+/// OAuth 2.0 Service — Google & GitHub
+///
+/// Implements the standard Authorization Code flow:
+///   1. `auth_url()` — build the redirect URL the browser goes to
+///   2. `exchange_code()` — swap the code for an access token
+///   3. `fetch_profile()` — get the user's email/name from the provider API
+///   4. `find_or_create_merchant()` — upsert into `oauth_accounts`, auto-create
+///      a merchant row if this is a brand-new user
+///
+/// No external OAuth crate needed — plain `reqwest` + `serde_json`.
