+# ABDM M2 Test Session Handover & Verification Guide
+
+**Date:** 2026-09-29  
+**Branch:** `main`  
+**Latest Commits:**  
+- `6bd2430` — `fix(abdm-m1): sanitize otp error text, hide bridge request id, add beneficiary name to consent`  
+- `a33b376` — `feat(abdm-m2): add HIP link modal and care context discovery on patient registration`  
+**Live Environment:** [demo.e-atria.net](https://demo.e-atria.net/) (`10.8.0.1` / `/var/www/html/hms_etria`)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Executive Summary
+
+This session verified and configured end-to-end readiness for **ABDM Milestone 2 (M2)** testing, starting from Patient Registration through care context discovery, HIP-initiated linking, user-initiated linking, and FHIR data sharing.
+
+All changes have been unit tested (47/47 tests passing), committed, pushed to `origin/main`, and deployed live to `https://demo.e-atria.net/`.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Key Changes Implemented
+
+### A. Patient Registration & ABHA Management Integration
+- **File:** [Patient_V.php](file:///d:/Workplace/HMS_CI4_OLD/app/Views/billing/Patient_V.php)
+  - Included `partials/abdm_hip_link_modal.php` on the Patient Registration view so the HIP link modal can be opened from registration screens.
+  - Added hidden `input_abha_address` to `form.form1` so ABHA addresses are seamlessly submitted and saved to `patient_master`.
+  - Added a dedicated 4th card under **Patient Management → ABHA Management** tab:
+    - **Link Records to ABHA (HIP)** button (`openAbdmHipLinkModal()`)
+    - **Send Deep Link SMS** button (`openAbdmHipSmsModal()`)
+
+### B. Instant Care Context Discovery for New Patients
+- **File:** [AbdmGateway.php](file:///d:/Workplace/HMS_CI4_OLD/app/Controllers/AbdmGateway.php)
+  - Updated `findCareContextsForPatient()` to query `opd_master` in addition to `opd_prescription`.
+  - Previously, a care context was only discoverable after a doctor wrote a prescription or finalized a lab report.
+  - Now, as soon as an OPD consultation appointment / slip is created at the reception desk, the visit is instantly discoverable and linkable as `OPD-{patientId}-S{opdId}-{YYYYMMDD}` with title `OPConsultRecord - Dr. {DoctorName} - {Date}`.
+  - Added unit test `testDiscoversOpdMasterVisitWhenPrescriptionNotCreated` in [CareContextDiscoveryTest.php](file:///d:/Workplace/HMS_CI4_OLD/tests/unit/Abdm/CareContextDiscoveryTest.php).
+
+### C. 14-Digit ABHA Number & `@sbx` Address Dual Resolution
+- **File:** [AbdmGateway.php](file:///d:/Workplace/HMS_CI4_OLD/app/Controllers/AbdmGateway.php)
+  - Enhanced `hipPatientCareContexts()` so that if an ABHA address field contains a 14-digit numeric ABHA ID (or formatted `XX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX`), it queries both `abha_address` and `abha_id` in `patient_master`.
+
+### D. M1 Feedback Updates (Retained & Verified)
+- Normalized invalid OTP error alerts strictly to `"Incorrect OTP"` (or attempts exceeded message).
+- Removed internal `Bridge Request ID: REQ-...` from user-facing screens.
+- Added healthcare worker declaration and beneficiary name consent input field before Aadhaar OTP dispatch.

+
+## 3. M2 Testing Step-by-Step Walkthrough
+
+### Step 1: Register Patient & Create Visit Slip
+1. Open **Patient Management → New Person** on `https://demo.e-atria.net/`.
+2. Register patient with Mobile Number, Name, Gender, DOB.
+3. On patient record screen, click **Appointment For OPD** and assign a doctor to generate the OPD slip.
+4. Care context `OPD-{patientId}-S{opdId}-{YYYYMMDD}` is now live and linkable.
+
+### Step 2: Test HIP-Initiated Linking (Method 4 Demographic Auth)
+1. In patient profile or **ABHA Management**, click **Link Records to ABHA (HIP)**.
+2. Enter the patient's ABHA address (e.g., `user@sbx`).
+3. Patient demographics (Full Name, Gender, YOB) are pre-filled/verified.
+4. Select the OPD visit care context.
+5. Click **Link Selected Records (Demographic Auth)**.
+6. The gateway returns a JWT Link Token and links the care context to the ABHA account.
+
+### Step 3: Test Deep Link SMS (`sms/notify2`)
+1. On the same modal, switch to **Deep Link SMS (sms/notify2)** tab.
+2. Confirm the 10-digit mobile number and click **Send Deep Link SMS**.
+3. ABDM dispatches an SMS with an app deep link to the patient's mobile device.
+
+### Step 4: Test User-Initiated Discovery & Linking (from ABHA PHR App)
+1. Open the ABDM Sandbox ABHA / PHR app on a smartphone.
+2. Search for the facility: **Dev Softtech** (Facility ID: `IN0510000871`).
+3. Search by patient mobile number or ABHA address.
+4. Select the discovered care contexts and request OTP.
+5. Verify OTP to confirm the linking.
+
+### Step 5: Test Health Record View (FHIR Bundles in PHR App)
+1. Doctor submits clinical notes/prescription in **OPD Prescription** editor (or saves findings in **Radiology Report Editor**).
+2. In the PHR app, tap on the linked hospital and tap **Fetch Records** / **Pull Records**.
+3. The HMS generates and transfers the encrypted FHIR bundle (`OPConsultRecord` or `DiagnosticReportRecord`).
+4. Patient views findings and medications directly in the PHR app.
