Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on develop.element.io in Firefox: create a private space, open the invite modal, and follow the “share this space” link. Trace that private-room or space sharing flow; done means private rooms and spaces no longer offer a copyable share link while the intended teammate invite path remains usable.
