You This session is being continued from a previous conversation that ran out of context. The summary below covers the earlier portion of the conversation.
Analysis:
Let me chronologically analyze the conversation:
1. **First task: Implement "Random Fill" dev tooling plan**
- User asked to implement a plan for dev-only "Random Fill" testing tools
- I created `src/lib/test-tracks.ts` with 29 pre-computed YouTube tracks
- I modified `src/routes/party/[token]/+page.server.ts` to add `devAddRandomSongs` action
- I modified `src/routes/party/[token]/+page.svelte` to add dev UI (Random Fill button + Bulk Add section)
- Build and all 69 tests passed
2. **Second task: Commit all changes**
- User ran `/commitall`
- I split into two commits: one for multi-song RSVP infra (pre-existing uncommitted work), one for dev tooling
- Both commits succeeded
3. **Third task: Bypass email verification in dev**
- User said: "It's still asking me to click on an emailed link during development to start the party creation process. We need to bypass this."
- I modified `src/routes/create/+page.server.ts` to import `dev` from `$app/environment` and skip email when `dev === true`
- I cleaned up the svelte template to remove the `devVerifyUrl` branch
- Build and all 69 tests passed
4. **Fourth task: Rework invite email subject/body**
- User said: "Let's work on the default invite message. Show the subject and allow it to be edited, with a default of 'You're Invited to (name of party)'. For the body let's include the party description at the top, followed by these instructions..."
- I added `customInviteSubject` column to schema
- Generated migration `0008_military_wallflower.sql`
- Updated `email-templates.ts` to restructure `renderInviteEmail` with description, songsRequired, new default body text
- Changed `sendInviteEmail` in `email.ts` from positional params to an options object `InviteEmailOptions`
- Updated all 3 callers in `+page.server.ts` (sendInvite, bulkInvite, sendTestEmail)
- Added subject field to party settings UI
- Added subject field to create page UI
- Updated create page server to handle `customInviteSubject`
- Updated test assertion for new default message text
- Updated `verifyCreatorEmail` helpers in all test files (simplified since dev bypass means no email step)
5. **Test failures began**
- First run: 59 failed, 10 passed (6.4 min timeout)
- Root cause identified: tests run against production build (`bun run build && bun run preview`), so `dev` from `$app/environment` is `false`
- Fix attempt 1: Changed from `dev` to `!platform?.env?.RESEND_API_KEY` runtime check
- Still failing: 57 failed, 12 passed
- Root cause: `redirect(303, '/create')` to same URL doesn't work well with `use:enhance`
- Fix attempt 2: Changed from `redirect()` to returning `{ verified: true }` and relying on `update()` to re-run load
- Still failing on specific tests related to custom invite message
- Running single tests showed: `max attendees defaults` PASSES but `custom invite message` FAILS
- Error: `page.waitForURL` times out - the "Create Party" submission doesn't redirect
6. **Current state of investigation**
- The create form IS showing correctly (verified by error context snapshots)
- The custom message IS being filled in correctly
- The "Create Party" button click doesn't result in redirect to `/party/`
- The issue seems to be that the `customInviteMessage` textarea now always has a `name` attribute and sends empty string, while the old code conditionally included a hidden input only when the message differed from default
- Wait, actually the old code had: `{#if customInviteMessage !== DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE} <input type="hidden" name="customInviteMessage" value={customInviteMessage} /> {/if}` — so the form field name was conditional
- The new code has `name="customInviteMessage"` directly on the textarea, so it ALWAYS sends the field. If empty, the server gets an empty string which should be fine (it checks `?.trim() || null`)
Let me look more carefully at what might be failing. The create form has `use:enhance` that only handles `result.type === 'redirect'`:
```js
use:enhance={() => {
return async ({ result }) => {
if (result.type === 'redirect') {
try { sessionStorage.removeItem(STORAGE_KEY); } catch {}
window.location.href = result.location;
}
};
}}
```
This enhance callback does NOT call `update()` for non-redirect results. So if the create action returns a failure (error), the page just sits there without showing the error. The tests that work (like `max attendees defaults`) don't fill in the custom message field and succeed. The tests that fail DO fill in the custom message field.
Wait, but the custom message IS filled correctly per the snapshot. The create action should work...
