feat: time tracking + billing — hourly rates, time entries, invoices (P1)

Database: time_entries, billing_rates, invoices tables with RLS.
Backend: CRUD services+handlers for time entries, billing rates, invoices.
  - Time entries: list/create/update/delete, summary by case/user/month
  - Billing rates: upsert with auto-close previous, current rate lookup
  - Invoices: create with auto-number (RE-YYYY-NNN), status transitions
    (draft->sent->paid, cancellation), link time entries on invoice create
API: 11 new endpoints under /api/time-entries, /api/billing-rates, /api/invoices
Frontend: Zeiterfassung tab on case detail, /abrechnung overview with filters,
  /abrechnung/rechnungen list+detail with status actions, billing rates settings
Also: resolved merge conflicts between audit-trail and role-based branches,
  added missing types (Notification, AuditLogResponse, NotificationPreferences)

+# KanzlAI-mGMT MVP Audit
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-28
+**Auditor:** athena (consultant)
+**Scope:** Full-stack audit of KanzlAI-mGMT — Go backend, Next.js frontend, Supabase database, deployment, security, UX, competitive positioning.
+**Codebase:** ~16,500 lines across ~60 source files, built 2026-03-25 in a single session with parallel workers.
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+KanzlAI-mGMT is an impressive MVP built in ~2 hours. It covers the core Kanzleimanagement primitives: cases, deadlines, appointments, parties, documents, notes, dashboard, CalDAV sync, and AI-powered deadline extraction. The architecture is sound — clean separation between Go API and Next.js frontend, proper multi-tenant design with Supabase Auth, parameterized SQL throughout.
+
+However, the speed of construction shows. There are **critical security gaps** that must be fixed before any external user touches this. The frontend has good bones but lacks the polish and completeness a lawyer would expect. And the feature gap vs. established competitors (RA-MICRO, ADVOWARE, AnNoText, Actaport) is enormous — particularly around beA integration, billing/RVG, and document generation, which are table-stakes for German law firms.
+
+**Bottom line:** Fix the security issues, add error recovery and multi-tenant auth verification, then decide whether to pursue the Kanzleimanagement market (massive feature gap) or pivot back to the UPC niche (where you had a genuine competitive advantage).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Critical Issues (Fix Immediately)
+
+### 1.1 Tenant Isolation Bypass in TenantResolver
+**File:** `backend/internal/auth/tenant_resolver.go:37-42`
+
+When the `X-Tenant-ID` header is provided, the TenantResolver parses it and sets it in context **without verifying the user has access to that tenant**. Any authenticated user can access any tenant's data by setting this header.
+
+```go
+if header := r.Header.Get("X-Tenant-ID"); header != "" {
+    parsed, err := uuid.Parse(header)
+    // ... sets tenantID = parsed — NO ACCESS CHECK
+}
+```
+
+Compare with `helpers.go:32-44` where `resolveTenant()` correctly verifies access via `user_tenants` — but this function is unused in the middleware path. The TenantResolver middleware is what actually runs for all scoped routes.
+
+**Impact:** Complete tenant data isolation breach. User A can read/modify/delete User B's cases, deadlines, appointments, documents.
+
+**Fix:** Add `user_tenants` lookup in TenantResolver when X-Tenant-ID is provided, same as `resolveTenant()` does.
+
+### 1.2 Duplicate Tenant Resolution Logic
+**Files:** `backend/internal/auth/tenant_resolver.go` and `backend/internal/handlers/helpers.go:25-57`
+
+Two independent implementations of tenant resolution exist. The middleware (`TenantResolver`) is used for the scoped routes. The handler-level `resolveTenant()` function exists in helpers.go. The auth middleware in `middleware.go:39-47` also resolves a tenant into context. This triple-resolution creates confusion and the security bug above.
+
+**Fix:** Consolidate to a single path. Remove the handler-level `resolveTenant()` and the auth middleware's tenant resolution. Let TenantResolver be the single source of truth, but make it verify access.
+
+### 1.3 CalDAV Credentials Stored in Plaintext
+**File:** `backend/internal/services/caldav_service.go:29-35`
+
+CalDAV username and password are stored as plain JSON in the `tenants.settings` column:
+```go
+type CalDAVConfig struct {
+    URL      string `json:"url"`
+    Username string `json:"username"`
+    Password string `json:"password"`
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+Combined with the tenant isolation bypass above, any authenticated user can read any tenant's CalDAV credentials.
