Restore local authentication failure messages.

The custom Passport callback bypasses Passport’s automatic failureFlash handling. The local strategy returns messages for invalid credentials and one-time-password failures, but the !user branch redirects without flashing info.message. The GET /login handler reads req.flash('error'), so failed attempts lose their specific message.

Suggested fix 
-      return passport.authenticate('local', { failureRedirect, failureFlash: true }, (err, user) => {
+      return passport.authenticate('local', { failureRedirect, failureFlash: true }, (err, user, info) => {
         if (err) { return next(err); }
-        if (!user) { return res.redirect(failureRedirect); }
+        if (!user) {
+          if (info?.message) { req.flash('error', info.message); }
+          return res.redirect(failureRedirect);
+        }

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

In `@Parse-Dashboard/Authentication.js` at line 105, Update the custom callback in
passport.authenticate to accept Passport’s authentication info and, in the !user
branch, flash info.message as an error before redirecting to failureRedirect.
Preserve the existing error handling and successful authentication flow.
