chore: add type to identity public api payload

[joanagmaia]

This pull request adds support for a new identity attribute, type, to member identities. The type distinguishes between different forms of identity (such as username or email) and is now included in the API schema, as well as in the relevant API responses.

Schema and API changes:

OpenAPI schema updates:

• Added a required type field to the identity schema in openapi.yaml, with allowed values username and email, and included it in the list of required fields. [1] [2]

API response updates:

• Updated the response objects in createMemberIdentity.ts, getMemberIdentities.ts, and verifyMemberIdentity.ts to include the new type field in their returned data. [1] [2] [3]

---

Note

Medium Risk
Adds a new required type field to the public MemberIdentity schema and returns it from identity endpoints, which can be a breaking contract change for existing API consumers.

Overview
Updates the public API contract for member identities by adding a required type attribute (enum: username | email) to MemberIdentity in openapi.yaml.

All member identity endpoints (createMemberIdentity, getMemberIdentities, verifyMemberIdentity) now include type in their response payloads to match the updated schema.
