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).

The metadata extractor occasionally stuffs the practice_area enum
(``betterment_levy``, ``rishuy_uvniya``, ``compensation_197``) into
the free-text ``appeal_subtype`` column. The edit sheet then showed the
raw English string in the "תת-סוג" input.
When initialising the form, run the value through ``appealSubtypeLabel``
which maps known practice-area enum values to their Hebrew label and
returns anything else unchanged. The user can then edit normally; on
save the Hebrew sticks, so the next view is also clean.
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.
