When Discord sends a notification when someone submits the forgot password form, we should also include the IP from which the form was submitted from.

Closing this out as intentionally not planned. After reviewing the current forgot-password flow, this does not look worth implementing as-is: reset links are already protected by the account-based 24-hour broker throttle, unknown usernames keep the same generic response, and adding only the requester IP to Discord would be noisy without giving us much actionable security signal. If we revisit this later, I would rather frame it as structured audit/security events for forgot-password attempts, with enough context to be useful, instead of a Discord-only IP field.
