What is the difference between a till account and a console login?	why can a cashier not sign in to the console cashier says invalid email till login not working on the website	people	src/api/people.ts, src/auth/session.ts

They are two separate account systems that happen to share one table.

A till account belongs to the terminal in the shop. A console login belongs to the back office. The backend leaves the two till roles out of every console sign-in lookup, inside the query itself, so a cashier trying to sign in to the console is reported as "not found" rather than "wrong password" — the account is real, it is simply not a console account.

If somebody needs both, they need two accounts.
