design: fold m's 12 decisions into unified procedural-events doc (m/paliad#151)

- §11.5 m's decisions section (9 on-rec + 3 divergent)
- diverged: Q2 /tools/procedures (English), Q3 all-tabs+search-in-filter-strip, Q11 hard cut no dual ship
- §11.5.1 changes triggered by divergences (URL rename, all-tabs behaviour, U4 rewrite)
- URL refs throughout body updated to /tools/procedures
- U4 slice rewritten to 301 hard-cut per Q11

+# Assessment — Deadline + Procedural-Events System
+
+**Phase 1 of RFC m/paliad#149.** Read-only audit of every consumer of
+`paliad.sequencing_rules` + `paliad.procedural_events` + the legacy
+`paliad.trigger_events`, the corpus they project, and the surfaces that
+read them.
+
+- Author: athena (consultant role)
+- Date: 2026-05-27
+- Live data: youpc Supabase (`paliad` schema), counts captured during the
+  audit window (mig 153 applied).
+- Scope: assessment only. No design proposals; no schema sketches; no
+  recommendations on column shape. Phase 2 (inventor) decides those.

+| `?trigger_event_id=…` query param | `:119-122` | exposes legacy trigger filter on the admin list |

+
+Registration: `internal/handlers/handlers.go:497-501, 880`.
+
+### 1.3 Frontend (TypeScript) consumers
+
+These call the routes above; **no direct DB access**. References per the
+i18n key search and `frontend/src/client/*` greps:
+
+- `frontend/src/admin-rules-list.tsx:24-105+` — admin list page shell;
+  hits `/admin/api/procedural-events*`.
+- `frontend/src/admin-rules-edit.tsx:29-187+` — admin editor form; reads
+  `procedural_events.edit.field.{code,event_kind,parent}` i18n keys.
+- `frontend/src/verfahrensablauf.tsx` — proceeding-type ablauf page
+  (mode C); hits `/api/tools/fristenrechner` with proceeding shape.
+- `frontend/src/client/fristenrechner-wizard.ts:80` — Mode A wizard;
+  `r4: string  // procedural_events.code`.
+- `frontend/src/client/fristenrechner-mode-a.ts` — Mode A search; hits
+  `/api/tools/fristenrechner/search?kind=events`.
+- `frontend/src/client/fristenrechner-result.ts` — result panel; hits
+  `/api/tools/fristenrechner/follow-ups`.
+- `frontend/src/client/projects-new.ts` — type-aware project wizard;
+  hits `/api/tools/fristenrechner?proceeding_type_code=…`.
+- `frontend/src/client/deadlines-detail.ts` — deadline CRUD detail.
+- i18n keys: `admin.procedural_events.list/edit/col.*` and translations
+  in `frontend/src/client/i18n.ts:3193-3204, 6338-6346+`.
+
+### 1.4 Offline snapshot
+
+- `cmd/gen-upc-snapshot/main.go:150-268` — reads `paliad.trigger_events`,
+  the legacy `paliad.deadline_rules` projection (now via the unified
+  view), and `paliad.proceeding_types`. Writes JSON to
+  `pkg/litigationplanner/embedded/upc/{trigger_events.json,
+  rules.json, proceeding_types.json, meta.json}`.
+- `pkg/litigationplanner/catalog.go` + `engine.go` + `types.go:73-156` —
+  Rule struct carries `TriggerEventID`, `SpawnProceedingTypeID`,
+  `ConditionExpr`, `Priority`, `IsCourtSet`, `PrimaryParty`, `IsSpawn`,
+  `SpawnLabel`, `CombineOp`. youpc.org consumes this snapshot.
+
+### 1.5 Migrations touching the tables (chronological)
+
+`internal/db/migrations/`:
+
+`028_youpc_deadlines_import`, `030_event_types`, `033_trigger_events_de`,
+`035_event_deadlines_title_de_backfill`, `038_concept_links_and_legal_source`,
+`046_cross_cutting_triggers`, `047_deadline_search_view`,

+`078_unified_rule_columns`, `091_drop_legacy_rule_columns`,
+`098_submission_codes_prefix_and_rename`, `125_cross_cutting_filter_legal_source`,
+`132_wave1_tier1_rule_additions`, **`136_procedural_events_additive`**
+(the schema-authoritative additive split), `139_deadline_rules_unified_view`,

+`151_dedupe_null_procedural_events`, `152_dedupe_identical_sequencing_rule_clones`,
+**`153_proceeding_types_kind`** (kind discriminator + projects FK trigger).
+
+Mig 145 is scenario-side: creates `paliad.scenarios` (table, **not**
+a `scenarios` jsonb column on `projects` — the RFC text was imprecise)
+and `paliad.projects.active_scenario_id` FK.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Health-check per consumer
+
+### 2.1 Works — green
+
+- **`DualWriteService` parity.** Every CRUD on the editor surface
+  keeps sequencing_rules + procedural_events + legal_sources locked,
+  asserted by `dual_write_test.go:50-202`.
+- **Admin editor (`/admin/procedural-events/*`).** Full create / edit /
+  publish / audit loop. Drafts state respected.
+- **Mode A picker via search.** `DeadlineSearchService` filters by
+  `event_kind` / `primary_party` / `jurisdiction`; returns child-rule
+  counts (`fristenrechner_search_events.go:159`).
+- **Mode B Verfahrensablauf calc.** `pkg/litigationplanner.CalculateRule`
+  + the `proceeding_type` fan-out works for every type that has any
+  rule (17/23).
+- **`gen-upc-snapshot`.** UPC snapshot for youpc.org keeps shipping;
+  no DB writes; reads only.
+- **Counterclaim spawn project creation.**
+  `internal/handlers/projection.go:387-436` + mig 153 trigger guard
+  reject any non-`proceeding` `proceeding_type_id`.
+- **EventChoiceService** SQL is wired and tested — but see §2.3.
+
+### 2.2 Works with known caveats — yellow
+
+- **Spawn rules.** Behaviour is correct in the abstract (rule fires,
+  user can spawn a child case), but every spawn target points at the
+  **inactive** `upc.apl.merits` (id=11). Surfaces that resolve the
+  spawn target via `paliad.proceeding_types` will return an inactive
+  row. See R3. Cited at `sequencing_rules` 4 rows; service code in
+  `fristenrechner_followups.go:388` SELECTs `spt.code` via
+  `LEFT JOIN paliad.proceeding_types spt ON spt.id = sr.spawn_proceeding_type_id`
+  — no `is_active` filter on the join. Frontend renders an "open
+  Berufungsverfahren" CTA that points at a UI flow expecting the
+  active id=160 (`upc.apl.unified`).
+- **Legacy 73 globals.** 73 rules with `proceeding_type_id IS NULL`
+  and `trigger_event_id NOT NULL`. These all anchor on legacy
+  `null.<8hex>` event codes that don't match any `proceeding_types.code`
+  prefix. They are consumed via `/api/tools/event-deadlines` (the
+  bigint route) AND surface on the unified view. They have no place
+  in the Mode B "proceeding-type ablauf" view because they have no
+  proceeding. See R4.
+- **Legacy `/api/tools/event-deadlines` route.** Live, used by
+  Pipeline-C `event_types` consumers (`EventTypeService`). The
+  `ExportService:1680` also still emits `ref__trigger_events` to the
+  workbook. Deprecation has been deferred — see R5.
+
+### 2.3 Broken / leaky — red
+
+- **B1 — Follow-up cross-party filter is over-broad.**
+  `fristenrechner_followups.go:358-367`:
+
+  ```go
+  if party == "claimant" || party == "defendant" {
+      args = append(args, party)
+      where = append(where, fmt.Sprintf(
+          "(sr.primary_party = $%d OR sr.primary_party = 'both' OR sr.primary_party IS NULL)",
+          len(args)))
+  }
+  ```
+
+  The filter keeps `both` + `NULL` rules but **drops cross-party
+  follow-ups**. From the corpus there are 39 active rules whose
+  `primary_party` differs from their parent's primary_party (excluding
+  `court`). Example: `upc.inf.cfi.def_to_ccr` is claimant-filed; its
+  child rule `RoP.029.d → reply_def_ccr` is defendant-filed. With
+  `party=claimant` selected on the result view, the defendant child
+  is hidden and the user reads "Keine Folge-Fristen" — a lie. This
+  is the exact bug the RFC §"What's actually broken" item 2 calls
+  out.
+
+- **B2 — Picker doesn't distinguish triggers from leaves.**
+  `LookupFollowUps` (`fristenrechner_followups.go:241-287`) resolves
+  by `pe.id` / `pe.code` / `sr.id` with no
+  "is-this-event-actually-a-trigger" gate. The data already supports
+  derivation — 67 of 222 active events act as a chain anchor. The
+  picker just isn't wired to the derivation. Compounding: 4 events
+  are *spawn-only* consequences (`upc.{inf,rev,pi,dmgs}.cfi.appeal_spawn`)
+  — picking one returns the spawn rule itself with no follow-ups,
+  which surfaces as "Keine Folge-Fristen".
+
+- **B3 — Scenario state is forked across three stores by design but
+  zero stores by data.**
+  - `paliad.project_event_choices` (mig 129) — schema present, 0 rows.
+    `EventChoiceService` reads + writes it via
+    `internal/services/event_choice_service.go:74,123,180`.
+  - `paliad.scenarios` (mig 145) — 0 rows, 0/18 projects bound via
+    `active_scenario_id`. `ScenarioService.LoadScenarios` in
+    `internal/services/fristenrechner.go:583-627` reads it.
+  - DOM state on the result view — Verfahrensablauf checkbox state
+    only lives client-side. Confirmed by absence of a write path
+    from `verfahrensablauf.tsx` to either DB-side store.
+
+  The RFC's "three independent stores" claim is *architecturally*
+  true today, but every store is empty. Risk is dormant — until
+  someone enables persistence on either path and the divergence
+  materialises. See R6.
+
+- **B4 — 6 active `proceeding_types` have zero rules.**
+  `upc.bsv.cfi`, `upc.ccr.cfi`, `upc.costs.cfi`, `upc.dni.cfi`,
+  `upc.epo.review`, `upc.pl.cfi`. They appear in
+  `/api/tools/proceeding-types` (`is_active=true` + `kind='proceeding'`)
+  but produce empty timelines when chosen. The Mode A picker can
+  bind a project to them; the Mode B result view is blank.
+
+### 2.4 Dead-or-decaying code
+
+- **`paliad.trigger_events` table.** 110 rows; columns
+  `(id, code, name, name_de, description, is_active, created_at, concept_id)`.
+  Bigint PK. No `parent_id`, no `proceeding_type_id`. Consumed by:
+  `deadline_rule_service.go:226-285` (label fallback), `event_deadline_service.go`
+  (legacy route), `event_type_service.go` (Pipeline C bridge),
+  `export_service.go:1680` (workbook sheet), and 80 active
+  sequencing_rules' `trigger_event_id` (which is in turn primarily a
+  bridge for the 73 globals + 7 hybrid rules with a real proceeding).
+- **Inactive proceeding_types still referenced by spawn rules.**
+  id 11 (`upc.apl.merits`), 19 (`upc.apl.cost`), 20 (`upc.apl.order`).
+  Mig 138 (`appeal_target_backfill_merits_order`) split them, mig
+  later unified them onto id 160. The 4 spawn rules' FK was not
+  updated.
+- **3 non-`proceeding` kinds.** 23 rows total
+  (`phase` × 4 + `side_action` × 10 + `meta` × 9), all
+  `is_active=false` after mig 153. Live in the table for audit;
+  unused by any active surface. The Slice 10 orphan-resolution path
+  (`rule_editor_orphans.go`) could theoretically encounter them, but
+  active = false filters them out.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Rules-corpus quality audit (live data)
+
+### 3.1 `parent_id` coverage
+
+- 107/226 active+published rules have `parent_id` set (**47%**, matches
+  RFC).
+- 119/226 do not. Decomposition (active+published):
+
+| Subset | Rows | Meaning |
+|---|--:|---|
+| `parent_id NULL` AND `trigger_event_id IS NULL` AND `proceeding_type_id` set | 46 | Genuine proceeding-level roots (each PT has 1–6 such). |
+| `parent_id NULL` AND `trigger_event_id` set AND `proceeding_type_id NULL` | 73 | The legacy globals — no place in the new chain model yet. |
+
+Of the 46 proceeding-level roots:
+
+| `proceeding_type.code` | roots | active rules |
+|---|--:|--:|
+| `de.inf.lg` | 5 | 9 |
+| `de.null.bpatg` | 4 | 10 |
+| `epa.grant.exa` | 4 | 7 |
+| `upc.apl.unified` | 6 | 16 |
+| `epa.opp.boa` | 3 | 8 |
+| `upc.pi.cfi` | 3 | 7 |
+| `epa.opp.opd` | 2 | 8 |
+| `de.inf.bgh`, `de.inf.olg`, `de.null.bgh`, `dpma.appeal.bgh`, `dpma.appeal.bpatg`, `dpma.opp.dpma`, `upc.disc.cfi` | 1 each | various |
+| `upc.dmgs.cfi`, `upc.inf.cfi`, `upc.rev.cfi` | 4 each | 8/25/17 |
+
+Most "root" rules are legitimate (the chain start event has no logical
+predecessor — `Klageerhebung`, `Zustellung`, `Veröffentlichung`,
+`Anmeldung`, etc.). A small number are leaves whose parent chain just
+hasn't been seeded (e.g. `de.inf.lg.berufung` / `de.inf.lg.beruf_begr`
+list "Berufungsfrist" and "Berufungsbegründung" as parent-NULL despite
+both having a logical predecessor in `de.inf.lg.urteil`).
+
+### 3.2 `condition_expr` usage
+
+18 rules use the column. Three keys total:
+
+| Key | Uses | Sample shape |
+|---|--:|---|
+| `flag` | 14 | `{"flag":"with_ccr"}`, `{"flag":"with_amend"}`, `{"flag":"with_cci"}` |
+| `op` | 4 | `{"op":"and","args":[{"flag":"with_ccr"},{"flag":"with_amend"}]}` |
+| `args` | 4 | always nested under an `op:and` |
+
+Distinct expressions (4 total, all UPC inf/rev):
+`{"flag":"with_ccr"}` (×6), `{"op":"and","args":[{"flag":"with_ccr"},{"flag":"with_amend"}]}` (×4), `{"flag":"with_cci"}` (×4), `{"flag":"with_amend"}` (×4).
+
+No formal validation at write time — `RuleEditorService` accepts the
+column as freeform jsonb. The 3 flags are de-facto convention.
+
+### 3.3 Spawn distribution
+
+4 rules, all in the UPC CFI cluster, all `priority='optional'` +
+`primary_party='both'` + spawn target id=11 (`upc.apl.merits`, inactive):
+
+| Anchor event | Spawn label | Target |
+|---|---|---|
+| `upc.inf.cfi.appeal_spawn` | "Berufungsverfahren öffnen" | id=11 (inactive) |
+| `upc.rev.cfi.appeal_spawn` | "Berufungsverfahren öffnen" | id=11 (inactive) |
+| `upc.pi.cfi.appeal_spawn` | "Berufungsverfahren öffnen" | id=11 (inactive) |
+| `upc.dmgs.cfi.appeal_spawn` | "Berufungsverfahren öffnen" | id=11 (inactive) |
+
+### 3.4 `primary_party` distribution
+
+Excluding the 73 globals (all NULL), the published+active rules split:
+
+| `proceeding_type` cluster | `claimant` | `defendant` | `both` | `court` |
+|---|--:|--:|--:|--:|
+| `upc.inf.cfi` (25) | 6 | 7 | 8 | 4 |
+| `upc.rev.cfi` (17) | 6 | 7 | 1 | 3 |
+| `upc.apl.unified` (16) | 0 | 0 | 12 | 4 |
+| `de.null.bpatg` (10) | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
+| `de.inf.lg` (9) | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
+| `epa.opp.opd` (8) | 0 | 1 | 6 | 1 |
+| `epa.opp.boa` (8) | 0 | 0 | 6 | 2 |
+| `de.inf.bgh` (8) | 0 | 0 | 6 | 2 |
+| `upc.dmgs.cfi` (8) | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
+
+39 rules have a `primary_party` value that differs from their parent
+rule's `primary_party` (excluding `court` ↔ anything, which is
+trivial). All 39 are legitimate "ball-in-other-court" hand-offs
+(claimant SoC → defendant SoD → claimant Reply → defendant Rejoinder
+…). The /follow-ups filter (§2.3 B1) hides all of them when the user
+picks a perspective.
+
+### 3.5 `is_court_set` coverage
+
+46 rules carry `is_court_set=true`. Distribution: every proceeding has
+at least one (the decision / order / oral-hearing rows). Highest:
+`de.inf.lg` (5), `epa.grant.exa` (4), `upc.apl.unified` (4),
+`upc.inf.cfi` (3), `upc.rev.cfi` (3), `upc.pi.cfi` (3), `upc.dmgs.cfi`
+(3). Calculator skips these in date math — they surface as
+"wird vom Gericht bestimmt" markers.
+
+### 3.6 Legacy `trigger_event_id` overlap with `parent_id`
+
+| Combination | Rows |
+|---|--:|
+| `parent_id` set AND `trigger_event_id` set | **2** |
+| `parent_id` set AND `trigger_event_id` NULL | 105 |
+| `parent_id` NULL AND `trigger_event_id` set | 73 |
+| `parent_id` NULL AND `trigger_event_id` NULL | 46 |
+
+**Overlap is 2 rules out of 226 (0.9%).** The two models are
+effectively **disjoint** in the corpus: the 73 legacy globals own the
+`trigger_event_id` lane; the 105 chain-linked rules own `parent_id`.
+The schema permits both columns to be set simultaneously, and 2 rules
+exercise that — but they are outliers, not a documented pattern.
+
+The legacy `paliad.trigger_events` table is still read for label
+display by `deadline_rule_service.go:226-285` (the "abhängig von …"
+chip rule fallback when `parent_id` isn't set) and for the legacy
+`/api/tools/event-deadlines` route.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Editorial gap map
+
+Per `proceeding_type` (active, kind=`proceeding`). Columns:
+
+- **A** = active+published rules
+- **P** = rules with `parent_id` set
+- **R** = rules without `parent_id` (roots + leaves with missing parent)
+- **E** = active+published events whose code matches this PT's
+  prefix
+
+| PT code | A | P | R | E | Health |
+|---|--:|--:|--:|--:|---|
+| `upc.inf.cfi` | 25 | 21 | 4 | 25 | 84% chained — strongest |
+| `upc.rev.cfi` | 17 | 13 | 4 | 17 | 76% |
+| `upc.apl.unified` | 16 | 10 | 6 | 16 † | 63% — code-prefix issue, see below |
+| `de.null.bpatg` | 10 | 6 | 4 | 10 | 60% |
+| `de.inf.lg` | 9 | 4 | 5 | 9 | 44% — gappy |
+| `epa.opp.opd` | 8 | 6 | 2 | 8 | 75% |
+| `epa.opp.boa` | 8 | 5 | 3 | 8 | 63% |
+| `de.inf.bgh` | 8 | 7 | 1 | 8 | 88% |
+| `upc.dmgs.cfi` | 8 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 50% |
+| `upc.pi.cfi` | 7 | 4 | 3 | 7 | 57% |
+| `de.inf.olg` | 7 | 6 | 1 | 7 | 86% |
+| `epa.grant.exa` | 7 | 3 | 4 | 7 | 43% |
+| `de.null.bgh` | 6 | 5 | 1 | 6 | 83% |
+| `dpma.appeal.bpatg` | 5 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 80% |

