Follow-ups from live testing:
- Game-account creation is now an admin Settings control (disabled / website /
hybrid / game) instead of a hidden on/off flag. The site offers creation for
website+hybrid; help text notes the shard's SignupMode (Bridge.cfg) has the final
say. game_account_signup setting widened to a 4-value enum + validated on save.
- Invites: the accept link is ALWAYS returned and shown with a Copy button, and a
"Email the invitation" toggle lets an admin create a link-only invite (no email)
or email it. Backend takes sendEmail (default true) and always returns acceptUrl.
- Staff can create a game account from their own /admin/characters page too
(POST /admin/shard/account → the shared createGameAccount controller), so the
form is reachable in both the player and admin portals.
Note: the admin Houses view (/admin/houses) already worked; the earlier failure
was a stale Vite HMR state for the new route (needs a hard refresh).
Client build clean; server routes load; swagger regenerated.
