## 🎯 What's Working Now

Clients can now:
1. ✅ View pending time entry approvals

3. ✅ Accept or reject quotes
4. ✅ Pay invoices directly from the portal
5. ✅ See pending approvals on dashboard
6. ✅ Navigate easily with updated menu

---

## 🚀 Next Steps (Optional)

### Quick Wins (2-4 hours each):
1. Create email templates for quote acceptance/rejection
2. Add notification badges to navigation
3. Create project comments UI (after model update)

### Medium Effort (1-2 days each):
1. Email notification system

1. Client-specific reports
2. Project activity feed
3. Real-time updates
4. Mobile app

## 📝 Notes

### Comment Model Issue
The Comment model currently requires `user_id` (non-nullable). For client comments, we need to either:
1. Create a system user for client comments
2. Modify Comment model to support nullable user_id + client_contact_id
3. Create separate ClientComment model

**Recommendation:** Option 2 (modify Comment model)

### Notification System
A notification system would require:
- `ClientNotification` model
- `ClientNotificationPreferences` model
- Notification service
- Email templates
- In-app notification center UI