+| `dpma.opp.dpma` | 4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 75% |
+| `upc.disc.cfi` | 4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 75% |

+| `upc.epo.review` | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **unruled** |
+| `upc.pl.cfi` | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **unruled** |
+
+† `upc.apl.unified` (id=160) is the active type, but its 16 events
+retain the *legacy* code prefixes `upc.apl.{merits,cost,order}.*`
+from the pre-unification taxonomy. The rules' `proceeding_type_id`
+was rebound to 160; the event codes were not renamed. Functional but
+inconsistent — see R3.
+
+**Events with no rule:** 0. Every active+published event has at least
+one rule (corpus is 1:1 since mig 136). Editorial gap is therefore
+parent-chain-shaped, not rule-coverage-shaped.
+
+**Unmatched-prefix events:** 69 events with `code LIKE 'null.%'`. They
+have rules (the 73 legacy globals — note the disparity: 73 rules but
+69 events, because dedupe in mig 151 collapsed some duplicates while
+the rules still point at the canonical event). They do not belong to
+any proceeding_type and never will under the current taxonomy.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Risk register
+
+Eleven items. Each: what, where, severity. Severity scale:
+**critical** (user-visible incorrect output / data loss possible) →
+**high** (user-visible UX lie, no data corruption) → **medium**
+(developer-trap; breaks at next refactor) → **low** (cosmetic / dead
+code, deferred maintenance).
+
+### R1 — Cross-party follow-up filter drops legitimate hand-offs — **high**
+
+- Where: `internal/services/fristenrechner_followups.go:358-367`.
+- Effect: with `party=claimant|defendant`, 39 active rules are hidden
+  because their `primary_party` is the *other* side. Result-view
+  reports "Keine Folge-Fristen" on chains that continue cross-party
+  (e.g. `def_to_ccr` claimant-filed → `reply_def_ccr` defendant-filed
+  in `upc.inf.cfi`).
+- Impact: UX lies to users about chain completion; can lead to missed
+  deadlines on the opposing side's view.
+
+### R2 — Picker accepts spawn-only and leaf events — **high**
+
+- Where: `internal/services/fristenrechner_followups.go:241-287` (anchor
+  resolution does not check chain-anchor status); `internal/services/fristenrechner_search_events.go`
+  (search returns every event).
+- Effect: Picking `upc.{inf,rev,pi,dmgs}.cfi.appeal_spawn` (spawn-only)
+  shows the spawn rule itself but no follow-ups → "Keine Folge-Fristen".
+  Picking a leaf event (e.g. `upc.inf.cfi.def_to_ccr`) only reaches
+  whatever hop-1 children exist on the leaf's own party, see R1.
+- 67/222 active events are chain-anchors. Today's picker shows all
+  222 with equal weight.
+
+### R3 — 4 spawn rules point at an inactive `proceeding_type` — **high**
+
+- Where: 4 rows in `paliad.sequencing_rules` with `is_spawn=true`
+  and `spawn_proceeding_type_id=11` (`upc.apl.merits`, `is_active=false`).
+  The active appeal type is id=160 (`upc.apl.unified`).
+- Effect: any consumer that joins on `spt.is_active=true` (none today,
+  but the moment any does) returns NULL for the spawn target. Today
+  the join is permissive (`fristenrechner_followups.go:394`) — it
+  returns `upc.apl.merits` to the frontend, which may surface as a
+  CTA pointing at a stale type slug.
+- Plus consequence: `upc.apl.unified` events kept legacy code prefixes
+  `upc.apl.{merits,cost,order}.*` even though the type rebinds to 160.
+  Code/PT mismatch is harmless today; trap for any future code-prefix
+  routing.
+
+### R4 — 73 "global" legacy rules orphan from the chain model — **medium**
+
+- Where: `paliad.sequencing_rules WHERE proceeding_type_id IS NULL AND trigger_event_id IS NOT NULL` (73 rows). Anchored on `null.<8hex>`
+  procedural_events (69 distinct events, 73 rules — small overlap from
+  pre-dedupe history).
+- Effect: invisible to Mode B (proceeding-type ablauf) because they
+  don't bind to any PT; visible to the legacy bigint route
+  `/api/tools/event-deadlines` and to /admin/procedural-events.
+- Migration debt: any "deprecate `trigger_event_id`" plan must decide
+  whether to (a) reparent these onto a PT + parent chain, (b) keep them
+  as floating cross-cutting rules in a separate lane, or (c) drop them.
+
+### R5 — Legacy `paliad.trigger_events` table is read by 5 surfaces — **medium**
+
+- Where:
+  - `internal/services/deadline_rule_service.go:226-285` — bulk-load for
+    "abhängig von …" chip label fallback.
+  - `internal/services/event_deadline_service.go:79,244` — legacy
+    `/api/tools/event-deadlines` route.
+  - `internal/services/event_type_service.go:40-414` — Pipeline-C event
+    types bridge (`event_types.trigger_event_id`).
+  - `internal/services/export_service.go:1680` — `ref__trigger_events`
+    workbook sheet.
+  - `cmd/gen-upc-snapshot/main.go:185-202` — UPC offline snapshot for
+    youpc.org.
+- Effect: 110-row catalog with bigint PK lives alongside the 222 active
+  procedural_events (UUID PK). Two ID spaces, two label sources,
+  partial overlap.
+
+### R6 — Three scenario stores: 0 rows each, but 3 live read/write paths — **medium**
+
+- Stores: `paliad.project_event_choices` (0 rows), `paliad.scenarios`
+  (0 rows), DOM state on Verfahrensablauf checkboxes.
+- Paths:
+  - `EventChoiceService` (`internal/services/event_choice_service.go:15-180`)
+    reads + writes the table.
+  - `ScenarioService.LoadScenarios` + handlers
+    (`internal/services/fristenrechner.go:583-627`, `internal/handlers/scenarios.go:14-200+`)
+    read + write the table.
+  - Verfahrensablauf result view writes nothing back — DOM only.
+- Effect today: nothing — empty tables. Effect tomorrow: the moment any
+  surface starts persisting, the three paths can diverge. The RFC
+  (§"What's actually broken" item 3) calls out the symptom: toggling
+  "Mit Widerklage" on Verfahrensablauf doesn't drive conditional
+  checkboxes in result-view submission cards.
+
+### R7 — 6 active `proceeding_types` are entirely unruled — **medium**
+
+- Where: `upc.bsv.cfi`, `upc.ccr.cfi`, `upc.costs.cfi`, `upc.dni.cfi`,
+  `upc.epo.review`, `upc.pl.cfi`. All `is_active=true`, `kind='proceeding'`,
+  0 active+published rules, 0 events with their code prefix.
+- Effect: pickable on `/api/tools/proceeding-types`, bindable on
+  `paliad.projects.proceeding_type_id` (mig 153 only rejects non-
+  proceeding kind, not zero-rule). Binding succeeds → SmartTimeline +
+  Mode B render an empty result. UX lies.
+
+### R8 — `condition_expr` is freeform jsonb — **medium**
+
+- Where: column declaration in mig 136; consumer in
+  `deadline_rule_service.go` (selected + passed to engine in
+  `pkg/litigationplanner/engine.go`); writer in
+  `internal/services/rule_editor_service.go:625-843` (no validation).
+- Effect: 4 distinct shapes used today, 3 keys (`flag`, `op`, `args`).
+  No write-time validation. New keys can be silently added; the
+  engine consumes by switching on string literals. Refactor trap.
+
+### R9 — Inactive `proceeding_types` rows linger (23) — **low**
+
+- Where: mig 153 flipped 4 phase + 10 side_action + 9 meta rows to
+  `is_active=false`. They still exist for audit.
+- Effect: snapshots and snapshots-of-snapshots
+  (`proceeding_types_pre_153`, `procedural_events_pre_151`,
+  `sequencing_rules_pre_151/_pre_152`) accumulate without a decay
+  policy. Storage cost is trivial; query-shape cost is real if any
+  query forgets `WHERE kind='proceeding' AND is_active=true`.
+
+### R10 — `event_kind` is nullable + not enumerated in DB — **low**
+
+- Where: `paliad.procedural_events.event_kind text NULL`. Code at
+  `frontend/src/admin-rules-edit.tsx:187` lists `filing / hearing /
+  decision / order` in the UI but the DB accepts anything.
+- Effect: drift between UI vocab and persisted values is possible.
+  Currently 5 buckets: `filing`, `hearing`, `decision`, `order`, NULL
+  (per RFC).
+
+### R11 — `applies_to_target` + `choices_offered` lack a schema — **low**
+
+- Where: `paliad.sequencing_rules.applies_to_target text[]`,
+  `choices_offered jsonb`.
+- Effect: 16 rules use `applies_to_target`, 28 use `choices_offered`.
+  Three observed `choices_offered` shapes: `{appellant:[…]}` (20),
+  `{skip:[…]}` (6), `{include_ccr:[…]}` (2). Wire-level convention,
+  no documentation. New shapes silently land if a future editor
+  decides on one.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Recommendation — order of operations for the inventor
+
+Phase 2 design starts with the highest-stakes, hardest-to-rewind
+decisions and finishes with editorial/cleanup. Each step is a
+question for m, not a design choice for the inventor.
+
+### Tier 1 — model decisions (grill first)
+
+1. **Trigger semantics.** Keep `parent_id` as the canonical link?
+   What is the role of `trigger_event_id` after this RFC ships? If
+   deprecated, what happens to the 73 legacy globals (R4) — reparent
+   onto PTs, keep as a separate "cross-cutting" lane, or drop?
+2. **Trigger discoverability.** Derive from data (events that
+   parent ≥1 rule = 67 today), maintain a materialised view, or carry
+   an explicit `is_trigger` flag on `procedural_events`? Affects R2.
+3. **Scenario state — single home.** Of the three stores in R6, which
+   wins? Migration shape for the others? The RFC mis-spoke about
+   `projects.scenarios jsonb` — the table is `paliad.scenarios` with
+   a `spec` jsonb column (mig 145). Confirm which storage the inventor
+   reasons from.
+4. **Cross-party display semantics.** Backend stops filtering,
+   frontend groups by side? Or backend tags + frontend renders an
+   "andere Partei" group? Affects R1.
+
+### Tier 2 — surface decisions
+
+5. **Spawn → consequence-only events.** Stop surfacing spawn-only
+   events in the picker (R2), or keep them and tag visually?
+6. **Re-target the 4 spawn rules** (R3) — point at id=160 vs reseed
+   legacy ids; align event code prefixes vs. accept the mismatch.
+7. **Sequence-from-proceeding-type view** (Entry A). Where does it
+   live? How do its toggles persist to the chosen scenario store?
+8. **Legacy `/api/tools/event-deadlines` deprecation** (R5). Drop,
+   redirect, or keep behind a flag during transition?
+
+### Tier 3 — editorial + cleanup
+
+9. **Editorial backfill plan.** Which of the 119 parent-NULL rules
+   are real roots vs. unseeded leaves (a per-PT walkthrough by m).
+10. **Empty proceeding_types** (R7). Stub with placeholder rules, or
+    hide from the picker until rules land?
+11. **`condition_expr` formalisation** (R8). Pick a grammar, document
+    it, add write-time validation. Same question for `choices_offered`
+    + `applies_to_target` (R11).
+12. **Legacy `trigger_events` table fate.** Drop, archive, or
+    repurpose? Depends on Q1 + Q2 above.
+
+The inventor should grill m on Tier 1 before sketching anything.
+Tier 2 follows from Tier 1's decisions. Tier 3 is mechanical once
+Tier 1+2 land.

+
+**Task:** t-paliad-329
+**Gitea:** m/paliad#149 (Phase 2)
+**Inventor:** atlas (shift-1)
+**Date:** 2026-05-27
+**Status:** Draft — coder gate held; awaiting m's go on the slice train
+**Branch:** `mai/atlas/inventor-deadline-system`
+
+**Builds on:**
+- `docs/assessment-deadline-system-2026-05-27.md` (athena Phase 1, 738 lines — premises here are athena's)
+- `docs/design-fristenrechner-followup-rules-2026-05-27.md` (atlas t-paliad-327, pre-ratified subset: cross-party display + scenario SSoT + spawn-only picker exclusion)

+
+m authorised Phase 2 at 2026-05-27 11:33 ("Go on"). m's "big picture" direction at 13:53 ("yeah, b - big! We need an overall schema for all procedural events and how they are connected") makes the connection graph itself the spine of this design.
+
+---
+
+## §0 Premises — reconciliation with athena's audit
+
+Athena established the live data; this design takes that as given. Three cross-checks ran 2026-05-27 against the live `paliad` schema; counts match athena's §0/§3 numbers (chain-linked 107 / PT-roots 46 / legacy globals 73 / overlap 2). The only material refinement is athena's R3 finding ("4 spawn rules point at INACTIVE id=11") — which m's Q5 answer now re-interprets as **correct** rather than broken (see §3.1).
+
+### §0.1 The athena↔RFC conflicts surfaced
+
+| Item | RFC said | Athena found | Picked side |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Scenario state shape | "`projects.scenarios` jsonb (mig 145)" exists | `paliad.scenarios` table exists; `projects.scenarios` jsonb does **not** | Athena. Use new `projects.scenario_flags jsonb` column (Q4) — different from both. |
+| Three stores diverge | "Three independent stores. No single source of truth." | All three stores empty (0 rows in `project_event_choices`, 0 in `scenarios`, DOM-only). Risk dormant. | Athena. Design picks one store going forward; nothing to migrate. |
+| Spawn FK is "broken" | Implied | Athena R3: 4 spawn rules point at inactive `upc.apl.merits`. | m's Q5 inverts: the unification was the bug, not the FK. Re-split apl into merits/cost/order (§3.1). |
+
+### §0.2 The pre-ratified subset from t-paliad-327
+
+m ratified the following on 2026-05-27 (via `AskUserQuestion`, all on-recommendation in that task) — Phase 2 carries them forward unchanged:
+
+- Cross-party display: backend stops filtering by party, `is_cross_party` derived field, "Gegenseitig" badge, muted/greyed visual, unchecked default, write-back excluded unconditionally. (Folded into §2.4.)
+- Scenario flag SSoT: `paliad.projects.scenario_flags jsonb` column + GET/PATCH `/api/projects/{id}/scenario-flags`. (Folded into §2.3.)
+- Spawn-only event picker exclusion: `SearchEvents` SQL adds `AND sr.is_spawn = false`. (Folded into §2.2.)
+
+These are not re-asked. They are the foundation Phase 2 builds on.
+
+---
+
+## §1 The overall connection schema (m's "big picture")
+
+Per m's direction: document the canonical connection graph across all procedural_events + sequencing_rules + proceeding_types as a unified model.
+
+### §1.1 Conceptual model in one paragraph
+
+A **rule** (`paliad.sequencing_rules` row) is the atomic node. It carries one deadline for one event, on one proceeding-type. Every rule has at most one **predecessor edge** via `parent_id` → another rule whose own deadline must elapse before this one starts. The chain root (rule with `parent_id IS NULL`) is anchored to its **proceeding-type root event** (typically a filing — Klageerhebung, Veröffentlichung, Anmeldung). A small number of rules are **spawn rules** (`is_spawn=true`) — they don't compute their own deadline; instead they open a fresh proceeding of a different type, edge labelled by `spawn_proceeding_type_id`. Conditional rules carry a `condition_expr` jsonb predicate over a small flag vocabulary (`with_ccr`, `with_amend`, `with_cci`); the active subset of the graph for a given project is the rules whose predicate is satisfied by `projects.scenario_flags`. **The only canonical predecessor link is `parent_id`. The `trigger_event_id` column is deprecated** (Q1). Trigger discoverability is **derived from data**: any event whose anchor rule has `EXISTS (non-spawn child WHERE child.parent_id = anchor.id)` is a valid trigger; everything else (spawn-only consequences, terminal leaves) is filtered out at the picker (Q3, §2.2).
+
+### §1.2 The shape — ASCII tree per representative PT
+
+Showing 3 representative PTs (the rest follow the same structural pattern; counts in §1.4).
+
+#### upc.inf.cfi (25 rules, depth 5, the densest tree)
+

+
+The 3 trees are independent. Determinator UX (proceeding_mapping.go) keeps a single user-facing "Berufung" entry that fans out to one of the 3 based on what's being appealed (judgment → merits, cost decision → cost, order → order). Routing layer unchanged from t-paliad-204 S1; only the data shape changes.
+
+The remaining 14 ruled PTs (de.inf.lg / .olg / .bgh, de.null.bpatg / .bgh, dpma.opp / .appeal.bpatg / .bgh, epa.opp.opd / .opp.boa / .grant.exa, upc.dmgs.cfi, upc.disc.cfi, upc.pi.cfi) follow the same shape — root anchored on a filing/grant event, chain depth 1-3, optionals and conditionals branching off the root or first-hop. Athena's §4 gap map gives the per-PT P/R counts; see also §1.4 below.

+
+4 spawn edges, all in the UPC CFI cluster. PI appeals go to the orders track (not main proceedings); the rest go to merits. The cost-decision-appeal track (`upc.apl.cost`) is reached not via spawn but via direct filing (`leave_app` rule); cost decisions arrive within their parent proceeding and the cost-appeal opens as a standalone application.
+
+DE-side, EPA-side, DPMA-side: no spawn edges today. Each tier-of-court is a separate `proceeding_type` (de.inf.lg / .olg / .bgh) with its own root + chain; chained-by-instance is not modelled as a spawn (the user explicitly creates a new project for the appeal stage). m may revisit this if DE-side workflow benefits from spawn edges; out of scope for this revision.

