Argon2id hashing (~15-50ms, 19 MiB) ran synchronously inside async
handlers, stalling every task sharing those runtime worker threads under
concurrent auth load. Add spawn_blocking wrappers hash_password_async /
verify_password_async and switch all async call sites; sync primitives
stay for the login timing-equaliser and unit tests. Bump to 0.124.1.
