Verified mentor profiles
Mentor cards and profiles need display pictures, headlines, expertise, session offers, pricing, availability, and verified status before they are published.

MentorGO
Book focused guidance from verified mentors.
MentorGO is the LerenGO guidance layer for structured mentor profiles, availability, paid sessions, and booking states. It should launch as a trust-first marketplace, not as a casual advice feed.
Foundation
The directory starts with verification, not volume.
Published mentor cards appear only after the mentor profile, session offer, availability direction, and admin approval model exist. No placeholder mentors are rendered.
Structured paid booking
Booking cannot be a loose contact form. It needs session types, future slots, student goals, price snapshots, payment status, and booking lifecycle states.

Mentor operations
Mentors need a controlled workspace for profile completion, availability, bookings, reviews, and earnings without exposing student context outside its role boundary.

Approved mentor profiles
These cards are backed by `mentor_profiles` and `mentor_session_types`. Only approved and published profiles are eligible here.
Backend state
MentorGO schema is not applied yet.
Apply web/supabase/module_expansion_schema.sql before using MentorGO directory, booking, and admin review workflows.
A mentor marketplace fails if quality and payment states are vague.
- Only approved and published mentors should appear in the directory.
- Students, mentors, and admins see booking context according to role.
- Payment and booking state must stay separate and explicit.
- Double booking must be prevented below the UI layer.
Booking lifecycle
Booking and payment states must stay explicit.
The MVP should store snapshots for price, currency, time, and payment reference. UI controls should derive from status, not ambiguous booleans.

Next build step
Implement the trust layer before marketplace polish.
The next slice should add MentorGO schema, approved-profile reads, and admin verification. Booking and payment should come after slot generation is safe.