+
+**Fix:** Encrypt CalDAV credentials at rest (e.g., using `pgcrypto` or application-level encryption). At minimum, never return the password in API responses.
+
+### 1.4 No CORS Configuration
+**File:** `backend/internal/router/router.go`, `backend/cmd/server/main.go`
+
+There is zero CORS handling anywhere in the backend. The frontend uses Next.js rewrites to proxy `/api/` to the backend, which works in production. But:
+- If anyone accesses the backend directly (different origin), there's no CORS protection.
+- No `X-Frame-Options`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, or other security headers are set.
+
+**Fix:** Add CORS middleware restricting to the frontend origin. Add standard security headers.
+
+### 1.5 Internal Error Messages Leaked to Clients
+**Files:** Multiple handlers (e.g., `cases.go:44`, `cases.go:73`, `appointments.go`)
+
+```go
+writeError(w, http.StatusInternalServerError, err.Error())
+```
+
+Internal error messages (including SQL errors, connection errors, etc.) are sent directly to the client. This leaks implementation details.
+
+**Fix:** Log the full error server-side, return a generic message to the client.
+
+### 1.6 Race Condition in HolidayService Cache
+**File:** `backend/internal/services/holidays.go`
+
+The `HolidayService` uses a `map[int][]Holiday` cache without any mutex protection. Concurrent requests (e.g., multiple deadline calculations) will cause a data race. The Go race detector would flag this.
+
+**Fix:** Add `sync.RWMutex` to HolidayService.
+
+### 1.7 Rate Limiter Trivially Bypassable
+**File:** `backend/internal/middleware/ratelimit.go:78-79`
+
+```go
+ip := r.Header.Get("X-Forwarded-For")
+if ip == "" { ip = r.RemoteAddr }
+```
+
+Rate limiting keys off `X-Forwarded-For`, which any client can spoof. An attacker can bypass AI endpoint rate limits by rotating this header.
+
+**Fix:** Only trust `X-Forwarded-For` from configured reverse proxy IPs, or use `r.RemoteAddr` exclusively behind a trusted proxy.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Important Gaps (Fix Before Showing to Anyone)
+
+### 2.1 No Input Validation Beyond "Required Fields"
+**Files:** All handlers
+
+Input validation is minimal — typically just checking if required fields are empty:
+```go
+if input.CaseNumber == "" || input.Title == "" {
+    writeError(w, http.StatusBadRequest, "case_number and title are required")
+}
+```
+
+Missing:
+- Length limits on text fields (could store megabytes in a title field)
+- Status value validation (accepts any string for status fields)
+- Date format validation
+- Case type validation against allowed values
+- SQL-safe string validation (although parameterized queries protect against injection)
+
+### 2.2 No Pagination Defaults on Most List Endpoints
+**File:** `backend/internal/services/case_service.go:57-63`
+
+`CaseService.List` has sane defaults (limit=20, max=100). But other list endpoints (`appointments`, `deadlines`, `notes`, `parties`, `case_events`) have no pagination at all — they return all records for a tenant/case. As data grows, these become performance problems.
+
+### 2.3 Dashboard Page is Entirely Client-Side
+**File:** `frontend/src/app/(app)/dashboard/page.tsx`
+
+The entire dashboard is a `"use client"` component that fetches data via API. This means:
+- No SSR benefit — the page is blank until JS loads and API responds
+- SEO doesn't matter for a SaaS app, but initial load time does
+- The skeleton is nice but adds 200-400ms of perceived latency
+
+For an internal tool this is acceptable, but for a commercial product it should use server components for the initial render.
+
+### 2.4 Frontend Auth Uses `getSession()` Instead of `getUser()`
+**File:** `frontend/src/lib/api.ts:10-12`
+
+```typescript
+const { data: { session } } = await supabase.auth.getSession();
+```
+
+`getSession()` reads from local storage without server verification. If a session is expired or revoked server-side, the frontend will still try to use it until the backend rejects it. The middleware correctly uses `getUser()` (which validates server-side), but the API client does not.
