+## [1.4.0]
+
+### Added
+- An **Account** block (`[us_account]`) showing who is signed in — their name and their email — and a **Sign out** link. Signing out returns to the login page chosen in the block, or to the page the visitor was already on when none is set, so putting it in a site header does not also move people somewhere. To a signed-out visitor it shows a **Sign in** link when a login page is chosen, and nothing at all when one is not: a panel about who is signed in has nothing to tell a stranger, and a notice they cannot act on is just clutter in a header.
+
+### Security
+- Signup now checks the password properly. The form scores it as you type with the same zxcvbn meter wp-admin uses and will not submit a weak one, and the server refuses — regardless of what the browser allowed — anything shorter than 8 characters, one of the well-known leaked passwords, one built from barely any distinct characters, or one containing your own name or email address. Composition rules ("must contain a symbol") are deliberately not imposed: they mostly produce predictable substitutions. Email addresses are validated on the server on every signup path, with a clear message when one is already registered.
+
+### Changed
+- Signup now asks **"Who are you registering?"** as a three-way choice — **just myself**, **on behalf of one or more students**, or **both** — in place of the single parent/guardian tick. The tick could only ever say "I have children to add"; it could not say whether the account holder was a student themselves, so every account was offered its own name in the **Who is this for?** picker whether or not anyone meant to book them a lesson. Choosing *on behalf of* now leaves the account holder out of that picker. Existing accounts are unaffected and stay bookable, since the flag records only the new "not a student" case.
+- The studio's **account-signup questions are now asked of anyone registering as a student**, including someone registering themselves alongside their children. Choosing **both** previously collected the questions per child only, so the account holder's own instrument, level and the rest were never asked for or stored, even though they could book lessons. Their answers are recorded against their own account, and a blank required answer now names them rather than blaming "each student".
+- A student's **name and birth year are now required**, marked in the form the same way a required registration question is and enforced on the server whichever way they were submitted. On signup the requirement applies only once the parent/guardian box is ticked, so registering for yourself is unaffected. A student block you have started filling in is now reported back to you rather than silently dropped when the name is missing — only a completely untouched spare block is still ignored.
+- Signup and the profile page now ask for a **birth year** rather than a full date of birth — a four-digit year between 1900 and the current year, with anything else discarded rather than stored. Students added before this change keep showing a birth year, derived from the date already on file; that old full date is then dropped the first time the record is saved, so the studio ends up holding only what it now asks for. No bulk purge runs, so a site wanting the remaining old dates gone should clear the `us_date_of_birth` user meta directly.
+- The interface now says **student** where it said "child" and **profile** where it said "family". The `[us_family]` page is headed **Your profile**, its form is **Add a student**, signup asks for a **Student's name**, and the wp-admin students list and student screen both label the relationship **Profile**. Two strings were reworded rather than swapped: the students list reads **Managed by _name_** (a bare "Student of _name_" would read as a teacher's pupil), and a managed account is described as a **managed student account** so it is not confused with the account holder. Internal names — database columns, request parameters, form field names, the `us_family` shortcode and the `us-scheduler/family` block — are unchanged, since they are contracts with existing installs and saved post content.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Booking a lesson no longer dead-ends on the confirmation.** The confirmation used to replace the calendar entirely, leaving a student who wanted a second lesson with nothing to click and no way back short of reloading the page. It is now a dismissible notice sitting above a freshly loaded calendar — the slot just taken already gone from it, the upcoming-lessons panel already updated — so "it worked" and "book another" are the same screen. Enrolling in a group class did the same thing and is fixed the same way.
+- Upcoming lesson rows no longer render on top of each other. The row's text sits in inline elements that a theme can pull out of normal flow, which dropped the date and time onto the lesson title and the status pill onto the Cancel button; those elements are now pinned into flow alongside the rest of the panel's theme-proofing. The rows held behind **Show all** also stayed visible under the `div { display: block }` reset that many themes still carry, since `[hidden]` is only a browser default — they are now hidden for real.
+
+## [1.3.0]
+
+### Added
+- **Parent and guardian accounts.** A parent registers once and manages lessons for one or more children, who need no login of their own. The signup form gains an **"I'm registering as a parent or guardian"** tick that reveals a block per child — name, date of birth, and the studio's account-signup questions asked **per child**, since those describe the student rather than the account holder. Signup policies are recorded once per child with the guardian named as the person who agreed, which is the record that actually means something: "this guardian accepted version N on behalf of this child, at this time, from this address." A guardian can also be a student themselves and book their own lessons from the same account.
+- A **"Who is this for?"** picker on the booking and group-class forms, listing **children first** and the account holder last — so the default selection is never the parent, and a lesson meant for a child is not quietly booked and billed in the parent's name. An account with only itself on the list sees no picker and behaves exactly as before. A guardian's upcoming-lessons panel covers the whole household, each row naming whose lesson it is, and they can cancel or withdraw for any of their children.
+- A **Family** page for guardians (`[us_family]`, or the **Family** block) to add, edit and remove children after signup. Removing a child is refused once they have lessons or enrolments on record — that history belongs to them, and the studio unpicks it by hand rather than the page orphaning it.
+- **One family, one bill.** Payments record the child the lesson was for *and* the guardian who owes it, so per-child reporting is unchanged while notices, receipts and the payment step all go to the parent. Account credit is held by the payer, so a credit from one child's cancelled lesson can settle a sibling's next charge, and the billing-method override (comp / card / e-transfer) is one setting on the guardian rather than one per child. The daily billing scan sends a guardian **one** notice covering every child, with each line naming whose lesson it is.
+- **Students** in wp-admin gains a **Family** column linking a child to their guardian and a guardian to their children, and the student screen gains a **Family** panel. A child's row shows the guardian's email — a child's own address is a placeholder that can never receive mail — and their credit balance is labelled with whose account actually holds it.
+
+### Changed
+- Child accounts **cannot be signed in to**. They hold the student role so every existing lookup keeps working, but authentication is refused outright and the booking capability is withheld, so the only route to a lesson in a child's name is their guardian's authorised booking.