+
+Plus **73 legacy globals** sitting in the corpus with `proceeding_type_id IS NULL` — these are the editorial backfill target (Q2 / §4.2). Each needs to be reparented onto one of the 23 PTs.
+
+---
+
+## §2 Tier 1 — model decisions (m ratified all 4 on-recommendation)
+
+### §2.1 `parent_id` is the canonical predecessor link
+
+`paliad.sequencing_rules.parent_id` (uuid FK to another rule) is the **only** predecessor pointer going forward. `paliad.sequencing_rules.trigger_event_id` (bigint FK to legacy `paliad.trigger_events`) gets dropped at the end of the migration train (§5).
+
+**Implication for the 75 rules that currently use `trigger_event_id`:**
+
+- The 73 legacy globals (proceeding_type_id IS NULL): editorial walk reparents each onto a real PT chain (Q2, §4.2). Slow but right — no data is lost, just structurally normalised.
+- The 2 hybrid rules (both parent_id AND trigger_event_id set): keep `parent_id`, NULL out `trigger_event_id`. No data loss — `parent_id` already carries the live edge.
+
+After backfill, `trigger_event_id` is unused — safe to drop the column (§5, Mig P4).
+
+### §2.2 Trigger discoverability — derive from data
+
+A `procedural_event` is a **picker-eligible trigger** when EXISTS a published+active non-spawn rule with `parent_id` pointing at this event's anchor rule. The picker SQL gains:
+
+```sql
+WHERE EXISTS (
+  SELECT 1 FROM paliad.sequencing_rules child
+   WHERE child.parent_id = anchor.id
+     AND child.is_active = true
+     AND child.lifecycle_state = 'published'
+     AND child.is_spawn = false  -- spawn-only consequences not pickable (t-paliad-327 §3a)
+)
+```
+
+No new column. No materialised view. The EXISTS subquery uses the existing `sequencing_rules.parent_id` index. At today's scale (226 rules) it's cheap; at 10× scale still fine (parent_id is indexed; child lookup is index-only scan).
+
+Mode A's `SearchEvents` (`internal/services/fristenrechner_search_events.go`) and Mode B R4's chip-strip both apply this filter. Terminal leaves (Duplik etc.) stay pickable — they have a non-spawn anchor rule and result in an empty follow-up list, which is honest UX (t-paliad-327 §3a.4, m ratified).
+
+### §2.3 Scenario state SSoT — `projects.scenario_flags jsonb`
+
+Reconfirmed from t-paliad-327 §3.2:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE paliad.projects
+  ADD COLUMN scenario_flags jsonb NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}'::jsonb;
+```
+
+Shape:
+```json
+{ "with_ccr": true, "with_amend": false, "with_cci": false }
+```
+
+Whitelist-validated against the set of flag names appearing in `sequencing_rules.condition_expr` (today: `with_ccr`, `with_amend`, `with_cci`).
+
+API: `GET /api/projects/{id}/scenario-flags` returns the map; `PATCH /api/projects/{id}/scenario-flags` accepts partial deltas (null deletes a key).
+
+**Kontextfrei (no project):** stays on localStorage. No DB writes when `project_id IS NULL`.
+
+**Relationship with `paliad.scenarios`:** complementary, not duplicate. `scenarios.spec.flags[]` (the Litigation Planner Slice D shape) is a *named snapshot*; activating a scenario copies its flag array into `projects.scenario_flags`. Live edits write to `scenario_flags`. `paliad.project_event_choices` (the legacy empty table) is deprecated (§4.3).
+
+### §2.4a Selection state + detail-level view-mode filter
+
+m's reframe (14:40): the real ask isn't "rarity" — it's **detail-level control over the timeline**. Every event/rule is a card; the user picks which optional cards belong to *their* scenario; the Verfahrensablauf has a view-mode toggle that controls how much of the picture surfaces.
+
+m's quote (14:40): *"It is more that I want a grade of detail in our swimlane display […] I want to show them but also be able to 'focus' by not displaying optional things. And we can select these options somehow, for example like we do with the appeal in the Decision dropdown. And if none is selected, none are displayed. We need an option 'Show unselected options' or 'show only selected' or 'mandatory' […] It would be great to basically filter events from the timeline based on whether they are selected in this scenario."*
+
+The underlying mental model:
+
+- **Mandatory rules** are always in the scenario. They render in every view-mode. The user cannot deselect them.
+- **Recommended rules** are *selected by default* in the scenario. The user can deselect them.
+- **Optional rules** are *not selected by default*. The user opts in via the same UI mechanism that already exists for `with_ccr` / `with_amend` (a chip / dropdown / "Aufnehmen" CTA per rule).
+- **Conditional rules** (with `condition_expr`) are gated by scenario flags first, then by selection (a conditional rule whose flag is on still respects its priority's default selection rule).
+
+The Verfahrensablauf gets a three-way **detail-level toggle** (§3.3a):
+
+- **Nur Pflicht (Mandatory only)** — only `priority='mandatory'` cards.
+- **Gewählt (Selected)** — mandatory + every rule the scenario has explicitly selected. Default.
+- **Alle Optionen (All considered)** — every rule that *could* belong, including unselected optionals (rendered with a dotted border + "Aufnehmen" CTA) and conditional rules whose flag isn't set (rendered greyed with a "wenn-…" hint).
+
+#### Schema — no new column on `sequencing_rules`
+
+The original §2.4a strawman proposed `is_edge_case boolean` as a chain-head flag. m's reframe makes that wrong: **every** optional rule is potentially "rare" depending on the lawyer's scenario; the dimension isn't a property of the rule, it's a property of the scenario.
+
+Instead, the selection state lives entirely in **`projects.scenario_flags jsonb`** (already on the table from P0, §2.3) with an extended shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "with_ccr": true,
+  "with_amend": false,
+  "with_cci": false,
+  "rule:<uuid_of_recommended_X>": false,
+  "rule:<uuid_of_optional_Y>": true
+}
+```
+
+The flat-map shape stays — entries are either named scenario flags (`with_*`) or per-rule selection deviations (`rule:<uuid>`). Storage only carries **deviations from the priority default**:
+- `priority='recommended'` is selected-by-default; `rule:X = false` records an explicit deselection.
+- `priority='optional'` is unselected-by-default; `rule:X = true` records an explicit selection.
+- `priority='mandatory'` is always selected; trying to store `rule:X = false` is rejected (422 from the PATCH endpoint).
+
+Whitelist (Q9 catalog) gains a wildcard pattern `rule:<uuid>` — any well-formed UUID matches; the handler validates that the UUID resolves to an active+published rule on the project's proceeding_type before persisting.
+
+Kontextfrei (no project): localStorage stores the same shape under a per-PT key (`scenario:upc.inf.cfi`). Different PT → different stored selection set; this matches how kontextfrei users explore.
+
+#### Visual — generalising the CCR dropdown to per-rule chips
+
+The existing `with_ccr` / `with_amend` checkboxes are *coarse* scenario flags. The new per-rule selection is *fine-grained* but uses the same UI vocabulary:
+
+- **Selected rule**: solid card, normal background. (Identical to today's mandatory render.)
+- **Selected optional that's deselectable**: solid card with a small `[Entfernen]` chip; click removes from `selected_optionals` (writes `rule:X = false`).
+- **Unselected optional (default state in "Alle Optionen" mode)**: dotted-border card, muted background, `[Aufnehmen]` CTA. Click writes `rule:X = true`.
+- **Conditional rule whose flag isn't set**: greyed card with a "Aktivieren via 'Mit Widerklage' im Szenario" hint; clicking the hint scrolls to the scenario-flags strip.
+- **Cross-party** (§2.4): orthogonal — applies its `Gegenseitig` badge and muted style on top of whichever state above.
+
+Each card thus carries up to four orthogonal axes of display state — priority, selection, conditional-gate, cross-party. The 4 axes compose; no axis dominates.
+
+#### Subtree semantics — implicit via parent chain
+
+When a chain head is deselected (e.g. R.109.1 Übersetzungsantrag = `false`), its descendants in the parent_id tree (R.109.4 Mitteilung etc.) **inherit the deselected state for display** without needing their own entries in `selected_optionals`. The tree renderer walks the chain; if any ancestor is unselected, the descendant doesn't render in "Gewählt" mode. In "Alle Optionen" mode, the whole subtree renders greyed under the deselected head.
+
+If a descendant has its own explicit `rule:X = true` entry, that overrides the ancestor — the user has explicitly pulled this leaf into their scenario despite not selecting the parent. Edge case; documented but no special UI affordance.
+
+#### Default population on project creation
+
+When a project is created with `proceeding_type_id = X`, the server seeds `scenario_flags = {}`. Nothing in the map. The tree renderer computes per-rule selection on-the-fly from priority + scenario_flags entries. No upfront write-storm of "rule:X = true" for every recommended rule — only deviations land in storage.
+
+#### Why this beats the `is_edge_case` boolean
+
+- **No new column.** All state lives in the existing `projects.scenario_flags jsonb` from P0.
+- **Generalised.** Every optional rule is selectable, not just the few flagged as "rare". m's "sequence density is very high" complaint is solved by the user controlling which optionals belong to *their* scenario, rather than the editorial process having to decide globally which rules deserve dotted-border treatment.
+- **Composable with condition_expr.** A conditional rule is selectable when its flag is on; the selection state is independent of the flag state.
+- **Matches m's stated UX prior art.** The CCR dropdown pattern *is* the model; we're just generalising it from 3 named flags to N per-rule selections.
+
+### §2.4 Cross-party display
+
+From t-paliad-327 §2 (m ratified on-recommendation all 8 sub-Qs):
+
+- Backend: drop the perspective WHERE clause in `queryFollowUpRows`; return all rows; add server-computed `is_cross_party` boolean.
+- UI: render cross-party rows with a `Gegenseitig` badge, muted/greyed style, unchecked by default, date visible.
+- Write-back: cross-party rows are **unconditionally excluded** from the project-deadline bulk insert, even if the user manually checks the box.
+
+Composite `condition_expr` (and-of-flags) — checkbox is read-only in the result view; Verfahrensablauf is the canonical toggle surface for individual flags.
+
+Sync: `document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('scenario-flag-changed', { detail: { flag, value } }))`. Single-tab v1; cross-tab in Akte mode deferred.
+

+
+## §3 Tier 2 — surface decisions
+
+### §3.1 Appeal re-split: revert upc.apl.unified → merits/cost/order (m's Q5 divergent pick)
+
+**m's call (2026-05-27):** *"Reverse the unification as suggested in 3. They are different proceedings, I only wanted the approach to be unified in the 'determinator' — but they are actually different proceedings!"*
+
+The current state (mig 096 unified the appeal track):
+- id=160 `upc.apl.unified` is `is_active=true`, holds 16 rules.
+- id=11 `upc.apl.merits` is `is_active=false`.
+- id=19 `upc.apl.cost` is `is_active=false`.
+- id=20 `upc.apl.order` is `is_active=false`.
+- 4 spawn rules point at id=11 (inactive) — looks like the R3 bug but is actually correctly aimed at merits since cost+order arrive differently (athena R3 partially mis-classified the situation).
+- Event codes already carry the split prefix: `upc.apl.{merits,cost,order}.*`. 16 events split cleanly into 7 merits + 2 cost + 7 order.
+
+The migration:
+
+```sql
+-- Mig P1: re-activate the three discrete appeal PTs and retire the unified row.
+UPDATE paliad.proceeding_types SET is_active = true WHERE id IN (11, 19, 20);

+   SET proceeding_type_id = 11

+
+-- 4 spawn FKs: stay at id=11 (merits) for inf/rev/dmgs; update upc.pi.cfi's

+ );
+-- The other 3 spawn rules (inf/rev/dmgs) keep spawn_proceeding_type_id = 11
+-- (correct after re-activation).
+```

