Companion plugin: grooming entry point for KennelFlow, built on KennelFlow Core.

== Description ==

KennelFlow Groom is the grooming line in the KennelFlow family. This **first WordPress.org release** is intentionally small: it verifies integration with **KennelFlow Core**, adds a **Groom** item under the KennelFlow Hub menu, and links administrators to shared **Pets** content.

Later releases can add scheduling, groomer-facing tools, commissions, and deeper integrations—without changing the plugin’s role as a Core companion.

Data stays on your site. This version does not call third-party APIs.

== License ==

KennelFlow Groom is free software, licensed under the **GNU General Public License v2.0 or later** (GPLv2 or later). The full license text is in the `LICENSE` file and at the License URI in the header above.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate **KennelFlow Core** (required).
2. Install KennelFlow Groom through the WordPress.org plugin directory or by uploading the zip under **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**.
3. Activate KennelFlow Groom through the **Plugins** screen.
4. Open **KennelFlow → Groom** in the admin menu.

= Compatibility =

**KennelFlow Groom** is a **companion plugin**. It is designed to run with **KennelFlow Core** (shared pets and locations). It aligns with **KennelFlow Boarding** and other KennelFlow add-ons: Core owns the hub data model; Groom extends the product line for grooming workflows in future releases. The name “Groom” indicates the vertical, not a dependency shipped with WordPress itself.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this version include scheduling or commissions? =

No. This release only adds the Hub submenu and onboarding copy. More features are planned for subsequent versions.

= Does Groom work without KennelFlow Core? =

No. Activate KennelFlow Core first. WordPress will list Core as a required plugin when supported by your site.

= Does the plugin send data to third parties? =

This version does not connect to third-party APIs.

== Changelog ==

= 0.1.0 =
* Initial WordPress.org release: requires KennelFlow Core, adds KennelFlow → Groom read-only screen and link to Pets.