 ## Architecture
 
-### Plugin Bootstrap
+### Code organisation
-`unsupervised-schedular.php` defines constants (`USC_VERSION`, `USC_PLUGIN_DIR`, `USC_PLUGIN_URL`), registers activation/deactivation hooks, then calls `Plugin::boot()` on `plugins_loaded`. No logic lives in the root file.
+**Code is organised package-by-domain.** Each domain package under `src/<Domain>/` contains everything related to that domain: value objects, repositories, controllers, REST endpoints, and shortcode pages. Cross-cutting wiring classes (Plugin, AdminMenu, RestRegistrar, ShortcodeRegistrar, Schema) live directly under `src/`.
-
-### Directory Structure
-```
-src/                  — All plugin PHP (PSR-4 namespace: Unsupervised\Schedular\)
-  Availability/       — Availability slots: value object, repository, controller, REST endpoint
-  Booking/            — Lessons/bookings: value object, repository, controller, REST endpoint, shortcode page
-  Auth/               — Roles, capabilities, login page
-  Plugin.php          — Wires all components together on plugins_loaded
-  Installer.php       — Creates DB tables and roles on activation
-  Schema.php          — CREATE TABLE SQL for dbDelta

-  RestRegistrar.php   — Registers all REST routes under us-scheduler/v1
-  ShortcodeRegistrar.php — Registers [us_booking] and [us_student_login] shortcodes

-
-**Code is organised package-by-domain** (Availability, Booking, Auth). Each domain package contains everything related to that domain: value objects, repositories, controllers, REST endpoints, and shortcode pages. Cross-cutting wiring classes (Plugin, AdminMenu, RestRegistrar, ShortcodeRegistrar, Schema) live directly under `src/`.
 
 ### Data Storage
-Two custom database tables (created via `dbDelta` on activation):
+Custom database tables are created via `dbDelta` on activation; `Schema.php` holds the SQL.
-- `{prefix}us_availability` — instructor availability windows
-- `{prefix}us_lessons` — booked lessons
 
 All database access goes through repository classes within their domain package. No direct `$wpdb` calls outside repositories.
 
