Walkthrough

This PR removes Clerk authentication and related sync/backup integrations across the app. It deletes Clerk env/config, dependencies, UI components, Convex users schema and auth-backed endpoints, and disables sync/backup utilities. Build workflows are adjusted (remove Clerk env, add artifact upload, add push trigger). Privacy page is updated to remove account-related sections.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change summary
Environment samples & config /.env.example, /vite.config.ts	Remove PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY from sample env and Vite define mapping; keep other defines unchanged.
GitHub workflows .github/workflows/build.yml, .github/workflows/deploy.yml, .github/workflows/beta_deploy.yml	Remove PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY from Build steps; add push trigger and artifact upload step to build.yml; otherwise flows unchanged.
Editor/docs .github/copilot-instructions.md	Remove Clerk env line from snippet and Clerk mention from Security Considerations.
Dependencies /package.json	Remove @clerk/backend, @clerk/themes, and svelte-clerk from dependencies.
Convex backend: users/backup/sync /src/convex/schema.ts, /src/convex/backups.ts, /src/convex/sync.ts, /src/convex/utils.ts	Delete users table; change comments.user and backup.user from v.id('users') to v.string(); comment out backups get/create/remove, sync get/update, and JWT/user utils (no active exports).
Sidebar and providers /src/lib/components/app-sidebar.svelte, /src/lib/components/providers.svelte, /src/lib/components/sidebar-auth.svelte	Remove Clerk context/components; delete sidebar-auth.svelte; providers no longer wrap with ClerkProvider/GoogleOneTap/themes.
Settings and sync util /src/lib/components/settings.svelte, /src/lib/sync.ts	Remove token fetching and Clerk/Convex save path; comment out save implementation; UI now avoids token-based persistence.
Routes: account/identify/backups/privacy/layout /src/routes/account/[...slug]/+page.svelte, /src/routes/identify.svelte, /src/routes/backups/+page.svelte, /src/routes/privacy/+page.svelte, /src/routes/+layout.svelte	Delete account page (Clerk profile). Identify: replace Clerk-driven identify with onMount PostHog reset check. Backups page: remove auth/Convex integration; keep local backups UI; SignedIn/Out UI removed. Privacy: remove Clerk/Convex account data sections and references. Layout: reorder Identify import only.
