## TEC Integration Fixes
- **FIXED**: Iframe infinite loop resolved by user correcting TEC Community URLs from /network/ to /community/
- **CREATED**: hvac-tec-integration.css with comprehensive styling for TEC forms
- **VALIDATED**: TEC edit forms now load properly with all fields visible and styled
## Investigation Results
- ✅ Template rendering issue resolved - iframe no longer creates redirect loop
- ✅ CSS 404 errors eliminated with proper stylesheet creation
- ✅ Form accessibility confirmed - all TEC fields display correctly
- ❌ Form submission still returns "Security check failed" - requires custom form approach
## Technical Implementation
- Added comprehensive CSS styling for TEC integration pages
- Implemented proper form field styling matching HVAC design system
- Enhanced responsive design for mobile compatibility
- Added loading states and error handling styles
## Files Modified
- `assets/css/hvac-tec-integration.css` (new): Complete TEC integration stylesheet
- `.claude/settings.local.json`: Updated SSH permissions for debugging
## Root Cause Analysis
The original iframe loop was caused by URL mismatch between plugin configuration
(/events/network/) and actual TEC Community URLs (/events/community/).
Form submission issues indicate need for custom WordPress form implementation.
## Next Steps
Implement custom WordPress event form following best practices to eliminate
dependency on TEC Community Events plugin limitations and provide complete
field control with native WordPress security.
