Description

If I register to wire, delete my account, and then register again, the activation code I receive via SMS is always the same. It is expected to be random for obvious security reasons.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the registration and SMS activation-code flow, then determine where the code is generated and verify the behavior across account deletion and re-registration. Done means repeated registrations receive different activation codes, with regression coverage for that scenario.
