✅ As a User, I want to sign in to my existing Identity from the browser avatar icon
Behavior from source: From the signed-out avatar, choose existing identity and authenticate with a passkey. Show account selection only when multiple accounts exist, then update the avatar. Existing members regain access; non-members still explicitly tap Join. The same document separately names creation of a new browser account via the avatar and supplies a prototype, without written criteria for that secondary story.

Source acceptance and behavior
Avatar icon is outlined when the user is not signed in
Tapping the avatar opens a modal with three options: "Create my identity" and "Sign in — I already have an identity" or I have an identity from another site
Tapping "Sign in — I already have an identity" leads to the passkey screen
Passkey screen shows "Good to see you again", the email, and a "Sign in with passkey" button
"Use another email" option is available on the passkey screen
After passkey confirmation, if the user has more than one account, a "Connect your account" screen appears
The "Connect your account" screen lists all available accounts with one pre-selected.
User can change the selected account and tap "Confirm account" to proceed
If the user has only one account, this screen is skipped
Avatar updates to show the user's profile photo after sign-in
If already a member, Join button disappears and a toast confirms access
If not yet a member, Join button remains until tapped
User taps "Use another email" → email input appears → enters new email → returns to passkey screen
User enters an email not linked to any identity → Create new account flow prompt
User cancels or fails passkey → error shown, option to retry
Account list is empty → only "Create my identity" option is shown
User is already signed in → avatar shows photo, no sign-in flow triggered but list options (account settings, profile....)
Network error during sign-in → error message shown with option to retry
