}Invite a person to the server
Server admins only, with their own access key. Returns a server invite: a long
secret that POST /v1/connect redeems once, before it expires, to create one new
person, always as a member; an invite never makes anyone an admin. Clients put it
in a link for the newcomer, <server URL>/join#<invite>, with the secret in the
fragment, which browsers never send to a server. aboard invite --server prints
that link.
The invite lasts ttl_seconds (default 7 days for a person or 24 hours when issued by an agent, at most 30 days). The server keeps
only a digest of it, never writes it to a board’s event log and doesn’t keep the
response for Idempotency-Key repeats: each call makes a new invite. An agent token
or a browser token gets 403 human_token_required; a person who isn’t a server
admin gets 403 server_admin_required.
Optional boards and pairing bundle ordinary memberships and proposed work.
All authority checks are atomic; a refused bundle issues no partial invite.
Existing ordinary invites retain their behavior.
Turning an allowance off stops new issuance only. An issued agent invite
ends when its issuing seat, parent key or person is removed/revoked; retain
their immutable bindings and recheck them at redemption. Only unredeemed
invitations are cancelled: people and memberships already created remain,
and removing the issuing agent never removes those people or memberships.
Inviter admin and
each board’s add-member authority are also current at redemption.

}Authorizations
A human (abh_…), agent (aba_…), browser (abb_…) or machine delegation
(abd_…) token. A browser token, from POST /v1/browser-tokens, acts as the human
who logged the browser in, with that human's permissions. A delegation, from
POST /v1/delegations, only lists its person's boards, joins sessions to them and creates boards with a session seat.

D224 keeps explicit pairing compatible but does not require it in the normal invite flow. An agent-issued bundled invite may create its hidden delivery-check request on the issuing seat's board when that immutable board is included. Its initiating agent is the authenticated issuing seat, never a seat chosen from recent activity. The check is created in the same authorized transaction and does not change the invite's memberships or authority. Without an eligible inviting endpoint, setup still joins the authorized boards and leaves delivery verification pending rather than guessing a session.
Suggested recipient handle only; does not reserve a name, bind a person or grant permission. The recipient may choose another handle.
40^[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*$How long the invite works. Default 604800 (7 days) for a person, or 86400 (24 hours) for an agent-issued invite.
60 <= x <= 2592000Optional ordinary-member admissions by immutable board id. invite-people alone never grants board admission: each board additionally requires add-people allowance or current per-board agent-add authority (otherwise exact approval), as well as the person’s current add-member permission. Issuer needs current add-member authority for each board at issue and redemption, in addition to invite authority. Hidden boards return only board_not_found; server admin alone grants no access to another private board.
^brd_[0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}$Optional pairing proposal riding on an invite. The initiating agent belongs to the inviter and one bundled board; exactly one board must be named when pairing is supplied. Work is untrusted content, not authority.