Actually, I think the real problem might be that the test fills the `custom-invite-message` textarea, which triggers binding and sets `customInviteMessage` state. But now the textarea has `name="customInviteMessage"` directly — the form data includes the custom message. The server parses it and stores it. The create action should work fine...
Hmm, let me think about what else could cause the `create` action to fail silently (no redirect). The enhance callback doesn't handle errors, so if the action returns `fail(400, ...)`, nothing happens on the page.
Actually wait - the problem could be something else entirely. The test for "custom invite message appears in invite emails" does:
1. Goes to /create
2. Verifies email (new simplified flow)
3. Fills form fields including custom message
4. Clicks Create Party
5. Waits for URL /party/
The verify flow now returns `{ verified: true }` instead of `{ emailSent: true }`. The enhance callback on the verify form calls `update()`. BUT — `update()` resets the form. The creation form has field persistence via sessionStorage, but the verify form is separate.
Wait no, let me re-read. The verify form and creation form are DIFFERENT forms. The verify form's enhance resets that form. The creation form has its own enhance. They're in different `{#if}` blocks.
Actually, I think I need to look at this from a completely different angle. These tests that fill custom-invite-message were probably failing BEFORE my email subject changes, because the old code had `{#if customInviteMessage !== DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE}` which conditionally rendered a hidden input. Now the textarea always has the name attribute, so it always sends the value.
But wait, the tests WERE passing before my latest changes. The issue is specifically in this session's changes.
Let me look at the test more carefully:
```ts
test('custom invite message appears in invite emails', async ({ page, request }) => {
const creatorEmail = uniqueEmail('custmsg-host');
const customMsg = 'Bring your dancing shoes and your best playlist picks!';
await page.goto('/create');
await verifyCreatorEmail(page, request, creatorEmail);
await page.locator('#name').fill('Custom Msg Party');
await page.locator('#date').fill('2026-07-04');
await page.locator('#createdBy').fill('Custom Host');
await page.locator('[data-testid="custom-invite-message"]').fill(customMsg);
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Create Party' }).click();
await page.waitForURL(/\/party\//);
```
This test doesn't go through `createParty()` helper — it manually fills the form. It doesn't set a start time or duration, so the computed guest count will be null.
The problem could be that the `customInviteSubject` field is now ALWAYS submitted (it has a `name` attribute), and if it's empty, the server receives an empty string. Let me check the server handling:
```ts
const rawCustomSubject = data.get('customInviteSubject')?.toString()?.trim() || null;
const customInviteSubject = rawCustomSubject ? rawCustomSubject.slice(0, 200) : null;
```
This should handle empty string fine — it becomes null.
Actually wait, I need to re-examine. The test `max attendees defaults to 50` PASSES. That test uses `createParty()` helper. The `createParty()` helper doesn't fill the custom message. Let me check what the `createParty` helper in party-creation.spec.ts does...
The helper function in party-creation.spec.ts is:
```ts
async function createParty(page, request, options) {
const creatorEmail = options.creatorEmail || uniqueEmail('host');
await page.goto('/create');
await verifyCreatorEmail(page, request, creatorEmail);
await page.locator('#name').fill(options.name || 'Test Party');
await page.locator('#date').fill('2026-07-04');
await page.locator('#createdBy').fill(options.createdBy || 'Test Host');
// ... optional fields
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Create Party' }).click();
await page.waitForURL(/\/party\//);
}
```
This doesn't fill custom message, subject, startTime, duration. And it works.
The failing test fills `[data-testid="custom-invite-message"]` with a custom message. The question is: why does this cause the create action to fail?
Hmm, actually let me reconsider. Maybe the test is running in parallel with other tests, and the shared webserver has stale migration state. But no, the tests build fresh each time.
Wait — maybe the issue is simpler. Let me look at the error snapshot again. It showed the create form with fields filled. The button was [active]. But the page didn't redirect. Maybe the create action is returning a 400 error because of the new `customInviteSubject` field or something else.
Actually, I just realized: the `create` action's enhance callback ONLY handles `result.type === 'redirect'`. If the action returns `fail()`, nothing visible happens — the page just sits there. This is actually the existing behavior, not something I broke. But if my changes cause the create action to fail for some reason...
Let me look at what could cause the action to fail. The action validates name, date, createdBy, maxAttendees. None of those should be affected.
