Chaim 3e14cd6798 feat: link related precedents across court instances (SCHEMA_V11)
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

"""Orchestrator for the External Precedent Library.
Ingest pipeline (one upload):
file → extract_text → proofread → INSERT case_law (source_kind='external_upload')
→ chunk → embed → store precedent_chunks
