+# Phase 7 Plan: Captcha & Validation
+
+## Goal
+Add spam protection with reCAPTCHA v2/v3 and hCaptcha support, implement client-side inline validation (no JavaScript alerts), and improve error message display.
+
+## Context
+- Settings already support captcha provider selection from Phase 3
+- Legacy used JavaScript alerts for validation (poor UX)
+- We'll use modern inline validation with field highlighting
+- Captcha verification happens server-side for security
+- Form handler already has validation, we're adding client-side and captcha
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### 1. Create Captcha Verification Class
+
+**File**: `includes/class-captcha.php`
+
+**Class**: `Umzugsliste_Captcha`
+
+**Methods**:
+- `get_instance()` - Singleton
+- `is_enabled()` - Check if captcha is enabled
+- `get_provider()` - Get current provider (none/recaptcha_v2/recaptcha_v3/hcaptcha)
+- `render_widget()` - Render captcha widget in form
+- `enqueue_scripts()` - Load captcha provider scripts
+- `verify_response()` - Verify captcha response server-side
+- `verify_recaptcha_v2()` - Verify reCAPTCHA v2
+- `verify_recaptcha_v3()` - Verify reCAPTCHA v3
+- `verify_hcaptcha()` - Verify hCaptcha
+
+**Captcha Provider URLs**:
+- reCAPTCHA v2/v3: `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js`
+- hCaptcha: `https://js.hcaptcha.com/1/api.js`
+
+**Verification Endpoints**:
+- reCAPTCHA: `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify`
+- hCaptcha: `https://hcaptcha.com/siteverify`
+
+### 2. Integrate Captcha with Form Renderer
+
+**File**: `includes/class-form-renderer.php`
+
+**Changes**:
+- Call `Umzugsliste_Captcha::render_widget()` in submit section
+- Position captcha above submit button
+
+**Captcha Widget Rendering**:
+
+**reCAPTCHA v2** (checkbox):
+```html
+<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="[site_key]"></div>
+```
+
+**reCAPTCHA v3** (invisible):
+```html
+<input type="hidden" name="g-recaptcha-response" id="g-recaptcha-response">
+<script>
+grecaptcha.ready(function() {
+  document.getElementById('umzugsliste-form').addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
+    e.preventDefault();
+    grecaptcha.execute('[site_key]', {action: 'submit'}).then(function(token) {
+      document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').value = token;
+      e.target.submit();
+    });
+  });
+});
+</script>
+```
+
+**hCaptcha**:
+```html
+<div class="h-captcha" data-sitekey="[site_key]"></div>
+```
+
+### 3. Integrate Captcha with Form Handler
+
+**File**: `includes/class-form-handler.php`
+
+**Changes in `handle_submission()`**:
+- After nonce verification, verify captcha
+- Get captcha instance: `Umzugsliste_Captcha::get_instance()`
+- If enabled, call `verify_response()` with POST data
+- If verification fails, add error and redirect back
+
+**Captcha Verification**:
+```php
+$captcha = Umzugsliste_Captcha::get_instance();
+if ( $captcha->is_enabled() ) {
+	$verified = $captcha->verify_response( $_POST );
+	if ( ! $verified ) {
+		// Add error
+		$validation_errors[] = 'Captcha-Verifizierung fehlgeschlagen. Bitte versuchen Sie es erneut.';
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Add Client-Side Inline Validation
+
+**File**: `assets/js/form.js`
+
+**Add validation module**:
+
+**Functions**:
+- `validateField( $field )` - Validate single field
+- `validateEmail( email )` - Email format check
+- `validateRequired( value )` - Check if not empty
+- `showFieldError( $field, message )` - Display inline error
+- `clearFieldError( $field )` - Remove inline error
+- `validateForm()` - Validate all fields before submit
+
+**Validation Rules**:
+- **Required fields**: bName, bStrasse, bort, bTelefon, eName, eStrasse, eort
+- **Email format**: info[eE-Mail]
+- **Date**: day, month, year (must be valid date)
+- **Minimum items**: At least one furniture quantity > 0
+
+**Error Display**:
+- Add error class to field wrapper
+- Show error message below field (not alert!)