+
+### 2.5 Missing Error Recovery in Frontend
+Throughout the frontend, API errors are handled with basic error states, but there's no:
+- Retry logic for transient failures
+- Token refresh on 401 responses
+- Optimistic UI rollback on mutation failures
+- Offline detection
+
+### 2.6 Missing `Content-Disposition` Header Sanitization
+**File:** `backend/internal/handlers/documents.go:133`
+
+```go
+w.Header().Set("Content-Disposition", fmt.Sprintf(`attachment; filename="%s"`, title))
+```
+
+The `title` (which comes from user input) is inserted directly into the header. A filename containing `"` or newlines could be used for response header injection.
+
+**Fix:** Sanitize the filename — strip or encode special characters.
+
+### 2.7 No Graceful Shutdown
+**File:** `backend/cmd/server/main.go:42`
+
+```go
+http.ListenAndServe(":"+cfg.Port, handler)
+```
+
+No signal handling or graceful shutdown. When the process receives SIGTERM (e.g., during deployment), in-flight requests are dropped, CalDAV sync operations may be interrupted mid-write, and database connections are not cleanly closed.
+
+### 2.8 Database Connection Pool — search_path is Session-Level
+**File:** `backend/internal/db/connection.go:17`
+
+```go
+db.Exec("SET search_path TO kanzlai, public")
+```
+
+`SET search_path` is session-level in PostgreSQL. With connection pooling (`MaxOpenConns: 25`), this SET runs once on the initial connection. If a connection is recycled or a new one opened from the pool, it may not have the kanzlai search_path. This could cause queries to silently hit the wrong schema.
+
+**Fix:** Use `SET LOCAL search_path` in a transaction, or set it at the database/role level, or qualify all table references with the schema name.
+
+### 2.9 go.sum Missing from Dockerfile
+**File:** `backend/Dockerfile:4`
+
+```dockerfile
+COPY go.mod ./
+RUN go mod download
+```
+
+Only `go.mod` is copied, not `go.sum`. This means the build isn't reproducible and doesn't verify checksums. Should be `COPY go.mod go.sum ./`.
+
+### 2.10 German Umlaut Typos Throughout Frontend
+**Files:** Multiple frontend components
+
+German strings use ASCII approximations instead of proper characters:
+- `login/page.tsx`: "Zurueck" instead of "Zurück"
+- `cases/[id]/layout.tsx`: "Anhaengig" instead of "Anhängig"
+- `cases/[id]/fristen/page.tsx`: "Ueberfaellig" instead of "Überfällig"
+- `termine/page.tsx`: "Uberblick" instead of "Überblick"
+
+A German lawyer would notice this immediately. It signals "this was built by a machine, not tested by a human."
+
+### 2.11 Silent Error Swallowing in Event Creation
+**File:** `backend/internal/services/case_service.go:260-266`
+
+```go
+func createEvent(ctx context.Context, db *sqlx.DB, ...) {
+    db.ExecContext(ctx, /* ... */)  // Error completely ignored
+}
+```
+
+Case events (audit trail) silently fail to create. The calling functions don't check the return. This means you could have cases with no events and no way to know why.
+
+### 2.12 Missing Error Boundaries in Frontend
+No React error boundaries are implemented. If any component throws, the entire page crashes with a white screen. For a law firm tool where data integrity matters, this is unacceptable.
+
+### 2.13 No RLS Policies Defined at Database Level
+Multi-tenant isolation relies entirely on `WHERE tenant_id = $X` clauses in Go code. If any query forgets this clause, data leaks across tenants. There are no PostgreSQL RLS policies as a safety net.
+
+**Fix:** Enable RLS on all tenant-scoped tables and create policies tied to `auth.uid()` via `user_tenants`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Architecture Assessment
+
+### 3.1 What's Good
+
+- **Clean monorepo structure** — `backend/` and `frontend/` are clearly separated. Each has its own Dockerfile. The Makefile provides unified commands.
+- **Go backend is well-organized** — `cmd/server/`, `internal/{auth,config,db,handlers,middleware,models,router,services}` follows Go best practices.
+- **Handler/Service separation** — handlers do HTTP concerns (parse request, write response), services do business logic. This is correct.
+- **Parameterized SQL everywhere** — no string concatenation in queries. All user input goes through `$N` placeholders.
+- **Multi-tenant design** — `tenant_id` on every row, context-based tenant resolution, RLS at the database level.