OK wait, let me look at something else. The tests that DON'T go through `createParty()` helper — like the custom message tests — manually do `verifyCreatorEmail` then fill the form. After `verifyCreatorEmail`, the verify form's `update()` runs, which calls `invalidateAll()`. This could potentially interfere with the creation form's state.
Actually, I think I may be overthinking this. Let me look at whether ALL the failing tests share a common pattern, or if it's specifically the custom message tests.
From the single-file test run:
```
3 failed
- custom invite message appears in invite emails
- default message used when custom message is empty
- custom message editable in settings
```
These are all custom message tests! The others in the same file passed. So the issue is specifically with tests that interact with the custom message field.
Let me think about what changed. Before my changes:
- The textarea was: `<textarea id="customInviteMessage" rows="4" maxlength="2000" bind:value={customInviteMessage} ...>`
- It had a `placeholder={DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE}`
- Below it: `{#if customInviteMessage !== DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE} <input type="hidden" name="customInviteMessage" value={customInviteMessage} /> {/if}`
- The state was: `let customInviteMessage = $state(DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE);`
So the textarea did NOT have a `name` attribute. The form data was sent via the hidden input ONLY when the message differed from default. And the initial state was the DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE text.
After my changes:
- `let customInviteMessage = $state('');` (empty string, not default)
- The textarea has `name="customInviteMessage"` directly
- No conditional hidden input anymore
- A new subject input was added: `name="customInviteSubject"`
The key difference: the textarea now ALWAYS sends the form data (since it has `name`). When empty, it sends empty string. When the test fills it, it sends the custom value. This should be fine.
But wait — maybe the issue is with how the test fills the field. The test does:
`await page.locator('[data-testid="custom-invite-message"]').fill(customMsg);`
With Svelte's `bind:value`, filling a textarea updates the state. But since the textarea now has `name="customInviteMessage"`, the form data is taken from the DOM directly, not from the hidden input. This should work fine.
Actually, I just realized I should check the FULL test run output, not just the party-creation tests. Let me focus. The user's complaint was "What is happening? You seem to be stuck running very slow tests."
The user is right. I should:
1. Understand the current state of all changes
2. Figure out what's wrong with a targeted approach
3. Fix it
The current state:
- Schema has `customInviteSubject`
- Migration generated
- Email template restructured
- `sendInviteEmail` uses options object
- All callers updated
- UI has subject + body fields
- Create page bypass uses `!platform?.env?.RESEND_API_KEY` check
- Test helpers simplified
The failing tests need investigation, specifically why create action fails when custom message field is interacted with.
Actually, now I'm wondering - could it be that the test for "default message used when custom message is empty" was working before because `createParty` fills in a custom message? No, that test creates its own party.
Let me look at the "default message" test again - it uses `createParty()` helper which works. Then it sends an invite and checks the email HTML. The assertion was changed from `'Pick a song to RSVP'` to `'to the playlist when you RSVP'`. That should match the new template. But wait, maybe the test still times out at the invite sending step or something. Actually, the error said `page.waitForURL` times out, which is the create step.
Hmm, but `createParty()` works for the `max attendees` test. Unless `createParty()` is different in the same file... Actually, looking at the tests, the "default message" test uses `createParty()`, but "custom invite message" does NOT — it manually fills the form. And "custom message editable in settings" also manually fills.
So the issue is: tests that manually create a party (not using `createParty()` helper) AND fill in the custom message are failing. The `createParty()` helper works fine because it doesn't fill custom message.
Wait, but what about all the decline-flow tests? Those use `createParty()` and they were also failing in the full suite run. Unless they pass individually but fail in parallel...
I think the issue might be that the full suite run was starting a single server and running all tests in parallel, but the server only built once. The failing tests might have been running before the server finished starting, or there's a parallel contention issue.
Let me focus: from the single-file targeted run, 3 tests fail in `party-creation.spec.ts`. Those 3 are the custom message tests. The rest pass. Let me figure out what's different about those 3.
The key difference: those tests manually fill the form fields (including `[data-testid="custom-invite-message"]`) without using `createParty()`.
But wait - `createParty()` also has an `options.customMessage` parameter... actually no, looking at the code, `createParty()` in party-creation.spec.ts doesn't have a customMessage option. It never fills the custom message field.
So the 3 failing tests DO fill the custom message. One also fills it in settings (the "editable in settings" test).
Could the problem be simpler — maybe the `fill()` triggers form validation or something? Or maybe the form has an error I'm not seeing because the enhance callback swallows errors?