-### Key Classes
-
-| Class | Responsibility |
-|---|---|
-| `Plugin` | Wires all components together on `plugins_loaded` |
-| `Installer` | Creates DB tables and roles on activation |
-| `Schema` | CREATE TABLE SQL strings for dbDelta |
-| `AdminMenu` | Registers wp-admin menu pages |
-| `RestRegistrar` | Registers all REST routes under `us-scheduler/v1` |
-| `ShortcodeRegistrar` | Registers `[us_booking]` and `[us_student_login]` shortcodes |
-| `BlockRegistrar` | Registers Gutenberg dynamic-block wrappers for the shortcodes |
-| `BlockPreview` | Static editor-preview markup for the blocks |
-| `Val` | Runtime coercion of untyped WP boundary values (wpdb rows, REST params, superglobals) |
-| `Auth\RoleManager` | Registers `us_instructor` and `us_student` roles with custom caps |
-| `Auth\LoginPage` | Renders front-end student login form |
-| `Availability\AvailabilitySlot` | Immutable value object for a slot row |
-| `Availability\AvailabilityRepository` | CRUD for availability slots |
-| `Availability\AvailabilityController` | Instructor availability management page |
-| `Availability\AvailabilityEndpoint` | REST handlers for availability CRUD |
-| `Booking\Lesson` | Immutable value object for a lesson row |
-| `Booking\BookingRepository` | CRUD for lesson bookings |
-| `Booking\BookingEndpoint` | REST handlers for booking and status updates |
-| `Booking\BookingPage` | Renders student booking UI shell (JS takes over) |
-| `Booking\LessonController` | Admin and instructor lesson list pages |
-
 ### REST API Namespace
 All endpoints live under `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/`. Permissions are enforced via `permission_callback` using capability checks (`manage_availability`, `book_lesson`), never role name checks.
 
 ### Testing Approach
-Tests use [Brain\Monkey](https://brain-wp.github.io/BrainMonkey/) to stub WordPress functions without a full WP installation, and Mockery to mock `$wpdb` and other dependencies.
+Tests stub WordPress with Brain\Monkey rather than booting a real WP install. The setup and the Brain\Monkey/Mockery API gotchas are in `tests/CLAUDE.md`.
-
-All test classes extend `tests/Unit/TestCase.php`, which handles `Monkey\setUp()` / `Monkey\tearDown()` and stubs all WP translation/escape functions automatically.
-
-**Brain\Monkey API notes:**
-- `Functions\when('fn')->alias(fn() => ...)` — stub with a closure (NOT `returnUsing()`)
-- `Functions\when('fn')->justReturn($val)` — stub returning a fixed value
-- `Functions\expect('fn')->once()->with(...)` — assert call count and arguments
-- Use `Functions\when()` (not `Functions\expect()`) when you need argument-routing (e.g. `get_role` returning different values per argument) to avoid chaining ambiguity
-- Mockery matchers (e.g. `\Mockery::type()`) inside plain PHP arrays do not work with `with()` — use `\Mockery::on(fn($arr) => ...)` or `\Mockery::any()` instead
-- When mocking `$wpdb`, set `$mock->prefix = 'wp_'` explicitly — it is a public property, not a method
 
 ### Adding a Feature
 0. **If the feature touches `Schema.php`, bump both the `Version:` header and `USC_VERSION` in `unsupervised-schedular.php`.** `Plugin::boot()` only re-runs `Installer`/`dbDelta` when the stored `us_schedular_version` differs, so a schema change without a version bump never reaches existing sites and inserts into new columns fail silently.

 3. Add template(s) under `templates/` if needed.
 4. Write unit tests under `tests/Unit/<Domain>/` mirroring the `src/<Domain>/` structure.
 5. Run `composer test` — all tests must pass before the feature is complete.

