+# TimeSafari Identity Verification Party System Plan
+
+## Objectives
+
+* Maintain strict conformity with TimeSafari's existing **DID, contact, and identity management**.
+* Ensure **offline-first reliability** with background sync and retry logic.
+* Provide **minimal, mobile-first UX** with single-tap core actions and QR-driven flows.
+
+## Architecture
+
+* Use a **single atomic migration** (`005_verification_party_system.sql`) following `registerMigration()` + `MIGRATIONS` array pattern.
+* Standardize timestamps (`dateCreated`, `dateVerified`) in **ISO-8601 UTC**.
+* Add `verification_session_logs` for audit trail and debugging.
+
+## Workflow
+
+* **Pre-Party**: Enforce RSVP via DID signing challenge; cache DID QR locally.
+* **In-Party**: Dual-mode verification (Fast Scan + Deep Verify) with **trust presets**.
+* **Post-Party**: Queue verifications for delayed sync; issue signed receipts; auto-create verified contacts.
+
+## Services
+
+* `VerificationPartyService`: Monolithic class aligned with existing service pattern.
+* `DidVerificationService`: Pluggable methods (QR, NFC, manual, photo ID).
+* `TrustNetworkService`: Add caching + **trust decay** unless renewed.
+
+## Security
+
+* Store **hashes of evidence** only (not raw PII).
+* Encrypt data with **per-user derived keys**.
+* Provide **per-verification sharing controls** (private, party-only, global).
+
+## UI/UX
+
+* Single-tap flows for RSVP, scan, verify.
+* Embed **trust level criteria** in UI to reduce inconsistency.
+* Optimize QR scanning and trust graph for **battery savings**.
+* Follow existing **i18n service** for multi-language support.
+
+## Priorities
+
+1. Migration + offline queue
+2. Dual-mode verification UI
+3. Trust graph caching + decay
+4. Privacy-hardened evidence handling
+5. Notification constants + helper integration

+## Database Schema
+
+### Migration 005: Verification Party System
+Add to `src/db-sql/migration.ts` in the `MIGRATIONS` array:
+
+```typescript

+```
+
+---
+
+## TypeScript Interfaces
+
+### Required Interface Definitions
+Add to `src/interfaces/verification-party.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Verification Party entity interface
+ */
+export interface VerificationParty {
+  id: number;
+  partyId: string;
+  organizerDid: string;
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+  location?: string;
+  scheduledDate?: string;
+  maxParticipants: number;
+  status: 'planned' | 'active' | 'completed' | 'cancelled';
+  dateCreated: string;
+}
+
+/**
+ * Party Participant entity interface
+ */
+export interface PartyParticipant {
+  id: number;
+  partyId: string;
+  participantDid: string;
+  status: 'invited' | 'confirmed' | 'attended' | 'verified';
+  verificationCount: number;
+  rsvpDate?: string;
+  checkInDate?: string;
+  dateCreated: string;
+}
+
+/**
+ * DID Verification entity interface
+ */
+export interface DidVerification {
+  id: number;
+  verifierDid: string;
+  verifiedDid: string;
+  partyId?: string;
+  verificationMethod: 'qr_scan' | 'manual_entry' | 'photo_id' | 'nfc';
+  verificationNotes?: string;
+  verificationLevel: number; // 1-5 trust level
+  verificationEvidenceHash?: string; // Hash of verification evidence
+  dateVerified: string;
+}
+
+/**
+ * Verification Session Log entity interface

