<p>The lifecycle has two phases separated into two tables so each table's invariants stay clean: a <strong>request phase</strong> (no money) and a <strong>booking phase</strong> (always implies captured payment).</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Request → accept → pay → confirm lifecycle:</strong></p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Customer submits a <strong>booking request</strong> (nurse, patient, variant, address, date/time, requested caregiver gender, customer notes). Status <code>pending_nurse_response</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>The nurse must respond before a <strong>response deadline</strong> (<code>nurse_response_deadline_at</code>, computed from config and frozen on the request). The nurse <strong>accepts</strong> → <code>accepted_awaiting_payment</code>, or <strong>rejects</strong> → <code>rejected_by_nurse</code>, or the deadline passes → <code>expired_no_response</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>On accept, a <strong>30-minute payment window</strong> opens (<code>payment_deadline_at</code>). The customer pays within it → a <code>bookings</code> row is created (<code>confirmed</code>). If the window lapses → <code>payment_deadline_expired</code>.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p><strong>Single-visit AND multi-session / long-duration engagements must both be representable.</strong> Home nursing is frequently multi-visit: post-surgery daily visits for ten days, month-long nightly or شبانهروزی (24h live-in) care. A booking therefore carries a <code>session_count</code> and owns <strong>N <code>booking_sessions</code></strong> (one row per scheduled visit), each with its own schedule, its own EVV check-in/out, and its own payout eligibility. A single EVV per booking cannot represent a multi-day engagement, so the engagement-to-session split is the core scheduling model.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Booking lifecycle:</strong> <code>pending_payment</code> → <code>confirmed</code> (payment captured) → <code>in_progress</code> (first/relevant session check-in) → <code>completed</code> (sessions checked out) → optionally <code>disputed</code> → <code>closed</code>; or <code>cancelled</code> before service. Allowed transitions are guarded explicitly so the booking and EVV state machines cannot silently contradict.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Snapshots:</strong> <code>variant_snapshot_json</code> and <code>address_snapshot_json</code> freeze the service and address at booking time.</p>

<ul>
|
|
<li>Multi-session and شبانهروزی live-in care is the <strong>dominant</strong> elder-care shape in Iran, not a niche — modeling only single visits would fail to represent demand.</li>
|
|
<li>Heavy platform control over multi-visit scheduling <strong>strengthens a worker-misclassification argument</strong> under labor law; this is flagged for counsel, and the platform deliberately keeps the nurse's accept/reject autonomy per request.</li>
|
|
<li>Availability slots/exceptions are <strong>soft guidance only</strong> (informing search), not hard blocks — the nurse still individually accepts or rejects each request, which also fits the Shamsi week and holiday rhythm.</li>

|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>MVP:</strong> request→accept→pay→confirm lifecycle with response deadline + 30-min payment window; single-visit bookings; <code>booking_sessions</code> for multi-session/long-duration engagements with per-session EVV and payout; explicit status-transition guards; snapshots; soft availability slots/exceptions.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>DEFERRED:</strong> open-ended recurring schedules (<code>recurring_booking_schedules</code> modeled, inactive — launch is all finite engagements); milestone/progress-payment UX beyond per-session accrual; hard availability-based booking blocks.</li>
