+Fix duplicate mentor notifications when a job is edited and republished.
+
+Purpose: Mentors currently receive "new job" notifications every time a job transitions to
+publish status -- including after edits (pending -> publish). The notification should only
+fire once per job, on the very first publication. Subsequent republications after edits
+should be silent for mentors (the admin already gets a separate edit notification).
+
+Output: Updated `notify_mentors_on_job_publish` method with a post meta guard that prevents
+duplicate notifications.

+@includes/class-scheduler.php
+
+The bug is in `notify_mentors_on_job_publish()` (line ~430). The current guard:
+
+```php
+if ( 'publish' !== $new_status || 'publish' === $old_status ) {
+ return;
+}
+```
+
+This correctly prevents re-notification when a published post is updated (publish -> publish),
+but it does NOT prevent re-notification when a previously-published job is edited and reset
+to pending (per decision 03-02: "Post status reset to pending after edit"), then republished
+by admin (pending -> publish). This second publish triggers notifications again.
+
+The job lifecycle that causes the bug:
+1. Provider submits -> status: pending
+2. Admin publishes -> pending to publish -> mentors notified (CORRECT)
+3. Provider edits -> status reset to pending (per 03-02)
+4. Admin republishes -> pending to publish -> mentors notified AGAIN (BUG)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Task 1: Add post meta guard to prevent duplicate mentor notifications
+ includes/class-notifications.php
+
+In the `notify_mentors_on_job_publish` method, add a post meta check AFTER the existing
+status transition guard (line ~437) and BEFORE the mentor query (line ~442):
+
+1. Check if post meta `_ddhh_mentors_notified` exists and equals `'1'` for this post.
+ If it does, log a message like "DDHH Job Manager: Skipping mentor notification for
+ job #%d - mentors already notified on initial publish" and return early.
+
+2. After the `DDHH_JM_Scheduler::schedule_mentor_notification_batch()` call succeeds
+ (line ~457), set post meta: `update_post_meta( $post->ID, '_ddhh_mentors_notified', '1' )`.
+
+Use underscore-prefixed meta key `_ddhh_mentors_notified` so it is hidden from the
+WordPress custom fields UI.
+
+Do NOT change any other logic in this method or file. The existing status transition
+guard should remain as-is (it still serves a purpose for publish->publish transitions).
+
+
+1. Read the modified file and confirm:
+ - `get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_ddhh_mentors_notified', true )` check exists before mentor query
+ - `update_post_meta( $post->ID, '_ddhh_mentors_notified', '1' )` exists after scheduling
+ - No other methods were modified
+2. Run `php -l includes/class-notifications.php` to confirm no syntax errors
+
+
+The `notify_mentors_on_job_publish` method checks for `_ddhh_mentors_notified` post meta
+before scheduling notifications, and sets that meta after scheduling. This ensures mentors
+are only notified once per job, regardless of how many times the job transitions through
+pending -> publish.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+1. `php -l includes/class-notifications.php` passes with no syntax errors
+2. The `_ddhh_mentors_notified` meta key is checked before notification scheduling
+3. The `_ddhh_mentors_notified` meta key is set after successful scheduling
+4. No other notification methods were modified
+5. The existing `transition_post_status` guard logic is preserved
+
+
+
+- First publish of a job (pending -> publish) triggers mentor notifications and sets meta flag
+- Subsequent publishes of the same job (pending -> publish after edit) skip mentor notifications
+- Admin notifications for edits/republications are unaffected
+- No PHP syntax errors introduced
