User Exists (true)→Authuser found: proceed to credential verification

User Exists (false)→Create Useruser not found: route to registration

Usage Notes

User Exists provides a simple binary check: no error edge configuration is needed. It is lighter-weight than Identity Lookup when you only need to branch on existence rather than validate credentials. Connect true to a login path and false to a registration or account-creation path.