+**Determinator UX preserved.** `internal/services/proceeding_mapping.go` (t-paliad-204 S1) keeps its single "Berufung" front door. The mapping fans out to id=11/19/20 based on what's being appealed (judgment / cost decision / order). No user-facing routing change. The change is purely structural.
+
+**Active scenarios / projects pointing at id=160:** none (`paliad.scenarios` and `paliad.projects.active_scenario_id` both empty per athena §0; only 6 projects have any `proceeding_type_id` set and none of them is 160). Zero data migration on the project side.
+
+### §3.2 Empty PTs — show with "Keine Regeln gepflegt" badge
+
+Per m's Q6 — option 2 with a follow-on editorial note ("We need to publish rules then... but yeah, show with the badge for now"):
+
+Picker query for `/api/tools/proceeding-types` gains a flag-not-filter:
+
+```sql
+SELECT pt.*,
+       EXISTS (
+         SELECT 1 FROM paliad.sequencing_rules sr
+          WHERE sr.proceeding_type_id = pt.id
+            AND sr.is_active AND sr.lifecycle_state = 'published'
+       ) AS has_rules
+  FROM paliad.proceeding_types pt
+ WHERE pt.is_active AND pt.kind = 'proceeding';
+```
+
+Frontend renders the chip with a muted/disabled treatment + badge "Keine Regeln gepflegt" when `has_rules = false`. Project creation can still bind to an empty PT (admin override), but Mode A/B/Verfahrensablauf surface a clear "this proceeding has no seeded rules yet" message.
+
+Editorial follow-up: m publishes rules for the 6 empty PTs (`upc.bsv.cfi`, `upc.ccr.cfi`, `upc.costs.cfi`, `upc.dni.cfi`, `upc.epo.review`, `upc.pl.cfi`) over time; each new published rule auto-removes the badge for its PT. Not blocking this design.
+
+### §3.3 Entry A — extend /tools/verfahrensablauf
+
+Per m's Q7. The existing `/tools/verfahrensablauf` page (used by `frontend/src/client/verfahrensablauf.ts` + shared `views/verfahrensablauf-core.ts`) already serves the pick-a-PT shape. Extend it to:
+
+- Render the parent_id chain as a **collapsible tree** (top-down chronological). Same data shape as §1.2's ASCII trees.
+- Expose **optionals + conditionals as toggleable checkboxes** in the tree itself. Ticking writes via `PATCH /api/projects/{id}/scenario-flags` (Akte mode) or localStorage (kontextfrei).
+- Reflect cross-party rows with the same muted style as §2.4 (Gegenseitig badge).
+- Spawn rows render as **leaf with edge annotation** (⇲ Berufungsverfahren öffnen) and a "create child case" CTA in Akte mode.
+- Optionally: a "Zur Frist-Ansicht" deeplink on each tree node → opens Mode B Fristenrechner with that event pre-locked as the trigger.
+
+Backend: extend `/api/tools/fristenrechner` (the proceeding-type fan-out endpoint) to return a tree-shaped payload (`parent_id` resolved into nested children). New handler param or new endpoint `/api/tools/verfahrensablauf/tree?proceeding_type_code=X&project=Y`.
+
+The legacy `/tools/fristenrechner?legacy=1` Procedure-mode page deprecates naturally — same scope, replaced by this Entry A view.
+
+### §3.3a Verfahrensablauf view-mode toggle
+
+A three-way segmented control above the tree at the Verfahrensablauf surface:
+
+```
+┌─ Anzeige ──────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ ( ) Nur Pflicht   (•) Gewählt   ( ) Alle Optionen │
+└────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Behaviour:
+- **Nur Pflicht**: only `priority='mandatory'` cards render. Tightest view.
+- **Gewählt** (default): mandatory + every rule that resolves to "selected" given current scenario state (mandatory always; recommended unless explicitly deselected via `rule:X = false`; optional only if explicitly selected via `rule:X = true`; conditional only if its flag predicate holds AND the priority-default-or-deviation puts it in the selected set). Honest summary of what *this* lawyer has chosen for *this* project.
+- **Alle Optionen**: everything that could belong, with unselected optionals rendered with the dotted-border + `[Aufnehmen]` CTA, and conditional rules whose flag isn't set rendered greyed with the activation hint.
+
+**Persistence**: per-user, per-browser via `localStorage` under key `verfahrensablauf:view_mode`. Not project-scoped — the same user looking at two different projects probably wants the same verbosity. Not in `scenario_flags` either — view-mode is a UI preference, not a scenario fact. No new schema; no API; no migration.
+
+Cross-surface sync: the **Mode B result view** does NOT carry its own view-mode toggle. It always renders in "Gewählt" semantics (mandatory + selected). Rationale: Mode B locks a single trigger event and lists its follow-ups; the lawyer isn't browsing the full ablauf, they're focused on one moment. The view-mode toggle is a Verfahrensablauf-only affordance.
+
+The view-mode toggle composes with the scenario-flags strip (§2.3). Toggling "Mit Widerklage auf Nichtigkeit" off in "Gewählt" mode removes the CCR conditional branch from view; flipping to "Alle Optionen" re-renders the CCR branch greyed with the activation hint. The user can see what they're *not* currently considering without losing the simplified default view.
+
+### §3.4 Legacy `/api/tools/event-deadlines` deprecation
+
+Per m's Q8. Sequence:
+
+1. **Mig P3 — 73-globals reparenting completes** (§4.2, editorial work). Once `paliad.sequencing_rules WHERE proceeding_type_id IS NULL` is empty, the legacy route has no live data shape it uniquely serves.
+2. **Code drop:** remove `/api/tools/event-deadlines` route + `EventDeadlineService` + the `deadline_rule_service.go:226-285` label-fallback path + the `ExportService:1680` workbook sheet.
+3. **Table drop:** `DROP TABLE paliad.trigger_events` (mig P4, §4.3).
+4. **Snapshot generator:** `cmd/gen-upc-snapshot/main.go` stops reading `paliad.trigger_events`; UPC snapshot for youpc.org only carries the unified rule shape.
+
+The cleanup is gated on §4.2 completion. If editorial backfill is slow, the route can live behind a `/api/legacy/` prefix until done — but the design assumption is that we close the loop within the slice train.
+
+---
+
+## §4 Tier 3 — editorial + cleanup framework
+
+### §4.1 `condition_expr` grammar formalisation
+
+Per m's Q9. The grammar:
+
+```ts
+type CondExpr =
+  | { flag: KnownFlag }                                 // leaf
+  | { op: 'and' | 'or'; args: CondExpr[] }              // composite (recursive)
+
+type KnownFlag = 'with_ccr' | 'with_amend' | 'with_cci' // closed set; extensible via admin
+```
+
+Implementation:
+
+- A JSON-schema validator in `RuleEditorService.create`/`update` rejects writes that don't match. Today's 18 rules all conform; no data migration.
+- Known-flag whitelist sourced from a small Go constant + an admin-editable `paliad.scenario_flag_catalog(name, description, added_at)` table — keeps the vocabulary discoverable. (Lightweight ALTER, not a major migration.)
+- Engine consumer (`pkg/litigationplanner/expr.go`, currently a switch over string literals) gains exhaustive-case enforcement against the same catalog. Linter catches drift between catalog and engine.
+
+`choices_offered` and `applies_to_target` (athena R11) — same grammar treatment in a separate ticket (not blocking this revision). Document their 3 known shapes (`appellant`, `skip`, `include_ccr`) in code comments meanwhile.
+
+### §4.2 Editorial backfill workflow — `/admin/procedural-events` parent-NULL filter
+
+Per m's Q10:
+
+- Add filter chip "parent: nicht gesetzt" to the admin list at `/admin/procedural-events`. The filter URL `?parent_filter=null` (or similar).
+- Track completion per PT via the existing gap-map query (athena §3.1) — show as a progress bar in the admin shell ("upc.inf.cfi: 4/4 roots OK" / "de.inf.lg: 2/5 roots remain").
+- For the 73 globals: a separate filter `?orphan=true` showing only `proceeding_type_id IS NULL` rules. m clicks each, assigns a PT + parent rule via the editor.
+- Each save flips lifecycle_state to draft (unchanged from existing editor flow); m publishes a batch when satisfied with a PT.
+
+No new code surface — the existing admin list + editor handle everything once the filter is added.
+
+This is editorial work, not coder work. The design captures the framework; m drives the content at his own cadence. No mig is gated on completion (the parent-NULL filter is a feature add; rules stay valid in their current shape during the walk).
+
+#### §4.2.1 Worked editorial example — R.109 translation chain
+
+m flagged this case (14:35) as a concrete instance of malformed parent-chain shape. The current data for `upc.inf.cfi`:
+
+| rule | event | current parent | current primary_party | correct shape |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `RoP.109.1` | `upc.inf.cfi.translation_request` (Antrag auf Simultanübersetzung) | upc.inf.cfi root (Mündliche Verhandlung) | both | parent stays at MV; flagged optional (default-unselected) |
+| `RoP.109.4` | `upc.inf.cfi.interpreter_cost` (Mitteilung Dolmetscherkosten) | upc.inf.cfi root (Mündliche Verhandlung) — **WRONG** | court — **WRONG** | parent = R.109.1; primary_party = both (parties give the Mitteilung, not the court); condition_expr = `{"flag": "with_interpreter_denied"}` |
+| `RoP.109.5` | `upc.inf.cfi.translations_lodge` (Übersetzungen einreichen) | upc.inf.cfi root | both | parent = R.109.1 (lodging follows the request); priority stays mandatory but conditional via `{"flag": "with_translation_granted"}` |
+
+Two new scenario flags introduced (`with_interpreter_denied`, `with_translation_granted`) get added to the `scenario_flag_catalog` (§4.1) when the editor saves these rules.
+
+Editorial walk for m:
+1. Open `/admin/procedural-events?orphan=false&parent_filter=null&proceeding_type=upc.inf.cfi`.
+2. Find R.109.1, R.109.4, R.109.5 — they sit at depth 1 under the root.
+3. Edit R.109.4: set `parent_id = <R.109.1's id>`; set `primary_party = both`; set `condition_expr = {"flag": "with_interpreter_denied"}`. Save (draft).
+4. Edit R.109.5: set `parent_id = <R.109.1's id>`; set `condition_expr = {"flag": "with_translation_granted"}`. Save (draft).
+5. Publish both.
+6. The catalog accepts the two new flag names; the validator updates.
+
+Result in the Verfahrensablauf tree (post-fix):
+
+```
+upc.inf.cfi root
+├─ Mündliche Verhandlung (court · M)
+├─ Antrag auf Simultanübersetzung (RoP.109.1) [both · O]
+│  ├─ Mitteilung Dolmetscherkosten (RoP.109.4) [both · M · ?with_interpreter_denied]
+│  └─ Übersetzungen einreichen (RoP.109.5) [both · M · ?with_translation_granted]
+```
+
+In **Gewählt** mode without scenario flags: only the root + Mündliche Verhandlung surface. R.109.1 is an unselected optional → hidden. R.109.4 + R.109.5 are conditional + below an unselected ancestor → hidden.
+
+In **Gewählt** mode after the user clicks `[Aufnehmen]` on R.109.1: R.109.1 appears. R.109.4 still hidden (its flag `with_interpreter_denied` isn't set; the user would need to know the court denied the Antrag, then tick the flag in the Szenario-Flags strip). R.109.5 similarly hidden until `with_translation_granted` is on.
+
+In **Alle Optionen** mode: every rule renders, conditionals greyed with their flag hint, R.109.1 dotted with `[Aufnehmen]`.
+
+This is the model in miniature: the editorial fix is data-only (no schema change, just `parent_id` + `condition_expr` + `primary_party` UPDATEs via the editor); the display fix is policy that the existing scenario_flags + view-mode mechanism already supports.
+
+### §4.3 `paliad.trigger_events` table fate — drop
+
+Per m's Q11. Sequence (chained to §3.4):
+
+1. After 73-globals reparented + route dropped + label-fallback ported to `procedural_events.name`:
+2. `DROP TABLE paliad.trigger_events` (mig P5, last in the train).
+3. Migrate `cmd/gen-upc-snapshot/main.go` to no longer SELECT from this table.
+4. Remove the `ref__trigger_events` sheet from `ExportService` workbook output.
+
+The bigint PK / parallel taxonomy disappears entirely. `procedural_events` (uuid PK) is the only event catalog.
+
+---
+
+## §5 Schema delta + migration plan (slice train)
+
+Six slices, sequential where data-coupled, parallelisable where not. Each slice ships as one or two PRs.
+
+| Slice | Mig | What ships | Reversible? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **P0 — Scenario SSoT** | mig 154 | `ALTER TABLE projects ADD COLUMN scenario_flags jsonb`; GET/PATCH endpoints w/ extended whitelist (named flags + `rule:<uuid>` per-rule entries, validated against project's PT rule set); Verfahrensablauf + result-view binding; `scenario_flag_catalog` table (§4.1) | Yes — DROP COLUMN |
+| **P1 — Appeal re-split** | mig 155 | UPDATE proceeding_types (re-activate 11/19/20, deactivate 160); UPDATE sequencing_rules (rebind 16 rules to merits/cost/order by event_code prefix); UPDATE pi.cfi spawn FK → 20 | Reversible by inverse UPDATEs; documented in down mig |
+| **S1+S1a from t-paliad-327** | — | Cross-party display backend + frontend; spawn-only picker filter (`sr.is_spawn = false` in SearchEvents) | Yes — code-only |
+| **P2 — Empty-PT badge** | — | `has_rules` flag on /api/tools/proceeding-types; frontend muted-chip rendering | Yes — code-only |
+| **P3 — Entry A (Verfahrensablauf tree)** | — | Tree endpoint + tree UI in /tools/verfahrensablauf; three-way view-mode toggle (localStorage); per-rule `[Aufnehmen]`/`[Entfernen]` chips wire to scenario_flags `rule:<uuid>` entries; subtree-hide-on-unselected-ancestor render logic | Yes — code-only |
+| **P4 — Editorial walk (73 globals)** | — | parent-NULL filter on /admin/procedural-events; editorial work by m (no coder task per se) | Trivially reversible |
+| **P5 — trigger_event_id deprecation** | mig 156 | DROP `/api/tools/event-deadlines`; DROP `EventDeadlineService`; port label-fallback in deadline_rule_service.go; remove ref__trigger_events sheet; `ALTER TABLE sequencing_rules DROP COLUMN trigger_event_id`; `DROP TABLE trigger_events`; condition_expr write-time validator | Last; downgrade requires re-adding column + re-populating — irreversible in practice |
+
+Constraint: **P5 is gated on P4 completion** (no rules can have NULL proceeding_type_id when DROP runs). All other slices ship independently.
+
+Ordering rationale:
+- P0 unblocks the Fristenrechner-side bugs immediately (no waiting on appeal-split editorial).
+- P1 is data-only, low risk, can land in parallel with P0.
+- S1+S1a are code-only follow-ons to P0 (same scenario-flag plumbing).
+- P2 ships once P1 lands (re-activated PTs need badge support too).
+- P3 builds on P2 + the tree endpoint; depends on P0 for flag persistence.
+- P4 is m's editorial work — duration depends on m's cadence, not coder velocity.
+- P5 is the cleanup at the end. Only safe when P4 is done.

