```

### 2. **Create a Collection**
- Go to `/collections`
- Click "Create Collection"
- Fill out:
  - Name: "Alice's Pokemon Collection"
  - Description: "My favorite Pokemon cards"
  - Image: (optional) `https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1606092195730-5d7b9af1efc5?w=1200`
  - Show in Community: Toggle ON for public visibility

### 3. **Add Cards to Collection**
- Navigate to the new collection (auto-redirect after creation)
- Use "Quick Add" search in empty state
- Search for "Pikachu" and click to add
- Search for "Charizard" and click to add
- See real-time collection value updates

### 4. **Invite Bob as Collaborator**
- Click "Invite Collaborator" button
- Enter: `bob@tcgvault.com`
- Role: Collaborator (default)

- Click "Send Invitation"

### 5. **Switch to Bob's Account**
- Logout and login as Bob
- Email: `bob@tcgvault.com`
- Password: `bob123`

### 6. **Accept Invitation (Simulated)**
Since we're testing locally, simulate email acceptance:
- Go to: `/invite/accept?token=MOCK_TOKEN`
- Or manually add Bob to Alice's collection via database

### 7. **Test Collaboration**
As Bob:
- Go to `/collections` - should see Alice's collection
- Open Alice's collection
- Add more cards using Quick Add
- See Bob's activity in collaboration panel

### 8. **Test Permission Levels**
- Bob can add/edit cards (Collaborator role)
- Bob cannot delete collection (only Alice can)
- Collection shows as "Public" but editing requires invitation

## 🔧 Quick Database Commands

### Add Bob to Alice's Collection Manually:
```sql
-- Get collection ID (usually 1 for first collection)
SELECT id FROM collections WHERE name LIKE '%Alice%';

-- Add Bob as collaborator
INSERT INTO collection_permissions (collection_id, user_id, role, status)
VALUES (1, 3, 'editor', 'active');
```

### Check Users:
```bash
node scripts/list-users.js
```
