Describe the bug
The signInWithOtp method does not return any indication of which OTP type (sign-up confirmation or magic link) was sent. This makes it unclear which flow to follow in the verifyOtp method, as the OTP type depends on whether the user's email is verified.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Call signInWithOtp with an email that may or may not be verified.
  2. Observe that the method returns null, with no indication of whether a sign-up confirmation or a magic link email was sent.

Expected behavior
I expect signInWithOtp to return an indicator of the OTP type (e.g.,the email is verified, sign-up confirmation or magic link) so that I can handle the appropriate verification flow in the verifyOtp method.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
