Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the registration and SMS activation-code flow, then determine where the code is generated and verify the behavior across account deletion and re-registration. Done means repeated registrations receive different activation codes, with regression coverage for that scenario.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If I register to wire, delete my account, and then register again, the activation code I receive via SMS is always the same. It is expected to be random for obvious security reasons.
