Research direction
Review the existing reputation score logic in the codebase, likely in authentication views or middleware. Identify where scores are incremented on failed login and how the score is stored (e.g., in database). Then, add a configuration flag to reset the score to 0 upon successful login, ensuring minimal changes to existing functionality. Check existing tests and update them accordingly.
