# Signup Bridge

Email/password sign-up is routed through `/api/partner-signup` so the raw Better Auth sign-up endpoint stays gated.

- Local development uses a built-in partner bridge secret.
- Production should set `PARTNER_SIGNUP_BRIDGE_SECRET` on the partners app and Convex deployment.
- `ADMIN_SIGNUP_BRIDGE_SECRET` is accepted only as a fallback for shared local/bootstrap environments.
