Signup confirmation email never arrives (Windows, Buzz Desktop v0.5.5) #5125

Description

Description

During onboarding in Buzz Desktop, the account/workspace confirmation email never arrives.

Environment

  • Buzz Desktop version: 0.5.5 (alpha-unsigned, Windows x64 installer)
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro
  • Install source: GitHub release desktop-v0.5.5

Steps taken to rule out user error

  • Checked spam/junk folder — nothing received
  • Confirmed the email address entered at signup is correct and typo-free
  • Installer completed successfully and the app opens normally

Observed CLI-side symptom

Because the workspace/account was never confirmed, no relay is assigned to the identity yet. Inspecting agents/managed-agents.json under the app's Roaming data directory shows "relay_url": "" for the configured agents, so buzz CLI commands fail with a relay connection error (defaulting to http://localhost:3000) rather than a clear "workspace not yet confirmed" message.

Expected behavior

  • Confirmation email is delivered promptly, or
  • The app/CLI surfaces a clear, actionable error state (e.g. "workspace pending email confirmation — resend?") instead of leaving relay_url empty with no explanation.

Suggested improvements

  • Add a "resend confirmation email" action in the onboarding UI
  • Add a CLI/desktop diagnostic that explicitly reports "account pending confirmation" instead of a generic relay error
