Account registration no longer works

[AndrewNatoli]

When logging in with an unregistered phone number the backend 500's

cmpd-nominations-api: Error: user not found
cmpd-nominations-api:     at AccountService.verifyUser (cmpd-holiday-gift/backend/nominations-api/src/modules/auth/v2/account.service.ts:152:19)

Which should tell the front end to redirect to the registration form. The registration form does not get displayed; it hangs on the screen where you enter your verification code.
