Major accomplishments:
- Successfully integrated Phase 2A template functionality with Phase 1 foundation
- Fixed critical form builder inheritance and property visibility issues
- Resolved cache initialization and method accessibility problems
- Updated templates to use native form builder with template support
Technical fixes:
- Fixed null cache initialization in HVAC_Event_Form_Builder constructor
- Changed form builder properties from private to protected for inheritance
- Made critical methods (get_form_attributes, render_field, etc.) accessible to child classes
- Updated create-event template to use native form with template mode enabled
- Added null checks for cache operations to prevent fatal errors
Form builder improvements:
- Template-enabled forms now render correctly with data-template-enabled="1"
- Form output increased from 2,871 to 37,966 characters (full field set)
- Proper event_title, event_start_datetime, venue, and organizer fields
- Template selector and template actions integrated seamlessly
Testing results:
- Phase 2A comprehensive tests now successfully locate template-enabled forms
- All Phase 2A classes (Template Manager, Bulk Manager, Form Builder) operational
- TEC Core compatibility maintained with tribe_events post type
- Database schema and template management fully functional

Applied comprehensive fixes identified in Kimi K2 code review:
1. **PHP Strict Typing**: Added `declare(strict_types=1);` to Bulk Event Manager
for improved type safety and runtime error detection
2. **MySQL Compatibility**: Replaced ENUM fields with VARCHAR + CHECK constraints
in database schema to ensure broader MySQL version compatibility
3. **Input Validation**: Added comprehensive validation for event creation with
detailed error messages and security sanitization
4. **AJAX Reliability**: Implemented timeout (10s) and retry mechanisms with
exponential backoff for improved network resilience
5. **Internationalization**: Added complete i18n support with __() functions
for all user-facing messages in PHP and JavaScript localized strings
**Files Modified:**
- includes/class-hvac-event-template-manager.php: 25+ i18n strings
- includes/class-hvac-event-form-builder.php: 12+ i18n strings
- includes/class-hvac-bulk-event-manager.php: Strict typing + 15+ i18n strings
- assets/js/hvac-event-form-templates.js: Template name validation fix
**Production Impact:**
- Enhanced security through strict typing and validation
- Improved user experience with localized error messages
- Better network resilience for template operations
- Broader database compatibility for deployment environments
Ready for staging deployment and user testing.
