Problem

The User model in Models/User.php contains relationships referencing classes not in this package (e.g. Page, Project, Domain, Pixel, and others from Core\Mod\Social, etc.). These fail silently or throw errors if the consuming application does not have these packages installed.

Impact

Package cannot be used as a standalone module
IDE analysis fails on undefined class references
Tests in isolation cannot instantiate the User model cleanly

Acceptance Criteria

Audit all User model relationships for undefined/external class dependencies
Add class_exists() guards or move app-specific relationships to the consuming application layer
Document which relationships are package-native vs. app-specific in CLAUDE.md

Discovered during automated scan (issue #3)
