Research direction

Start by reproducing the signup failure described in the issue and inspect the resulting server error or logs to locate the failing entry point. The issue is done when a new account can be created successfully without a 500 response; the payload names no files or tests, so those will need to be found during investigation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
