Add automatic email sending for join-us form submissions using Lark Mail API

[Copilot]

Implements automatic welcome email functionality for the freshman registration form as requested. When users submit the join-us form via POST /api/freshman, they now receive a professional welcome email confirming their application.

Key Features

Email Service Integration

• Lark Mail API integration optimized for Cloudflare Workers
• No external dependencies - uses native fetch API for reliability
• Configurable sender information via environment variables
• Secure app-based authentication with access token management

Professional Email Template

• Responsive HTML design matching NBTCA branding from the mail_template repository
• Includes user's submitted information for confirmation
• Clear next steps and contact information for applicants
• Plain text fallback for universal email client compatibility

Enhanced API Response
The endpoint now returns an additional emailSent field:

{
  "success": true,
  "result": { /* user data */ },
  "emailSent": true
}

Robust Error Handling

• Email failures don't break form submission (graceful degradation)
• Proper error logging for debugging email delivery issues
• Maintains backward compatibility with existing integrations

Configuration Added

Added environment variables to wrangler.toml:

[vars]
EMAIL_FROM = "noreply@nbtca.space"
EMAIL_FROM_NAME = "NBTCA 计协"
LARK_APP_ID = "your_lark_app_id"
LARK_APP_SECRET = "your_lark_app_secret"

Production Requirements

The implementation is production-ready and will work once:

1. Valid Lark app credentials are configured (LARK_APP_ID, LARK_APP_SECRET)
2. Proper Lark app permissions for mail sending are granted

This ensures users receive immediate confirmation of their application submission while maintaining system reliability through Lark's enterprise email service.

Fixes #1.

Updated the email service to use Lark Mail API as requested. The implementation now uses the Feishu API endpoints for authentication and email sending instead of MailChannels. Added the required Lark app configuration variables and updated the email service to handle token acquisition and API calls according to the Lark Mail API specification. Commit: e5df6d4
