Add SCHEMA_V21_SQL (searchable boolean column + index on case_law), wire it
into _run_schema_migrations, and implement _compute_searchable (pure predicate)
+ recompute_searchable (idempotent async backfill/update). All 5 unit tests pass.

Reported: an agent claimed the case had no documents because document_list
returned empty — but the documents exist. Root cause: get_case_by_number did
an exact `WHERE case_number = $1`, so any formatting variant of the number
silently failed to resolve. Verified on 8137-24 (9 docs): "8137/24",
"ערר 8137-24", leading/trailing space, and "בל\"מ 8126/03/25" all returned
"תיק לא נמצא", which the agent read as "no documents" and went blind.
Add _normalize_case_number (strip leading proceeding-type prefix to the first
digit, trim, unify '/'→'-') and a normalized fallback in the lookup query
(exact match preferred via ORDER BY). One fix covers every case_number-scoped
tool (document_list, extract_references, search_case_documents, get_claims,
drafting, ...). Bogus numbers still correctly resolve to "not found". (#58)

Root cause of "agent can't find the Agasi decision in the corpus" (CMPA-55):
the decision was fully ingested, but the retrieval layer failed on the
realistic agent query — searching by case name.
- RC-A (#52): lexical tsvector covered only chunk content + halacha text,
so a bare-name query ("אגסי") matched decisions that *cite* the case, not
the case itself. Add meta_tsv on case_law(case_name, case_number) (SCHEMA
V20) and OR it into the lexical halacha/chunk SQL with a match boost, so a
name/number hit surfaces the case's own rows. Agasi: rank 4 → rank 1.
- RC-B (#53): precedent_library_list hard-defaulted source_kind=external_upload
and never exposed the param, hiding uploaded ערר/בל"מ (internal_committee)
decisions. Thread source_kind through service → tool → MCP tool (supports
'internal_committee' / 'all_committees').
- #54: agent instructions (researcher/analyst/writer) — search-by-name
protocol: add content/case-number, search both corpora, use all_committees
before declaring "not in corpus".
- #55: chunker produced tiny fragment chunks ("דיון", "החלטה") from header
keywords matched mid-sentence. Anchor SECTION_PATTERNS to line start +
merge sub-min sections; exclude <50-char fragments at query time (484
existing fragments hidden; full re-chunk tracked as #57).
Tests: scripts/test_retrieval_by_name.py (name ranks case above citer +
substantive regressions); chunker unit checks (0 tiny chunks). New findings
filed as tasks #56 (halacha source_kind leak) and #57 (re-chunk migration).

Six-phase upgrade of /training from a read-only dashboard into a full
Style Studio for managing Daphna's style corpus.
- Upload Sheet on /training: file → proofread preview → commit (no more
CLI-only `upload-training` skill).
- Rich corpus metadata: GET /api/training/corpus returns summary, outcome,
key_principles, page_count, parties (regex), legal_citation, lessons_count.
PATCH endpoint for chair edits. CorpusDetailDrawer with 4 tabs (details
/content/lessons/patterns) replaces the bare table row.
- LLM metadata enrichment: style_metadata_extractor + MCP tools
(style_corpus_enrich, style_corpus_pending_enrichment) fill summary
/outcome/key_principles via claude_session (free, host-side).
- Per-decision lessons: new decision_lessons table + 4 REST endpoints +
LessonsTab in drawer; hermes-curator now auto-posts findings as
decision_lessons(source=curator).
- Curator Portrait tab: prompt rendered with link to Gitea, recent
curator findings, style_analyzer training prompts, propose-change
form that writes proposals to data/curator-proposals/ for manual
chair review (no auto-mutation of the agent file).
- Style chat tab: SSE-streamed conversations with the style agent.
New host-side pm2 service (legal-chat-service, port 8770) wraps
claude CLI with stream-json + --resume continuation; FastAPI proxies
via host.docker.internal. Zero API cost — uses chaim's claude.ai
subscription. chat_conversations + chat_messages persist history.
Architecture: keeps the existing rule that claude_session only runs
on the host (not the container). The new legal-chat-service is the
canonical bridge between the container and the local CLI for the chat
feature; everything else (upload, metadata, lessons) stays within the
container's existing capabilities.
Audit script (scripts/audit_training_corpus.py) included for verifying
which corpus rows still need enrichment.

