Notifications, password resets, magic links, alerts. Every language solves SMTP outbound with an external library. In Fitz, smtp.send(opts) is a language builtin. Async from day one. Bit-for-bit parity between fitz run and fitz build. No pip install yagmail / npm install nodemailer / cargo add lettre / Maven JavaMail.

Password reset / magic-link auth (unique link to the user's email).
