feat: Implement account deletion (mark for removal) feature

- Added `marked_for_deletion` and `marked_for_deletion_at` fields to User model (Python and TypeScript) with serialization updates
- Created POST /api/user/mark-for-deletion endpoint with JWT auth, error handling, and SSE event trigger
- Blocked login and password reset for marked users; added new error codes ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION and ALREADY_MARKED
- Updated UserProfile.vue with "Delete My Account" button, confirmation modal (email input), loading state, success/error modals, and sign-out/redirect logic
- Synced error codes and model fields between backend and frontend
- Added and updated backend and frontend tests to cover all flows and edge cases
- All Acceptance Criteria from the spec are complete and verified

+# Feature: Account Deletion (Mark for Removal)
+
+## Overview
+
+**Goal:** Allow users to mark their account for deletion from the Profile page.
+
+**User Story:**  
+As a user, I want to delete my account from the Profile page. When I click "Delete My Account", I want a confirmation dialog that warns me about data loss. After confirming by entering my email, my account will be marked for deletion, I will be signed out, and I will not be able to log in again.
+
+---
+
+## Data Model Changes
+
+### Backend Model (`backend/models/user.py`)
+
+Add the following fields to the `User` class:
+
+```python
+marked_for_deletion: bool = False
+marked_for_deletion_at: datetime | None = None
+```
+
+- Update `to_dict()` and `from_dict()` methods to serialize these fields.
+- Import `datetime` from Python standard library if not already imported.
+
+### Frontend Model (`frontend/vue-app/src/common/models.ts`)
+
+Add matching fields to the `User` interface:
+
+```typescript
+marked_for_deletion: boolean;
+marked_for_deletion_at: string | null;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Backend Implementation
+
+### New Error Codes (`backend/api/error_codes.py`)
+
+Add the following error code:
+
+```python
+ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION = 'ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION'
+ALREADY_MARKED = 'ALREADY_MARKED'
+```
+
+### New API Endpoint (`backend/api/user_api.py`)
+
+**Endpoint:** `POST /api/user/mark-for-deletion`
+
+**Authentication:** Requires valid JWT (authenticated user).
+
+**Request:**
+
+```json
+{}
+```
+
+(Empty body; user is identified from JWT token)
+
+**Response:**
+
+- **Success (200):**
+  ```json
+  { "success": true }
+  ```
+- **Error (400/401/403):**
+  ```json
+  { "error": "Error message", "code": "INVALID_USER" | "ALREADY_MARKED" }
+  ```
+
+**Logic:**
+
+1. Extract current user from JWT token.
+2. Validate user exists in database.
+3. Check if already marked for deletion:
+   - If `marked_for_deletion == True`, return error with code `ALREADY_MARKED` (or make idempotent and return success).
+4. Set `marked_for_deletion = True` and `marked_for_deletion_at = datetime.now(timezone.utc)`.
+5. Save user to database using `users_db.update()`.
+6. Trigger SSE event: `send_event_for_current_user('user_marked_for_deletion', { 'user_id': user.id })`.
+7. Return success response.
+
+### Login Blocking (`backend/api/auth_api.py`)
+
+In the `/api/login` endpoint, after validating credentials:
+
+1. Check if `user.marked_for_deletion == True`.
+2. If yes, return:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "error": "This account has been marked for deletion and cannot be accessed.",
+     "code": "ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION"
+   }
+   ```
+   with HTTP status `403`.
+
+### Password Reset Blocking (`backend/api/user_api.py`)
+
+In the `/api/user/request-reset` endpoint:
+
+1. After finding the user by email, check if `user.marked_for_deletion == True`.
+2. If yes, **silently ignore the request**:
+   - Do not send an email.
+   - Return success response (to avoid leaking account status).
+
+### SSE Event (`backend/events/types/event_types.py`)
+
+Add new event type:
+
+```python
+USER_MARKED_FOR_DELETION = 'user_marked_for_deletion'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Frontend Implementation
+
+### Files Affected
+
+- `frontend/vue-app/src/components/parent/UserProfile.vue`
+- `frontend/vue-app/src/common/models.ts`
+- `frontend/vue-app/src/common/errorCodes.ts`
+
+### Error Codes (`frontend/vue-app/src/common/errorCodes.ts`)
+
+Add:
+
+```typescript
+export const ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION = "ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION";
+export const ALREADY_MARKED = "ALREADY_MARKED";
+```
+
+### UI Components (`UserProfile.vue`)
+
+#### 1. Delete Account Button
+
+- **Label:** "Delete My Account"
+- **Style:** `.btn-danger-link` (use `--danger` color from `colors.css`)
+- **Placement:** Below "Change Password" link, with `24px` margin-top
+- **Behavior:** Opens warning modal on click
+
+#### 2. Warning Modal (uses `ModalDialog.vue`)
+
+- **Title:** "Delete Your Account?"