Until now, "case_number" was the only stored identifier for a precedent.
But a *citation per the Israeli unified citation rules* is a different
beast — it has bold parties, an unbold prefix (court abbrev + panel/
district parenthetical + case number), and an unbold trailing reporter
(נבו / פ"ד...). Without storing it as a first-class field we couldn't
hand the chair a one-click "copy as citation" experience for pasting
into decisions.
Changes:
- Schema V19: case_law.citation_formatted TEXT (Markdown — parties
wrapped in **…** so the copy helper can render <strong> for Word/Docs
paste and keep plain-text fallback meaningful).
- Metadata extractor: composes citation_formatted from the document
text per the unified citation rules, with worked examples for ע"א /
עת"מ / ערר / בל"מ in the prompt. Refuses to store half-formed strings.
- PATCH /api/precedent-library/{id} accepts citation_formatted so the
chair can correct LLM mistakes.
- /precedents/[id]: dedicated "מראה מקום" block with bold rendering,
a copy-to-clipboard button (text/html + text/plain so Word keeps
the bolds), and an inline edit textarea.
- /precedents list rows: link displays the formatted citation when
available, with a small inline copy button — falls back to the bare
case_number for older rows.
Backfill of existing rows happens by re-stamping the extraction queue
once V19 has rolled out and the new field is reachable.

## #34 — Daphna's internal citation graph
New schema V16 (V15 was already used by proceeding_type): table
``precedent_internal_citations`` (source→cited, with cited_case_law_id
nullable for citations whose target isn't in the corpus yet) + 3
indexes (source, target, unlinked).
New service ``citation_extractor.py`` with regex patterns for ערר /
בל"מ / עע"מ / בר"מ / עמ"נ / ע"א / בג"ץ / רע"א — accepts both ``\/``
and ``-`` separators, requires actual parenthesized district label
to avoid greedy mid-paragraph captures. Resolves citations against
``case_law.case_number`` substring; default confidence 0.90 linked,
0.75 unlinked. ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING on (source, cited_case_number).
3 new MCP tools: ``extract_internal_citations``,
``list_internal_citations``, ``list_incoming_citations``. Optional
flag ``include_cited_by=True`` on ``search_internal_decisions``
appends cited-by candidates as ``match_type='cited_by'`` stubs.
Bulk-extracted from 40 internal_committee rows authored by דפנה תמיר:
**353 distinct citations, 348 stored, 96 linked / 252 unlinked**.
Top citers: 1079/24 (30), 1024/24 (19), 1009/25 (18). Top unlinked
target: ע"א 3213/97 (cited 5x) — natural #35 candidates.
## #32 — Wide-modal precedent edit
`precedent-edit-sheet.tsx`: ``<Sheet side="left">`` → centered
``<Dialog>`` with ``sm:max-w-4xl`` ``max-h-[90vh]`` ``overflow-y-auto``.
Component API unchanged so existing callers
(`/precedents/[id]/page.tsx`, `library-list-panel.tsx`) work as-is.
RTL preserved. Mobile falls back to near-full-width via shadcn default.
## #13 — 403/17 verification
`case_law e151fc25-...` (אהרון ברק - תכנית רחביה) already in perfect
shape after Stage A work: all metadata fields populated, 351 halachot
with avg_conf=0.864 (well above 0.78 threshold). No re-extraction
needed; closing task as verified.

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).

Five enhancements to the precedent retrieval stack:
* **#44 HNSW indexes** for precedent_chunks + halachot (replacing IVFFlat
lists=50). Build time ~3s combined. Better recall@10 with pgvector 0.8.2.
* **#45 Halacha sweep** — 96 pending halachot at conf>=0.78 promoted to
approved (1141 → 1237). Cluster at conf=0.78 spot-checked OK. Applied
via psql only — env HALACHA_AUTO_APPROVE_THRESHOLD unchanged (0.80).
* **#43 MMR diversity** — search_precedent_library_hybrid now caps at
``max_per_case_law=2`` (default). Prevents one precedent dominating
top-10 when many of its chunks/halachot rank high. New helper
``_diversify_by_case_law`` in hybrid_search.py.
* **#46 Dynamic halacha boost** — replaces the static ``score+=0.05``
with ``score+=confidence*0.06``. Calibrated so avg-confidence (~0.85)
stays at +0.05; high-conf halachot get a slight extra lift, low-conf
ones get less. Behaviour preserved at the mean.
* **#41 BM25/tsvector hybrid + RRF**. Schema V12 adds STORED tsvector
columns ``precedent_chunks.content_tsv`` and ``halachot.rule_tsv``
(using simple config — Postgres has no Hebrew stemmer) + GIN indexes.
New ``db.search_precedent_library_lexical`` mirrors the semantic
function with ts_rank_cd over plainto_tsquery. ``hybrid_search``
runs sem+lex in parallel and fuses via RRF before rerank. Toggle:
env ``BM25_HYBRID_ENABLED`` (default true), graceful fallback to
semantic-only on lexical failure.
#40 (VOYAGE_RERANK_ENABLED) was already true in Coolify env; no change.
#42 (Claude Haiku query expansion) deferred — latency + cost concerns
warrant a separate plan; the bm25 lexical leg already recovers most of
the exact-string recall #42 was meant to address.
Closes TaskMaster #41, #43-#46.