+
+### §6.2 Behaviour
+
+- **Project picker (Step 0)** unchanged from Fristenrechner.
+- **Proceeding-type picker** chips → switching re-fetches the tree.
+- **View-mode toggle (§3.3a)** — three-way segmented control (Nur Pflicht / Gewählt / Alle Optionen). State in `localStorage["verfahrensablauf:view_mode"]`. Default = "Gewählt". Re-renders the tree on toggle; no network call.
+- **Szenario-Flags strip** reads/writes `projects.scenario_flags` (Akte) or localStorage (kontextfrei). Same `scenario-flag-changed` CustomEvent as Mode B's result view — both surfaces stay in sync. Flag entries (`with_ccr` etc.) live alongside per-rule entries (`rule:<uuid>`) in the same jsonb.
+- **Per-rule selection chips** — every non-mandatory rule's card carries `[Aufnehmen]` (unselected → tick selects) or `[Entfernen]` (selected → tick deselects). The handler PATCHes `projects.scenario_flags` with `{ "rule:<uuid>": true|false }` and fires the same `scenario-flag-changed` event.
+- **Subtree hide-on-deselect** — when a chain head (any rule with children via `parent_id`) is unselected in "Gewählt" mode, its descendants don't render. The tree walker checks each rule's full ancestor chain; any unselected ancestor hides the descendant. In "Alle Optionen" mode, descendants render greyed under the unselected ancestor.
+- **Cross-party rows** render with `Gegenseitig` badge, muted style (same as Mode B result view §2.4). Composes with selection state and view-mode independently.
+- **Spawn rows** render as leaves with the ⇲ symbol + "Neues Verfahren öffnen" CTA (Akte mode only; kontextfrei shows the badge without the CTA). Spawn rows ignore selection state — they always render in "Gewählt" + "Alle Optionen" modes since they represent a possible next-procedure rather than an in-scenario deadline.
+- **Empty PT** (the 6 unruled): tree area renders an inline "Für dieses Verfahren sind noch keine Regeln gepflegt" message + a link to /admin if the user is admin.
+- **Deeplink to Mode B:** each tree node has a "Frist berechnen" link that opens `/tools/fristenrechner?event=<code>&trigger_date=…&project=…`.
+
+### §6.3 Backend
+
+New handler: `GET /api/tools/verfahrensablauf/tree?proceeding_type=upc.inf.cfi&project=<id>` returns:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "proceeding_type": { "code": "upc.inf.cfi", "name_de": "...", "name_en": "..." },
+  "scenario_flags": { "with_ccr": true, "with_amend": false },
+  "tree": [
+    {
+      "rule_id": "...", "event_code": "upc.inf.cfi.soc",
+      "name_de": "Klageerhebung", "primary_party": "claimant",
+      "priority": "mandatory", "has_condition": false, "is_spawn": false,
+      "is_cross_party": false,
+      "children": [
+        { "rule_id": "...", "event_code": "upc.inf.cfi.sod", ... , "children": [...] },
+        ...
+      ]
+    },
+    ...  // chain-anchored roots
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The tree is the result of walking `parent_id` recursively from the PT's root rules (those with `parent_id IS NULL` for this PT). Computed via one recursive CTE; cached per-PT (the tree shape changes only on rule edits).
+
+`is_cross_party` is computed against `projects.our_side` (Akte mode) or the request's `?party=` query param (kontextfrei).
+
+---
+
+## §7 Entry B UI spec — reaffirms shipped Fristenrechner Mode A+B
+
+Mode A (`/tools/fristenrechner?mode=search`) and Mode B (`?mode=wizard`) — both shipped via t-paliad-322 S1-S6. Surgical follow-ons from t-paliad-327 design (§0.2):
+
+- Mode A search: add `AND sr.is_spawn = false` to `SearchEvents` WHERE block + add the derived-trigger filter `EXISTS (non-spawn child)` from §2.2. Compiled together as one PR (S1+S1a).
+- Mode B R4 chip-strip: identical filter on the wizard's event-pool query.
+- Result view: stop filtering follow-ups by party server-side (§2.4); render cross-party with badge.
+- Scenario flag binding: result-view CONDITIONAL group reads/writes `projects.scenario_flags` via the new API (P0). Same CustomEvent sync as Entry A.
+
+No layout changes. The mode tabs (⚡ Direkt suchen / 🧭 Geführt) stay as today. The 3rd entry path is Entry A on the verfahrensablauf page — not a Mode C.
+
+---
+
+## §8 Worked examples
+
+### §8.1 Entry A — claimant on HL-2024-001 (upc.inf.cfi, with_ccr=true)
+
+User opens `/tools/verfahrensablauf?project=HL-2024-001&proceeding_type=upc.inf.cfi`.
+
+- Project context loads. `scenario_flags = {with_ccr: true}`.
+- Tree GET returns the §1.2 shape, with conditional rules' `has_condition` flagged.
+- UI renders: top-level SoC anchor → branches. The CCR branch is fully expanded because `with_ccr=true`. The R.30 amend branch renders but conditionals are greyed (with_amend=false).
+- User clicks "Mit Antrag auf Patentänderung R.30" in the Szenario-Flags strip.
+- Frontend fires `PATCH /api/projects/HL-2024-001/scenario-flags { with_amend: true }`. Server stores. CustomEvent dispatches.
+- Tree re-renders: R.30 amend branch ungreys; conditional rules become live.
+- User scrolls to "Erwiderung auf CCR" → clicks "Frist berechnen" → deeplinks to Mode B with `event=upc.inf.cfi.def_to_ccr&trigger_date=<today>&project=HL-2024-001`.
+- Mode B result view loads. Cross-party RoP.029.d (defendant Replik) shows with `Gegenseitig` badge.
+
+### §8.2 Entry B — Mode A search after picker filter
+
+User types "Berufung" in Mode A.
+
+- Backend SQL (post-§2.2 + post-spawn filter):
+  ```sql
+  WHERE pe.name % 'Berufung' OR pe.code % 'Berufung'
+    AND sr.is_active AND sr.is_spawn = false
+    AND EXISTS (
+      SELECT 1 FROM paliad.sequencing_rules child
+       WHERE child.parent_id = sr.id AND child.is_active AND NOT child.is_spawn
+    )
+  ```
+- Returns: real triggers in the appeal track (`upc.apl.merits.notice`, `upc.apl.merits.grounds`, `upc.apl.order.with_leave`, etc. — post-Q5 split). Does NOT return: `upc.{inf,rev,pi,dmgs}.cfi.appeal_spawn` (spawn-only) or terminal leaves (no children).
+
+User picks `upc.apl.merits.notice` → result view loads its follow-ups. Tree renders cleanly because the Q5 split gave merits its own chain root.
+
+### §8.3 Editorial flow — m reparents a legacy global
+
+m opens `/admin/procedural-events?orphan=true`. Sees the 73-row list.
+
+- m clicks row "Antrag auf Verlängerung der Klagefrist" (one of the legacy globals with `proceeding_type_id NULL`).
+- Editor opens. m assigns `proceeding_type_id = upc.inf.cfi` and `parent_id = <RoP.013.1 soc rule>`.
+- Save. Rule lifecycle flips to draft. m clicks Publish.
+- The rule now sits under upc.inf.cfi's tree as a hop-1 child of SoC. Mode A picker EXISTS check passes for SoC (was already passing); the tree gains one more chip.
+- 72 globals to go. m walks at own cadence; no coder time blocked.
+

+
+## §9 Out of scope
+
+- **Calculator (`pkg/litigationplanner.CalculateRule`).** Working as designed.
+- **Holiday / working-day logic.** Out of scope.
+- **`choices_offered` + `applies_to_target` formalisation** (athena R11). Same shape as condition_expr would warrant — separate ticket once condition_expr formalisation ships.
+- **Adding new proceeding_types.** The 23 are stable; editorial work fills the 6 unruled ones.
+- **DE-side spawn edges** (LG → OLG → BGH as spawns instead of separate projects). Possible v2; not driven by current pain.
+- **AI-extracted deadlines from documents.** Deferred per memory `b6a11b55…`.
+- **Cross-tab scenario-flag sync in Akte mode.** Single-tab v1; SSE/WebSocket if it matters later.
+- **`event_kind` ENUM-ing** (athena R10). Cosmetic; vocab is stable.