+export interface VerificationSessionLog {
+  id: number;
+  partyId: string;
+  sessionAction: 'party_started' | 'participant_joined' | 'verification_completed' | 'sync_attempted';
+  participantDid?: string;
+  actionData?: string; // JSON blob of action-specific data
+  dateCreated: string;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## PlatformServiceMixin Integration
+
+### Required Methods
+Add to `PlatformServiceMixin`:
+
+```typescript
+// Add to PlatformServiceMixin methods
+async $insertVerificationParty(party: Partial<VerificationParty>): Promise<boolean> {
+  return this.$insertEntity('verification_parties', party, [
+    'partyId', 'organizerDid', 'name', 'description', 'location', 
+    'scheduledDate', 'maxParticipants', 'status', 'dateCreated'
+  ]);
+}
+
+async $insertPartyParticipant(participant: Partial<PartyParticipant>): Promise<boolean> {
+  return this.$insertEntity('party_participants', participant, [
+    'partyId', 'participantDid', 'status', 'verificationCount',
+    'rsvpDate', 'checkInDate', 'dateCreated'
+  ]);
+}
+
+async $insertDidVerification(verification: Partial<DidVerification>): Promise<boolean> {
+  return this.$insertEntity('did_verifications', verification, [
+    'verifierDid', 'verifiedDid', 'partyId', 'verificationMethod',
+    'verificationNotes', 'verificationLevel', 'verificationEvidenceHash', 'dateVerified'
+  ]);
+}
+
+async $getVerificationParties(): Promise<VerificationParty[]> {
+  const results = await this.$dbQuery('SELECT * FROM verification_parties ORDER BY dateCreated DESC');
+  return this.$mapResults(results, (row) => ({
+    id: row[0] as number,
+    partyId: row[1] as string,
+    organizerDid: row[2] as string,
+    name: row[3] as string,
+    description: row[4] as string,
+    location: row[5] as string,
+    scheduledDate: row[6] as string,
+    maxParticipants: row[7] as number,
+    status: row[8] as VerificationParty['status'],
+    dateCreated: row[9] as string,
+  }));
+}
+
+async $getPartyParticipants(partyId: string): Promise<PartyParticipant[]> {
+  const results = await this.$dbQuery(
+    'SELECT * FROM party_participants WHERE partyId = ? ORDER BY dateCreated DESC',
+    [partyId]
+  );
+  return this.$mapResults(results, (row) => ({
+    id: row[0] as number,
+    partyId: row[1] as string,
+    participantDid: row[2] as string,
+    status: row[3] as PartyParticipant['status'],
+    verificationCount: row[4] as number,
+    rsvpDate: row[5] as string,
+    checkInDate: row[6] as string,
+    dateCreated: row[7] as string,
+  }));
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Notification Constants
+
+### Required Notification Constants
+Add to `src/constants/notifications.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+// Used in: VerificationPartyCreateView.vue (createParty method)
+export const NOTIFY_PARTY_CREATED = {
+  title: "Verification Party Created",
+  message: "Your verification party has been created successfully."
+};
+
+// Used in: VerificationPartyJoinView.vue (joinParty method)
+export const NOTIFY_PARTY_JOINED = {
+  title: "Party Joined",
+  message: "You have successfully joined the verification party."
+};
+
+// Used in: VerificationPartyActiveView.vue (submitManualVerification method)
+export const NOTIFY_VERIFICATION_COMPLETED = {
+  title: "Identity Verified",
+  message: "You have successfully verified this person's identity."
+};
+
+// Used in: VerificationPartyService.ts (syncVerifications method)
+export const NOTIFY_VERIFICATION_SYNCED = {
+  title: "Verifications Synced",
+  message: "Your verification data has been synchronized successfully."
+};
+
+// Used in: VerificationPartyActiveView.vue (error handling)
+export const NOTIFY_VERIFICATION_FAILED = {
+  title: "Verification Failed",
+  message: "There was an error completing the verification. Please try again."
+};
+```
+
+### Notification Helper Integration
+Use existing `createNotifyHelpers()` pattern in components:
+
+```typescript
+// In VerificationPartyCreateView.vue
+const { success, error } = createNotifyHelpers(this.$notify);
+
+// Usage
+success("Party created successfully!");
+error("Failed to create party. Please try again.");
+```
+
+---
+
+## Component Implementation Pattern
+
+### VerificationPartyCreateView.vue Structure
+```typescript
+@Component({
+  name: "VerificationPartyCreateView",
+  components: {
+    QuickNav,
+    TopMessage,
+    EntityIcon,
+  },
+  mixins: [PlatformServiceMixin],
+})
+export default class VerificationPartyCreateView extends Vue {
+  // Use PlatformServiceMixin methods
+  async createParty(): Promise<void> {
+    const partyData: Partial<VerificationParty> = {
+      partyId: `party_${Date.now()}_${Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 9)}`,
+      organizerDid: (await this.$getActiveIdentity()).activeDid,
+      name: this.partyForm.name,
+      description: this.partyForm.description,
+      location: this.partyForm.location,
+      scheduledDate: this.partyForm.scheduledDate,
+      maxParticipants: this.partyForm.maxParticipants,
+      status: 'planned',
+      dateCreated: new Date().toISOString(),
+    };
+    
+    const success = await this.$insertVerificationParty(partyData);
+    if (success) {
+      this.$notify(NOTIFY_PARTY_CREATED);
+      this.$router.push(`/verification-party/${partyData.partyId}`);
+    } else {
+      this.$notify(NOTIFY_VERIFICATION_FAILED);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
