The allowlist entry does not let the first-user walk complete on staging.

Staging sets AUTH_ALLOWED_DOMAINS (values-staging.yaml:186), so the instance gate is on. Staging also has no SMTP2GO key (values-staging.yaml email block, email.enabled: false). For walk-<stamp>@example.invalid, POST /api/auth/register passes the domain check at authController.ts:421. It then returns 503 INSTANCE_VERIFICATION_UNAVAILABLE at lines 426–430, before any user is created. The walk's signup step expects 201, so it stops there. The failure moves from the domain check to the delivery check.

Adding a deliverable domain would not fix this. Signup still needs email delivery while the gate is on. Even with SMTP configured, sendEmail skips reserved-domain recipients (emailService.ts:31–40). The account would stay unverified, and login would refuse it with INSTANCE_ACCESS_RESTRICTED (authController.ts:867). A correct fix needs a design decision: how the walk obtains a usable staging session. The diff alone does not establish that. No patch is proposed.

Review comment at @k8s/helm/commonly/values-staging.yaml at line 186:
Do not treat the `AUTH_ALLOWED_DOMAINS` entry as a fix: staging signup still
requires email verification, which is unavailable for reserved-domain
recipients. Establish a staging flow that provides a usable verified session
before changing the allowlist or registration behavior; the diff does not
specify that design.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