Actually, for the "default message" test, it uses `createParty()` (which should work) then sends an invite and checks the email. But it's failing at `page.waitForURL`... Wait, let me re-read. The test file says:
```
3 failed
- custom invite message appears in invite emails
- default message used when custom message is empty
- custom message editable in settings
```
The "default message" test:
```ts
test('default message used when custom message is empty', async ({ page, request }) => {
const creatorEmail = uniqueEmail('defmsg-host');
await createParty(page, request, { creatorEmail });
...
```
This uses `createParty()`. But it's still failing. Hmm. But the `max attendees` test also uses `createParty()` and passes. What's different?
Oh! Maybe the issue is that in the full file run with 3 failed, the "default message" test fails because a PREVIOUS test left the page in a bad state. But Playwright tests run in isolation with their own browser contexts...
Actually, I think when I ran the single-file test, ALL the tests in party-creation.spec.ts ran. The output says "3 failed" and "X passed". So the `createParty()` helper DOES work. The 3 that fail are the ones that manually construct the form OR check the email content.
Wait, the "default message" test checks `expect(data.emails[0].html).toContain('to the playlist when you RSVP');`. Maybe the email wasn't sent because `createParty` worked but the invite-sending part failed?
No wait, the error says `page.waitForURL` which is the create step. Let me look at the "default message" test again:
```ts
test('default message used when custom message is empty', async ({ page, request }) => {
const creatorEmail = uniqueEmail('defmsg-host');
await createParty(page, request, { creatorEmail });
const guestEmail = uniqueEmail('defmsg-guest');
await page.locator('[data-testid="invite-name"]').fill('Default Guest');
...
```
This test uses `createParty()` which should work fine (no custom message). But then it interacts with the party page. If it times out, maybe it's timing out waiting for something on the party page, not the create page?
Actually, looking at the full test output, the errors show different error contexts for each test. Let me focus on what I know:
- The full 69-test suite shows many failures
- A single-file run shows only 3 failures in party-creation.spec.ts
- These failures might be related to my changes or might be pre-existing
The user's last message is telling me I'm wasting time running slow tests. I should document the current state and pending issues.
Let me now compile the summary carefully.
Summary:
1. Primary Request and Intent:
The user had three sequential requests:
- **Request 1**: Implement a dev-only "Random Fill" plan for testing — pre-computed test tracks, a "Random Fill" button on the RSVP form, and a "Bulk Add" dev tool for accepted attendees. **(Completed and committed)**
- **Request 2**: Bypass the email verification link during development for party creation. **(Completed, but interacts with Request 3's test changes)**
- **Request 3**: Rework the default invite email — show an editable subject line (default "You're Invited to {party name}"), restructure the body to include party description at top followed by RSVP instructions mentioning song count, and instructions about inviting friends without forwarding the message. **(In progress — implementation done, tests failing)**
2. Key Technical Concepts:
- SvelteKit `$app/environment` `dev` is a compile-time constant — `false` in production builds including test builds (`bun run build && bun run preview`)
- Runtime check `!platform?.env?.RESEND_API_KEY` is the correct way to detect "no email service" in both dev and test
- SvelteKit `use:enhance` with `update()` calls `invalidateAll()` which re-runs server load functions
- `redirect()` to same URL may not trigger re-render with `use:enhance` — returning a success result and relying on `update()` is safer
- Drizzle ORM migrations (`bunx drizzle-kit generate`, never `push`)
- `sendInviteEmail` refactored from 12+ positional parameters to an options object interface
3. Files and Code Sections:
- **`src/lib/test-tracks.ts`** (NEW - completed)
- 29 pre-computed YouTube tracks with metadata (url, videoId, title, thumbnail, channelName, durationSeconds)
- Exports `pickRandomTracks(count, excludeVideoIds)` helper
- No YouTube API calls needed
- **`src/lib/server/db/schema.ts`** (modified)
- Added `songsRequiredToRsvp` column (earlier commit)
- Added `customInviteSubject: text('custom_invite_subject')` to parties table
```ts
songAttribution: text('song_attribution').notNull().default('hidden'),
