Calendar Integration Note
The availability-calendar component (from Story 3.3) uses the pattern $parent.selectSlot() to communicate slot selection back to the parent component. The parent booking component needs to have the selectSlot(string $date, string $time) method to receive this.

Mail Classes
Create mail classes using artisan:
php artisan make:mail BookingSubmittedMail
php artisan make:mail NewBookingRequestMail
Both mail classes should:
- Accept
Consultation $consultationin constructor - Use bilingual subjects based on recipient's
preferred_language - Create corresponding email views in
resources/views/emails/
Translation Keys Required
Add to lang/en/booking.php:
'request_consultation' => 'Request Consultation',
'select_date_time' => 'Select a date and time for your consultation',
'selected_time' => 'Selected Time',
'problem_summary' => 'Problem Summary',
'problem_summary_placeholder' => 'Please describe your legal issue or question in detail...',
'problem_summary_help' => 'Minimum 20 characters. This helps the lawyer prepare for your consultation.',
'continue' => 'Continue',

'slot_no_longer_available' => 'This time slot is no longer available. Please select another.',
'slot_taken' => 'This slot was just booked. Please select another time.',
Add corresponding Arabic translations to lang/ar/booking.php.

- Can select time slot
- Problem summary required (min 20 chars)
- 1-per-day limit enforced
- Race condition prevented with DB locking
- Confirmation step before submission
- Booking created with "pending" status
- Client email sent
- Admin email sent
- Audit log entry created
- Bilingual support complete
- All tests passing
- Code formatted with Pint
Dependencies
- Story 3.3: Availability calendar (COMPLETED)
- Provides
AvailabilityServicefor slot availability checking - Provides
availability-calendarLivewire component
- Provides
- Epic 2: User authentication (COMPLETED)
- Client must be logged in to submit bookings
- Epic 8: Email notifications (partial - mail classes needed)
Risk Assessment
| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Double-booking race condition | High | DB transaction with lockForUpdate() |
| Email delivery failure | Medium | Use queue with retries |
| Timezone confusion | Low | Use whereDate() for date comparison |

|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-12-26 | 1.0 | Initial draft | - |
| 2025-12-26 | 1.1 | Fixed column names (booking_date/booking_time), removed hallucinated duration field, fixed AdminLog column, removed invalid cross-story task, added Tasks/Subtasks section, aligned with source tree architecture | QA Validation |

QA Results
Review Date: 2025-12-26
Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
Risk Assessment
Review Depth: Standard - No high-risk triggers detected (no auth/payment files modified beyond expected booking flow, reasonable test coverage, appropriate line count, first review).
Code Quality Assessment
Overall: Excellent - The implementation is clean, well-structured, and follows Laravel/Livewire best practices.
Strengths:
- Clean Volt component architecture with proper separation of concerns
- Excellent race condition prevention using
DB::transaction()withlockForUpdate() - Double validation strategy (pre-confirmation + in-transaction) provides defense in depth
- Proper use of Flux UI components throughout
- Bilingual support complete with proper RTL handling in email templates
- Good error handling with user-friendly messages
Code Patterns:
book.blade.php:76-134- Transaction with pessimistic locking correctly prevents race conditionsbook.blade.php:48-52,90-95- 1-per-day validation checked both pre and in-transaction- Mail classes properly use

Test Architecture Assessment
Test Count: 18 tests, 50 assertions Test Level: Feature tests (appropriate for this user-facing workflow) Test Quality: High - tests cover happy path, validation, business rules, race conditions, and side effects
Coverage Analysis:
- ✓ Happy path submission flow
- ✓ Authentication guard
- ✓ All validation rules (required, min, max)
- ✓ Business rules (1-per-day, slot availability)
- ✓ Race condition scenarios (slot taken, user double-book)
- ✓ UI flow states (confirmation, back navigation, clear selection)
- ✓ Side effects (emails queued, audit log created)
Test Design Quality:
- Proper use of
Mail::fake()for email assertions - Good isolation with
beforeEachfor working hours setup - Race condition tests simulate real concurrent booking scenarios
- Tests verify both state changes and database records
Compliance Check
- Coding Standards: ✓ Code formatted with Pint
- Project Structure: ✓ Files in correct locations per architecture
- Testing Strategy: ✓ Feature tests with Pest/Volt
- All ACs Met: ✓ 22/22 acceptance criteria validated
Refactoring Performed
No refactoring performed - implementation is clean and follows best practices.
Improvements Checklist
- Race condition prevention with DB locking
- Double validation (pre + in-transaction)
- Email queuing for async delivery
- Proper loading states in UI
- Full bilingual support
- Audit logging for client actions
- Consider adding a test for admin-only notification when no admin exists (edge case - currently silently skips)
- Consider extracting the 1-per-day check to a query scope on Consultation model for reuse
Security Review
Status: PASS
- ✓ Authentication required via route middleware (
auth,active) - ✓ Authorization implicit (client can only book for themselves via
auth()->id()) - ✓ Input validation with Laravel validator
- ✓ SQL injection prevented via Eloquent ORM
- ✓ XSS prevented via Blade escaping
- ✓ CSRF protection via Livewire
- ✓ Race condition prevention via pessimistic locking
- ✓ Problem summary has max length (2000 chars) preventing payload attacks
Performance Considerations
Status: PASS
- ✓ Emails queued (not blocking request)
- ✓ Database queries are indexed (user_id, booking_date, status)
- ✓ No N+1 query issues in the booking flow
- ✓ Reasonable transaction scope (creates one consultation, logs one entry)
Files Modified During Review
None - no modifications needed.
