## 🎯 Key Findings

1. **CAPTCHA Protection**: The signup form has working CAPTCHA protection that requires manual entry. This is expected for security and cannot be automated without OCR or backend bypass.

2. **Form Validation**: All client-side validations are working correctly, providing real-time feedback to users.

3. **Services Integration**: Frontend successfully connects to backend API Gateway at localhost:9100.

4. **Admin Panel**: API proxy is configured correctly, resolving previous 401 errors.

5. **Chrome Compatibility**: CSS overflow issues have been resolved for Chrome browser.

## 🚀 Next Actions

To fully validate the end-to-end flow:

1. Run the manual test script: `node manual-e2e-test.cjs`
2. Enter CAPTCHA when prompted
3. Complete email verification with OTP
4. Fill company profile
5. Check admin panel for the verification request

Alternatively, you can:

- Disable CAPTCHA in development mode for automated testing
- Use a test-only backend endpoint that bypasses CAPTCHA
- Implement a test fixture that pre-creates verified accounts
