main ← fix/use-name-for-username-suggestions-description
opened 08:37AM - 30 Mar 26 UTC
The setting description said "Use a user's full name when suggesting usernames" …which implies it works everywhere, including the regular signup form. In practice, the setting only affects SSO and OAuth signup flows (via `DiscourseConnect#resolve_username` and `Auth::Result#username_suggester_attributes`). It was never wired up for the standard signup form because, in that flow, users fill in their username before their name — so name-based suggestions would be disruptive.
Updated the description to explicitly mention "during SSO and OAuth signup flows" so admins have correct expectations.