Fields existed in DB and Precedent type but were missing from:
- PrecedentUpdateRequest (backend model)

- DB: add 'all_committees' virtual source_kind covering internal_committee
+ external_upload appeals_committee rows in one query
- DB: stats now count all case_law rows (not just external_upload),
fixing the precedents_total that excluded 44 internal-committee records
- UI: courts table filters to source_type=court_ruling only;
committees table uses the new all_committees query
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add ability to mark case_law records as related (e.g. same appeal
through ועדת ערר → מנהלי → עליון):
- DB: case_law_relations join table (bidirectional, V11 migration)
- DB CRUD: add/remove/get_case_law_relations
- Service: get_precedent() now returns related_cases[]
- MCP: precedent_link_cases + precedent_unlink_cases tools
- REST: POST/DELETE /api/precedent-library/{id}/relations
- UI: RelatedCasesSection on detail page with search dialog and unlink

Earlier commit afcc481 opened request_metadata_extraction and
request_halacha_extraction to all source kinds — but
list_pending_extraction_requests still hard-filtered to external_upload.
Result: stamping a queue request on an internal_committee row succeeded
silently, but the worker (and the queue badge) never saw it. Even with
the auto-wakeup added in c7132ba the CEO would wake, find 0 pending
items, and exit.
Drop the legacy filter so the queue listing matches the writer side.
Coolify deploy required for the FastAPI container to pick this up.
The "חלץ מטא-דאטה" / "חלץ הלכות" buttons in the UI were returning 404
for any precedent with `source_kind != 'external_upload'`. The original
restriction was meant to keep LLM extraction off internal-committee
imports (their metadata supposedly came from the case file system),
but the same precedent rows can still need re-extraction when ingest
produces broken data — e.g. the corrupted `subject_tags` value
`['[','"','ה','י',...]` that motivated this change (an early ingest
stored a JSON literal into a TEXT[] column, which Postgres split into
single chars).
Two changes here:
1. db.request_metadata_extraction / request_halacha_extraction:
drop the `AND source_kind='external_upload'` filter. The extractor
already preserves user values (only fills empty fields), so this
is safe.
2. precedent_metadata_extractor.extract_and_apply: detect the
character-by-character corruption above and treat it as empty so
the freshly-extracted tags actually replace the broken ones.
Heuristic: 3+ elements where every element is at most 2 chars
(legitimate tags are multi-character Hebrew words).
Coolify deploy required for the FastAPI container to pick this up.
Three-layer separation: style learning (style_corpus), appeals-committee decisions
(internal_committee), and court rulings (external_upload).
- SCHEMA_V10: chair_name + district columns on case_law and cases, partial indexes
- create_internal_committee_decision() DB upsert function
- search_precedent_library_semantic() now accepts source_kind/district/chair_name params
- search_precedent_library_hybrid() passes through new params
- services/internal_decisions.py: ingest_internal_decision, migrate_from_style_corpus,
migrate_from_external_corpus (identifies rows via source_type='appeals_committee')
- search_internal_decisions() MCP tool (server.py + tools/search.py)
- internal_decision_migrate() MCP admin tool
- Web endpoints: POST /api/internal-decisions/upload, POST /api/internal-decisions/migrate,
GET /api/internal-decisions
- ingest_final_version auto-ingests finalized decisions into internal corpus
- SKILL.md updated: agents now search internal + external in parallel, present separately