-### CI
-Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`) runs on every push and pull request:
-- **lint** — PHPCS WordPress coding standards
-- **static-analysis** — PHPStan level 10
-- **test** — PHPUnit on PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3
-- **no-debug** — rejects commits with `var_dump`, `error_log`, etc. in `src/`

+## Email and password validation
+
+Both are checked on the server on every signup path, and the browser is given a
+matching but *stricter* job so a bad password is caught before submitting.
+
+**Email** — `type="email"` and `required` in the markup, `is_email()` on the
+server, then `email_exists()` for "an account already exists for this email". A
+personal invite fixes the address and the server always uses the invite's own
+value, so a tampered field is ignored rather than validated.
+
+**Password** — `Auth\PasswordPolicy` is the authority. It deliberately does
+*not* try to reproduce a strength score in PHP; it rejects the categorically
+bad, which is what a server can check without shipping a dictionary:
+
+- shorter than `PasswordPolicy::MIN_LENGTH` (8 — NIST SP 800-63B's floor;
+  composition rules like "must contain a symbol" are deliberately **not** used,
+  as they push people towards predictable substitutions),
+- one of the well-known leaked passwords,
+- built from fewer than four distinct characters (`aaaaaaaa`, `abababab`),
+- containing the user's own display name, email, or the part before the `@`.
+
+The nuance happens in the browser. `register.js` scores the password with
+zxcvbn through WordPress's own `password-strength-meter` script and refuses to
+submit below `PasswordPolicy::MIN_SCORE` (2 of 4 — "medium"; enough to stop a
+guessable password without demanding a passphrase to book a piano lesson). The
+thresholds reach JavaScript via `wp_localize_script()` from the same constants
+the server enforces, so the two cannot drift apart.
+
+The verdict is applied with `setCustomValidity()` on the password field rather
+than by disabling a button: the form has up to three submits plus a "Next" that
+already gates on `checkValidity()`, and an invalid field stops all of them
+without any needing to know why. zxcvbn's dictionary loads asynchronously, so
+the gate stays open until it arrives — the server is the check that always runs.

