Invalid value for auto_invite.mode. Valid values are "invite

Error message

Invalid value for auto_invite.mode. Valid values are "invite" and "add"

What it means

pushWorkspaceSettings validates the local auto_invite settings before calling the remote API: auto_invite.mode must be either "invite" (send invitation emails) or "add" (add users directly); any other string is rejected.