+- Red border on invalid field
+- Remove error on field change
+
+**Implementation**:
+```javascript
+// Field validation on blur
+$('input[required], input[type="email"]').on('blur', function() {
+	validateField($(this));
+});
+
+// Form validation on submit
+$('#umzugsliste-form').on('submit', function(e) {
+	if (!validateForm()) {
+		e.preventDefault();
+		// Scroll to first error
+		var $firstError = $('.field-error:first');
+		if ($firstError.length) {
+			$('html, body').animate({
+				scrollTop: $firstError.offset().top - 100
+			}, 500);
+		}
+	}
+});
+```
+
+### 5. Add Error Display Styling
+
+**File**: `assets/css/form.css`
+
+**Error styles**:
+```css
+.field-error {
+	border-color: #d32f2f !important;
+	background-color: #ffebee;
+}
+
+.error-message {
+	color: #d32f2f;
+	font-size: 0.875rem;
+	margin-top: 0.25rem;
+	display: block;
+}
+
+.validation-summary {
+	background-color: #ffebee;
+	border-left: 4px solid #d32f2f;
+	padding: 1rem;
+	margin-bottom: 1rem;
+}
+
+.validation-summary h3 {
+	color: #d32f2f;
+	margin-top: 0;
+}
+
+.validation-summary ul {
+	margin: 0;
+	padding-left: 1.5rem;
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Server-Side Error Display
+
+**File**: `includes/class-form-renderer.php`
+
+**Add method**: `render_validation_errors()`
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Check for transient errors at top of form
+- Display error summary box
+- Highlight fields with errors
+
+**Transient structure** (from form handler):
+```php
+array(
+	'messages' => array('Error 1', 'Error 2'),
+	'fields' => array('bName', 'info[eE-Mail]')
+)
+```
+
+**Display**:
+```html
+<div class="validation-summary">
+	<h3>Bitte korrigieren Sie folgende Fehler:</h3>
+	<ul>
+		<li>Name (Beladeadresse) ist erforderlich</li>
+		<li>Ungültige E-Mail-Adresse</li>
+	</ul>
+</div>
+```
+
+### 7. Update Form Handler Error Handling
+
+**File**: `includes/class-form-handler.php`
+
+**Changes in `validate_submission()`**:
+- Return structured errors with field names
+- Include field identifiers for highlighting
+
+**Error structure**:
+```php
+return array(
+	'messages' => array('Pflichtfeld fehlt: Name'),
+	'fields' => array('bName')
+);
+```
+
+## Captcha Provider Implementation Details
+
+### reCAPTCHA v2
+
+**Script**: `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js`
+
+**Render**:
+```html
+<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="site_key_here"></div>
+```
+
+**Verify**:
+```php
+$response = $_POST['g-recaptcha-response'] ?? '';
+$verify_url = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify';
+$response = wp_remote_post( $verify_url, array(
+	'body' => array(
+		'secret' => $secret_key,
+		'response' => $response,
+		'remoteip' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
+	)
+));
+$body = json_decode( wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response ), true );
+return isset( $body['success'] ) && $body['success'];
+```
+
+### reCAPTCHA v3
+
+**Script**: `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=site_key_here`
+
+**Render**:
+```html
+<input type="hidden" name="g-recaptcha-response" id="g-recaptcha-response">
+```
+
+**Execute on submit**:
+```javascript
+grecaptcha.execute('site_key', {action: 'submit'}).then(function(token) {
+	document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').value = token;
+	form.submit();
+});
+```
+
+**Verify** (same as v2 but check score):
+```php
+$body = json_decode( wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response ), true );
+return isset( $body['success'] ) && $body['success'] && $body['score'] >= 0.5;
+```
+
+### hCaptcha
+
+**Script**: `https://js.hcaptcha.com/1/api.js`
+
+**Render**:
+```html
+<div class="h-captcha" data-sitekey="site_key_here"></div>
+```
+
+**Verify**:
+```php
+$response = $_POST['h-captcha-response'] ?? '';
+$verify_url = 'https://hcaptcha.com/siteverify';
+// Same structure as reCAPTCHA
+```
+

+# Phase 7 Summary: Captcha & Validation
+
+## Completed: 2026-01-16
+
+## What Was Built
+
+Implemented complete spam protection with three captcha providers (reCAPTCHA v2, v3, hCaptcha) and modern inline validation replacing legacy JavaScript alerts. Added server-side captcha verification, client-side field validation, and comprehensive error display system.