+# Feature: Parent/Guardian Accounts
+
+## Overview
+A parent or guardian registers **once** and manages lessons for **one or more
+children**, without each child needing their own login. The guardian signs in,
+picks which child a booking is for, and pays for all of them from one account.
+
+A guardian may also be a student in their own right — they appear in their own
+"who is this for?" selector alongside their children, so a parent taking lessons
+next to their kids needs only the one account.
+
+## Vocabulary: "child" in the code, "student" in the UI
+
+The interface says **student** and **profile**; the code says **child** and
+**family**. This is deliberate, not drift. Every identifier below — the
+`us_guardian_links` columns, `GuardianService::createChild()`, the `children[]`
+request parameters, the `child_name` form fields, the `us-scheduler/family`
+block name and the `[us_family]` shortcode — is a stable contract with the
+database, saved post content and existing installs, so renaming them would break
+sites for no user-visible gain. Only the strings a person reads were changed.
+
+When adding to this feature, keep the split: internal names follow the
+data model, translatable strings follow the interface.
+
+## Core Decision: children are accountless WordPress users
+
+Every `student_id` column in `src/Schema.php` (`us_lessons`, `us_payments`,
+`us_credits`, `us_group_enrollments`, `us_question_answers`,
+`us_policy_acceptances`, `us_group_access`) is a `wp_users` id, and booking,
+billing, credits, policies and registration answers all resolve it directly.
+
+Rather than change what `student_id` means, **a child is a real `wp_users` row**
+with the `us_student` role, created without a usable login:
+
+- no password (`wp_generate_password()` is used and discarded — nothing is ever
+  emailed, so it cannot be guessed into a session),
+- no real email address; a child gets a placeholder login on the RFC 2606
+  reserved `.invalid` TLD (`us-child-<random>@child.invalid`, see
+  `GuardianService::childEmail()`) — a well-formed address that can never
+  resolve, so nothing about a child's account can be emailed somewhere real,
+- the `us_child` user meta flag set to `1`, which
+  `Guardian\ChildLoginGate` uses to block authentication outright.
+
+Consequences:
+
+- `us_lessons`, `us_group_enrollments`, `us_question_answers` and
+  `us_group_access` are **unchanged** — a child books like any other student.
+- A child can be promoted to their own login later by setting a password and a
+  real email and clearing `us_child`; no data migrates.
+- A `us_guardians` link table maps guardian → child.
+
+The alternative — a standalone `us_students` table decoupled from `wp_users` —
+was rejected for v1: it changes the meaning of `student_id` on seven tables and
+requires migrating every existing row.
+
+## Data Model — `{prefix}us_guardians`
+
+| Column         | Type            | Notes                                                     |
+|----------------|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
+| `id`           | BIGINT UNSIGNED | Primary key                                               |
+| `guardian_id`  | BIGINT UNSIGNED | WordPress user ID of the parent/guardian                  |
+| `student_id`   | BIGINT UNSIGNED | WordPress user ID of the child                            |
+| `relationship` | VARCHAR(50)     | Free text shown in admin (e.g. "Parent", "Grandparent"); may be empty |
+| `created_at`   | DATETIME        | Insertion time                                            |
+
+`UNIQUE KEY guardian_student (guardian_id, student_id)` — the same pair can
+never be linked twice.
+
+The table is a link table, not a child record: the child's **name** is their
+`display_name` on `wp_users`, and their birth year is the `us_birth_year`
+user meta. Keeping them on the user row means the admin student screens,
+`get_users()` ordering, and every existing `student_id` lookup keep working with
+no special-casing.
+
+### The legacy `us_date_of_birth` meta
+
+This feature originally collected a full date of birth in `us_date_of_birth`.
+Nothing writes that key any more. It is handled entirely inside
+`GuardianService`:
+
+- **Read** — `birthYear()` falls back to the year of the old date when
+  `us_birth_year` is absent, so a child added before the change still shows one
+  without a migration step.
+- **Write** — `setBirthYear()` deletes `us_date_of_birth` on *every* save,
+  including a save that clears the year. Without that the fallback would
+  resurrect the old date on the next read and the year could never be cleared.
+
+The upshot is a lazy migration: a child's full date survives until their record
+is next edited, then goes for good. There is no bulk purge — a site that wants
+the remaining old dates gone should delete the `us_date_of_birth` meta directly.
+
+v1 is deliberately **one guardian per child**: `GuardianRepository::insert()`
+refuses to link a child that already has a guardian. The unique key and the
+guardian-side lookups already support many-to-many, so adding a second guardian
+(separated parents) later is an insert, not a migration.
+
+## Schema changes to existing tables
+
+| Table | Change | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| `us_payments` | `payer_id BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0` + `KEY payer_id` | Who owes the money, when that is not the student |
+| `us_credits` | `payer_id BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0` + `KEY payer_id` | Which account holds the balance |
+| `us_policy_acceptances` | `accepted_by BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0` | Who actually clicked, when that is not the student |
+
+All three default to `0`, read back as "same as `student_id`" (see
+`Payment::payerOrStudent()`, `Credit::payerOrStudent()`,
+`PolicyAcceptance::acceptorOrStudent()`), so **an existing row keeps its current
+meaning whatever happens** — a pre-guardian payment is still owed by, and was
+still accepted by, the student it names.
+
+The installer additionally backfills them (`PaymentRepository::backfillPayerIds()`,
+`CreditRepository::backfillPayerIds()`, `AcceptanceRepository::backfillAcceptedBy()`,
