+## Session: User-Member Linking UI Enhancement (2025-01-13)
+
+### Feature Summary
+Implemented user-member linking functionality in User Edit/Create views with fuzzy search autocomplete, email conflict handling, and accessibility support.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Autocomplete dropdown with PostgreSQL Trigram fuzzy search
+- Keyboard navigation (Arrow keys, Enter, Escape)
+- Link/unlink members to user accounts
+- Email synchronization between linked entities
+- WCAG 2.1 AA compliant (ARIA labels, keyboard accessibility)
+- Bilingual UI (English/German)
+
+### Technical Decisions
+
+**1. Search Priority Logic**
+Search query takes precedence over email filtering to provide better UX:
+- User types → fuzzy search across all unlinked members
+- Email matching only used for post-filtering when no search query present
+
+**2. JavaScript Hook for Input Value**
+Used minimal JavaScript (~6 lines) for reliable input field updates:
+```javascript
+// assets/js/app.js
+window.addEventListener("phx:set-input-value", (e) => {
+  document.getElementById(e.detail.id).value = e.detail.value
+})
+```
+**Rationale:** LiveView DOM patching has race conditions with rapid state changes in autocomplete components. Direct DOM manipulation via `push_event` is the idiomatic LiveView solution for this edge case.
+
+**3. Keyboard Navigation: Hybrid Approach**
+Implemented keyboard accessibility with **mostly Server-Side + minimal Client-Side**:
+
+```elixir
+# Server-Side: Navigation and Selection (~45 lines)
+def handle_event("member_dropdown_keydown", %{"key" => "ArrowDown"}, socket) do
+  # Focus management on server
+  new_index = min(current + 1, max_index)
+  {:noreply, assign(socket, focused_member_index: new_index)}
+end
+```
+
+```javascript
+// Client-Side: Only preventDefault for Enter in forms (~13 lines)
+Hooks.ComboBox = {
+  mounted() {
+    this.el.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => {
+      const isDropdownOpen = this.el.getAttribute("aria-expanded") === "true"
+      if (e.key === "Enter" && isDropdownOpen) {
+        e.preventDefault()  // Prevent form submission
+      }
+    })
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:** 
+- Server-Side handles all navigation logic → simpler, testable, follows LiveView best practices
+- Client-Side only prevents browser default behavior (form submit on Enter)
+- Latency (~20-50ms) is imperceptible for keyboard events without DB queries
+- Follows CODE_GUIDELINES "Minimal JavaScript Philosophy"
+
+**Alternative Considered:** Full Client-Side with JavaScript Hook (~80 lines)
+- ❌ More complex code
+- ❌ State synchronization between client/server
+- ✅ Zero latency (but not noticeable in practice)
+- **Decision:** Server-Side approach is simpler and sufficient
+
+**4. Fuzzy Search Implementation**
+Combined PostgreSQL Full-Text Search + Trigram for optimal results:
+```sql
+-- FTS for exact word matching
+search_vector @@ websearch_to_tsquery('simple', 'greta')
+-- Trigram for typo tolerance
+word_similarity('gre', first_name) > 0.2
+-- Substring for email/IDs
+email ILIKE '%greta%'
+```
+
+### Key Learnings
+
+#### 1. Ash `manage_relationship` Internals
+**Critical Discovery:** During validation, relationship data lives in `changeset.relationships`, NOT `changeset.attributes`:
+
+```elixir
+# During validation (manage_relationship processing):
+changeset.relationships.member = [{[%{id: "uuid"}], opts}]
+changeset.attributes.member_id = nil  # Still nil!
+
+# After action completes:
+changeset.attributes.member_id = "uuid"  # Now set
+```
+
+**Solution:** Extract member_id from both sources:
+```elixir
+defp get_member_id_from_changeset(changeset) do
+  case Map.get(changeset.relationships, :member) do
+    [{[%{id: id}], _opts}] -> id           # New link
+    _ -> Ash.Changeset.get_attribute(changeset, :member_id)  # Existing
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**Impact:** Fixed email validation false positives when linking user+member with identical emails.
+
+#### 2. LiveView + JavaScript Integration Patterns
+
+**When to use JavaScript:**
+- ✅ Direct DOM manipulation (autocomplete, input values)
+- ✅ Browser APIs (clipboard, geolocation)
+- ✅ Third-party libraries
+- ✅ Preventing browser default behaviors (form submit, scroll)
+
+**When NOT to use JavaScript:**
+- ❌ Form submissions
+- ❌ Simple show/hide logic
+- ❌ Server-side data fetching
+- ❌ Keyboard navigation logic (can be done server-side efficiently)
+
+**Pattern:**
+```elixir
+socket |> push_event("event-name", %{key: value})
+```
+```javascript
+window.addEventListener("phx:event-name", (e) => { /* handle */ })
+```
+
+**Keyboard Events Pattern:**
+For keyboard navigation in forms, use hybrid approach:
+- Server handles navigation logic via `phx-window-keydown`
+- Minimal hook only for `preventDefault()` to avoid form submit conflicts
+- Result: ~13 lines JS vs ~80 lines for full client-side solution
+
+#### 3. PostgreSQL Trigram Search
+Requires `pg_trgm` extension with GIN indexes:
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX members_first_name_trgm_idx 
+  ON members USING GIN(first_name gin_trgm_ops);
+```
+Supports:
+- Typo tolerance: "Gret" finds "Greta"
+- Partial matching: "Mit" finds "Mitglied"  
+- Substring: "exam" finds "example.com"
+
+#### 4. Server-Side Keyboard Navigation Performance
+**Challenge:** Concern that server-side keyboard events would feel laggy.
