mAi: #111 - t-paliad-279 — Verfahrensablauf form reorder + project auto-fill chip

Reorder Verfahrensablauf 'Browse a proceeding' so the user-input flow matches the importance hierarchy: proceeding-type → side → appellant → date / court / flags. Side was previously below the date input; it is the most-defining input after proceeding-type, so it belongs above. - frontend/src/verfahrensablauf.tsx: move .verfahrensablauf-perspective block above .date-input-group inside step-2. Wrap the side radio cluster in #side-radio-cluster and add a sibling #side-chip (hidden by default) that the client swaps in when a project pre-fills the side. Add a 1px divider between perspective and date-input groups. Update step-2 heading from "Ausgangsdatum eingeben" → "Perspektive und Datum" to honestly describe both controls now under the heading. - frontend/src/client/verfahrensablauf.ts: read ?project=<id> on init, fetch /api/projects/<id>, map our_side onto the side axis (mirrors fristenrechner.ts ourSideToPerspective: claimant/applicant/appellant → claimant, defendant/respondent → defendant, else null) and render the side row as a read-only chip + "Andere Seite wählen" override link. The chip respects ?side= as an explicit user pick — URL wins over project auto-fill, same precedence as fristenrechner. Override swaps back to the radio cluster and drops ?project= from the URL. Side-chip label is language-aware via onLangChange. - frontend/src/styles/global.css: .verfahrensablauf-step2-divider (1px hr between perspective and date blocks); .side-chip / -tag / -value / -override styles mirror .proceeding-summary's chip look so the two read as the same visual family. - frontend/src/client/i18n.ts + i18n-keys.ts: 3 new keys (deadlines.step2.perspective, deadlines.side.from_project, deadlines.side.override) in DE + EN. URL state stays backward-compatible: ?side= and ?appellant= survive the reorder unchanged. Adding ?project= opts in to auto-fill; without it the page behaves identically to before. No backend / projection logic change.

+-- t-paliad-263 Wave 0 + m/paliad#99 — Tier 0 deadline-rule corrections.
+--
+-- Source: docs/research-deadlines-completeness-2026-05-25.md §10 Tier 0
+-- (curie's bulletproof completeness audit, merged 2026-05-25 as commit
+-- 94a9e7e). 16 distinct single-row UPDATEs across UPC + DE-LG + DPMA +
+-- EPA proceedings; T0.5 + T0.6 were shipped separately as mig 124
+-- (m/paliad#95, de.inf.lg Replik/Duplik sequencing) and are not
+-- repeated here. T0.8 (covered by T0.2) and T0.11 (covered by T0.1)
+-- are dedup'd out per the audit's own note.
+--
+-- Also folds in m/paliad#99 (UPC Statement of Claim missing legal
+-- citation): upc.inf.cfi.soc.rule_code / legal_source backfilled to
+-- UPC RoP R.13(1). Same migration file, separate UPDATE block with
+-- its own guard.
+--
+-- All fixes within the existing schema (no new columns). Each UPDATE
+-- is guarded by a WHERE clause that matches only the pre-fix row
+-- state (per mig 095 convention) — re-applying against a DB that
+-- already carries the fix matches zero rows and no-ops, so there are
+-- no duplicate deadline_rule_audit entries on idempotent re-runs.
+--
+-- Verification DO block at the end RAISEs EXCEPTION if any of the
+-- patched rows is left in an inconsistent shape (mixing pre-fix and
+-- post-fix state).
+--
+-- audit_reason set_config required at the top — the mig 079 trigger
+-- on paliad.deadline_rules raises EXCEPTION 'audit reason required'
+-- on any UPDATE without it.

+-- Slot 127 reserved per paliadin: sequence is 124 brunel #95 (done),
+-- 125 hermes #97, 126 icarus #80, 127 brunel Wave 0 + #99, 128+ next.

