The invite link is token-only, so the landing page couldn't tell the invited
email or whether an account existed — it dumped everyone on an empty register
screen. Now it calls a public lookup (/api/invite/lookup → be-crm) and:
- first-time invitee → register with the email prefilled + locked;
- email already registered → sign in with the email prefilled;
- signed-in + registered → accept immediately; signed-in + no profile → onboarding.
Login now redeems the pending invite after sign-in (password/OTP/OAuth), so an
existing user's invite is accepted on login (not only when already logged in).
- Registration no longer asks for a role/persona (removed the role select +
allottee block); crm.account.register sends no persona.
- New users have no permissions → the sidebar now shows only Dashboard + Profile
for them, gated on crm.account.me (membership + permissions). Members see the
areas their permissions allow.
- Add /portal/invite?token=… : accepts the invite for a signed-in registered
user, or routes an unregistered invitee through register/onboarding, which
redeems the stashed token on completion (granting the invited role).
- Team Management: 'Copy link' on pending invites builds the invite link from
the invitation token (no email delivery yet).
