GOOD: "Add a password reset flow to our Next.js app. Create a /forgot-password page with email input, generate a reset token stored in the database with 1-hour expiry, send a reset email using our existing SendGrid integration, and create a /reset-password/[token] page that validates the token and allows setting a new password. Use our existing Prisma schema and follow the patterns in src/app/auth/."