+
+## §10 m's decisions (2026-05-27)
+
+All 12 questions answered via `AskUserQuestion` on 2026-05-27 ~13:55 (3 batches of 4). 11 picks on-recommendation; Q5 diverged with verbatim reasoning. Plus 8 pre-ratified picks from t-paliad-327 carried forward (§0.2).
+
+### Tier 1 — model decisions
+
+- **Q1 (Trigger link canonical): `parent_id` wins, deprecate `trigger_event_id`.** [= recommendation] **Locks §2.1.** Drop the column after backfill completes.
+- **Q2 (73 legacy globals fate): Reparent onto PT chains via editorial walk.** [= recommendation] **Locks §4.2.** m drives the walk at admin /admin/procedural-events; the orphan filter is the only new UI surface.
+- **Q3 (Trigger discoverability): Derive from data.** [= recommendation] **Locks §2.2.** EXISTS subquery on parent_id; no new column, no view.
+- **Q4 (Scenario SSoT shape): `projects.scenario_flags jsonb`.** [= recommendation; confirms t-paliad-327 design under wider scrutiny] **Locks §2.3.**
+
+### Tier 2 — surface decisions
+
+- **Q5 (Appeal taxonomy): Reverse the unification — split upc.apl.unified back into merits/cost/order.** [≠ recommendation; m picked option 3, "reverse the unification"] m's verbatim:
+    > yes, reverse the unification as suggested in 3. They are different proceedings, I only wanted the approach to be unified in the "determinator" - but they are actually different proceedings!
+    **Updates §1.4 + §3.1.** Mig P1 re-activates id=11/19/20, retires id=160, rebinds 16 rules by event_code prefix, retargets the pi.cfi spawn FK to id=20. Determinator routing layer (proceeding_mapping.go) keeps the single "Berufung" front door but fans out to the 3 PTs.
+- **Q6 (Empty PTs): Show with "Keine Regeln gepflegt" badge for now.** [= recommendation; option 2] m's note: "We need to publish rules then... but yeah, show with the badge for now." **Locks §3.2.** Editorial follow-up is m's; not blocking the design.
+- **Q7 (Entry A location): Fold into /tools/verfahrensablauf.** [= recommendation] **Locks §3.3 + §6.**
+- **Q8 (Legacy /event-deadlines route): Drop after Tier 1 + 73-globals reparenting.** [= recommendation] **Locks §3.4. Gated on §4.2 completion.**
+
+### Tier 3 — editorial + cleanup framework
+
+- **Q9 (condition_expr grammar): Lock to `{flag: "X"} | {op: "and"|"or", args: [...]}`.** [= recommendation] **Locks §4.1.** Write-time JSON-schema validator + known-flag catalog table.
+- **Q10 (Editorial backfill workflow): Admin /admin/procedural-events with parent-NULL filter.** [= recommendation] **Locks §4.2.** No new UI surface beyond the filter chip.
+- **Q11 (`trigger_events` table fate): Drop after route is gone.** [= recommendation] **Locks §4.3.** Sequenced as Mig P5, last in the slice train.
+- **Q12 (Visual format): ASCII trees per PT + Mermaid for spawn edges.** [= recommendation] **Locks §1.2 + §1.3.**
+
+### 10.0a Post-ratification additions (m, 2026-05-27 14:34–14:40)
+
+After the §10 main grilling, m added three directions on top of the ratified design. None re-opened a Tier 1 decision; all extended the Verfahrensablauf surface.
+
+- **Selection state + detail-level filter (m 14:40, supersedes earlier "rarity" framing).** Every optional rule becomes a per-scenario selectable card; selection state lives in the existing `projects.scenario_flags jsonb` with extended shape (`{flag: bool, "rule:<uuid>": bool}`). Recommended = default-selected; optional = default-unselected; mandatory = locked. Deviations only land in storage. No new column on `sequencing_rules`. **Locks §2.4a.** Replaces the pre-clarification strawman that proposed `is_edge_case boolean` — m's reframe makes that wrong (rarity is a scenario property, not a rule property).
+- **View-mode toggle on Verfahrensablauf.** Three-way segmented control: Nur Pflicht / Gewählt / Alle Optionen. Per-user persistence via `localStorage["verfahrensablauf:view_mode"]`. Default "Gewählt". **Locks §3.3a.** Mode B result view does NOT carry the toggle — it's a Verfahrensablauf-only affordance.
+- **R.109 chain editorial worked example.** m flagged R.109.1 / R.109.4 / R.109.5 as a concrete editorial-backfill case (wrong parent_id, wrong primary_party on R.109.4, missing condition_expr on R.109.4/.5). Folded as **§4.2.1** worked example demonstrating the parent-NULL filter workflow without code change. Two new scenario-flag names introduced (`with_interpreter_denied`, `with_translation_granted`); both land in the `scenario_flag_catalog` (§4.1) at edit time.
+
+These additions don't change the slice train sequence (§5). They tighten P0 (the `scenario_flags` PATCH endpoint now validates `rule:<uuid>` keys against the project's active rule set) and P3 (Entry A tree now renders the view-mode toggle + per-rule selection chips), but no new mig is added.
+
+### 10.1 What changed from the strawman as a result
+
+Beyond §10.0a additions, the Q5 divergence is the only material change:
+
+- **Mig P1 (appeal re-split)** is now part of the slice train. It was NOT in the strawman; the strawman assumed athena's R3 was a simple FK retarget. m's pick recasts the unification itself as the bug.
+- §1.4 per-PT table shows 3 separate appeal PT rows (merits/cost/order) instead of one unified row. The 16 rules under id=160 redistribute to id=11/19/20.
+- §1.3 spawn graph fan-out has merits (3 edges from inf/rev/dmgs) + order (1 edge from pi) as distinct targets instead of all 4 pointing at a single unified row.
+
+All other §1-§8 sections hold as originally drafted.
+
+---
+
+## §11 Synthesis links
+
+- mBrian: file as `[synthesis]` linked `triggered_by` t-paliad-329; `related_to` athena's assessment (`document-assessment-deadline-system`) + my proceeding_types taxonomy synthesis + Fristenrechner overhaul synthesis + t-paliad-327 follow-up rules synthesis.
+- Cross-refs: `docs/assessment-deadline-system-2026-05-27.md` (athena), `docs/design-fristenrechner-followup-rules-2026-05-27.md` (atlas, pre-ratified subset), `docs/design-fristenrechner-overhaul-2026-05-26.md` (cronus, S1-S6 shipped), `docs/design-proceeding-types-taxonomy-2026-05-26.md` (atlas, mig 153 shipped).
+- Related migrations: 084 (condition_expr backfill), 136 (procedural_events additive), 140 (drop legacy deadline_rules), 145 (`scenarios` table), 153 (proceeding_types.kind).
+- Coder phase (deferred per inventor SKILL): runs after m ratifies. Slice ordering per §5. NOT cronus (parked) / NOT atlas (inventor). A pattern-fluent Sonnet coder picks up P0 first; P1 + S1/S1a can parallelise; P3 follows; P4 + P5 are gated on each other.

+**Task:** t-paliad-334

+
+m's framing (2026-05-27 19:13):
+
+> There are many dimensions by which we can display and filter our procedural events. Maybe we should hire an inventor to find out the best methods from the ones we already have? It makes sense to narrow things, display them in sequence and context, make selections etc. It just needs to be done well, preferably in a unitary tool. There should be alternative means to derive at what you want to derive at.
+
+---
+
+## §0 Premises — what the inventor is and isn't doing
+
+This is a **surface-layer** design. The **model layer** is locked by atlas's `design-deadline-system-revision-2026-05-27.md` (Q1-Q12 + 14:34/14:40 post-ratification additions, all m-decided 2026-05-27). The shipped Fristenrechner Mode A + Mode B + result view is the model-side foundation; the in-flight atlas P0-P5 train extends Verfahrensablauf and the scenario SSoT.
+
+The inventor's question is **not** "how should the rule graph be modelled" — that's settled. It's: **of the 6 surfaces that read this model, do we have the right *surfaces*? Should they unify into one tool, two, or stay as today's set?**
+
+Out of scope per the issue + paliadin/head brief:
+
+- Calculator (`pkg/litigationplanner.CalculateRule`) — working.
+- `/admin/procedural-events` as an editorial **write** surface — different audience, different action set, must stay separate.
+- `/projects/{id}` Verlauf — per-Akte **actuals** surface, not the ablauf-tool. Sister tool, not subsumable.
+- SmartTimeline projection — per-project read view that composes actuals + projections; sister to Verlauf, project-bound. Not subsumable.
+- youpc.org/deadlines — cross-repo public surface. Snapshot consumer.
+- Outlook / Calendar sync UI.
+
+In-scope unification candidates (4 surfaces): the three Fristenrechner modes (A search + B wizard + result) **and** Verfahrensablauf — these read the *same model* (sequencing_rules + procedural_events + scenario_flags) to answer questions about the *same underlying graph*. The question is whether they're best presented as one URL with multi-mode entry, two URLs with shared vocabulary, or as today's split.
+
+---
+
+## §1 Audit of the 6 surfaces
+
+For each surface: question it answers, dimensions it filters/anchors on, what it does well, what it does poorly, overlap with neighbours.
+
+### §1.1 `/tools/fristenrechner` Mode A — "Direkt suchen" (shipped t-paliad-322 S3)
+
+**Question shape:** "I know a procedural event happened (e.g. *Klageerwiderung*). What follow-ups come next?"
+
+**Dimensions used:**
+- *Filters* (top strip): `forum` (UPC/DE/EPA/DPMA), `proceeding_type`, `event_kind` (filing/hearing/decision/order), `primary_party`.
+- *Anchor* (the search result): one `procedural_event` row → lock as trigger.
+- *Inbox* secondary chip (CMS / beA / postal): auto-derives forum.
+
+**Path:** Filter strip → free-text search → result row click → linear follow-up view (handed off to §1.3).
+
+**Strengths:** Power-user surface; one box does everything; forgiving to misspellings via pg_trgm; deep-linkable via `?mode=search&q=…&forum=…`.
+
+**Weaknesses:** Search returns *every* event including spawn-only and leaves (atlas §2.2 P0 fix in flight); no visualisation of *where* the picked event sits in the proceeding tree.
+
+**Overlap:** Picks the same `procedural_event` rows that Mode B R4 lands on; picks the same proceeding chips that Verfahrensablauf shows. Filter strip is a subset of Verfahrensablauf's filter chips.
+
+### §1.2 `/tools/fristenrechner` Mode B — "Geführt" wizard (shipped t-paliad-322 S4)
+
+**Question shape:** Same as Mode A but for users who don't know how to phrase the question. Narrows by Q&A.
+
+**Dimensions used:** All five Mode A filters reframed as wizard rows:
+- R1 `event_kind` (Filter badge)
+- R2 `forum` / jurisdiction (Filter, skipped if R1 narrows)
