Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the request to /api/v3/core/users/{id}/recovery/ and the Admin portal path Directory > Users > Overview > Create recovery link on version 2026.5.6. Trace the 405 response and the modal failure, then verify that both entry points return a recovery link without the logged error.