customInviteSubject: text('custom_invite_subject'),
customInviteMessage: text('custom_invite_message'),
```
- **`drizzle/0008_military_wallflower.sql`** (NEW - generated)
- Migration for `customInviteSubject` column
- **`src/lib/server/email.ts`** (modified)
- `sendInviteEmail` refactored from positional params to options object:
```ts
export interface InviteEmailOptions {
to: string;
inviteeName: string;
inviterName: string;
partyName: string;
partyDate: string;
partyTime: string | null;
partyLocation: string | null;
magicUrl: string;
platform?: App.Platform;
partyLocationUrl?: string | null;
description?: string | null;
songsRequired?: number;
customSubject?: string | null;
customMessage?: string | null;
replyTo?: string;
}
export async function sendInviteEmail(opts: InviteEmailOptions): Promise<void> {
const { renderInviteEmail } = await import('./email-templates');
const html = renderInviteEmail({
inviteeName: opts.inviteeName,
inviterName: opts.inviterName,
partyName: opts.partyName,
partyDate: opts.partyDate,
partyTime: opts.partyTime,
partyLocation: opts.partyLocation,
partyLocationUrl: opts.partyLocationUrl,
magicUrl: opts.magicUrl,
description: opts.description || undefined,
songsRequired: opts.songsRequired,
customMessage: opts.customMessage || undefined
});
const subject = opts.customSubject || `You're Invited to ${opts.partyName}`;
await sendEmail(opts.to, subject, html, 'invite', {
inviteeName: opts.inviteeName,
inviterName: opts.inviterName,
partyName: opts.partyName,
magicUrl: opts.magicUrl
}, opts.platform, opts.replyTo);
}
```
- **`src/lib/server/email-templates.ts`** (modified)
- `renderInviteEmail` restructured to accept `description`, `songsRequired`
- New template structure: description at top, party details, then default instructions or custom message, CTA "RSVP Now" button
- New default body text:
```
You'll be asked to add {N song/songs} to the playlist when you RSVP.
Feel free to invite your friends! But don't forward this message — you can add them on the invite page.
```
- **`src/routes/create/+page.server.ts`** (modified)
- Email verification bypass: uses `!platform?.env?.RESEND_API_KEY` to skip email and set cookie directly, returns `{ verified: true }` (NOT `redirect()`)
```ts
if (!platform?.env?.RESEND_API_KEY) {
cookies.set(VERIFY_COOKIE, token, {
path: '/create',
httpOnly: true,
sameSite: 'lax'
});
return { verified: true };
}
```
- `create` action: parses `customInviteSubject` from form data, inserts into DB
- **`src/routes/create/+page.svelte`** (modified)
- Removed `DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE` constant
- Changed `customInviteMessage` initial state from default text to empty string `''`
- Added `customInviteSubject` state variable
- Added subject input field with `name="customInviteSubject"` and dynamic placeholder
- Changed textarea to have `name="customInviteMessage"` directly (previously used conditional hidden input)
- Removed the `{#if customInviteMessage !== DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE}` conditional hidden input
- Removed `devVerifyUrl` template branch (simplified to just "Check Your Email")
- Form persistence updated to include `customInviteSubject`
- **`src/routes/party/[token]/+page.server.ts`** (modified)
- Load function returns `customInviteSubject` in party data
- All 3 `sendInviteEmail` callers updated to options object format, now pass `description`, `songsRequired`, `customSubject`
- `updateSettings` handles `customInviteSubject`
- `devAddRandomSongs` action added (from Request 1)
- **`src/routes/party/[token]/+page.svelte`** (modified)
- Settings section: added "Invite Email Subject" input field, relabeled "Invite Email Message" to "Invite Email Body"
- Dev tooling: Random Fill button on RSVP form, Bulk Add section (from Request 1)
- **Test files** (all modified):
- `verifyCreatorEmail` helper simplified in ALL test files (decline-flow, edge-cases, invite-flow, party-creation, song-management):
```ts
async function verifyCreatorEmail(page: Page, _request: any, email: string): Promise<void> {
await page.locator('[data-testid="creator-verify-email"]').fill(email);
await page.locator('[data-testid="verify-email-btn"]').click();
await page.locator('#name').waitFor();
}
```
- `party-creation.spec.ts`: Updated default message assertion from `'Pick a song to RSVP'` to `'to the playlist when you RSVP'`, and custom message negative assertion similarly
4. Errors and Fixes:
- **Edit tool whitespace mismatch**: File uses tabs, my edit strings had spaces. Fixed by reading exact file content and matching whitespace.
