Error message

Member not found in Space ${spaceId}.

What it means

Thrown by the invite-accept/approve mutation when models.workspaceUser.get(workspaceId, userId) returns no role record - the member row does not exist for that user/workspace pair. Reported as member_not_found_in_space (action_forbidden, HTTP 403).

Solutions

1. Verify the userId actually has a pending/UnderReview membership in that workspace before accepting.
2. Re-issue the invite to create a fresh membership row.
3. Check the workspaceId/userId pairing - membership is scoped per workspace.

const membership = await getWorkspaceUser(workspaceId, userId);
if (!membership) throw new Error('No membership record; request a new invite');
// only then accept/approve

function hasMembership(row: unknown): row is { status: string } {
  return !!row && typeof (row as any).status === 'string';
}

try {
  await acceptInvite(workspaceId);
} catch (e) {
  if (isGraphQLError(e, 'member_not_found_in_space')) showInvalidInviteNotice();
  else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling accept/approve for a userId that has no workspaceUser row in the given workspace (never invited, already removed, or wrong id).

Common situations: Stale invite link after the membership was revoked; wrong userId passed (typo or cross-workspace id); the member was already removed by an admin.
