-/**
- * Create User API Handler
- *
- * Creates a new user account with associated profile and private user data.
- * This endpoint is called after Firebase authentication to initialize
- * the user's presence in the Compass database.
- *
- * Process:
- * 1. Validates Firebase authentication token
- * 2. Creates user record in users table
- * 3. Creates private user record in private_users table
- * 4. Generates default profile data
- * 5. Sends welcome email asynchronously
- * 6. Tracks user creation event
- *
- * @param props - Request parameters including device token and locale
- * @param auth - Authenticated user information from Firebase
- * @param req - Express request object for accessing headers/IP
- * @returns User and private user objects with continuation function for async tasks
- * @throws {APIError} 403 if user already exists or username is taken
