[codeunia-dev]

This PR introduces the company resubmission flow, enabling company owners to update their details and re-submit their registration after it has been rejected.

🔄 Key Features Added

✅ Resubmission Flow

• Owners can now edit previously rejected company details.
• Re-submit action triggers a fresh review cycle.
• Status automatically resets from rejected → pending_review.

📝 UI/UX Enhancements

• Updated forms and components to reflect resubmission state.
• Clear messaging for rejected companies guiding owners to update and resubmit.

🔐 Permission Controls

• Only company owners are allowed to perform resubmission.

• Validation ensures only rejected companies can be resubmitted.

Walkthrough

Introduces a resubmission flow allowing rejected companies to update their registration data and resubmit. This includes a new GET endpoint to fetch rejected company details, updates to the registration POST endpoint to handle both new and update paths, UI changes to support pre-population and resubmission feedback, and form modifications to track company ownership during creation.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
API Routes app/api/companies/register/route.ts, app/api/companies/resubmit/[id]/route.ts	POST route extended to accept optional companyId for updates; validates ownership and rejected status before updating company details, clears verification notes, and resets status to pending. New GET route fetches rejected company data with structured address/socials objects, performs ownership and status validation, and returns pre-filled payload for form.
Registration Page app/companies/register/page.tsx	Wraps registration in Suspense; introduces CompanyRegisterContent component to manage resubmission flow, including fetching via /api/companies/resubmit/[id], handling loading/error states, and conditionally rendering UI for initial registration vs. resubmission with verification feedback banner.
Form Component components/companies/CompanyRegistrationForm.tsx	Extended with initialData and companyId props to support prefill and update scenarios; form submission includes companyId when updating; success messages differentiate between new registration and update.
Service Layer lib/services/company-service.ts	Adds owner_id: userId to company data during creation to track ownership for verification purposes.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

• API validation logic: Review error handling and ownership/status checks in both routes; ensure no security bypasses in the resubmission flow.
• State management in page component: Verify loading/error handling during data fetch and toast notifications.
• Form prop changes: Confirm initialData/companyId props are correctly threaded and that submission distinguishes between new and update paths.
• Service layer update: Ensure owner_id is consistently tracked and does not break existing company creation flows.

Poem

🐰 A rejected form hops back in the door,
With data pre-filled, now polished once more,
The ownership tracked, the status set right,
A second chance blooms—resubmission takes flight! ✨