+
+**Reality Check:**
+- LiveView roundtrip: ~20-50ms on decent connection
+- Human perception threshold: ~100ms
+- Result: **Feels instant** in practice
+
+**Why it works:**
+```elixir
+# Event handler only updates index (no DB queries)
+def handle_event("member_dropdown_keydown", %{"key" => "ArrowDown"}, socket) do
+  new_index = min(socket.assigns.focused_member_index + 1, max_index)
+  {:noreply, assign(socket, focused_member_index: new_index)}
+end
+```
+- No database queries
+- No complex computations
+- Just state updates → extremely fast
+
+**When to use Client-Side instead:**
+- Complex animations (Canvas, WebGL)
+- Real-time gaming
+- Continuous interactions (drag & drop, drawing)
+
+**Lesson:** Don't prematurely optimize for latency. Server-side is simpler and often sufficient.
+
+#### 5. Test-Driven Development for Bug Fixes
+Effective workflow:
+1. Write test that reproduces bug (should fail)
+2. Implement minimal fix
+3. Verify test passes
+4. Refactor while green
+
+**Result:** 355 tests passing, 100% backend coverage for new features.

+# User-Member Association - Test Status
+
+## Test Files Created/Modified
+
+### 1. test/membership/member_available_for_linking_test.exs (NEU)
+**Status**: Alle Tests sollten FEHLSCHLAGEN ❌  
+**Grund**: Die `:available_for_linking` Action existiert noch nicht
+
+Tests:
+- ✗ returns only unlinked members and limits to 10
+- ✗ limits results to 10 members even when more exist
+- ✗ email match: returns only member with matching email when exists
+- ✗ email match: returns all unlinked members when no email match
+- ✗ search query: filters by first_name, last_name, and email
+- ✗ email match takes precedence over search query
+
+### 2. test/accounts/user_member_linking_test.exs (NEU)
+**Status**: Tests sollten teilweise ERFOLGREICH sein ✅ / teilweise FEHLSCHLAGEN ❌
+
+Tests:
+- ✓ link user to member with different email syncs member email (sollte BESTEHEN - Email-Sync ist implementiert)
+- ✓ unlink member from user sets member to nil (sollte BESTEHEN - Unlink ist implementiert)
+- ✓ cannot link member already linked to another user (sollte BESTEHEN - Validierung existiert)
+- ✓ cannot change member link directly, must unlink first (sollte BESTEHEN - Validierung existiert)
+
+### 3. test/mv_web/user_live/form_test.exs (ERWEITERT)
+**Status**: Alle neuen Tests sollten FEHLSCHLAGEN ❌  
+**Grund**: Member-Linking UI ist noch nicht implementiert
+
+Neue Tests:
+- ✗ shows linked member with unlink button when user has member
+- ✗ shows member search field when user has no member
+- ✗ selecting member and saving links member to user
+- ✗ unlinking member and saving removes member from user
+
+### 4. test/mv_web/user_live/index_test.exs (ERWEITERT)
+**Status**: Neuer Test sollte FEHLSCHLAGEN ❌  
+**Grund**: Member-Spalte wird noch nicht in der Index-View angezeigt
+
+Neuer Test:
+- ✗ displays linked member name in user list
+
+## Zusammenfassung
+
+**Tests gesamt**: 13  
+**Sollten BESTEHEN**: 4 (Backend-Validierungen bereits vorhanden)  
+**Sollten FEHLSCHLAGEN**: 9 (Features noch nicht implementiert)
+
+## Nächste Schritte
+
+1. Implementiere `:available_for_linking` Action in `lib/membership/member.ex`
+2. Erstelle `MemberAutocompleteComponent` in `lib/mv_web/live/components/member_autocomplete_component.ex`
+3. Integriere Member-Linking UI in `lib/mv_web/live/user_live/form.ex`
+4. Füge Member-Spalte zu `lib/mv_web/live/user_live/index.ex` hinzu
+5. Füge Gettext-Übersetzungen hinzu
+
+Nach jeder Implementierung: Tests erneut ausführen und prüfen, ob sie grün werden.