- **`dev` compile-time constant false in test builds**: Tests run against production build (`ADAPTER=node bun run build && bun run preview`), so `import { dev } from '$app/environment'` is `false`. Fixed by switching to runtime check `!platform?.env?.RESEND_API_KEY`.
- **`redirect(303, '/create')` same-URL issue**: SvelteKit's `use:enhance` calling `goto('/create')` when already on `/create` didn't properly reload. Fixed by returning `{ verified: true }` instead and relying on `update()` → `invalidateAll()` to re-run the load function.
- **Ongoing: 3 tests in party-creation.spec.ts still failing** after targeted run: `custom invite message appears in invite emails`, `default message used when custom message is empty`, `custom message editable in settings`. The exact root cause is still under investigation. These tests interact with the custom invite message field. The full suite run (69 tests) shows ~57 failures but this may be due to parallel execution amplifying the issue.
- User feedback: "What is happening? You seem to be stuck running very slow tests." — The full E2E suite takes 6+ minutes. User wants me to stop spinning on slow test cycles.
5. Problem Solving:
- **Solved**: Dev-only random fill tooling (complete, committed)
- **Solved**: Email verification bypass for local dev (cookie set directly, no email sent)
- **Solved**: `sendInviteEmail` API cleanup (options object vs 12 positional params)
- **Solved**: Email template restructured with description + song count
- **Ongoing**: 3 party-creation tests failing. Likely cause: the `customInviteMessage` textarea now always has `name` attribute and sends form data directly (previously used conditional hidden input). The initial state also changed from `DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE` to `''`. This may cause the create action to receive unexpected form data, or the test expectations may need updating. Need to investigate with targeted debugging, not full suite runs.
6. All User Messages:
- "Implement the following plan: # Plan: Dev-Only 'Random Fill' for Testing..." (detailed plan with file changes and implementation steps)
- `/commitall` (slash command to commit all changes)
- "It's still asking me to click on an emailed link during development to start the party creation process. We need to bypass this."
- "Let's work on the default invite message. Show the subject and allow it to be edited, with a default of 'You're Invited to (name of party)'. For the body let's include the party description at the top, followed by these instructions. 'Click here to RSVP: (party link). You'll be asked to add (N) songs to the playlist when you RSVP. Feel free to invite guests! But don't forward this message. You can add them on the invite page.' Or something like that."
- "What is happening? You seem to be stuck running very slow tests."
7. Pending Tasks:
- Fix the 3 failing tests in `party-creation.spec.ts` (custom invite message tests)
- Verify full E2E suite passes (69 tests)
- These changes have NOT been committed yet
8. Current Work:
The invite email subject/body rework is fully implemented but 3 tests are failing. The last investigation found that when running `party-creation.spec.ts` individually, exactly 3 tests fail — all related to the custom invite message:
- `custom invite message appears in invite emails` — manually fills form with custom message, clicks Create Party, times out waiting for `/party/` URL
- `default message used when custom message is empty` — uses `createParty()` helper, then checks email content
- `custom message editable in settings` — creates party with message A, updates to message B in settings
The error snapshot shows the create form IS displayed correctly with fields filled, but the "Create Party" submission doesn't redirect. The create form's `use:enhance` callback only handles `result.type === 'redirect'`, so if the action returns `fail()`, nothing visible happens.
The likely root cause is a change in how `customInviteMessage` is submitted. Previously, the textarea had no `name` and a conditional hidden input sent the value only when it differed from `DEFAULT_INVITE_MESSAGE`. Now the textarea has `name="customInviteMessage"` directly and the initial state is `''` (not the default text). This could cause the form to always send the `customInviteMessage` field. Need to verify the server-side handling doesn't have an issue with empty/non-empty values from the new field structure.
9. Optional Next Step:
Debug why the 3 custom-message tests fail using a targeted, fast approach (not full suite). The test error shows `page.waitForURL` timing out after clicking "Create Party", meaning the create action likely returns an error silently. Investigate by:
1. Adding the create action's error response to the enhance callback so errors are visible
2. OR checking the server response directly in a test to see what error the create action returns
3. The most likely fix: the create form now always sends both `customInviteSubject` (empty) and `customInviteMessage` (empty or filled). Need to verify the server action handles these correctly — specifically check if the new `customInviteSubject` parsing or `customInviteMessage` handling causes a validation error.
