mentor.getCandidates and mentor.getMentorPool both filtered on status='ACTIVE', which excluded every seeded mentor (status=NONE) and any INVITED mentor. Production scenario: PR 4's Manual Picker and PR 5's pool counts both rendered empty against real data. Filter changed to status != SUSPENDED — admins want to see all mentors they manage (including INVITED + NONE), but not suspended ones. Found via Playwright smoke of PR 5: pool count read 0 against 4 seeded mentors with roles[]=['MENTOR'], status='NONE'.
