Removing DelployBlocker, doesn't seem related to the backend.

@madmax330 I think the difference between your reproduction steps and the OP is that the OP is using attendees without already existing accounts.

Remove the blocker label per this thread: https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1746504195754449

Will investigate more tomorrow