When Paperclip wakes the CEO and the model issues an mcp__legal-ai__*
call within ~10s of session init, Claude Code sometimes returns
"No such tool available" because the legal-ai MCP server hasn't
finished bringing up its tool catalog yet. Observed twice today on
CMPA precedent-extraction wakeups (sessions 9989fbaf and a9c61801);
the agent fell back to bash + .venv/bin/python and finished the work,
but the race needed fixing on the server side.
Three changes that close the window:
1. Lazy schema init (services/db.py + server.py)
`init_schema()` was awaited inside the FastMCP lifespan, blocking
the `initialize`/`tools/list` handshake until ~10 CREATE TABLE IF
NOT EXISTS statements ran. Under contention (two CEOs waking at
once for different companies) this stretched. Now the lifespan
returns immediately and `get_pool()` runs the schema migrations
exactly once on first DB access, guarded by an asyncio.Lock.
tools/list is answered in milliseconds regardless of DB state.
2. Lazy heavy imports
- services/embeddings.py: voyageai (~450ms) loaded only inside
_get_client()
- services/extractor.py: google.cloud.vision (~550ms) loaded only
inside _get_vision_client() and _ocr_with_google_vision()
These two were being imported at module top from
legal_mcp.tools.documents -> services.processor -> services.{
extractor,embeddings}, so the FastMCP server couldn't even start
responding until both finished. Cold start dropped from 2.7s to
1.17s end-to-end (init + tools/list response).
3. Agent-side warmup + retry guidance (.claude/agents/legal-ceo.md)
Even with a fast server, the model can still race on the very
first call. The precedent-extraction section now tells the CEO
to call workflow_status as a warmup probe and to retry after a
short sleep if it sees "No such tool available", before falling
back to the python bypass.
Also expanded the precedent-tool whitelists on the sub-agents that
delegate halacha/library work (commits 4a9a6b7 + 7ee90dc added the
tools to the MCP server but only the CEO got them in its allowed
list). Added to: legal-researcher (full extraction set), legal-analyst
(library_get/list + halacha review), legal-writer (library lookups +
halacha_review), legal-qa (library_get + halacha_review), and the two
that the CEO was already missing (halacha_review, halachot_pending).

Stage C: per-page image embeddings via voyage-multimodal-3 + hybrid
text+image search. Off by default; enable with MULTIMODAL_ENABLED=true.
- Schema V9: document_image_embeddings + precedent_image_embeddings
(vector(1024), page_number, image_thumbnail_path)
- extractor.render_pages_for_multimodal renders PDF pages at
MULTIMODAL_DPI (144) for embedding + JPEG thumbnails at
MULTIMODAL_THUMB_DPI (96) for UI preview, in one pass
- embeddings.embed_images calls voyage-multimodal-3 in 50-page batches
- services/hybrid_search.py orchestrator: rerank applied to text side
first (rerank-2 is text-only); image side cosine; weighted merge
with text_weight 0.65 (env-tunable); image-only pages surface as
match_type='image' so dense scanned content still appears
- processor.process_document and precedent_library.ingest_precedent
gated by flag — non-fatal on multimodal failure
- scripts/multimodal_backfill.py — idempotent per-case CLI to embed
existing documents without re-extracting text
Validated locally on a 5-page response brief: render 0.31s, embed 8.32s,
hybrid merge surfaces image rows correctly. Production rollout starts
with flag=false (no behavior change), then per-case A/B.

PATCH /api/halachot/{id} was returning 500 because the row included
``embedding`` as a numpy.ndarray of np.float32, which FastAPI's
jsonable_encoder cannot serialize (vars() and dict() both fail on it).
The bug had been latent — it triggered for the first time today after
the auto-approve batch left only low-confidence halachot for the chair
to review manually, and her first PATCH hit the unserializable response.
Replace ``RETURNING *`` with an explicit column list (everything except
``embedding``). Callers that need the embedding can re-fetch via
``get_halacha`` — but no current caller does.

