+# Entry Request System Test Coverage
+
+## Test Files Created
+
+### 1. Model Tests: `test/models/entry_request_test.rb`
+Tests for Entry model enhancements:
+- ✅ Validates that at least one translation is required
+- ✅ Entry status defaults to "active"
+- ✅ Scopes (requested, approved, active_entries) work correctly
+- ✅ requested_by association functions properly
+- ✅ Status transitions (requested → approved → active)
+- ✅ Blank translations are properly handled
+
+**13 tests, 40 assertions**
+
+### 2. Public Controller Tests: `test/controllers/requests_controller_test.rb`
+Tests for public entry request submission:
+- ✅ Shows new request form for anonymous users (with name/email fields)
+- ✅ Shows new request form for logged-in users (without name/email fields)
+- ✅ Creates entry request with valid data
+- ✅ Requires at least one translation
+- ✅ Redirects to login if email already exists with accepted invitation
+- ✅ Shows pending count for email with existing requests
+- ✅ Creates entry with single or multiple translations
+- ✅ Logged-in user can submit request without providing name/email
+- ✅ Does not modify existing user when they submit request
+- ✅ Reuses existing pending user without modifying them
+- ✅ Transaction rollback on validation failure
+
+**11 tests, 78 assertions**
+
+### 3. Admin Controller Tests: `test/controllers/admin/requests_controller_test.rb`
+Tests for admin request management:
+- ✅ Requires admin authentication
+- ✅ Shows requests index with requested and approved sections
+- ✅ Lists requested and approved entries
+- ✅ Shows request details
+- ✅ Shows edit form for requested entry
+- ✅ Updates entry details
+- ✅ Validates entry data on update
+- ✅ Approves request and sends invitation email
+- ✅ Rejects request and deletes entry/user
+- ✅ Preserves user if they have multiple entries
+- ✅ Blocks access for non-admin users (contributors, reviewers)
+
+**14 tests, 85 assertions**
+
+### 4. Integration Tests: `test/integration/entry_request_flow_test.rb`
+Full end-to-end flow tests:
+- ✅ Complete flow: request → admin approve → user accepts → entry active
+- ✅ Rejected request removes entry and user
+- ✅ Requested/approved entries not visible on public site
+- ✅ Multiple entries by same requester all activated on invitation acceptance
+- ✅ Admin can edit entry details before approval
+- ✅ Cannot submit request with existing user email
+
+**6 tests**
+
+## Fixtures Added
+
+### Updated: `test/fixtures/entries.yml`
+- Added `status: 2` (active) to existing entries
+- Added `requested_entry` fixture (status: requested)
+- Added `approved_entry` fixture (status: approved)
+
+### Updated: `test/fixtures/users.yml`
+- Added `requester_user` fixture (user without accepted invitation)
+
+### 5. Mailer Tests: `test/mailers/invitation_mailer_test.rb`
+Invitation email tests including entry approval notifications:
+- ✅ Sends email with correct details
+- ✅ Includes invitation link and expiry date
+- ✅ Has both HTML and text parts
+- ✅ **With approved entry: includes entry details in email**
+- ✅ **With approved entry: shows correct message and formatting**
+- ✅ Without approved entry: uses standard invitation message
+
+**7 tests, 38 assertions**
+
+## Test Summary
+
+**Total: 51 tests, 316 assertions**

+Run specific test:

+bin/rails test test/integration/entry_request_flow_test.rb:3
+```
+
+## Test Coverage Areas
+
+### Public Request Flow
+- Form display and validation (different for logged-in vs anonymous users)
+- User and entry creation
+- Email duplicate detection for active accounts
+- Logged-in users submit without providing name/email
+- Existing users are never modified during request submission
+- Existing pending users are reused without modification
+- Transaction safety
+
+### Admin Management Flow
+- Authentication and authorization
+- Request listing and filtering
+- Request details display
+- Entry editing before approval
+- Approval with invitation sending
+- Rejection with cleanup
+
+### Integration Flow
+- Complete user journey from request to active entry
+- Entry visibility rules (requested/approved not shown publicly)
+- Multi-entry approval and activation
+- Admin workflow with editing
+
+### Edge Cases
+- Validation failures with transaction rollback
+- User preservation when they have multiple entries
+- Expired invitations
+- Non-admin access attempts
+- Blank translations handling
