Description of Test	Verify that a participant can discover a protected event through keyword search, submit a join request, have it approved by the host, and then receive a reconfirmation notification with their participation status set to Waiting Confirmation when the host modifies the event's start time after approval.
Pre-condition	Host and participant accounts exist. Backend, frontend/mobile client, and database are running. The event has not yet started. No prior join requests exist between the two accounts for this event.
Dependencies	Login, public event discovery via search, join request creation, host approval, event editing (time change), reconfirmation trigger, notification delivery.
Test Data	Host: ayse_edit_host@test.com, password: HostEdit!2026. Participant: can_search_user@test.com, password: SearchPass!2026. Event title: TC Outdoor Yoga Morning. Privacy: PROTECTED. Capacity: 10. Category: Sports. Location: Maçka Park, Istanbul. Latitude: 41.045210. Longitude: 29.001540. Original start: 2026-05-15T08:00:00+03:00. Original end: 2026-05-15T09:30:00+03:00. Updated start: 2026-05-15T09:00:00+03:00. Join message: I would love to join the yoga session.
Expected Results	The participant can find the protected event by searching for its title keyword. The event detail page is visible but requires a join request. After the host approves the join request, the participant's status becomes APPROVED and a ticket is generated. When the host updates the event start time, the participant's participation status changes to WAITING CONFIRMATION, and the participant receives a notification informing them of the time change and requesting reconfirmation. After the participant reconfirms, their status returns to APPROVED.
Actual Result	Not executed during Lab 9.
Post-condition	Participant's participation status is APPROVED. Event start time is updated to 2026-05-15T09:00:00+03:00. A new event version entry exists in the changelog. The reconfirmation notification is stored in the participant's in-app inbox.
Automated?	No
Link / Defect ID	No defect. Related features: event editing flow, reconfirmation trigger, notification service.
Requirement	1.1.3, 3.1.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 4.3.1, 4.3.3, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.5.3, 4.5.4, 5.1.1, 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 7.1.1, 7.1.3, 7.2.1, 7.3.1, 7.3.2
Status	Not Executed
Notes	This test covers both the happy path (successful discovery and approval) and a state transition edge case: a critical time change after approval must force a reconfirmation cycle. The participant's status must temporarily drop to WAITING CONFIRMATION before returning to APPROVED upon reconfirmation.
