Research direction
Reproduce the issue by disabling Accounts > Registration > Registration Form, creating a channel invite URL, and opening it in the browser. Trace the invite-page entry point that renders the “Register new account” button; done means the button is absent when manual registration is disabled, while the invite flow remains usable.
