📄 Description

Closes https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/6392

Summary by cubic

Adds disableImplicitLinking to accountLinking to stop auto-linking during OAuth sign-in. When enabled, users must link providers explicitly; new user sign-up still works.

  • New Features

    • account.accountLinking.disableImplicitLinking (default false).
    • Blocks implicit linking on sign-in, even for trusted providers or verified emails.
    • Explicit linking supported via linkSocial() while authenticated.

  • Migration

    • Set account.accountLinking.disableImplicitLinking: true to opt in.
    • Update flows to use linkSocial() (e.g., from Settings) to link providers.
    • Expect existing users signing in with an unlinked provider to be redirected with error=account_not_linked.

Written for commit 3c421711a9. Summary will update on new commits.
