PROBLEM: Redirect parameters were getting lost during user flows
FIXES APPLIED:
1. Register Page:
- Default redirect: /command/dashboard (was /dashboard)
- Stores redirect in localStorage before email verification
- Preserves redirect when linking to login page
2. Login Page:
- Checks localStorage for stored redirect (from registration)
- Clears stored redirect after successful login
- Uses useState for dynamic redirect handling
3. OAuth Callback:
- Default redirect: /command/dashboard (was /dashboard)
- Backend OAuth endpoints also updated
4. Fixed all /dashboard → /command/dashboard links:
- pricing/page.tsx
- page.tsx (landing page)
- AdminLayout.tsx
- DomainChecker.tsx
- command/dashboard/page.tsx
- Header.tsx (simplified check)
5. Backend OAuth:
- Default redirect_path: /command/dashboard
NEW USER JOURNEY:
Pricing → Register → Email Verify → Login → Pricing → Stripe

BACKEND UPDATES:
- Default success URL: /command/welcome?plan={plan}
