What it is
The invitation row stores an explicit expiry timestamp computed at creation. Accept and validate both check it, and the pending list renders relative time until expiry so an admin can see which invites are about to lapse.
Also called: invite expired · old invite link still works · invite timeout

How it works
- 1computeExpiresAt() stamps now + 48 hours onto the invitation row.
- 2isExpired() gates the accept path and drives the UI badge.
- 3Pending invitations show time-since-sent and time-until-expiry.
Why we built it
An invite link is a bearer credential that grants a named role inside a company's account. A link forwarded in a group text or left in an inbox for a year is an open door, so the token has a short life and a visible clock.
The problem
- Invitation links were long-lived bearer credentials with no visible lifetime.

What you get
A forwarded or leaked invite link stops working quickly.
The pending list shows at a glance which invites need resending.
