## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table.
Recent decisions affecting current work:

| Phase | Decision | Rationale |
|-------|----------|-----------|
| 01-02 | Custom capability_type 'job_offer' not 'post' | Security isolation - prevents providers from accessing regular posts |
| 01-02 | German labels for CPT | Per PROJECT.md: German only for v1 |
| 01-02 | Archive slug 'jobangebote' | German URL structure for SEO and clarity |
| 01-03 | Jobs submit to pending status | Enforces admin approval workflow per PROJECT.md core value |
| 01-03 | Logo as image ID not URL | Better media library integration, access to all sizes |
| 01-03 | Deactivation reason field conditional | Shows only when status != publish for clean admin UI |
| 02-01 | Programmatic Formidable form creation | Form config in code ensures consistent field structure across environments |
| 02-01 | Auto-login after registration | Seamless UX - users don't need to log in separately after registering |
| 02-01 | Username from email prefix | Simpler than asking for separate username, with uniqueness checks |
| 02-02 | Combined login/registration page | Single entry point reduces user confusion, matches PROJECT.md requirements |
| 02-02 | Inline CSS for page styling | Self-contained styling, avoids enqueueing complexity for v1 |
| 02-03 | Dashboard shows pending/draft jobs | Providers need visibility into submission status, not just published |
| 02-04 | Profile.php exception for providers | Providers must be able to change password/email without WP-Admin access |
| 02-04 | admin-ajax.php exception | Required for Formidable forms and frontend AJAX to work |
