Bug: Admin user management password reset hangs

Problem

On /admin/users, clicking "Reset PW" disables the button (pending state) but the password banner never appears. The form action hangs indefinitely. No errors in browser console or server-side logs. Page load (listing users with roles) works correctly — the Keycloak Admin API is reachable from the pod.

Root Cause

Suspected: the use:enhance handler handleResetPassword() in +page.svelte (lines 81-91) is not receiving the form action result. The actionPending state never resets because the callback never fires. Possible causes:
  • SvelteKit use:enhance may not handle the newPassword field in the action result properly with Svelte 5's $props() pattern
  • The server-side form action at +page.server.js (lines 33-60) may be timing out on the Keycloak Admin API fetch without propagating the error
  • The actionPending state blocks the UI permanently because it's set in onclick but only cleared in the enhance callback

Fix

Debug the form action flow in src/routes/admin/users/+page.svelte and +page.server.js. Likely need:
  • Add console.error logging in the server action's catch block
  • Add a timeout or error fallback in the enhance callback to re-enable buttons
  • Test if the form action returns data correctly by submitting without use:enhance

Impact

Admin cannot reset user passwords via the UI. Workaround: use Keycloak admin console at https://keycloak.tail5b443a.ts.net or reset via CLI/API (verified working — 204 response). User listing and search work fine. Role changes untested (may have same issue).

Acceptance Criteria

  • Clicking "Reset PW" on a user shows the new password in a green banner within 5 seconds
  • The password banner has a working "Copy" button and "Dismiss" button
  • The user row highlights green after reset
  • The reset user can log in with the new password
