[BUG] Login with charleshoward55@gmail.com routes to wrong free with different gmail account — Max subscriber locked out

- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
Logging into claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code with charleshoward55@gmail.com consistently authenticates but then routes me to a free-tier account with a different gmail (zeusmandelbrot@gmail.com which i don;t even want a claude account for). I am an active Claude Max subscriber. This happens in all browsers, incognito mode, after clearing all local app data, and via email magic link. This is a backend identity-mapping bug confirmed in issues #57164, #60022, #36797. I need engineering escalation to remap my account.
What Should Happen?
Login with charleshoward55@gmail.com should route to my Claude Max account.