+
+## Files Created
+
+### 1. includes/class-captcha.php
+**Purpose**: Captcha verification for all three providers
+
+**Methods**:
+- `get_instance()` - Singleton instance
+- `is_enabled()` - Check if captcha is enabled in settings
+- `get_provider()` - Get current provider (none/recaptcha_v2/recaptcha_v3/hcaptcha)
+- `render_widget()` - Render captcha widget HTML
+- `enqueue_scripts()` - Load provider scripts
+- `verify_response()` - Verify captcha response server-side
+- `verify_recaptcha_v2()` - reCAPTCHA v2 verification
+- `verify_recaptcha_v3()` - reCAPTCHA v3 verification with score check
+- `verify_hcaptcha()` - hCaptcha verification
+
+**Provider Integration**:
+- **reCAPTCHA v2**: Checkbox widget, verify endpoint with success check
+- **reCAPTCHA v3**: Invisible mode, execute on submit, score >= 0.5 required
+- **hCaptcha**: Widget similar to reCAPTCHA v2, separate verify endpoint
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Uses `wp_remote_post()` for API calls
+- Automatic script enqueuing based on provider
+- reCAPTCHA v3 prevents form submission until token obtained
+- Graceful degradation (works with captcha disabled)
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### 2. assets/js/form.js
+**Changes**: Added complete inline validation module (168 new lines)
+
+**Validation Functions**:
+- `validateEmail(email)` - Email format validation with regex
+- `validateRequired(value)` - Empty field check
+- `showFieldError($field, message)` - Add error class and message
+- `clearFieldError($field)` - Remove error class and message
+- `validateField($field)` - Validate single field
+- `validateFurnitureItems()` - At least one item with quantity > 0
+- `validateDate()` - All date fields selected
+- `validateForm()` - Complete form validation before submit
+
+**Event Handlers**:
+- Field blur → validate field
+- Field input → clear errors
+- Form submit → validate all, prevent if errors, scroll to first error
+
+**Validation Rules**:
+- Required fields: bName, bStrasse, bort, bTelefon, eName, eStrasse, eort
+- Email format: info[eE-Mail]
+- Date: day, month, year must all be selected
+- Furniture items: at least one quantity > 0
+
+**User Experience**:
+- Inline errors (no JavaScript alerts)
+- Real-time feedback on blur
+- Auto-scroll to first error on submit
+- Errors clear on field change
+
+### 3. includes/class-form-renderer.php
+**Changes**: Added error display and captcha widget
+
+**New Method**: `render_validation_errors()`
+- Checks for transient errors using session_id()
+- Displays error summary box at top of form
+- Deletes transient after displaying
+- Red border with error list
+
+**Modified Method**: `render_submit_section()`
+- Gets captcha instance
+- Renders captcha widget if enabled
+- Positions widget above submit button
+- Adds spacing between captcha and button
+
+**Modified Method**: `render()`
+- Calls `render_validation_errors()` at top of form
+- Ensures errors display before any form content
+
+**Error Transient Structure**:
+```php
+array(
+    'messages' => array('Error 1', 'Error 2'),
+    'fields' => array('bName', 'info[eE-Mail]')
+)
+```
+
+### 4. includes/class-form-handler.php
+**Changes**: Added captcha verification after nonce check
+
+**Verification Flow**:
+1. Verify nonce (security)
+2. **Verify captcha** (new)
+3. Validate submission data
+4. Sanitize data
+5. Save to CPT
+6. Send email
+
+**Captcha Integration** (lines 63-76):
+```php
+$captcha = Umzugsliste_Captcha::get_instance();
+if ( $captcha->is_enabled() ) {
+    $verified = $captcha->verify_response( $_POST );
+    if ( ! $verified ) {
+        // Store error in transient
+        // Redirect back to form
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Error Handling**:
+- Failed captcha → transient error → redirect to form
+- Error message: "Captcha-Verifizierung fehlgeschlagen. Bitte versuchen Sie es erneut."
