This all looks fine, so I would assume your assumptions on what is
supposed to happen here does not match with the design. By default,
invitations are not accepted automatically and you would need authorize
the invitation by starting the group at STA2 in this case. The status=1
response to STA1 indicates that the invitation was not pre-authorized by
the user. If you want invitations to be accepted automatically, you can
configure wpa_supplicant to do so by enabling persistent reconnection
(persistent_reconnect=1). In that case, STA2 would have accepted the
invitation automatically.