Halachot extracted by halacha_extractor with confidence >= 0.80 are now
inserted with review_status='approved' instead of 'pending_review' —
they appear in search_precedent_library immediately. Halachot below the
threshold still require manual chair approval.
Threshold tunable via env (HALACHA_AUTO_APPROVE_THRESHOLD), defaults to
0.80. Rationale: 89% of historical extractions (356/400) score 0.80+,
spot-checks confirmed quality, and the manual review backlog was the
single biggest reason rerank-2 was returning passages-only on
ההבחנה-style queries.
After this change + the one-time backfill UPDATE, search now returns
9/10 halachot for "ההבחנה בין השבחה לפיצויים" instead of 0 — and the
top-3 are exact-match rules, not adjacent passages.
Reviewer field records "auto-approved (confidence ≥ X.XX)" with the
threshold value at insert time, for traceability.

set_case_law_extraction_status and set_case_law_halacha_status now NULL
the corresponding *_requested_at timestamp when status transitions to
"completed" or "failed". Without this, completed rows kept lingering in
the local-MCP work queue (which scans by `WHERE *_requested_at IS NOT NULL`)
and the UI's isPrecedentActive check, leaving them undeletable until a
manual SQL cleanup.
The pre-existing process_pending_extractions path already called
clear_extraction_request, but other paths (re-extraction, status set
during upload) didn't — so the cleanup belongs at the status setter.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The chair pointed out three UX gaps after uploading a new precedent:
1. The status said "מחלץ הלכות" but nothing was actually running — the
field only meant "halacha_extraction_status != completed", which
includes the post-upload "pending" state where the local MCP worker
hasn't been told to drain anything yet. Misleading.
2. The page didn't refresh on its own. The chair had to F5 to see new
counts after extraction completed.
3. Clicking the trash icon mid-extraction would cascade-delete the row
while the extractor was still using it (FK errors, partial writes).
Fixes:
- ingest_precedent now auto-queues both metadata and halacha extraction
on upload by stamping the request timestamps. The chair (or me) drains
the queue with one `precedent_process_pending` call from chat —
no need to click any button before that.
- StatusPill is now five-state with proper labels:
"נכשל" (extraction_status=failed) — red
"מעבד טקסט" — shimmer (extraction_status=processing)
"בתור" — neutral (chunks queued, not yet running)
"מחלץ הלכות" — shimmer (halacha_extraction_status=processing)
"ממתין לחילוץ" — neutral (queued for local MCP worker)
"לא חולץ" — neutral (pending without queue stamp — shouldn't happen)
"X/Y מאושרות" — gold (done, with halachot count)
The shimmer is a CSS-only sliding-stripe animation defined in globals.
- usePrecedents has a conditional refetchInterval — polls every 5s while
any row is mid-extraction or queued, then stops once everything settles
to completed/failed. New helper isPrecedentActive() centralises the
"is this row mid-something" check so the UI and the destructive-action
guard agree.
- Trash button is disabled (opacity 30%, tooltip explains) while the row
is active. Pencil/edit stays enabled — editing metadata fields during
extraction is safe (last write wins, low-stakes race).
Schema: list_external_case_law now exposes the two *_requested_at
timestamps so the UI can distinguish "queued" from "never asked".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The chair wanted a one-click "extract metadata" button on the edit sheet.
The constraint stays the same — claude_session needs the local CLI which
the container doesn't have, so the button can't run the extractor itself.
Compromise: button stamps a queue marker; the local MCP server drains the
queue on demand.
DB (V8): two nullable timestamps on case_law,
metadata_extraction_requested_at and halacha_extraction_requested_at,
with partial indexes for cheap "find pending" scans.
API:
POST /api/precedent-library/{id}/request-metadata → stamp the row
POST /api/precedent-library/{id}/request-halachot → same for halacha
GET /api/precedent-library/queue/pending?kind=... → read-only view
UI: Sparkles button in the edit sheet header. Click → toast tells the
chair what to run from Claude Code. The button never triggers the
extractor directly from the container.
MCP tool: precedent_process_pending(kind, limit) — runs from Claude Code
with the local CLI, picks up everything stamped, calls the extractor for
each, clears the timestamp on success. Failures keep the timestamp so the
next invocation retries them.
Architectural rule (claude_session local-only) is preserved end-to-end
and called out in the new endpoint comment + tool docstring.

