Install git in Docker image and wrap all subprocess git calls in
try/except so a missing or failing git binary never kills an upload
that already succeeded.

Every agent now has explicit instructions in its own definition file,
not just in HEARTBEAT.md. An agent following only its own step-by-step
instructions will do the right thing on any new case.
All 6 non-CEO agents: explicit wakeup CEO block in completion step
(curl API + psql fallback, with agent name customized)
legal-ceo.md: issue template for analyst with 5 mandatory items
(document mapping table, no-extract list, split large docs,
wakeup CEO, blocked if failed)
legal-writer.md: explicit Read of decision-methodology.md as step 1
(before case_get, not just "read before starting")
legal-qa.md: methodology_compliance severity → critical
(was warning — decisions without syllogisms/steel-man now blocked)
legal-proofreader.md: added case_update tool + status='proofread'
(was missing entirely — CEO couldn't know proofreading was done)
legal-researcher.md: added case_update + mail notification
(was missing — CEO couldn't know research was done)

"בית ספר להחלטות" Phase 2 — the system now has formal analytical
methodology for building quasi-judicial decisions, separate from
Dafna's writing style (SKILL.md) and content checklists.
What was done:
- Downloaded 5 authoritative sources (~341K words): FJC Judicial
Writing Manual (1991+2020), Garner Legal Writing in Plain English,
Posner How Judges Think, Scalia/Garner Making Your Case
- Extracted principles from all sources into intermediate docs
- Synthesized into docs/decision-methodology.md (3,400 words,
12 sections, 10 guiding principles)
- Integrated methodology into block-yod prompt via {methodology_guidance}
- Restructured legal-writer agent workflow to follow analytical stages
- Made "answer all claims" flexible (bundle/skip via chair_directions)
- Added methodology compliance check (#7) to legal-qa agent
- Updated all knowledge files (CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md, lessons, corpus)
Three-layer architecture:
1. Methodology (decision-methodology.md) — universal, how to think
2. Content checklists (lessons.py) — specific per appeal subtype
3. Style (SKILL.md) — Dafna's personal writing patterns

Closes the loop so דפנה's positions (written inline in the UI and
saved to analysis-and-research.md) automatically become binding
direction for the legal-writer agent — no manual copy-paste,
no bypass.
Backend:
- research_md.extract_chair_directions(path) returns a compact dict
with status (missing/empty/partial/complete), filled_count,
empty_count, and a reduced list of threshold_claims + issues each
with {id, number, title, direction}. Designed to be directly usable
as direction_doc by the writer.
- New MCP tool: drafting.get_chair_directions(case_number) wraps the
helper, resolves the case research file path via config.find_case_dir,
returns formatted JSON.
- Registered in server.py as mcp__legal-ai__get_chair_directions.
legal-writer agent update:
- Adds get_chair_directions to the tools list.
- New mandatory "שלב 1ב" before any block writing: call
get_chair_directions, branch on status.
- missing → halt, report "legal-analyst לא רץ עדיין"
- empty → halt, instruct Dafna to fill positions via the UI URL
- partial → halt unless user confirms; write only filled sections
- complete → proceed
- New "שלב 1ג" constructs an internal direction_doc from the
received chair rulings before writing block י.
- Block י section expanded with 5 binding rules:
1. Open each discussion with Dafna's ruling as the thesis
2. Frame the reasoning in her style (use get_style_guide phrases)
3. Match her tone (decisive vs nuanced)
4. Must NOT contradict her position — if she disagreed with your
own inclination, her position rules
5. Use legal_questions from the analysis file as the analytical
structure (principle question first, concrete application second)
- New bullet section for block יא: summarize each chair ruling
briefly, state final outcome, close with the signed date formula.
Verified all four status paths (missing/empty/partial/complete) via
local test. Now Dafna's workflow is fully end-to-end: she reads the
analyst report in the UI, fills "עמדת ועדת הערר" in each card, hits
blur to auto-save, then triggers legal-writer — which picks up her
positions as direction without any file shuffle.

Two issues that caused QA agent to fail:
1. save_block_content saved to DB only — now also rebuilds drafts/decision.md
2. legal-writer.md now has explicit mandatory step: case_update(status="drafted")
Without these, workflow_status reports has_draft=false and QA can't run.

Complete agent pipeline for decision writing:
1. legal-analyst (existing) — extract claims/responses/replies
2. legal-researcher (new) — analyze precedents, plans, protocols
3. legal-writer (new) — write decision blocks in Dafna's style
4. legal-qa (new) — validate before export (6 checks)
All agents use claude_local adapter (Claude Code session, zero API cost).
Each has YAML frontmatter with specific tools and detailed Hebrew instructions.
