Creates the Sarvex-side member record `{email, role}` and emails a sign-in link. **This is the
invite — there is no separate IdP step.** Sarvex authorizes by email; the IdP (Kinde, including
social sign-in) authenticates. On first sign-in the verified token's email claim is matched to this
record, resolving the merchant + role. No password is set or held by Sarvex.
