 - Step 6 (web user-journey E2E tests) — Test 1 round 2 pending on clean DB; the bugs found in round 1 are no longer blockers

+Session paused 2026-05-16 evening. To resume Test 1 round 2:
+
+1. Re-apply SMTP overrides under `/admin/settings` (port 587, STARTTLS, `support@wizard.lu`) — the reset wiped them.
+2. Confirm `/admin/loyalty/programs` shows the Fashion Group program (should be seeded by `seed_demo.py`).
+3. Tail `api` and `celery-worker` logs live, then enroll at `https://fashionhub.rewardflow.lu/loyalty/join` with a fresh email. The point of the live tail is to catch where B1-F actually dies — at dispatch, at SMTP, or somewhere else.
