Permanently erases the dashboard user account belonging to the caller. This is a self-service GDPR Article 17 right-to-erasure for the signed-in user. Requires a fresh password re-authentication in the request body. SSO- only accounts (no local password) cannot use this endpoint and must contact support — those callers receive `400`. Rate-limited per account to prevent password-guessing.