+- Uses same transient system as validation errors
+
+### 5. assets/css/form.css
+**Changes**: Added comprehensive error styling (43 new lines)
+
+**Error Styles**:
+```css
+.field-error {
+    border-color: #d32f2f !important;
+    background-color: #ffebee !important;
+}
+
+.error-message {
+    color: #d32f2f;
+    font-size: 0.875rem;
+    margin-top: 0.25rem;
+}
+
+.validation-summary {
+    background-color: #ffebee;
+    border-left: 4px solid #d32f2f;
+    padding: 1rem;
+}
+```
+
+**Design Choices**:
+- Consistent red color (#d32f2f) for all errors
+- Light red background (#ffebee) for visibility
+- !important flags to override form styles
+- 4px left border on summary for emphasis
+
+### 6. umzugsliste.php
+**Changes**: Added captcha class to dependencies
+
+**Load Order**:
+- Loads class-captcha.php before class-form-renderer.php
+- Ensures captcha available when form renders
+- Singleton pattern requires no initialization
+
+## Captcha Provider Details
+
+### reCAPTCHA v2
+**Script**: `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js`
+**Widget**: `<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="...">`
+**Response**: `$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']`
+**Verification**: POST to `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify`
+**Success Check**: `$body['success'] === true`
+
+### reCAPTCHA v3
+**Script**: `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=SITE_KEY`
+**Widget**: Hidden input + JavaScript execute on submit
+**JavaScript**:
+```javascript
+grecaptcha.execute(SITE_KEY, {action: 'submit'}).then(function(token) {
+    document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').value = token;
+    form.submit();
+});
+```
+**Verification**: Same endpoint as v2
+**Success Check**: `$body['success'] === true && $body['score'] >= 0.5`
+
+### hCaptcha
+**Script**: `https://js.hcaptcha.com/1/api.js`
+**Widget**: `<div class="h-captcha" data-sitekey="...">`
+**Response**: `$_POST['h-captcha-response']`
+**Verification**: POST to `https://hcaptcha.com/siteverify`
+**Success Check**: `$body['success'] === true`
+
+## Validation Flow
+
+### Client-Side (JavaScript)
+1. User fills field → blur event → validate field
+2. Error? → add red border, show message
+3. User types → clear error
+4. User submits → validate all fields
+5. Errors? → prevent submit, scroll to first error
+6. No errors? → allow submit (server-side validation still runs)
+
+### Server-Side (PHP)
+1. Form submits → verify nonce
+2. Captcha enabled? → verify captcha
+3. Captcha fails? → store error in transient, redirect back
+4. Validate required fields and data

+## Success Criteria Met

+
+## What's NOT Included
+
+- ❌ i18n/translations (would require .pot/.po files, gettext functions)

+- ❌ Sonstiges free text field - Optional/Future
+- ❌ Multi-language support (keeping German for now)
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Session ID**: Uses `session_id()` for transient keys - may need alternative in some hosting environments
+2. **reCAPTCHA v3**: Requires JavaScript - no fallback for non-JS users
+3. **Captcha Keys**: Must be configured in settings - no default keys
+4. **Transient Timeout**: Errors expire after 5 minutes (300 seconds)
+5. **Email Validation**: Simple regex - doesn't catch all invalid formats
+
+## Dependencies Met
