 ## Estimation
 **Complexity:** Low | **Effort:** 2 hours

+
+## Dev Agent Record
+
+### Status
+Ready for Review
+
+### Agent Model Used
+Claude Opus 4.5 (claude-opus-4-5-20251101)
+
+### File List
+| File | Action | Description |
+|------|--------|-------------|
+| `app/Mail/BookingSubmittedMail.php` | Modified | Updated to implement ShouldQueue, add summary preview truncation, locale-based date/time formatting, and use separate language templates |
+| `resources/views/emails/booking/submitted/ar.blade.php` | Created | Arabic email template with RTL support, pending status panel, and response timeframe |
+| `resources/views/emails/booking/submitted/en.blade.php` | Created | English email template with pending status panel and response timeframe |
+| `tests/Feature/Mail/BookingSubmittedMailTest.php` | Created | 16 tests covering subject lines, summary truncation, date formatting, template selection, and queue behavior |
+
+### Change Log
+- Updated `BookingSubmittedMail` to implement `ShouldQueue` interface for async delivery
+- Added `getSummaryPreview()` method to truncate problem summary at 200 characters
+- Added `getFormattedDate()` method for locale-based date formatting (d/m/Y for Arabic, m/d/Y for English)
+- Added `getFormattedTime()` method for 12-hour time format
+- Changed from single view to separate markdown templates per language
+- Created Arabic template with proper RTL direction and Arabic content
+- Created English template with LTR content
+- Both templates include pending status panel and 1-2 business days response timeframe
+
+### Completion Notes
+- Used existing `BookingSubmittedMail.php` class name (not `BookingSubmittedEmail.php` as specified in story) to maintain compatibility with existing codebase and tests
+- Email dispatch already exists in `resources/views/livewire/client/consultations/book.blade.php:142-144`
+- Database constraints prevent null `preferred_language` and `problem_summary`, so edge case tests were adjusted accordingly
+- All 16 BookingSubmittedMail tests pass
+- All 21 BookingSubmission feature tests pass
+
+### Debug Log References
+None - implementation completed without issues
+

+
+## QA Results
+
+### Review Date: 2026-01-02
+
+### Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
+
+### Code Quality Assessment
+
+**Overall: Excellent** - The implementation is clean, well-structured, and follows Laravel best practices. The `BookingSubmittedMail` class properly implements the `ShouldQueue` interface for async delivery, uses Laravel's Mailable pattern correctly, and provides clear separation between Arabic and English templates.
+
+**Strengths:**
+- Clean class structure with public methods for helper functions (`getSummaryPreview`, `getFormattedDate`, `getFormattedTime`)
+- Proper use of Carbon for time parsing
+- Locale-aware date formatting (d/m/Y for Arabic, m/d/Y for English)
+- Summary truncation with proper boundary handling (200 chars + "...")
+- Email templates use the base email layout from Story 8.1 with Libra branding (navy header, gold accents, bilingual footer)
+- RTL support properly implemented in Arabic template
+
+**Minor Observations:**
+- The `locale` property is set in constructor but not used; envelope and content methods recalculate locale each time (minor redundancy, not a defect)
+
+### Refactoring Performed
+
+None required - code quality is production-ready.
+
+### Compliance Check
+
+- Coding Standards: ✓ Follows Laravel Mailable conventions, proper namespacing
+- Project Structure: ✓ Files in correct locations (`app/Mail/`, `resources/views/emails/booking/submitted/`)
+- Testing Strategy: ✓ 16 unit tests covering all acceptance criteria
+- All ACs Met: ✓ All 10 acceptance criteria verified
+
+### Requirements Traceability
+
+| AC | Requirement | Test Coverage |
+|----|-------------|---------------|
+| 1 | Sent immediately after consultation creation | `BookingSubmissionTest::emails are sent to client and admin after submission` |
+| 2 | Consultation status: pending | `BookingSubmissionTest::booking is created with pending status` |
+| 3 | Email queued for async delivery | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::booking submitted email implements ShouldQueue`, `email is queued when sent` |
+| 4 | Correct Arabic subject line | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::booking submitted email has correct subject in Arabic` |
+| 5 | Correct English subject line | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::booking submitted email has correct subject in English` |
+| 6 | Summary preview truncated at 200 chars | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::problem summary is truncated at 200 characters`, `summary exactly 200 characters is not truncated`, `summary under 200 characters is not truncated` |
+| 7 | Date formatted per locale | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::date is formatted as d/m/Y for Arabic users`, `date is formatted as m/d/Y for English users` |
+| 8 | Time formatted as h:i A | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::time is formatted as h:i A` |
+| 9 | Correct template per language | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::uses correct Arabic template for Arabic users`, `uses correct English template for English users` |
+| 10 | All content data passed to template | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::content includes all required data` |
+
+### Improvements Checklist
+
+- [x] Implements ShouldQueue for async delivery
+- [x] Locale-based subject lines (Arabic/English)
+- [x] Summary preview truncation at 200 characters
+- [x] Date formatting per user language preference
+- [x] Time formatting in 12-hour format
+- [x] Separate Arabic and English templates
+- [x] Arabic template has RTL direction
+- [x] Pending status panel in both templates
+- [x] Response timeframe (1-2 business days) included
+- [x] Uses base email layout with Libra branding
+
+### Security Review
+
+**Status: PASS**
+
+- No security concerns identified
+- Email content is properly escaped through Blade templates
+- No user input directly concatenated into HTML
+- Uses Laravel's built-in email sanitization
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+**Status: PASS**
+
+- Email is queued (implements ShouldQueue) preventing blocking of HTTP requests
+- Consultation model is serialized for queue, avoiding N+1 issues
+- Carbon parsing is minimal and efficient
+
+### Files Modified During Review
+
+None - no modifications required.
+
+### Gate Status
+
+Gate: **PASS** → docs/qa/gates/8.3-booking-submitted-confirmation.yml
+
+### Recommended Status
+
+✓ **Ready for Done** - All acceptance criteria met, comprehensive test coverage (37 tests passing), code quality is excellent, and follows project standards.
