## 🎯 CURRENT SESSION - GEMINI TRANSITION & VALIDATION (Dec 16, 2025)

### Gemini Development Environment Setup

**Objective:** Transition from Claude Code-specific tooling to Gemini/Antigravity agent development workflow.

**Completed:**
1. ✅ **Created `GEMINI.md`** - New development guidelines
   - Critical safety constraints for Cloudways Shared VPS
   - Workflows for testing (`/test`) and deployment
   - Coding standards (Singleton pattern, security, PHP 8+ modernization)
   - Agent personas (Tester, Security Auditor, Deployment Engineer)

2. ✅ **Environment Configuration**
   - Updated `.gitignore` to allow `.agent/`, `.mcp.json`, `GEMINI.md`
   - Created `/home/ben/dev/upskill-event-manager/.agent/workflows/test.md`
   - Fixed file access blocked by gitignore

3. ✅ **PHP 8+ Compatibility Verification**
   - **Issue:** `true|\WP_Error` syntax causing PHP fatal errors on staging (PHP 8.0)
   - **Fix:** Changed to `bool|\WP_Error` in `includes/class-hvac-security-helpers.php:231`
   - **Status:** Deployed to staging, verified working

4. ✅ **Comprehensive Test Suite**
   - **File:** `test-comprehensive-validation.js` (Playwright E2E tests)
   - **Fixed:** Login form selectors (`#user_login`, `#user_pass`, `#wp-submit`)
   - **Modes:** Headless (default) or headed (`DISPLAY=:1 HEADLESS=false`)
   - **Results:**
     - Master Trainer pages: ✅ ALL PASSING (4/4)
     - Security endpoints: ✅ ALL SECURE (4/4)
     - Trainer pages: ⚠️ Require authentication (expected)

**Test Results Summary:**
```
✅ Master Dashboard - Functional with navigation
✅ Announcements - Fully functional & responsive
✅ Pending Approvals - Fully functional & responsive
✅ Trainers - Fully functional & responsive

🔒 Security: All AJAX endpoints properly secured (401/400 responses)
   - hvac_get_trainer_stats
   - hvac_manage_announcement
   - hvac_approve_trainer
   - hvac_approve_trainer_v2
```

**Test Credentials Updated:**
- `test_master` / `Test123!` (hvac_master_trainer)
- `test_trainer` / `Test123!` (hvac_trainer)
- `test_admin` / `Test123!` (administrator)

5. ✅ **Master Trainer Navigation Dropdown Fix** (Dec 16, 2025)
   - **Issue:** Green/teal colored boxes appearing in navigation toolbar instead of dropdown arrows
   - **Root Cause:** Empty `<span class="menu-toggle">` elements with CSS background styling
   - **Fix:** Replaced with `<span class="dropdown-arrow">▼</span>` in `includes/class-hvac-master-menu-system.php:327`
   - **Impact:** All master trainer pages (`/master-trainer/*`)
   - **Status:** ✅ Deployed to staging, verified working
   - **Verification:** Screenshots confirm dropdown arrows display correctly, green boxes removed

## 📁 RECENT DEPLOYMENTS

### v2.1.7 - Critical Nonce Fix (Nov 3, 2025)
**Issue:** Announcement submission completely broken - nonce mismatch  
**Fix:** Changed nonce action from `hvac_announcements_admin_nonce` → `hvac_announcements_nonce`  
**Files:** `includes/class-hvac-announcements-admin.php` (line 96)  
**Status:** ✅ Deployed to staging, fully functional

### v2.1.6 - Technical Debt Cleanup
**Fixes:**
1. Version synchronization (2.0.0 → 2.1.6 in plugin header)
2. FOUC prevention (modal `display: none` by default)
3. Conditional logging (`error_log()` → `HVAC_Logger::log()`)

### v2.1.5 - Z-Index Stacking Fix
**Issue:** WordPress media modal appearing behind announcement modal  
**Fix:** Reduced announcement modal z-index from 999999 → 100000  
**Result:** Media modals (z-index 160000) now properly stack on top

## 🔧 KEY DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES

### GEMINI.md Rules (NEW)
1. **Safety First:**
   - NEVER delete files outside project directory
   - NEVER execute `rm -rf` without confirmation
   - NEVER modify system configs (`/etc/*`, `/var/*`)
   - NEVER deploy to production without explicit request

2. **Infrastructure Constraints:**
   - Cloudways Shared VPS (limited resources)
   - Do NOT force PHP version changes
   - Do NOT install system-level packages
   - Be mindful of CPU/RAM usage

3. **Testing Mandatory:**
   ```bash
   node test-comprehensive-validation.js
   ```

4. **Security Standards:**
   - Always sanitize input
   - Always escape output
   - Verify nonces on forms & AJAX
   - Check roles/capabilities

### WordPress Architecture
- **Singleton Pattern:** All core classes use `::instance()`
- **Template Security:** All templates start with security check
- **PHP 8+ Modernization:** In progress (avoid PHP 8.2+ features)
