🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fill the remaining contributor slots when no verified user exists.

If $verified is empty, $random still returns only two users. The response then has three suggestions even when a fourth eligible user exists. This also leaves no contributor at index 2 in smaller result sets.

Fetch 3 - $verified->count() random users, or define and test an explicit fallback policy for unavailable verified users.

Proposed fix 
 $random = User::whereNotIn('id', $excludedIds)
     ->inRandomOrder()
-    ->take(2)
+    ->take(3 - $verified->count())
     ->get(['id', 'name', 'username', 'image_path', 'institution', 'is_verified']);

In `@app/Http/Controllers/AuthController.php` at line 128, Update the random
contributor query in the AuthController flow to fetch 3 minus the verified
collection count, so it fills all remaining suggestion slots when fewer verified
users are available. Preserve the exclusion of $excludedIds and ensure the
resulting contributor indexes remain contiguous.
