The global popup hazard Nikola asked about, fixed at the one chokepoint: auth.Middleware answers browser subresource requests (Sec-Fetch-Mode present and not navigate) with a plain JSON 401 and no challenge header, before any provider Challenge runs. Navigations keep the branded/IdP redirects, WebDAV keeps Basic. Three tests pin the routing (fetch suppressed, navigate passes through, no-Sec-Fetch passes through).

Plus the wizard restart handover to /setup (first-run admin creation is the operator's actual next step; /setup self-forwards to /login when not pending). CHANGELOG v0.5.7.
