- **CI fix:** the branch was behind `main` and its migration originally
numbered `000534`, which collided with main's
`000534_drop_chat_model_configs_provider`. Merged `main` and renumbered
to `000554` (next free after main's `000553`). `make gen` produces no
drift (the migration is data-only).
> The service-account conversion alternative (#27182, which blanked
emails) was closed in favour of this password-preserving approach.
>
> Docs follow-up: #27333.