+run from `Installer::migrateData()`), because the *balance* lookups key on
+`payer_id` directly and an indexed `WHERE payer_id = 5` would not see a legacy row
+still holding `0`. The backfill is idempotent — it only touches rows still at `0` —
+and the `payerOrStudent()` fallbacks remain as the belt to its braces.
+
+## Billing: the guardian is the payer, the child is the subject
+
+- `us_payments.student_id` keeps naming **the child the lesson was for**, so
+  per-child payment reporting is unchanged.
+- `us_payments.payer_id` names **the guardian who owes it**. Payment notices,
+  receipts and the Stripe intent all resolve the payer.
+- `us_credits.payer_id` is where a **family balance** lives. A credit from one
+  child's cancelled lesson is held by the guardian and can settle a sibling's
+  charge; `CreditRepository::availableBalance()` and `consume()` operate on the
+  payer.
+- The **billing-method override** (`comp` / `card` / `etransfer`, user meta read
+  by `BillingMethodResolver`) resolves against the payer, so comping a family is
+  one setting on the guardian rather than one per child.
+
+`PaymentService::createForRegistration()` takes the payer id alongside the
+student id; `BookingEndpoint` and `ScheduledBillingRunner` both pass
+`GuardianService::payerFor( $studentId )` — the child's guardian when they have
+one, otherwise the student themselves.
+
+Family discounts are **out of scope** for v1 but are not designed out: with the
+payer on both the payment and the credit ledger, a discount rule has a family to
+apply to.
+
+## Registration
+
+A **"Who are you registering?"** choice on the existing `[us_student_register]`
+form (all three signup paths — personal invite, group link, self-approval), as
+three radios:
+
+| Choice | `us_registering_for` | Student blocks | Account holder is a student | Answers the studio's questions |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Just myself | `self` | no | yes | for themselves |
+| On behalf of one or more students | `students` | yes | **no** | per student only |
+| Both — myself and one or more students | `both` | yes | yes | **per student *and* for themselves** |
+
+The last column follows from the third, and is the whole of it: the
+account-scope questions describe a *student* — instrument, level, school — so
+they are asked of everyone being registered as one. Under `both` that is each
+student **and** the account holder, whose answers are stored against their own
+user id, not shared with anyone. Under `students` the account holder is not a
+student, so anything posted for them is ignored outright.
+
+Required answers are checked in two passes rather than one, so the error can say
+whose are missing: `both` would otherwise have to blame "each student" for the
+account holder's own blank field.
+
+Radios rather than checkboxes because the three answers are mutually exclusive:
+"both" only means anything as a third choice alongside the other two. Either
+student-bearing choice requires at least one student name.
+
+Anything unrecognised — a form posted without the field, an old cached page, a
+crafted request — is read as `self`, the choice that collects the least and
+grants the least. A missing radio must never be taken as "register these
+children".
+
+### The account holder as a student
+
+This replaced a single "I'm registering as a parent or guardian" checkbox, which
+could only say *whether there were children to add*. It could not say whether the
+**account holder** was a student, so `bookableStudents()` always offered them
+their own name and every guardian could book themselves a lesson nobody intended
+to sell.
+
+`students` now records `us_guardian_only = 1` and `bookableStudents()` leaves the
+account holder out. The flag is stored as the **negative** deliberately: every
+account predating the choice is a bookable student, and absence has to keep
+meaning exactly that, or the picker would silently stop offering people
+themselves on upgrade. `GuardianService::setGuardianOnly()` clears the key rather
+than writing `0`, so "not set" stays the one spelling of "yes, a student".
+
+One guard: a guardian-only account with **nobody linked to it** is still offered
+itself, because an empty picker is no way to book at all. They can put the
+account right from the profile page.
+
+Per child the form collects:
+- **Name** (required)
+- **Birth year** (required, `us_birth_year` meta) — a four-digit year between
+  1900 and the current year. `GuardianService::normaliseBirthYear()` is the one
+  definition of what counts, shared by the signup form's up-front validation and
+  by `createChild()`/`updateChild()` themselves, so a bad year is refused rather
+  than quietly discarded and a typo cannot leave a nonsense age on the record.
+- **Every account-scope registration question** (`Registration\Question`,
+  `SCOPE_ACCOUNT`) — asked once per child, not once per guardian, because in
+  practice they describe the student (instrument, level, school). The guardian
+  answers them on the child's behalf; the answer row's `student_id` is the child.
+
+Name and birth year are marked required in the labels the same way a required
+question is, but the signup form **cannot** lean on the browser to enforce them:
+the child blocks are hidden until the parent/guardian box is ticked, and a
+`required` field inside a hidden container makes the form unsubmittable with no
+control the user can reach to fix. `register.js` therefore puts `required` on
+and takes it off along with the block itself (`[data-us-child-required]`), and
+the server checks regardless — which is what makes the rule hold with
+JavaScript off. The profile screen has no such problem: its forms are always
+visible, so the attribute is static there.
+
+Order of operations in `RegistrationPage::handleSubmit()`:
+
+1. Validate the guardian's own fields (email, password, policies).
+2. Validate **every** child block — a missing name, a missing or unusable birth
+   year, or a missing required per-child answer fails the whole submission
+   **before** any user is created, so a half-registered family is never left
