I had a thought that this might be tied to an overloaded single pairist instance. However, after stepping through the deployment process on a separate firebase account, I found that emails were still not sending correctly in the new instance.

I really don't understand why the "Reset Password" option within the Firebase Authentication tab isn't working, as that doesn't appear to be tied to our code (which is outdated) at all.

I've submitted a formal help request to Firebase support describing the issue. Hopefully they've some idea why that might not be working. 🤞
