What it is
A shared normaliser strips non-digits and prepends the country code to a bare 10-digit North American number, so a number typed as (555) 123-4567 matches the same number reported in E.164 form by the identity provider.
Also called: invited by phone number · phone invite stuck pending

How it works
- 1normalizePhone() strips non-digits, prepends 1 to a bare 10-digit number, and returns unusual lengths untouched rather than mangling them.
- 2Both the stored invitation and the account's verified phone are normalised before comparison.
Why we built it
The function's own comment describes the bug: 'a raw strip-and-compare never matches and a phone-only invitee gets stuck in pending forever.' For a builder whose crew has phones and no email, that was the default outcome.
The problem
- Phone-invited users were never matched to their invitation because of formatting differences.