+   behind. An **entirely empty** block is dropped instead, because the form
+   always renders one spare for "add another"; a block with anything at all
+   typed into it is kept and reported on, rather than silently discarding what
+   the guardian entered.
+3. Create the guardian user.
+4. For each child: create the accountless user, link it, record its answers, and
+   record the signup policy acceptances **against the child** with
+   `accepted_by = <guardian>`.
+5. Roll back — every child user created so far is deleted and the guardian user
+   with them — if any child creation fails, so a partial family never persists.
+
+A guardian who does not tick the box registers exactly as before; nothing about
+the single-student flow changes.
+
+### Policy acceptance
+
+`us_policy_acceptances` records **one row per child** for each signup-scoped
+policy, with:
+
+- `student_id` = the child (who the policy binds),
+- `accepted_by` = the guardian (who actually agreed),
+- `registration_type = 'account'`, `registration_id` = the child's user ID.
+
+The guardian also gets their own acceptance row (`student_id = accepted_by =
+guardian`) whether or not they book for themselves — they agreed to the terms as
+an account holder. This is the legally meaningful record: "guardian X accepted
+policy version N on behalf of child Y at time T from IP Z".
+
+Booking-scope policies are accepted at booking time by whoever is signed in;
+`BookingEndpoint` passes the same `accepted_by` when a guardian books for a
+child.
+
+## Managing children
+
+`[us_family]` (block: **Profile**) renders the guardian's manage-children screen:
+list the children, add one, edit a name/birth year, remove one.
+
+- **Add** creates another accountless child user and links it. Account-scope
+  questions are asked here too, so a child added later carries the same
+  information as one added at signup.
+- **Edit** updates `display_name` and `us_birth_year`.
+- **Remove** unlinks the child and **deletes the child user**, but only when the
+  child has no lessons and no enrolments — a child with history is refused, so
+  removing one can never orphan a lesson, payment or credit
+  (`GuardianService::removeChild()`). The guardian is told to contact the studio
+  instead.
+
+Submissions are processed on `template_redirect` (like registration) and
+post/redirect/get back to the page, so a refresh cannot resubmit.
+
+## Booking
+
+`GET /bookings` returns the lessons of the signed-in user **and of every child
+they are guardian for**, each row carrying `student_id` and `student_name` so
+the list can be grouped by child.
+
+`POST /bookings` takes an optional **`student_id`**:
+
+- absent or `0` → the current user books for themselves (unchanged),
+- a child's id → the endpoint verifies with `GuardianService::canActFor()` that
+  the current user is that child's guardian, and returns `403 forbidden` when
+  they are not. **This is the authorisation boundary of the feature**: without
+  it any student could book, and bill, against any user id they cared to send.
+
+The booking form gains a "Who is this for?" `<select>`, rendered only when the
+account has more than one person on it, so a single-student account's form is
+unchanged.
+
+**Children are listed first and the account holder last**
+(`GuardianService::bookableStudents()`). The order is the whole point: a
+guardian's normal case is booking for a child, so the default selection — the
+one a parent gets by not touching the picker at all — is a child, never
+themselves. Booking for the wrong child is a correctable inconvenience; silently
+billing a parent's account for a lesson meant for their kid is the error worth
+designing out. The guardian is still offered, last, so a parent taking lessons
+alongside their children can book for themselves.
+
+The list is rendered server-side into `data-students` on the page wrapper and
+read by `assets/js/guardian.js`, which both the booking and group-class scripts
+share.
+
+`POST /bookings/<id>/cancel` accepts a cancellation from the lesson's student
+**or** their guardian, subject to the same cancellation cutoff.
+
+## Group classes
+
+`POST /enrollments` carries the same optional `student_id` and the same
+`canActFor()` check, `GET /enrollments` covers the household, and
+`POST /enrollments/<id>/withdraw` accepts the guardian — group enrolment is the
+other place a family books and pays, so it gets the identical treatment rather
+than being left as a single-student-only path.
+
+## Admin
+
+- **Students list** gains a **Profile** column: a child links to its
+  guardian's detail screen, a guardian lists its children as links. Children are
+  listed alongside every other student rather than nested, so nothing about
+  finding a student changes.
+- **Student detail** gains a **Profile** panel — the guardian (for a child) or
+  the children (for a guardian), each a link to the other's screen — and the
+  credit balance shown is the **payer's** balance, labelled with whose it is, so
+  an admin looking at a child sees the family balance that will actually settle
+  their charges rather than an empty per-child one.
+- Registration answers and policy acceptances on a child's screen show
+  "accepted by <guardian>" where the acceptor differs from the student.
+
+Creating or attaching a child from wp-admin is **out of scope** for v1; a studio
+admin adds children through the guardian's own family screen or asks the
+guardian to.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+No new capability. A child user holds the `us_student` role (so every existing
+`student_id` capability check keeps working) but can never sign in
+(`Guardian\ChildLoginGate` blocks `wp_authenticate_user` and forces
+`user_has_cap` to withhold `book_lesson` from a child), so the role grants them
+nothing in practice. Guardians act for children through
+`GuardianService::canActFor()`, checked at every REST and form boundary, rather
+than through a capability.
+
+## Instructor view
+
+Lesson lists show the student's name. Where that student is a child, the
+instructor also sees the guardian's name and email — the contact they actually
+need — via `GuardianService::contactFor()`.
+
+## Implementation

