The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a large internal code cleanup that replaces calls to ASP.NET Core's UserManager for getting the current user's ID with a new direct helper that reads the value from the user's identity claims. Most changes are mechanical refactors across many controllers and views. There are a few small behavior changes worth watching: the new helper returns an empty string instead of "???" for missing users, some places now treat a missing user ID as a validation failure rather than passing it through, and a couple of user-not-found cases now return NotFound instead of throwing an exception. The commit does not describe itself as a security fix and no external advisory is provided.

Recommended action

Treat this as a routine refactor with minor hardening. Review the new `GetId`/`GetIdOrNull` helpers to ensure they behave identically to `UserManager.GetUserId` for all authentication schemes (cookie, Greenfield API key, etc.). Pay special attention to the `StoreRepository.FindStore` admin path and the places that switched from exception-throwing to `NotFound()` to confirm no authorization bypass was introduced. No urgent patching is indicated absent additional context.
