Group Cart Invite Preview

Reads an invite before anyone commits to it — what a guest sees on the "Alex invited you to order from …" screen.

It takes the raw invite_token, works without a signed-in customer, and deliberately returns a slim view: the store name, the host's display name and the session status. No roster, no invite token, no cart.

A 200 does not mean the invite is usable. A locked, cancelled or expired session still returns 200 here; check status and expires_at yourself and let Group Cart Join be the authority.