+- Frontend: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Guardian\FamilyPage` (`[us_family]`)
+- Shared question field: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Registration\QuestionField`
+  (one question rendered under a caller-supplied input name, so the same
+  question can appear once per child without colliding)
+- Front-end script: `assets/js/guardian.js` (the shared picker),
+  `assets/js/register.js` (guardian toggle + "add another child")
+- Extended: `Auth\RegistrationPage` (guardian checkbox, child blocks, per-child
+  answers/acceptances, rollback), `Booking\BookingEndpoint` and
+  `GroupClass\EnrollmentEndpoint` (`student_id` param + guardian
+  authorisation, household listings), `Booking\BookingPage`,
+  `GroupClass\GroupClassPage`, `Payment\PaymentService`,
+  `Payment\PaymentRepository`, `Payment\CreditRepository`,
+  `Payment\ScheduledBillingRunner` (one notice per payer),

+# Writing tests
+
+Tests use [Brain\Monkey](https://brain-wp.github.io/BrainMonkey/) to stub WordPress functions without a full WP installation, and Mockery to mock `$wpdb` and other dependencies.
+
+All test classes extend `tests/Unit/TestCase.php`, which handles `Monkey\setUp()` / `Monkey\tearDown()` and stubs all WP translation/escape functions automatically.
+
+**Brain\Monkey API notes:**
+
+- `Functions\when('fn')->alias(fn() => ...)` — stub with a closure (NOT `returnUsing()`)
+- `Functions\when('fn')->justReturn($val)` — stub returning a fixed value
+- `Functions\expect('fn')->once()->with(...)` — assert call count and arguments
+- Use `Functions\when()` (not `Functions\expect()`) when you need argument-routing (e.g. `get_role` returning different values per argument) to avoid chaining ambiguity
+- Mockery matchers (e.g. `\Mockery::type()`) inside plain PHP arrays do not work with `with()` — use `\Mockery::on(fn($arr) => ...)` or `\Mockery::any()` instead
+- When mocking `$wpdb`, set `$mock->prefix = 'wp_'` explicitly — it is a public property, not a method