+// Reads HLC's "HL Patents Style" .dotm letterhead, strips its VBA
+// macros and template-only artifacts, then emits a clean .docx that:
+//
+//  1. Preserves every HL paragraph + character style (HLpat-Heading-H1,
+//     HLpat-Body-B0, HLpat-Signature, HLpat-Table-Recitals-*, …) by
+//     keeping word/styles.xml, word/theme/*, word/numbering.xml,
+//     word/fontTable.xml, settings.xml, footnotes/endnotes from the
+//     source .dotm untouched.
+//  2. Preserves the firm letterhead (logo header + firm-address footer)
+//     by keeping word/header[12].xml + word/footer[12].xml and the
+//     sectPr that references them.
+//  3. Replaces word/document.xml with a Schriftsatz-shaped body that
+//     exercises every SubmissionVarsService placeholder (firm.*,
+//     today.*, user.*, project.*, parties.*, procedural_event.*, rule.*,
+//     deadline.*) — applying HL paragraph/character styles to each
+//     section so the rendered output reads as a real HL submission with
+//     variables substituted.
+//
+// Drop the output into HL/mWorkRepo at
+//
+//	6 - material/Templates/Word/Paliad/HLC/_firm-skeleton.docx
+//
+// so paliad's submission generator picks it up via the fallback chain.
+// Lookup order after this CL: per-firm per-code → _firm-skeleton.docx
+// (THIS file — HL formatting + placeholders) → universal _skeleton.docx
+// (generic skeleton from t-paliad-259) → bare HL Patents Style .dotm
+// (no placeholders). See internal/handlers/submission_drafts.go
+// resolveSubmissionTemplate.
+//
+// Why this is firm-specific: the .dotm carries HL-licensed fonts,
+// HL-branded logo media, and HLpat-prefixed style IDs. The output lives
+// under the firm-namespaced directory in mWorkRepo so a future firm gets
+// its own equivalent file generated against its own .dotm.