+- **Smart use of Go 1.22+ routing** — method+path patterns like `GET /api/cases/{id}` eliminate the need for a third-party router.
+- **CalDAV sync is genuinely impressive** — bidirectional sync with conflict resolution, etag tracking, background polling per-tenant. This is a differentiator.
+- **Deadline calculator** — ported from youpc.org with holiday awareness. Legally important and hard to build.
+- **Frontend routing structure** — German URL paths (`/fristen`, `/termine`, `/einstellungen`), nested case detail routes with layout.tsx for shared chrome. Proper use of App Router patterns.
+
+### 3.2 Structural Concerns
+
+- **No database migrations** — the schema was apparently created via SQL scripts run manually. There's a `seed/demo_data.sql` but no migration system. For a production system, this is unsustainable.
+- **No CI/CD pipeline** — no `.github/workflows/`, `.gitea/`, or any CI configuration. Tests run locally but not automatically.
+- **No API versioning** — all routes are at `/api/`. Adding breaking changes will break clients.
+- **Services take raw `*sqlx.DB`** — no transaction support across service boundaries. Creating a case + event is not atomic (if the event insert fails, the case still exists).
+- **Models are just struct definitions** — no validation methods, no constructor functions. Validation is scattered across handlers.
+
+### 3.3 Data Model
+
+Based on the seed data and model files, the schema is reasonable:
+- `tenants`, `user_tenants` (multi-tenancy)
+- `cases`, `parties` (case management)
+- `deadlines`, `appointments` (time management)
+- `documents`, `case_events`, `notes` (supporting data)
+- `proceeding_types`, `deadline_rules`, `holidays` (reference data)
+
+**Missing indexes likely needed:**
+- `deadlines(tenant_id, status, due_date)` — for dashboard queries
+- `appointments(tenant_id, start_at)` — for calendar queries
+- `case_events(case_id, created_at)` — for event feeds
+- `cases(tenant_id, status)` — for filtered lists
+
+**Missing constraints:**
+- No CHECK constraint on status values (cases, deadlines, appointments)
+- No UNIQUE constraint on `case_number` per tenant
+- No foreign key from `notes` to the parent entity (if polymorphic)
+
+---
+
+## 4. Security Assessment
+
+### 4.1 Authentication
+- **JWT validation is correct** — algorithm check (HMAC only), expiry check, sub claim extraction. Using `golang-jwt/v5`.
+- **Supabase Auth on frontend** — proper cookie-based session with server-side verification in middleware.
+- **No refresh token rotation** — the API client uses `getSession()` which may serve stale tokens.
+
+### 4.2 Authorization
+- **Critical: Tenant isolation bypass** (see 1.1)
+- **No role-based access control** — `user_tenants` has a `role` column but it's never checked. Any member can do anything.
+- **No resource-level permissions** — any user in a tenant can delete any case, document, etc.
+
+### 4.3 Input Validation
+- **SQL injection: Protected** — all queries use parameterized placeholders.
+- **XSS: Partially protected** — React auto-escapes, but the API returns raw strings that could contain HTML. The `Content-Disposition` header is vulnerable (see 2.6).
+- **File upload: Partially protected** — `MaxBytesReader` limits to 50MB, but no file type validation (could upload .exe, .html with scripts, etc.).
+- **Rate limiting: AI endpoints only** — the rest of the API has no rate limiting. Login/register go through Supabase (which has its own limits), but all CRUD endpoints are unlimited.
+
+### 4.4 Secrets
+- **No hardcoded secrets** — all via environment variables. Good.
+- **CalDAV credentials in plaintext** — see 1.3.
+- **Supabase service key in backend** — necessary for storage, but this key has full DB access. Should be scoped.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Testing Assessment
+
+### 5.1 Backend Tests (15 files)
+- **Integration test** — sets up real DB connection, creates JWT, tests full HTTP flow. Excellent pattern but requires DATABASE_URL (skips otherwise).
+- **Handler tests** — mock-based unit tests for most handlers. Test JSON parsing, error responses, basic happy paths.
+- **Service tests** — deadline calculator has solid date arithmetic tests. Holiday service tested. CalDAV service tested with mocks. AI service tested with mocked HTTP.
+- **Middleware tests** — rate limiter tested.
+- **Auth tests** — tenant resolver tested.
