#1474 Plus-addressed emails stripped on invite acceptance, breaking collective join and quest reward

Opened by stack72 · 7/29/2026

Description

When inviting a user with a plus-addressed email (e.g. [REDACTED-EMAIL]), the invitation email arrives correctly with the full address. However, when the invited user accepts the invite, the system strips the +swamp subaddress portion from the email.

Impact

This causes two failures:

  1. Collective membership not granted — the invited user is not added to the collective because the email on their account ([REDACTED-EMAIL]) no longer matches the invitation email ([REDACTED-EMAIL]), so claimPendingInvitations never matches.
  2. Invite quest reward not issued — the inviter does not receive the swamp quest payout for the invitation, since the invite is never successfully claimed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. As a collective owner, invite [REDACTED-EMAIL] to your collective
  2. The invitation email arrives at the correct plus-addressed email
  3. Click the invite link in the email to accept
  4. Sign up / sign in with the invited email address
  5. Observe: the +swamp portion is stripped from the email, the user is not added to the collective, and the inviter receives no quest reward

Expected Behavior

Plus-addressed emails (RFC 5233 subaddressing) should be preserved throughout the invitation flow. The user should be added to the collective and the inviter should receive their quest reward.
