## 🏗️ **Architecture Overview**

### **Database Schema Changes**
```sql
-- New CategorySubscription model for subscription tracking
CategorySubscription {
  userId + categoryId (unique)
  status: ACTIVE/EXPIRED/CANCELLED
  startDate/endDate
}

-- Enhanced Message model for bid-specific chats
Message {
  bidId (optional) - Links message to specific bid
  isDisabled (default false) - For disabling chat
  messageType - text/file/milestone/system
}

-- Enhanced Bid model
Bid {
  messages[] - Relationship to chat messages
}
```

### **API Endpoints Structure**
```
/api/freelancer/membership/
├── status?category=X          # Check subscription for category
├── purchase                   # Purchase category subscriptions
└── active                     # Get all active subscriptions

/api/projects/
├── find                       # Open projects only (excludes awarded)
├── awarded                    # Projects awarded to freelancer
└── [projectId]/
    ├── bid                    # Place bid (with subscription validation)
    ├── award                  # Award project to freelancer
    ├── cancel                 # Cancel project (client only)
    └── chat/
        ├── messages?bidId=X   # Get bid-specific messages
        └── send?bidId=X       # Send bid-specific message

/api/freelancer/bids/[bidId]   # Update/delete bids
```

### **Email Notification System**
- ✅ **Service**: `EmailService` class in `/src/lib/email.ts`
- ✅ **Templates**: HTML email templates for:
  - Project awarded to freelancer
  - Project cancelled notifications  
  - New bid received by client
- ✅ **Integration**: Integrated into award, cancel, and bid creation flows

### **UI Components**
- ✅ **ProjectChat**: Enhanced with `bidId` prop and disabled state handling
- ✅ **Chat Disabled Notice**: Shows when chat is read-only due to award/cancellation
- ✅ **Subscription Validation**: Error handling when subscription is required for bidding

## 🔄 **User Flow Implementation**

### **Complete Bidding Flow**
1. **Freelancer** views project → System checks category subscription
2. **If no subscription** → Must purchase subscription first
3. **With subscription** → Can place bid → Chat automatically initializes
4. **Multiple freelancers** can bid → Each gets separate chat with client
5. **Freelancer** can update bid price → Chat remains active
6. **Client** awards project → Winner chat stays active, others become read-only
7. **Non-winners** receive notifications + emails about project award
8. **Winner** receives notification + email about winning
9. **Project** moves from find list to awarded list

### **Project Cancellation Flow**
1. **Client** cancels project with reason
2. **All chats** become read-only (can view but not send)
3. **All freelancers** receive notifications + emails about cancellation
4. **System** logs cancellation with refund calculation

## 🧪 **Testing & Development**

### **Database Migration**
```bash
npm run db:push      # Apply schema changes

```

### **Seeding Test Data**