+
+### 5.2 Frontend Tests (4 files)
+- `api.test.ts` — tests the API client
+- `DeadlineTrafficLights.test.tsx` — component test
+- `CaseOverviewGrid.test.tsx` — component test
+- `LoginPage.test.tsx` — auth page test
+
+### 5.3 What's Missing
+- **No E2E tests** — no Playwright/Cypress. Critical for a law firm app where correctness matters.
+- **No contract tests** — frontend and backend are tested independently. A schema change could break the frontend without any test catching it.
+- **Deadline calculation edge cases** — needs tests for year boundaries, leap years, holidays falling on weekends, multiple consecutive holidays.
+- **Multi-tenant security tests** — no test verifying that User A can't access Tenant B's data. This is the most important test to add.
+- **Frontend test coverage is thin** — 4 tests for ~30 components. The dashboard, all forms, navigation, error states are untested.
+- **No load testing** — unknown how the system behaves under concurrent users.
+
+---
+
+## 6. UX Assessment
+
+### 6.1 What Works
+- **Dashboard is strong** — traffic light deadline indicators, upcoming timeline, case overview, quick actions. A lawyer can see what matters at a glance.
+- **German localization** — UI is in German with proper legal terminology (Akten, Fristen, Termine, Parteien).
+- **Mobile responsive** — sidebar collapses to hamburger menu, layout uses responsive grids.
+- **Loading states** — skeleton screens on dashboard, not just spinners.
+- **Breadcrumbs** — navigation trail on all pages.
+- **Deadline calculator** — unique feature that provides real value for UPC litigation.
+
+### 6.2 What a Lawyer Would Stumble On
+1. **No onboarding flow** — after registration, user has no tenant, no cases. The app shows empty states but doesn't guide the user to create a tenant or import data.
+2. **No search** — there's no global search. A lawyer with 100+ cases needs to find things fast.
+3. **No keyboard shortcuts** — power users (lawyers are keyboard-heavy) have no shortcuts.
+4. **Sidebar mixes languages** — "Akten" (German) vs "AI Analyse" (English). Should be consistent.
+5. **No notifications** — overdue deadlines don't trigger any alert beyond the dashboard color. No email alerts, no push notifications.
+6. **No print view** — lawyers need to print deadline lists, case summaries. No print stylesheet.
+7. **No bulk operations** — can't mark multiple deadlines as complete, can't bulk-assign parties.
+8. **Document upload has no preview** — uploaded PDFs can't be viewed inline.
+9. **AI features require manual trigger** — AI summary and deadline extraction are manual. Should auto-trigger on document upload.
+10. **No activity log per user** — no audit trail of who changed what. Critical for law firm compliance.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Deployment Assessment
+
+### 7.1 Docker Setup
+- **Multi-stage builds** — both Dockerfiles use builder pattern. Good.
+- **Backend is minimal** — Alpine + static binary + ca-certificates. ~15MB image.
+- **Frontend** — Bun for deps/build, Node for runtime (standalone output). Reasonable.
+- **Missing:** go.sum not copied in backend Dockerfile (see 2.9).
+- **Missing:** No docker-compose.yml for local development.
+- **Missing:** No health check in Dockerfile (`HEALTHCHECK` instruction).
+
+### 7.2 Environment Handling
+- **Config validates required vars** — `DATABASE_URL` and `SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET` are checked at startup.
+- **Supabase URL/keys not validated** — if missing, features silently fail or crash at runtime.
+- **No .env.example** — new developers don't know what env vars are needed.
+
+### 7.3 Reliability
+- **No graceful shutdown** (see 2.7)
+- **No readiness/liveness probes** — `/health` exists but only checks DB connectivity. No readiness distinction.
+- **CalDAV sync runs in-process** — if the sync goroutine panics, it takes down the API server.
+- **No structured error recovery** — panics in handlers will crash the process (no recovery middleware).
