amal66 closes a small but real sharing-access gap

A narrow access-control fix makes invited collaborators less likely to be locked out because their email address is written differently.

amal66 has tightened the check used when people share work with colleagues. Email addresses are now compared in a more consistent form, so harmless differences in capitalisation or formatting should not cause an invited collaborator to be refused access.

It is a modest change, but it addresses the kind of failure that surfaces at exactly the wrong moment: a lawyer or client has been invited into a matter, yet cannot open it because two systems represent the same address slightly differently.

So what Teams relying on shared project access should care because identity edge cases can become practical collaboration and confidentiality problems.

commit body Chapter: 16 - Consistent identity matching. Plain-English map: Lowercase emails before checking whether a user has shared access to a project. Why it matters: People do not think of email case as meaningful. Access checks that disagree with that expectation create confusing denials and uneven security behavior. Principle: Normalize identity fields before comparing them. Precedent borrowed: Upstream PR #79. Upstream base: willchen96/mike@d39f580. Original local commit: e740508.