mAi	a6d0acbcb4	mAi: #111 - t-paliad-279 — Verfahrensablauf form reorder + project auto-fill chip Reorder Verfahrensablauf 'Browse a proceeding' so the user-input flow matches the importance hierarchy: proceeding-type → side → appellant → date / court / flags. Side was previously below the date input; it is the most-defining input after proceeding-type, so it belongs above. - frontend/src/verfahrensablauf.tsx: move .verfahrensablauf-perspective block above .date-input-group inside step-2. Wrap the side radio cluster in #side-radio-cluster and add a sibling #side-chip (hidden by default) that the client swaps in when a project pre-fills the side. Add a 1px divider between perspective and date-input groups. Update step-2 heading from "Ausgangsdatum eingeben" → "Perspektive und Datum" to honestly describe both controls now under the heading. - frontend/src/client/verfahrensablauf.ts: read ?project=<id> on init, fetch /api/projects/<id>, map our_side onto the side axis (mirrors fristenrechner.ts ourSideToPerspective: claimant/applicant/appellant → claimant, defendant/respondent → defendant, else null) and render the side row as a read-only chip + "Andere Seite wählen" override link. The chip respects ?side= as an explicit user pick — URL wins over project auto-fill, same precedence as fristenrechner. Override swaps back to the radio cluster and drops ?project= from the URL. Side-chip label is language-aware via onLangChange. - frontend/src/styles/global.css: .verfahrensablauf-step2-divider (1px hr between perspective and date blocks); .side-chip / -tag / -value / -override styles mirror .proceeding-summary's chip look so the two read as the same visual family. - frontend/src/client/i18n.ts + i18n-keys.ts: 3 new keys (deadlines.step2.perspective, deadlines.side.from_project, deadlines.side.override) in DE + EN. URL state stays backward-compatible: ?side= and ?appellant= survive the reorder unchanged. Adding ?project= opts in to auto-fill; without it the page behaves identically to before. No backend / projection logic change.	2026-05-25 16:51:27 +02:00
mAi	930771a898	Merge: t-paliad-275 — HL-formatted skeleton template with placeholders (m/paliad#107 )	2026-05-25 16:37:34 +02:00
mAi	f2fbf93adf	feat(submissions): HL-formatted skeleton template with placeholders (t-paliad-275) Adds a firm-formatted Schriftsatz skeleton between the per-submission_code template and the generic universal skeleton in the fallback chain. Carries every HL paragraph + character style from the HL Patents Style .dotm (HLpat-Heading-H1..H5, HLpat-Body-B0, HLpat-Header-Section, HLpat-Table-Recitals-Party/Details/Roles/Sequencers, HLpat-Signature, HLpat-Requests-Intro/Level1, HLpat-EvidenceOffering, …) and the firm letterhead (header logo + firm-address footer), plus the full 48-key SubmissionVarsService placeholder bag exercised in a real Schriftsatz layout (rubrum → Betreff → Anträge → Sachverhalt → Rechtsausführungen → Beweis → Schlussformel) with a locale-aware verification footer covering every DE/EN alias and the rule.* legacy keys. Resolved fallback chain after this CL: 1. per-firm per-submission_code template (submissionTemplateRegistry) 2. _firm-skeleton.docx — HL styles + placeholders (NEW) 3. universal _skeleton.docx — placeholders only 4. HL Patents Style.dotm — letterhead only scripts/gen-hl-skeleton-template/main.go reads the source .dotm, strips VBA macros + ribbon customizations + glossary parts, patches [Content_Types].xml and the document rels, and replaces document.xml with HL-styled paragraphs containing the placeholders. Keeps styles.xml, theme/, header[12].xml, footer[12].xml, numbering.xml, settings.xml, fontTable.xml, and media untouched so the firm typography survives. Template uploaded to HL/mWorkRepo at 6 - material/Templates/Word/Paliad/HLC/_firm-skeleton.docx (commit 0a41b45, blob SHA 07f7547d). Verified end-to-end against the in-house renderer with a 48-key sample project: every placeholder substitutes cleanly, no orphan {{ markers, no VBA / glossary / customUI leftovers, header/footer rIds resolve.	2026-05-25 16:35:38 +02:00
mAi	7368e7012b	Merge: t-paliad-274 — bidirectional draft editor link + click-field-highlights (m/paliad#106 )	2026-05-25 16:34:28 +02:00
mAi	d4df81e374	mAi: #106 - t-paliad-274 — bidirectional draft editor link + click-field-highlights Extension of #92 (m/paliad/issues/106). Two related polish fixes for the submission draft editor's preview ↔ sidebar wiring. Concern A — link persists after fill (regression coverage + UX visibility) Audited the Go renderer: substituteInTextNodes / substituteAcrossRuns already pass both filled and missing values through htmlPreviewWrapper, so the <span class="draft-var" data-var="…"> wrapping is present for every substituted placeholder regardless of source (resolved bag, lawyer override, missing marker). What looked broken to m was a visibility problem: the always-on rgba(198, 244, 28, 0.12) tint is imperceptible against the serif preview prose, so a filled value reads as plain text and the user concludes "the link is gone". Added TestRenderHTML_WrapsOverriddenValueSameAsResolved that pins the invariant explicitly — an override (project.case_number = "UPC_CFI_ 42/2026") and a resolved value (firm.name = "HLC") both end up in matching draft-var spans. Locks future refactors out of dropping the wrap on either path. CSS rewrite per m's "prose stays clean when not interacting" guidance (issue body): drop the always-on background; on hover of a --has-input span, layer a dotted-underline + brighter lime tint so the click affordance reveals itself. Missing markers carry their own [KEIN WERT: …] / [NO VALUE: …] gap-text and don't need extra visual. Concern B — sidebar-field-focus → preview-occurrence highlight (new) Reverse direction of the click-to-jump from #92. focusin on any .submission-draft-var-input applies .draft-var--active to every matching span in the preview; focusout (or focus shift via Tab) clears them. Sticky-while-focused, not a one-shot flash — the lawyer can scan "where does this variable land in my prose?" while the field stays focused. New CSS class .draft-var--active uses a brighter lime + box-shadow ring so all occurrences pop at once. Handlers are wired in paintVariables and re-applied at the end of both paintVariables AND paintPreview because: - paintVariables runs after autosave and re-creates inputs via innerHTML, so the focusin listener attached to the old input is gone; restoreVarFocus puts focus back programmatically without firing focusin again. We re-apply explicitly to bridge. - paintPreview blows away the preview HTML on every autosave, so any prior --active class is gone too. Re-apply based on the currently-focused sidebar input. Files internal/services/submission_merge_test.go — new regression test frontend/src/client/submission-draft.ts — focus handlers + re-apply frontend/src/styles/global.css — draft-var rewrite, --active Hard rules - .docx export path unchanged (Render passes nil wrap, covered by existing TestRender_DocxOutputUnchangedByPreviewWrap). - Both directions survive autosave-driven preview re-renders (see paintPreview re-apply + paintVariables re-apply). - go build ./... && go test ./internal/... && bun run build all clean.	2026-05-25 16:32:45 +02:00