+- R3 `proceeding_type` (Qualifier, auto-skipped on single match)
+- R4 `procedural_event` (Qualifier — the landing question)
+- R5 `primary_party` (Qualifier, only when follow-ups differ by side)
+
+**Path:** Q-by-Q chip pick → R4 lock → linear follow-up view (handed off to §1.3).
+
+**Strengths:** Onboarding-friendly; auto-prefills from Akte (`projects.proceeding_type_id` → R3, `projects.our_side` → R5); preserves compatible downstream picks on back-nav.
+
+**Weaknesses:** No tree-context view of the answer; the user lands on a flat result with no zoom-out.
+
+**Overlap:** Same R4 event set as Mode A's search results. Same downstream result view.
+
+### §1.3 `/tools/fristenrechner` result view (shipped t-paliad-322 S2)
+
+**Question shape:** Given a locked event + trigger date, what dated follow-ups exist?
+
+**Dimensions used:**
+- *Anchor:* one `sequencing_rule` (the trigger's anchor rule).
+- *Linear walk:* one hop down via `parent_id` — children of the anchor, grouped by priority.
+- *Display axes:* priority (4 groups: mandatory / recommended / optional / conditional), party, condition flag, court-set, spawn.
+- *Persistent state:* per-rule checkboxes (selection for write-back), per-rule date overrides.
+- *Write-back:* `POST /api/projects/{id}/deadlines/bulk` with audit_reason.
+
+**Strengths:** Clear list + write-back footer; sticky trigger card; deep-linkable; cross-party detection in atlas P0 (S1 from t-paliad-327).
+
+**Weaknesses:** Only shows *direct* children of the anchor. No visibility of where this slice fits in the proceeding's wider graph. No way to pivot to "show the whole ablauf around this".
+
+**Overlap:** Selection state UI vocabulary (per-rule checkbox + chip) is conceptually identical to Verfahrensablauf's per-rule selection chips that atlas's P3 will ship.
+
+### §1.4 `/tools/verfahrensablauf` (current state + atlas P3 in flight)
+
+**Question shape (today):** "What does proceeding-type X look like in full?"
+
+**Dimensions used:**
+- *Anchor:* one `proceeding_type` (chip-picked).
+- *Filters:* `side` (claimant/defendant), `target` (appeal-target — endentscheidung / kostenentscheidung / anordnung / schadensbemessung / bucheinsicht), `trigger_date`.
+- *Scenario flags:* CCR / inf_amend / rev_amend / rev_cci, plus per-card choices (appellant / include_ccr / skip).
+- *View toggle:* `columns` (3-column swimlane: Unsere Seite | Gericht | Gegnerseite) vs `timeline` (single-column chronological).
+- *Detail-mode toggle (shipped today via m/paliad#149 P3):* `mandatory_only` / `selected` / `all_options`.
+- *Per-card affordances:* `[Aufnehmen]` / `[Entfernen]` chips for optional/recommended rules, dotted-border for unselected, greyed for conditional-with-flag-off.
+
+**Strengths:** The most data-rich surface — every rule for the proceeding rendered with computed dates against `trigger_date`. View-mode toggle gives detail-level control. URL params are clean (proceeding/side/target/trigger_date); noisy scenario flags live in localStorage (per `verfahrensablauf-state.ts`).
+
+**Weaknesses:** The user must already know which proceeding to look at — no entry path from "an event happened" or "search by name". 3-column swimlane reads dense on desktop and unmanageably wide on mobile. Trigger-date is per-page (not per-rule), so the entire ablauf computes from one anchor — fine for kontextfrei browse, awkward for Akte where different rules have different real triggers.
+
+**Overlap:** Detail-mode + per-rule selection chips share the design vocabulary that result view §1.3 *should* eventually adopt. Filter dimensions are a superset of Mode A's filter strip.
+
+### §1.5 `/admin/procedural-events` (shipped, Slice B.5)
+
+**Question shape:** "I need to edit / publish / audit rules."
+
+**Dimensions used:** Lifecycle filter (draft/published/archived), proceeding chip, trigger-event filter, free-text. Per-row click → editor form. Separate tab for orphans (Slice 10 fuzzy-match staging).
+
+**Strengths:** Lifecycle-aware; clone-publish workflow; audit log; orphan resolution.
+
+**Weaknesses:** None for editors. *For readers,* it's the wrong tool — too much editor-state metadata in the table; no tree / sequence / dates / scenario filtering.
+
+**Overlap:** None functional. Shares the rule corpus but its *action set* (edit/publish/audit/resolve-orphan) is disjoint from the reader surfaces.
+
+**Verdict: keep separate.** Different audience (editors only — m today, the partner team eventually), different action set, different lifecycle vocabulary. Cross-linking is sufficient: every reader-surface row should have a "Diese Regel bearbeiten" link to `/admin/procedural-events/{id}/edit` for editor users.
+
+### §1.6 `/projects/{id}` Verlauf — out of scope per brief
+
+Project-bound timeline of *actual* deadlines + appointments + project_events for one Akte. Composes with SmartTimeline projections.
+
+**Question shape:** "What's happened on my Akte and what's next *for this specific case*?"
+
+This is conceptually downstream of the ablauf-tool: the ablauf-tool answers "what's the *shape* of proceeding X"; Verlauf answers "what's the *state* of *my Akte* that happens to be proceeding X". The shape becomes the actuals through user actions (write-back from Mode A result view, manual entry, CMS sync).
+
+**Verdict: keep separate.** Different question, different data shape (instances vs templates).
+
+### §1.7 SmartTimeline / `ProjectionService` — out of scope per brief
+
+Per-project read view via `GET /api/projects/{id}/timeline` that returns merged actuals + projected future rows (via FristenrechnerService) + parent-node lane aggregation. The render shape is project-bound and lookahead-capped; the model knows about levels (Case / Patent / Litigation / Client) and bubble-up events.
+
+**Verdict: keep separate.** SmartTimeline composes the ablauf-tool's output with project actuals; it's a consumer, not a peer.
+
+### §1.8 `youpc.org/deadlines` — out of scope (cross-repo)
+
+Public surface backed by the offline UPC snapshot (`cmd/gen-upc-snapshot`). Snapshot consumer only.
+
+**Verdict: keep separate.** Different repo, different deploy.
+
+---
+
+## §2 The question→surface→dimension matrix
+
+The single source of truth for "which dimension lives where". Two questions answer "which view does this surface show":
+
+| User question | Today's surface | Anchor input | Output shape | Output detail |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| "What's the typical ablauf of upc.inf.cfi?" | Verfahrensablauf | `proceeding_type` | Tree-or-columns of all rules | Whole ablauf |
+| "Was passiert nach Klageerhebung?" | Fristenrechner Mode A | `procedural_event` | Linear follow-ups (priority groups) | Slice through tree |
+| "Was passiert nach… (don't know the event name)?" | Fristenrechner Mode B | Q&A → `procedural_event` | Same as Mode A | Same |
+| "Welche Fristen für meine Akte ergeben sich?" | Fristenrechner Mode A/B + `?project=` | Akte + `procedural_event` | Linear follow-ups + write-back | Same + actions |
+| "Wie sieht der gesamte Ablauf für meine Akte aus?" | Verfahrensablauf + `?project=` | Akte (derives `proceeding_type`) | Tree-or-columns + scenario | Whole ablauf + state |
+| "Welche Regeln gibt's? Wie bearbeite ich sie?" | /admin/procedural-events | — | Editor table | Editor metadata |
+| "Was steht auf meinem Akten-Plan?" | /projects/{id} Verlauf | Akte | Actuals timeline | Per-instance state |
+
+Dimensions matrix — same dimension axis, varied surface presentation:
+
+| Dimension | Cardinality | Mode A | Mode B | Result | Verfahrensablauf | Admin |
+|---|--:|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `forum` (jurisdiction) | 4 | top-chip filter | R2 | trigger-card badge | — (anchored by PT) | search facet |
+| `proceeding_type` | 23 | top-chip filter | R3 (auto-skip on single) | trigger-card chip | chip strip (the anchor) | dropdown filter |
+| `event_kind` | 5 | top-chip filter | R1 | trigger-card badge | — (in cards) | search facet |
+| `primary_party` | 5 | top-chip filter | R5 (when needed) | per-rule chip | swimlane column / per-card | — |
+| `priority` | 4 | — | — | group header | view-mode toggle + card style | column |
+| `condition_expr` (gating) | bool | — | — | conditional group | greyed cards + flag strip | rule editor field |
+| `is_spawn` | bool | hidden (atlas filter) | hidden | "⇲ Verfahren öffnen" CTA | leaf with ⇲ icon | column |
+| `is_court_set` | bool | — | — | "vom Gericht" badge | greyed-date card | column |
+| `parent_id` (chain depth) | derived | "Folgen: N" count | — | depth-1 only (children of anchor) | depth-N indentation / tree walk | "abhängig von" chip |
+| selection state (scenario_flags `rule:<uuid>`) | per-rule | — | — | checkbox (write-back) | `[Aufnehmen]`/`[Entfernen]` chips | — |
+| scenario flags (named: with_ccr, with_amend, …) | 3 | — | — | bound checkboxes (read-only) | flag strip (canonical edit surface) | rule editor field |
+| view-mode (detail level) | 3 | — | — | — (always "selected") | top toggle | — |
+| `trigger_date` | date | result view input | result view input | top of card | per-page input | — |
+
+**Reading the matrix.** Every dimension lives at least two surfaces over. The user's mental model has to translate "the proceeding chip on Verfahrensablauf" to "R3 in Mode B" to "the proceeding filter strip in Mode A" — three names, same dimension. Same for forum, event_kind, party.
+
+This is the friction m's framing pointed at: **the dimensions are shared, but the surface vocabulary is not.**
+
+---
+
+## §3 Consolidation proposal
+
+### §3.1 The honest answer first
+
+Of the 6 surfaces:
+
+- **2 stay separate, correctly** — `/admin/procedural-events` (editorial audience) and `/projects/{id}` Verlauf + SmartTimeline (per-Akte actuals). They serve different question shapes and audiences. Cross-link liberally; do not merge.
+- **4 are candidates for unification** — Fristenrechner Mode A + Mode B + result + Verfahrensablauf. Same underlying data, same dimensions, two zoom levels on one graph. Today they sit at two URLs (`/tools/fristenrechner` + `/tools/verfahrensablauf`) with separate filter vocabularies.
+
+### §3.2 The unified surface: `/tools/procedures`
+
+**Proposal:** consolidate the 4 reader surfaces into one page at `/tools/procedures` (the more general name; both "Fristenrechner" and "Verfahrensablauf" are sub-modes inside).

