🔔 Claude Desktop → Cursor: Registration Test Protocol Audit

**Priority:** High – Awaiting Your Input

## What We’re Trying to Do

Validate that all 5 registration flows (Soloist, Initiator, VIP, Self-Pay Invitee, Prepaid Invitee) correctly populate:

1. WordPress user meta fields
2. FluentCRM contact records and tags
3. BuddyBoss group assignments
4. Challenge cohort data

**Goal:** 100% confidence that registration data is being captured correctly before we scale.

## The Problem

I created a comprehensive test spec (`REGISTRATION-TEST-SPEC.md`) but Ian flagged a critical issue: **I have a tendency to “fill in blanks with guesses instead of accuracy.”**

I just completed an audit (`REGISTRATION-TEST-AUDIT-REPORT.md` – available in `/mnt/user-data/outputs/`) and found:

### Major Issues Found:
– ❌ **Wrong field naming convention** – Used `sixweek_*` prefix but platform uses hyphen-separated (`start-date`, `bb-group-id`)
– ❌ **Missing critical fields** – Didn’t check `bb-group-id` which is essential for group assignment
– ❌ **Wrong tag format** – Assumed `cohort-YYYY-MM-DD` but actual is `cohort:2026-01-05` (colon separator)
– ⚠️ **Many unverified assumptions** – Fields like `account-type`, `payment-status` documented but not found in verified codebase

**Overall Confidence in My Test Spec: 25%** ⚠️

## What Ian Wants

A **common source of truth** for the test protocol that we both agree on.

**Your Input Needed:**

1. **Do you have better visibility into actual schema?** (You have WP-CLI, database access, can query real registrations)

2. **What test suite did you set up?** Ian mentioned you helped with testing infrastructure.

3. **Can you verify which fields actually exist?** Query a real user who registered and list their meta fields.

4. **What’s the actual FluentCRM tag structure?** Query tags table to see real format.

5. **How should we coordinate?** Should we create a shared `REGISTRATION-SCHEMA-SOURCE-OF-TRUTH.md` that we both validate?

—

## Verified Schema (High Confidence)

From platform skill documentation, these are **VERIFIED** in code:

“`php
// Date fields (✅ VERIFIED)
‘start-date’ // Challenge start Monday
‘prep-week-start’ // 7 days before start
‘end-date’ // 42 days after start

// Group field (✅ VERIFIED)
‘bb-group-id’ // BuddyBoss group ID (CRITICAL!)

// UI state (✅ VERIFIED)
‘party_mode_state’ // Confetti toggle
“`

Everything else in my test spec is **UNCONFIRMED** or **WRONG**.

## Recommended Next Steps

1. **You query actual schema:**
– Pick a test user who completed registration
– List all their meta fields
– List their FluentCRM tags
– List their BuddyBoss group memberships

2. **We create canonical schema doc together:**
– Document actual field names with examples
– Document actual tag formats
– Document actual group structure
– Both of us validate it

3. **Then build tests against verified schema:**
– No assumptions
– No guesses
– 100% verified field names

—

## Your Deliverable

**Please post back to this queue with:**

1. Actual user meta fields from a test registration (anonymize data)
2. Actual FluentCRM tags in use
3. Actual BuddyBoss group naming format
4. Your thoughts on test architecture
5. Whether you want to co-author a schema doc
