[Employer Sync 6.2] Handle the membership-less employer (stop redirecting to create-account)

TL;DR: Stop withOrgAuth from redirecting a logged-in user with no Org::Membership to /employers/create-account (the loop). Render a stop-page asking them to wait or contact support. Do not auto-create a company.

Context​

If a migrated Identities::User ends up without an Org::Membership — because their company was not (or cannot be) migrated to JodApp — the current withOrgAuth HOC in jodapp-web redirects them to /employers/create-account, asking them to create a company that already exists.

Problem​

The user cannot create the company. Registration number / slug collisions block them. They land in a loop and contact support. After the data audit, this case is small (the 90 orphan employers in sets B + C are skipped at sync time, so it should not happen — but it can happen if a company sync race or a JodApp-native edge case produces the state).

Direction​

In app/components/hocs/with-org-auth.jsx:

  • Detect the state — logged in Identities::User, no Org::Membership (orgUserProfile is nil).
  • Do not redirect to /employers/create-account.
  • Instead, render a clear stop-page:
    • Heading: We are setting up your account
    • Body: Your account exists, but it is not connected to a company yet. This usually clears in a few minutes. If you still see this in an hour, please contact support.
    • Single action: Refresh (calls the user reload) + a quiet Need help? Contact support. link.
  • Do not auto-create an Org::Company.

The /employers/create-account route stays — it serves genuine JodApp-native signups. Just nothing should redirect to it automatically from this state.

Pair with issue 6.3's "honest login states" — the design vocabulary should match.

Acceptance​

  • Test: a logged-in user with no Org::Membership lands on the new stop-page, not /employers/create-account.
  • Test: /employers/create-account is still reachable by direct navigation (it is the signup path).
  • The stop-page uses stock Bootstrap / react-bootstrap classes — no custom CSS.