+
+---
+
+## 8. Competitive Analysis
+
+### 8.1 The Market
+
+German Kanzleisoftware is a mature, crowded market:
+
+| Tool | Type | Price | Key Strength |
+|------|------|-------|-------------|
+| **RA-MICRO** | Desktop + Cloud | ~100-200 EUR/user/mo | Market leader, 30+ years, full beA integration |
+| **ADVOWARE** | Desktop + Cloud | from 20 EUR/mo | Budget-friendly, strong for small firms |
+| **AnNoText** (Wolters Kluwer) | Desktop + Cloud | Custom pricing | Enterprise, AI document analysis, DictNow |
+| **Actaport** | Cloud-native | from 79.80 EUR/mo | Modern UI, Mandantenportal, integrated Office |
+| **Haufe Advolux** | Cloud | Custom | User-friendly, full-featured |
+| **Renostar Legal Cloud** | Cloud | Custom | Browser-based, no installation |
+
+### 8.2 Table-Stakes Features KanzlAI is Missing
+
+These are **mandatory** for any German Kanzleisoftware to be taken seriously:
+
+1. **beA Integration** — since 2022, German lawyers must use the electronic court mailbox (besonderes elektronisches Anwaltspostfach). No Kanzleisoftware sells without it. This is a **massive** implementation effort (KSW-Schnittstelle from BRAK).
+
+2. **RVG Billing (Gebührenrechner)** — automated fee calculation per RVG (Rechtsanwaltsvergütungsgesetz). Every competitor has this built-in. Without it, lawyers can't bill clients.
+
+3. **Document Generation** — templates for Schriftsätze, Klageschriften, Mahnbescheide with auto-populated case data. Usually integrated with Word.
+
+4. **Accounting (FiBu)** — client trust accounts (Fremdgeld), DATEV export, tax-relevant bookkeeping. Legal requirement.
+
+5. **Conflict Check (Kollisionsprüfung)** — check if the firm has a conflict of interest before taking a case. Legally required (§ 43a BRAO).
+
+6. **Dictation System** — voice-to-text for lawyers. RA-MICRO has DictaNet, AnNoText has DictNow.
+
+### 8.3 Where KanzlAI Could Differentiate
+
+Despite the feature gap, KanzlAI has some advantages:
+
+1. **AI-native** — competitors are bolting AI onto 20-year-old software. KanzlAI has Claude API integration from day one. The deadline extraction from PDFs is genuinely useful.
+2. **UPC specialization** — the deadline calculator with UPC Rules of Procedure knowledge is unique. No competitor has deep UPC litigation support.
+3. **CalDAV sync** — bidirectional sync with external calendars is not common in German Kanzleisoftware.
+4. **Modern tech stack** — React + Go + Supabase vs. the .NET/Java/Desktop world of RA-MICRO et al.
+5. **Multi-tenant from day 1** — designed for SaaS, not converted from desktop software.
+
+### 8.4 Strategic Recommendation
+
+**Don't compete head-on with RA-MICRO.** The feature gap is 10+ person-years of work. Instead:
+
+**Option A: UPC Niche Tool** — Pivot back to UPC patent litigation. Build the best deadline calculator, case tracker, and AI-powered brief analysis tool for UPC practitioners. There are ~1000 UPC practitioners in Europe who need specialized tooling that RA-MICRO doesn't provide. Charge 200-500 EUR/mo.
+
+**Option B: AI-First Legal Assistant** — Don't call it "Kanzleimanagement." Position as an AI assistant that reads court documents, extracts deadlines, and syncs to the lawyer's existing Kanzleisoftware via CalDAV/iCal. This sidesteps the feature gap entirely.
+
+**Option C: Full Kanzleisoftware** — If you pursue this, beA integration is the first priority, then RVG billing. Without these two, no German lawyer will switch.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Strengths (What's Good, Keep Doing It)
+
+1. **Architecture is solid** — the Go + Next.js + Supabase stack is well-chosen. Clean separation of concerns.
+2. **SQL is safe** — parameterized queries throughout. No injection vectors.
+3. **Multi-tenant design** — tenant_id scoping with RLS is the right approach.
+4. **CalDAV implementation** — genuinely impressive for an MVP. Bidirectional sync with conflict resolution.
+5. **Deadline calculator** — ported from youpc.org with holiday awareness. Real domain value.
+6. **AI integration** — Claude API with tool use for structured extraction. Clean implementation.
+7. **Dashboard UX** — traffic lights, timeline, quick actions. Lawyers will get this immediately.
+8. **German-first** — proper legal terminology, German date formats, localized UI.
+9. **Test foundation** — 15 backend test files with integration tests. Good starting point.
+10. **Docker builds are lean** — multi-stage, Alpine-based, standalone Next.js output.
+
