Join Forge

Forge routes participant registration through BEAM Home.

No separate Forge auth system is created here. These links pre-tag the handoff with `organizationId = org_beam_forge`, `cohortId = cohort_beam_forge_launch`, and `entryChannel = forge.beamthinktank.space`, following the BEAM Home handoff pattern.

Existing BEAM Home code persists sign-in and handoff data in Firebase client auth plus profile documents. Forge reads those documents back for the member view.

What BEAM Home currently provides

Participant identity model: organizations, cohorts, participant profiles, organization memberships, cohort memberships, and source attribution.
Public role feed: `GET /api/roles` backed by the Readyaimgo BEAM roles feed.
Work-context lookup: `GET /api/participant/work-contexts` using handoff fields such as `sourceDocumentId`, `sourceStoryId`, and organization metadata.
Handoff persistence: BEAM Home stores the payload at `users/<uid>/profiles/beamHandoff` and onboarding/profile data under sibling docs.
