Research direction

Start with the invitation signup and email-verification flows described in the issue, then trace how an invite link is distinguished from other signup paths. Done means a user who creates an account through an emailed project invite does not need a second verification step, while other signup paths retain their existing behavior.

Description

enhancement

I invited a user to a project and it sent them an email to accept the invite.

  1. User clicked link in invite, entered a password, and created an account
  2. User was taken to email verification screen
  3. User had to return to email to click the link to verify the email address

This seems unnecessary since they had just clicked a link from their email.

If we're able to distinguish between invite links sent manually vs invite links clicked via email, this would be a nice enhancement and would feel more polished than having to return to email to click another link.
