📝 Describe your problem

Hi, There was a lot of conversations about mutli-users support, roles, external providers, etc. I would like to know the final decision to work (or let some other) works on the implementation.

I saw https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/6161#issuecomment-3390762507, so would we go on BetterAuth?

I already worked on https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/3571#issuecomment-3008676597, so the tests could be easy to be re-implemented).
