Resolved a critical issue preventing the first user from registering on newly deployed instances. The fix includes:
- Added missing logger import in `backend/auth_routes.py`, resolving a "logger not defined" error.
- Improved the `owner` check in `backend/app.py` to account for missing `is_owner` column during initial database migrations.
- Implemented graceful error handling for column existence checks to prevent runtime failures during startup.
- These fixes ensure smooth initial registration without internal server errors on fresh deployments.