Adds a third corpus of legal authority distinct from style_corpus
(Daphna's prior decisions for voice) and case_precedents (chair-attached
quotes per case). The new corpus holds chair-uploaded court rulings and
other appeals committee decisions, with binding rules (הלכות) extracted
automatically and queued for chair approval.
Pipeline (web/app.py + services/precedent_library.py):
file → extract → chunk → Voyage embed → halacha_extractor → store +
publish progress over the existing Redis SSE channel.
Schema V7 (services/db.py): extends case_law with source_kind +
extraction status fields under a CHECK constraint pinning practice_area
to the three appeals committee domains (rishuy_uvniya, betterment_levy,
compensation_197). New precedent_chunks (vector(1024)) and halachot
tables (vector(1024) over rule_statement, IVFFlat indexes, gin on
practice_areas/subject_tags). Halachot start as pending_review; only
approved/published rows are visible to search_precedent_library.
Agents: legal-writer, legal-researcher, legal-analyst, legal-ceo,
legal-qa get search_precedent_library. legal-writer prompt explains
the three-corpus distinction and CREAC use; legal-qa now verifies that
every cited halacha resolves to an approved row in the corpus.
UI: /precedents page with four tabs — library / semantic search /
pending review (J/K nav, A/R/E shortcuts, badge count) / stats.
Reuses the existing upload-sheet progress + SSE pattern.

The case_delete tool in tools/cases.py and the DELETE /api/cases endpoint
in web/app.py both invoke await db.delete_case(case_id), but no such
function existed in services/db.py — every call returned 500 with an
AttributeError. Discovered while wiping case 8174-24 for a clean rerun.
Implementation is straightforward because the FK graph already does the
work: 7 dependent tables CASCADE on cases.id (documents, document_chunks,
claims, appraiser_facts, decisions, qa_results, case_precedents) and 2
SET NULL (audit_log, chair_feedback). A single DELETE FROM cases is
enough — no manual ordering needed.
Documented in the docstring that this only touches the legal-ai DB —
Paperclip projects/issues and Gitea repos for the case are separate
systems and must be cleaned up by the caller.

Adds a comprehensive archive flow for closed cases — separate /archive
screen in the UI, archive/restore actions on the case detail page, and
automatic two-way sync with Paperclip.
Backend (web/app.py + mcp-server/services/db.py):
- New SCHEMA_V6 migration: cases.archived_at TIMESTAMPTZ + partial index
- list_cases gains include_archived/archived_only flags; default excludes
archived rows so the main /api/cases list hides closed cases
- archive_case / restore_case helpers in db.py
- POST /api/cases/{n}/archive sets archived_at and calls
pc_archive_project (sets Paperclip projects.archived_at via direct DB)
- POST /api/cases/{n}/restore clears archived_at and calls
pc_restore_project (clears Paperclip archived_at)
- archive_project / restore_project in paperclip_client.py — name-based
match consistent with create_project's lookup
Frontend (web-ui):
- cases.ts: scope param ("active"|"archived"|"all") on useCases;
useArchiveCase / useRestoreCase mutations
- /archive page (new): table of archived cases with restore button +
search, sort, empty state matching the editorial aesthetic of /
- case-archive-action.tsx: button on case detail header. Active case →
confirm dialog → archive. Archived case → restore (no confirm).
Toast announces both legal-ai and Paperclip outcomes (synced, not
found in pc, error)
- case-header shows "בארכיון" badge when archived_at is set
- Nav: ארכיון link added to AppShell after בית
Tested end-to-end against the live DB:
- 1130-25 archive → list_cases(include_archived=False) excludes it,
list_cases(archived_only=True) includes it, restore reverses
- pc archive/restore on 1194-25 verified via direct DB lookup
- TypeScript compiles clean

