## Post Submission Flow

These scenarios cover the full round-trip: filling the form → saving → verifying values in the UI and on disk. Use the exact test values specified so that each assertion can be precise.

**Test data (use verbatim):**

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Title | `QA Test Entry` |
| Date & Time | `2026-06-18 10:00` |
| Content | `This is the QA test body. Second sentence for length.` |
| City | `Tokyo` |
| Country | `Japan` |
| Latitude | `35.689487` |
| Longitude | `139.691711` |
| Photos | none (keep simple for first run) |

**Expected slug:** `2026-06-18-1000-qa-test-entry`
**Expected folder:** `2026-06-18-1000-qa-test-entry.entry/`
**Expected URL:** `/tracker/2026-06-18-1000-qa-test-entry.entry`

The slug is built from `date(Y-m-d-Hi)` + title lowercased with `[^a-z0-9]+` replaced by hyphens.

| Step | Action | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GET http://100.96.115.96:8081/tracker | Mini-map section visible |

### TC-P.10: Two posts on the same day

| Step | Action | Expected Result |

| 2 | Submit a second post: date `2026-06-18 14:30`, title `Afternoon Update` | Success message shown |
| 3 | Check filesystem | Two separate folders exist: `2026-06-18-1000-morning-update.entry/` and `2026-06-18-1430-afternoon-update.entry/` |
| 4 | Visit /tracker | Both entries visible as separate cards |

**Note:** The slug encodes date + time + title, so same-day posts are fully supported as long as they have different times or titles. A true collision (same date, same time, same title) would silently fail — treat this as acceptable given solo use.

**Manual verification required:** Requires two browser submissions