mAi	d3c28009de	mAi: #103 - t-paliad-271 Wave 2 Tier-3 Slice A — deadline-rule primitives Implements three Tier 3 primitives from curie's bulletproof completeness audit (docs/research-deadlines-completeness-2026-05-25.md §10 T3.1, T3.2, T3.5), per m's 2026-05-25 15:29 steer to build the full primitives instead of documenting workarounds. Primitive 1 — duration_unit='working_days': Calculator walks day-by-day skipping weekends + court holidays via HolidayService.IsNonWorkingDay. Event day is not counted; result is always a working day for the (country, regime). Unlocks T1.8/T1.9 modeling and the R.198 / R.213 alt leg. Primitive 2 — combine_op='max' (and 'min'): When alt_duration_value + alt_duration_unit + combine_op are set, the calculator evaluates both legs and picks the later (max) or earlier (min) of the two adjusted end dates. The DB already had two rules shaped this way ('31d OR 20wd, whichever is longer' — R.198 / R.213); the calculator was silently dropping the alt leg. Primitive 5 — timing='before' backward snap-to-working-day: For backward rules (R.109.1: 1 month before oral hearing; R.109.4: 2 weeks before) the calculator now snaps to the PRECEDING working day when the computed cut-off lands on a weekend/holiday. Forward snap (the prior behavior) would push the cut-off past the statutory limit and miss the deadline. Adds HolidayService.AdjustForNonWorkingDays- Backward as the symmetric counterpart of AdjustForNonWorkingDays. Migration 128 — DB schema: Adds CHECK constraints on deadline_rules.duration_unit and alt_duration_unit pinning the allowed set to days/weeks/months/ working_days. Live data audited and passes (no rows excluded). Tests (12 new + 1 flipped): - 5 working_days cases: forward over weekend, 20wd anchored on Fri, across Karfreitag/Ostermontag, across year boundary, backward from Friday, anchored on Saturday. - 2 backward snap cases: Sun → preceding Fri; cluster Sun → Sat → Karfreitag → Thu. - 4 combine_op cases: max with primary winning, max with alt winning over Christmas+Neujahr cluster, min with primary winning, NULL-alt short-circuit. - TestCalculateEndDate_BeforeTiming renamed and flipped from forward (Sun → Mon, the prior wrong behavior) to backward (Sun → Fri). No regression on existing rules: every pre-existing days/weeks/months 'after' rule still computes the same date. Frontend build + full go test ./internal/... clean. Slot 128 assigned per next-available convention (mig 127 = Wave 0 Tier-0 fixes, mig 128 = Wave 2 Tier-3 Slice A primitives).	2026-05-25 16:06:35 +02:00

mAi	d52995a4d6	feat(procedural-events): t-paliad-262 Slice A — prose-only rename (m/paliad#93 ) Renames the procedural-event surface of paliad.deadline_rules from "rule" wording to "procedural event" / "Verfahrensschritt" wording. No DB change, no API change, no Go-type rename. Fully reversible. m's locks via head (2026-05-25): - Q1=C: cosmetic now, structural rework (Slice B) as planned t-paliad-273. - Q2: umbrella term = procedural event / Verfahrensschritt. - Q7: legacy {{rule.X}} placeholder aliases kept forever (@deprecated). - Q9: Slice B filed as on-hold task immediately. Changes: - internal/services/submission_vars.go: emit procedural_event.* keys alongside legacy rule.* keys with identical values. Package + function comments updated. Function name kept (addRuleVars) to avoid coupling Slice A to the Go-type rename which is Slice B (B.5). - internal/services/submission_vars_aliases_test.go (new): regression test asserts (a) every (canonical, legacy) key pair resolves to the same string for both DE and EN; (b) NULL source columns still emit both keys with "". Removing either guard surfaces here. - frontend/src/client/submission-draft.ts: placeholder catalog now shows canonical procedural_event.* labels first; legacy rule.* entries kept as "(legacy)"-marked aliases. - frontend/src/client/i18n.ts: admin labels updated in place ("Regeln verwalten" → "Verfahrensschritte verwalten", etc.) under existing admin.rules.* keys; canonical admin.procedural_events.* keys added with identical values so .tsx files can rebind in Slice B. - frontend/src/i18n-keys.ts: auto-regenerated by build pipeline.

mAi	013facb9db	mAi: #100 - paliadin trigger: lift above bottom-nav at <=767px (t-paliad-269) The Paliadin floating-button trigger was overlapping the PWA bottom-nav on mobile because its lift rule was scoped to @media (max-width: 640px) while .bottom-nav itself appears at @media (max-width: 767px). Phones in landscape and small tablets between those breakpoints saw the desktop bottom: 20px and got covered by the navbar. Two changes: - Widen the trigger lift breakpoint to 767px (matches .bottom-nav). - Replace hardcoded 72px with calc(var(--bottom-nav-height) + 16px + env(safe-area-inset-bottom, 0px)) so the math tracks the navbar height variable already used elsewhere (e.g. dashboard-save-toast). The drawer's full-screen rule (.paliadin-widget-drawer width: 100vw) stays at <=640px — only the trigger lift moves. Desktop layout (bottom: 20px) unchanged; widget open/close animation unchanged.	2026-05-25 15:58:38 +02:00