Until now changing a document's doc_type required a manual SQL update.
Adds an inline editor on the document badge so the chair can retag
without leaving the case page, and threads an appraiser_side tag
(committee / appellant / deciding) through the appraisal pipeline so
betterment-levy cases — which usually have 2-3 appraisers — render
conflicts with the deciding appraiser's view marked as governing.
Backend
- New appraiser_facts.appraiser_side column (V5.1) populated from
documents.metadata.appraiser_side at extraction time.
- extract_appraiser_facts now returns status='sides_missing' with the
list of untagged appraisals instead of running with empty side
labels — chair must tag every appraisal first via the UI.
- Conflict detection orders entries committee → appellant → deciding so
the deciding appraiser appears last; block-tet's prompt instructs the
writer to phrase the deciding appraiser's view as the governing
factual finding ("ואולם, השמאי המכריע קבע...").
- New PATCH /api/cases/{n}/documents/{doc_id} (Pydantic model with
whitelist validation) and matching document_update MCP tool. Both
merge appraiser_side into metadata JSONB instead of touching the
schema.
UI
- New shared doc-types module exports the canonical 11 doc_type
options plus the 3 appraiser-side options; both upload-sheet and
the document badge now read from it instead of duplicating Hebrew
labels.
- New DocumentTypeEditor renders a Popover off the doc-type Badge
with two Selects. The save button stays disabled while doc_type is
appraisal but no side has been picked, mirroring the backend
enforcement so the user finds out before triggering extraction.
- usePatchDocument React-Query mutation invalidates the case detail
on success so the badge updates without a manual refresh.
Lets the chair generate a partial decision DOCX before the discussion-and-
ruling block is decided. Same template, skill and DOCX styling as the final
decision (David, RTL, bookmarks) — only the block selection and order differ:
רקע (ו) → תכניות+היתרים (ט) → טענות (ז) → הליכים (ח). The opening (ה),
ruling (י), summary (יא), and signatures (יב) are omitted.
- New appraiser_facts table + CRUD + conflict detection in db.py (V5 schema).
Conflict = same plan/permit identifier reported differently by 2+ appraisers.
- New appraiser_facts_extractor service: per-appraisal Claude extraction of
plans + permits with raw quotes and page numbers.
- block-tet prompt extended with a permits sub-section sourced from the
extracted facts, plus an explicit instruction to flag inter-appraiser
conflicts in neutral wording without resolving them (deferred to block-yod).
- block-chet prompt extended with a post-hearing materials context sourced
from documents.metadata.is_post_hearing.
- docx_exporter.export_decision now accepts mode='interim' which reorders
the blocks per the chair's mental model and writes
טיוטת-ביניים-v{N}.docx (versioned independently of regular drafts).
- 3 new MCP tools: extract_appraiser_facts, write_interim_draft,
export_interim_draft. write_interim_draft auto-runs extraction if the
appraiser_facts table is empty for the case.
Fixes critical bug in 1033-25: user-uploaded עריכה-*.docx files were
orphaned on disk while exports kept rebuilding from stale DB blocks.
New architecture:
- User-uploaded DOCX becomes the source of truth (cases.active_draft_path)
- System edits via XML surgery with real Word <w:ins>/<w:del> revisions
- User can Accept/Reject each change from within Word
Components:
- docx_reviser.py: XML surgery for Track Changes (15 tests)
- docx_retrofit.py: retroactive bookmark injection with Hebrew marker
detection + heading heuristic (9 tests)
- docx_exporter.py: emits bookmarks around each of the 12 blocks
- 3 new MCP tools: apply_user_edit, list_bookmarks, revise_draft
- 4 new/updated endpoints: upload (auto-registers active draft),
/exports/revise, /exports/bookmarks, /exports/{filename}/retrofit,
/active-draft
- DB migration: cases.active_draft_path column
- UI: correct banner using real v-numbers, "מקור האמת" badge,
detailed upload toast with bookmarks_added/missing_blocks
- agents: legal-exporter (3 export modes), legal-ceo (stage G for
revision handling), legal-writer (revision mode)
Multi-tenancy:
- Works for both CMP (1xxx cases) and CMPA (8xxx/9xxx cases)
- New revise-draft skill added to both companies
- deploy-track-changes.sh syncs skills CMP ↔ CMPA
- retrofit_case.py: one-off retrofit of existing files
Tests: 34 passing (15 reviser + 9 retrofit + 4 exporter bookmarks + 6 e2e)

When a case is created, a Paperclip project is now automatically created in
the correct company based on the appeal_subtype tag. Tag-to-company mappings
are managed via a new Settings page that pulls companies from Paperclip DB.

The merge of ui-rewrite removed these parameters from db.search_similar()
and db.create_case() but left the callers passing them, causing TypeError
on any corpus search. Restores the parameters and adds schema migration.

Four functions were called by tools/precedents.py but never implemented
in services/db.py: create_case_precedent, list_case_precedents,
delete_case_precedent, search_precedent_library. This caused 500 errors
on the /api/cases/{n}/precedents endpoint.

Addresses Dafna's observation that licensing decisions lack comprehensive
planning discussion. Systematic corpus analysis of all 24 training decisions
revealed the system learned writing style but not substantive content.
Changes:
- Corpus analysis of all 24 decisions (docs/corpus-analysis.md)
- 5 content checklists by appeal subtype injected into block-yod prompt
- chair_feedback DB table + API endpoints + MCP tools
- Feedback management page in Next.js UI (/feedback)
- Navigation updated with "הערות יו״ר" link
