+
+### Status
+**Ready for Review**
+
+### Agent Model Used
+Claude Opus 4.5 (claude-opus-4-5-20251101)
+
+### File List
+
+**Created:**
+- `resources/views/livewire/admin/timelines/show.blade.php` - Volt component for timeline detail page with updates management
+- `app/Notifications/TimelineUpdateNotification.php` - Notification class for client email when updates are added
+- `resources/views/emails/timeline-update.blade.php` - Email template for timeline update notification
+- `tests/Feature/Admin/TimelineUpdatesManagementTest.php` - 30 Pest tests for timeline updates management
+
+**Modified:**
+- `app/Models/Timeline.php` - Added chronological ordering to updates() relationship
+- `app/Enums/TimelineStatus.php` - Added label() method for status display
+- `routes/web.php` - Added admin.timelines.show route
+- `resources/views/livewire/admin/timelines/create.blade.php` - Updated redirect to show page after creation
+- `lang/en/timelines.php` - Added translation keys for updates management
+- `lang/ar/timelines.php` - Added Arabic translation keys for updates management
+- `lang/en/emails.php` - Added timeline update email translation keys
+- `lang/ar/emails.php` - Added Arabic timeline update email translation keys
+- `lang/en/messages.php` - Added update_added and update_edited messages
+- `lang/ar/messages.php` - Added Arabic update messages
+- `lang/en/enums.php` - Added timeline_status translations
+- `lang/ar/enums.php` - Added Arabic timeline_status translations
+- `tests/Feature/Admin/TimelineCreationTest.php` - Updated test to use assertRedirect() without specific route
+- `composer.json` / `composer.lock` - Added mews/purifier dependency
+
+### Change Log
+1. Installed `mews/purifier` package for HTML sanitization (XSS protection)
+2. Updated Timeline model to order updates chronologically (oldest first)
+3. Created TimelineUpdateNotification class with queued email support
+4. Created bilingual email template for timeline update notifications
+5. Created Volt component for timeline show page with:
+   - Timeline header (case name, reference, status, client info)
+   - Add update form with validation (min 10 chars)
+   - Visual timeline with chronological updates display
+   - Edit update functionality
+   - Audit logging for add/edit operations
+   - Client notification dispatch on new updates
+6. Added admin.timelines.show route
+7. Added TimelineStatus::label() method and enum translations
+8. Created 30 comprehensive Pest tests covering all acceptance criteria
+9. All 568 tests pass (regression verified)
+
+### Completion Notes
+- Component path is `admin/timelines/show.blade.php` (matching existing structure)
+- Rich text formatting is supported via HTML Purifier which allows safe tags (strong, em, a, ul, ol, li)
+- AdminLog uses `action` field (not `action_type` as in story spec) to match existing model
+- Timeline creation now redirects to the show page instead of dashboard
+- Visual timeline uses a vertical line design with circular nodes for updates

+## QA Results
+
+### Review Date: 2025-12-27
+
+### Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
+
+### Risk Assessment
+- **Depth Determination:** Standard review (no high-risk triggers)
+- Auth/payment/security files: No ✓
+- Tests present: Yes (30 tests) ✓
+- Diff lines: ~500 (moderate) ✓
+- Previous gate: N/A (first review)
+- Acceptance criteria count: 17 (moderate) ✓
+
+### Code Quality Assessment
+
+**Overall Assessment: Excellent**
+
+The implementation demonstrates high-quality code that follows established patterns and best practices:
+
+1. **Volt Component Pattern:** Correctly uses class-based Volt component matching project conventions
+2. **Security:** XSS protection via `mews/purifier` with `clean()` helper properly implemented
+3. **Audit Logging:** Complete audit trail with old/new values for edit operations
+4. **Notifications:** Queued notification with proper locale-aware email template
+5. **Model Relationships:** Chronologically ordered `updates()` relationship implemented correctly
+6. **Validation:** Proper validation with custom error messages and bilingual support
+7. **UI/UX:** Clean visual timeline design with Flux UI components