+- **Body:**  
+  "This will permanently delete your account and all associated data. This action cannot be undone."
+- **Email Confirmation Input:**
+  - Require user to type their email address to confirm.
+  - Display message: "Type your email address to confirm:"
+  - Input field with `v-model` bound to `confirmEmail` ref.
+- **Buttons:**
+  - **"Cancel"** (`.btn-secondary`) — closes modal
+  - **"Delete My Account"** (`.btn-danger`) — disabled until `confirmEmail` matches user email, triggers API call
+
+#### 3. Loading State
+
+- Disable "Delete My Account" button during API call.
+- Show loading spinner or "Deleting..." text.
+
+#### 4. Success Modal
+
+- **Title:** "Account Deleted"
+- **Body:**  
+  "Your account has been marked for deletion. You will now be signed out."
+- **Button:** "OK" (closes modal, triggers `logoutUser()` and redirects to `/auth/login`)
+
+#### 5. Error Modal
+
+- **Title:** "Error"
+- **Body:** Display error message from API using `parseErrorResponse(res).msg`.
+- **Button:** "Close"
+
+### Frontend Logic
+
+1. User clicks "Delete My Account" button.
+2. Warning modal opens with email confirmation input.
+3. User types email and clicks "Delete My Account".
+4. Frontend calls `POST /api/user/mark-for-deletion`.
+5. On success:
+   - Close warning modal.
+   - Show success modal.
+   - On "OK" click: call `logoutUser()` from `stores/auth.ts`, redirect to `/auth/login`.
+6. On error:
+   - Close warning modal.
+   - Show error modal with message from API.
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Backend Tests (`backend/tests/test_user_api.py`)
+
+- [x] Test marking a valid user account (200, `marked_for_deletion = True`, `marked_for_deletion_at` is set).
+- [x] Test marking an already-marked account (return error with `ALREADY_MARKED` or be idempotent).
+- [x] Test marking with invalid JWT (401).
+- [x] Test marking with missing JWT (401).
+- [x] Test login attempt by marked user (403, `ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION`).
+- [x] Test password reset request by marked user (silently ignored, returns 200 but no email sent).
+- [x] Test SSE event is triggered after marking.
+
+### Frontend Tests (`frontend/vue-app/src/components/__tests__/UserProfile.spec.ts`)
+
+- [x] Test "Delete My Account" button renders.
+- [x] Test warning modal opens on button click.
+- [x] Test "Delete My Account" button in modal is disabled until email matches.
+- [x] Test API call is made when user confirms with correct email.
+- [x] Test success modal shows after successful API response.
+- [x] Test error modal shows on API failure (with error message).
+- [x] Test user is signed out after success (calls `logoutUser()`).
+- [x] Test redirect to login page after sign-out.
+- [x] Test button is disabled during loading.
+
+---
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+- A background scheduler will be implemented to physically delete marked accounts after a grace period (e.g., 30 days).
+- Admin panel to view and manage marked accounts.
+- Email notification to user when account is marked for deletion (with grace period details).
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria (Definition of Done)
+
+### Data Model
+
+- [x] Add `marked_for_deletion` and `marked_for_deletion_at` fields to `User` model (backend).
+- [x] Add matching fields to `User` interface (frontend).
+- [x] Update `to_dict()` and `from_dict()` methods in `User` model.
+
+### Backend
+
+- [x] Create `POST /api/user/mark-for-deletion` endpoint.
+- [x] Add `ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION` and `ALREADY_MARKED` error codes.
+- [x] Block login for marked users in `/api/login`.
+- [x] Block password reset for marked users in `/api/user/request-reset`.
+- [x] Trigger `user_marked_for_deletion` SSE event after marking.
+- [x] All backend tests pass.
+
+### Frontend
+
+- [x] Add "Delete My Account" button to `UserProfile.vue` below "Change Password".
+- [x] Implement warning modal with email confirmation.
+- [x] Implement success modal.
+- [x] Implement error modal.
+- [x] Implement loading state during API call.
+- [x] Sign out user after successful account marking.
+- [x] Redirect to login page after sign-out.
+- [x] Add `ACCOUNT_MARKED_FOR_DELETION` and `ALREADY_MARKED` to `errorCodes.ts`.
+- [x] All frontend tests pass.
