+- status: merged to main
+- date: 2026-07-11
+- inspection: complete
+- implementation: complete
+- files changed:
+  - `feature_wordpress/lib/src/presentation/widgets/create_product_dialog.dart` — new `CreateProductDialog` StatefulWidget with name (required), price (required), SKU, category dropdown, description, and initial-status `SegmentedButton` (Draft / Review); inline validation errors; `CreateProductDialogResult` value object; `showCreateProductDialog()` helper
+  - `feature_wordpress/lib/src/presentation/category_management_page.dart` — new `CategoryManagementPage` with category list, add-category FAB, inline rename, delete with confirmation dialog, empty state, loading/error states; `CategoryManagementPage.route()` static helper
+  - `feature_wordpress/lib/src/application/product_publishing_controller.dart` — added `CreateProductResult` sealed class (`CreateProductSuccess`, `CreateProductFailure`); added `lastCreateProductResult`, `consumeCreateProductResult()`, `createNewProduct()` (calls `CreateProduct` use case, auto-selects new product, reloads); added `fetchCategories()` (calls `GetCategories` use case); `CreateProduct` and `GetCategories` use cases are optional named constructor params for backward compatibility
+  - `feature_wordpress/lib/src/presentation/product_publishing_page.dart` — added "New Product" `FilledButton.icon` in toolbar; wired `showCreateProductDialog()` → `controller.createNewProduct()`; added `showCreateProductSnackBar()` result listener; added "Manage Categories" `TextButton` in toolbar linking to `CategoryManagementPage`
+  - `feature_wordpress/lib/feature_wordpress.dart` — exported `CreateProductDialog`, `CreateProductDialogResult`, `showCreateProductDialog`, `CategoryManagementPage`, `CreateProductResult`, `CreateProductSuccess`, `CreateProductFailure`
+  - `kell_mobile/lib/pages/mobile_create_product_page.dart` — new `MobileCreateProductPage` full-screen form (name, price, SKU, category dropdown, description, initial status) with `AppBar` and "Create Product" action button; mirrors dialog fields in a scrollable page layout
+  - `kell_mobile/lib/pages/mobile_publishing_page.dart` — added "New Product" `FloatingActionButton` navigating to `MobileCreateProductPage`; wired result back to `controller.createNewProduct()`; added `showCreateProductSnackBar()` result listener
+  - `feature_wordpress/test/widgets/create_product_dialog_test.dart` — 13 new widget tests: renders fields, Cancel returns null, name/price validation errors, valid submit returns result, SKU/description included, category dropdown shown/hidden, initial status defaults to draft, error-clears-on-type, standalone render
+  - `feature_wordpress/test/widgets/category_management_page_test.dart` — 14 new widget tests: renders category list, empty state, add category dialog, rename inline, delete confirmation, loading state, error state, category count
+  - `feature_wordpress/test/product_publishing_controller_test.dart` — added 7 new controller tests: `createNewProduct` success/auto-select/failure/consume/null-use-case, `fetchCategories` success/null-use-case

Added `CategoryManagementPage` with category list, add-category FAB, inline rename, delete with confirmation dialog, empty/loading/error states. Extended `ProductPublishingController` with `CreateProductResult` sealed class, `createNewProduct()` (calls `CreateProduct` use case, auto-selects new product, reloads), and `fetchCategories()`. Wired "New Product" button and "Manage Categories" link into `ProductPublishingPage` toolbar. Added `MobileCreateProductPage` full-screen form for mobile. Added "New Product" FAB to `MobilePublishingPage`. Expanded barrel exports. 34 new tests added (13 dialog, 14 category page, 7 controller) — 424 total `feature_wordpress` tests passing. Analyze clean.
