Lets the account owner invite additional teammates directly, without operator
involvement. Invited members always join with the `staff` role — role changes and
owner reassignment remain operator-assisted (see
`/operator/merchants/{merchant_id}/members`). Capped at the account's team-member
seat limit (`GET /billing` → `usage.member_cap`; defaults to 5, configurable per
subscription). Creates the Sarvex-side member record and emails a sign-in link,
identical in effect to the operator invite flow.
