Same case_number can exist as both a regular appeal (ערר) and an
extension-of-time request (בל"מ), and we were inferring the difference
from appeal_subtype prefixes — fragile, and case-number lookups
weren't disambiguated. Now stored as a first-class field on both
case_law (corpus) and cases (live cases), with partial unique indexes
on (case_number, proceeding_type).
- SCHEMA_V15: column + CHECK constraints + backfill from
appeal_subtype LIKE 'extension_request_%' + partial unique indexes
replace the old global UNIQUE(case_number).
- derive_proceeding_type() centralizes the inference rule
(extension_request_* → בל"מ; subject regex fallback; default ערר).
- Metadata extractor prompt asks Claude to populate the new field
explicitly; apply_to_record writes it for internal_committee rows.
- internal_decision_upload, case_create, case_update accept an
optional proceeding_type; FastAPI request models expose it.
- Wizard + edit dialog get a sided Select; case header renders the
resolved label (ערר / בל"מ).
- Uploaded the 2 staged בל"מ decisions on betterment levy:
8126/24 (סופר נוח, 13 chunks), 8047/23 (הרנון, 48 chunks).

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).

- Fix keyboard navigation bug: React was reusing the submit button DOM element
when transitioning "הבא" → "צור תיק", retaining focus and causing Enter to
auto-submit step 3. Added key props to force element replacement.
- CaseEditDialog now covers all wizard fields: appellants, respondents,
property_address, permit_number (in addition to existing title, subject,
hearing_date, expected_outcome, notes).
- When case title changes, Paperclip project name is updated in background
via new update_project_name() in paperclip_client.py.
- Extended CaseUpdateRequest, case_update MCP tool, and caseUpdateSchema
to carry the new fields end-to-end.

Backend commit 26d09d6 introduced a multi-tenant axis (practice_area +
appeal_subtype) that the vanilla UI picked up but the new Next.js
rewrite did not. Close the gap in the screens we already shipped so
future search/filter work in Phase 5 has the right data on screen.
- lib/practice-area.ts — new: enum + label maps + deriveSubtype(),
mirrors mcp-server/src/legal_mcp/services/practice_area.py.
- lib/schemas/case.ts — two new z.enum fields on caseCreateSchema.
- lib/api/cases.ts — Case / CaseDetail gain practice_area and
appeal_subtype as optional (cached pre-migration responses still
parse cleanly).
- wizard/case-wizard.tsx — basics step gains a practice_area dropdown
(future domains disabled with "(בקרוב)") and an appeal_subtype
dropdown with auto-fill effect tracking a userTouchedSubtype ref,
same behaviour as wireSubtypeAutofill() in the vanilla UI.
- cases/case-header.tsx — gold badge next to the status shows
"ועדת ערר · רישוי ובנייה" when both fields are populated.
- cases/cases-table.tsx — new "תחום" column showing subtype label
(dash for unknown). No filter yet — that's phase 5 when a second
domain actually exists.

Narrow the regex to exactly the two hyphen-separated shapes Dafna
uses in practice (1033-25, 1000-04-26). Wider shapes like "1033-foo"
are rejected too — they didn't exist in any real case and would
quietly widen the surface area for routing bugs later.

The committee_type field in FastAPI's CaseCreateRequest is a leftover
with no meaningful UI. Appeals against a ועדה מקומית / ועדה מחוזית are
legally distinguishable by case-number range, not by a picked committee
label; appeals against a ועדת ערר decision go to בית משפט לעניינים
מנהליים and never enter this system at all. The backend retains its
"ועדה מקומית" default, which is what we'd send anyway.
Drop the Select from the wizard's basics step and the "ועדה" row from
the case detail header. The Case TS type keeps the optional field so
existing API responses still parse cleanly.

New /cases/new route with a 3-step wizard (basics / parties / details)
backed by react-hook-form + the caseCreateSchema. Each step validates
only its own fields so the user fixes errors in context. On success
useCreateCase invalidates the case list and the router pushes to the
freshly created case detail page.
PartiesField is a small chip-style editor for the appellants/respondents
arrays. The Home page now has a navy "+ תיק חדש" button that links to
the wizard.
Dropped .default() from the create schema — zod's input/output type
mismatch broke the RHF zodResolver generics; dropping the defaults is
simpler than plumbing z.input vs z.output through the mutation hook.
