The drawer was showing a full metadata form (legal topic, case name,
legal issue, cited-by-party + name, status) — most of it duplicated
fields that get auto-extracted from the file once it's uploaded, or
that are already known from when the row was detected. The visible
placeholder text ('לינדאב בע"מ', 'אנטרים', 'זכות עמידה') looked like
real data and confused readers.
Strip the form down to a single "הערות" textarea — that's the only
field the chair actually needs to edit. Reasons for who cited the
decision and in what context belong there too. Everything else (shape
of the precedent on the case_law side) is the LLM extractor's job.

The missing-precedents drawer + general precedent upload both required
the user to type chair_name, district, practice_area, court, date etc.
upfront — even though those fields can be (and already are, post-upload)
extracted from the document text by the LLM. The metadata-extraction
wakeup also only fired for the /precedent-library/upload path, leaving
missing-precedents committee uploads stuck with whatever stub the user
typed.
Changes:
- Extractor learns chair_name + district, overwrites the new
PLACEHOLDER_PENDING_EXTRACTION sentinel for internal_committee rows
(the DB CHECK forces non-empty; we stamp the placeholder at insert).
- missing_precedent_upload no longer 400s on missing chair/district;
it infers district from the citation when possible, falls back to
the placeholder, and always fires pc_wake_for_precedent_extraction
so the LLM can fill in the rest.
- Both upload sheets default to file (+ citation) only; every other
field is tucked into a closed <details> labeled "אופציונלי — דריסה
ידנית של שדות שיחולצו אוטומטית". Required validators on chair/
district/practice_area dropped — the LLM fills them.

Four parallel sub-agents closed the remaining critical gaps from the
26/05 Stage A/B sprint. Each block independently tested; aggregated here.
## #30/#31 finalizers (sub-agent A)
* Auto-derive practice_area in case_create from case_number prefix
(1xxx→rishuy_uvniya, 8xxx→betterment_levy, 9xxx→compensation_197);
default for CaseCreateRequest is now "" (the DB constraint catches
any stray "appeals_committee").
* practice_area.py: derive_subtype now handles axis-B domain values
(rishuy_uvniya/betterment_levy/compensation_197) without parsing the
case number; new helper derive_domain_practice_area().
* Halacha re-extraction verified unnecessary — all 6 reclassified
records already had is_binding=false and approved halachot.
* Regression tests: 6 cases in tests/test_corpus_constraints.py
covering practice_area enum, internal-committee chair/district,
external-upload arar prefix, MCP guard.
* UI: district input → Select dropdown (7 districts) in
precedent-edit-sheet.tsx, preserving legacy free-text values.
## #37 בל"מ subtypes (sub-agent B)
* 3 new appeal_subtypes: extension_request_{building_permit,
betterment_levy,compensation}. APPEALS_COMMITTEE_SUBTYPES extended,
SUBTYPES_BY_AREA mappings added.
* New helpers: is_blam_subject(), is_blam_subtype(),
derive_subtype_with_blam(case_number, subject, practice_area).
case_create now uses it to auto-detect "בקשה להארכת מועד" subjects.
* 3 methodology templates under docs/methodology/extension-request-*.md.
* paperclip_client.py mapping updated for the 3 new subtypes
(extension_request_building_permit→CMP, the other two→CMPA).
* Frontend: bilingual "בל"מ" badge + filter dropdown on cases list +
detail header; appeal-type-bars collapseBlam() merges בל"מ into its
parent domain for aggregate bars.
* Wizard auto-detects בל"מ from subject during case creation.
* 3 Berlinger cases (1017/1018/1019-03-26) migrated to
appeal_subtype=extension_request_building_permit via psql.
## #35 missing_precedents feature (sub-agent C)
* Schema V13: missing_precedents table (citation, case_id, party,
legal_topic, status, linked_case_law_id, claim_quote, ...) +
FK constraints + 3 indexes. Applied via psql + idempotent migration.
* 6 db.py service functions, 3 MCP tools, 6 FastAPI endpoints
(POST/GET/PATCH/DELETE/upload — upload routes by citation prefix
to ingest_internal_decision or ingest_precedent).
* Next.js page /missing-precedents with 5 status tabs + filters +
sidebar badge counter + detail drawer with metadata edit + smart
upload form that switches fields per committee/court.
* Bootstrap: 7 rows imported from the JSON file
(3 citations × cases, all status=closed with linked_case_law_id).
* legal-researcher.md: new §2ב.5 with missing_precedent_create
usage + dedup semantics + tool grant.
## #36 legal_arguments aggregation (sub-agent D)
* Schema V14: legal_arguments + legal_argument_propositions M:M.
Applied via psql.
* New service argument_aggregator.py with two functions —
aggregate_claims_to_arguments() (Claude CLI / claude_session) and
get_legal_arguments(). Graceful llm_unavailable handling when CLI
is missing (containers).
* 2 MCP tools + 2 API endpoints (POST .../aggregate-arguments as
BackgroundTask, GET .../legal-arguments).
* Frontend: shadcn Accordion + new legal-arguments-panel.tsx with
hierarchical (party → priority badge → arguments) display, "טיעונים"
tab on the case page, "חשב/חשב מחדש" buttons.
* scripts/backfill_legal_arguments.py + SCRIPTS.md entry — dry-run
found 8 candidate cases including 1017/1018/1019.
## Open follow-ups (intentionally deferred)
* npm run api:types in web-ui (CLAUDE.md flow) — recommended before
the next UI commit; not required for backend deployment.
* Run backfill_legal_arguments.py --apply once the container picks up
the new aggregator service.
* webhook on missing-precedents upload-close to Paperclip (optional).