+│  └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘│
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+The page carries **one URL**, **one filter strip**, **one Akte picker**, **one selection-state store** (scenario_flags), **one view-mode toggle**, and **two output shapes** the user can toggle between:
+
+1. **Tree output** (proceeding-anchored): the current Verfahrensablauf rendering — every rule of a proceeding, depth-indented via `parent_id`, with per-rule chips for selection and the three view-modes (Nur Pflicht / Gewählt / Alle Optionen).
+2. **Linear output** (event-anchored): the current Mode A/B result view — sticky trigger card + 4 priority groups of follow-ups + write-back footer.
+
+The **entry mode** selects *which output you land on*:
+- "Verfahren wählen" + chip → tree of that proceeding.
+- "Direkt suchen" + search → linear follow-ups of the picked event.
+- "Geführt" wizard → linear follow-ups of the wizarded event.
+- "Aus Akte" → tree of the Akte's proceeding, with scenario_flags pre-loaded.
+
+The two outputs **share** the filter strip, the Akte context, the scenario state, the per-card UI vocabulary. Cross-pivoting is one click: from any rule card in the tree, "Folge-Fristen anzeigen" pivots to linear-from-that-anchor; from the linear view, "Im Ablauf zeigen" pivots back to the tree with the anchor highlighted.
+
+### §3.3 Alternative — keep the URLs split, tighten alignment
+
+The *minimum* unification, if m balks at folding two pages into one: keep `/tools/fristenrechner` and `/tools/verfahrensablauf` as distinct URLs but:
+
+- Standardise the filter strip vocabulary (same chip names, same order, same colour coding).
+- Share the entry-mode dropdown / tab UI components.
+- Mutual deep-links: every result-view row has "Im Ablauf zeigen" → Verfahrensablauf URL with anchor; every Verfahrensablauf tree node has "Folge-Fristen" → Fristenrechner URL with event locked.
+- Selection state already shared via `projects.scenario_flags` from atlas P0.
+
+This is the conservative path. It preserves URL stability but accepts that "which tool for which question" remains a learned concept rather than a single-doorway tool.
+
+### §3.4 Inventor's recommendation
+
+**Unify (§3.2)** — m's framing ("preferably in a unitary tool") + the dimension matrix showing 6+ shared filters argue strongly. The cost of two URLs is two filter vocabularies, two mental models, two cmd-K targets. Folding them is a few weeks of frontend work after atlas's P3 lands; the data layer is already ready.
+
+The risk is *not* the merge — it's the rename. `/tools/fristenrechner` is the name lawyers know. Naming choices in §11.Q2 below.
+
+---
+
+## §4 Multi-dimensional filter spec
+
+Where each dimension lives in the unified surface. Categories: **anchor** (the thing the output is rooted on), **filter** (narrows what's rendered), **qualifier** (refines the anchor), **display** (per-card affordance), **state** (persists across surface).
+
+| Dimension | Category | Where (entry mode) | Where (tree output) | Where (linear output) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `forum` | filter | top strip chip | top strip chip (narrows PT chips) | top strip chip + trigger-card badge |
+| `proceeding_type` | anchor (tree) / filter (linear) | "Verfahren wählen" chip-grid; "Direkt"/"Geführt" filter strip | The anchor — header above tree | trigger-card chip |
+| `event_kind` | filter | "Geführt" R1; Mode A filter chip | per-card icon | per-rule row icon |
+| `primary_party` | filter | "Geführt" R5; Mode A filter chip; Akte (`our_side`) | swimlane column OR per-card chip (view-mode-dependent) | per-rule chip + Gegenseitig badge |
+| `priority` | display | — | view-mode toggle + per-card style | group header (4 groups) |
+| `condition_expr` (gating) | state | — | greyed + flag-strip activation | conditional group + read-only checkbox |
+| `is_spawn` | display | filtered out of pickers (atlas §2.2) | leaf with ⇲ icon | "⇲ Verfahren öffnen" CTA, no date |
+| `is_court_set` | display | — | greyed-date card with "vom Gericht" badge | "vom Gericht" badge, no date |
+| `parent_id` (chain depth) | display | — | tree indentation | hidden (linear shows depth-1 only) |
+| selection state `rule:<uuid>` | state | — | `[Aufnehmen]`/`[Entfernen]` chips | checkbox (write-back) |
+| named scenario flags (`with_ccr`, …) | state | — | flag strip above tree | read-only mirror in conditional group |
+| view-mode (detail level) | display | — | three-way segmented top toggle | — (always Gewählt) |
+| `trigger_date` | anchor (linear) / display (tree) | linear: result view date input | tree: optional per-page input, defaults today | linear: top-card date input (canonical) |
+| `is_cross_party` (derived) | display | — | muted style + Gegenseitig badge | muted style + Gegenseitig badge |
+
+**Design principle:** dimensions stay in the **same chip / control**, regardless of which output is showing. The user learns the filter strip once. The output reacts.
+
+---
+
+## §5 Alternative paths spec — four ways to derive at the same outcome
+
+m's "alternative means to derive at what you want" rendered explicitly. All four paths converge on the same underlying rule-set view; only the *entry experience* differs.
+
+```
+Path 1: PROCEEDING-FIRST (German-lawyer approach)
+  "Ich öffne ein UPC-Verletzungsverfahren — wie sieht das aus?"
+  1. Page open → "Verfahren wählen" tab (default if no Akte)
+  2. Chip-grid: pick `upc.inf.cfi`
+  3. Tree renders. User sees full ablauf.
+  4. (Optional) Click rule → drill to linear follow-ups of that rule.
+
+Path 2: EVENT-FIRST (UPC-lawyer / paralegal)
+  "Das Gericht hat einen Hinweisbeschluss erlassen — was bedeutet das?"
+  1. Page open → "Direkt suchen" tab
+  2. Filter strip: Forum=UPC + event_kind=order
+  3. Search "Hinweis" → 3 hits
+  4. Click `upc.inf.cfi.cmo_review` → linear follow-ups (Antrag CMO-Überprüfung etc.)
+
+Path 3: GUIDED (trainee PA)
+  "Es ist etwas passiert; ich weiß nicht wie die Frist heißt"
+  1. Page open → "Geführt" tab
+  2. R1 event_kind: filing
+  3. R2 forum: UPC (or skipped if R1 narrowed)
+  4. R3 proceeding_type: upc.inf.cfi (auto-skipped if only one)
+  5. R4 event chip-strip: pick the relevant event
+  6. R5 perspective (only if follow-ups differ)
+  7. Linear follow-ups render.
+
+Path 4: AKTE-FIRST (senior partner / paralegal with project context)
+  "Auf HL-2024-001 ist heute Klageerwiderung zugegangen — was nun?"
+  1. Page open → Akte picker → HL-2024-001
+  2. Page auto-derives `proceeding_type` + `our_side` + `scenario_flags`
+  3. Default landing: TREE of upc.inf.cfi, scenario flags pre-loaded
+  4. Click "Klageerwiderung" card → linear follow-ups, write-back footer enabled
+  5. Tick rules → "In Akte speichern" → POST /api/projects/.../deadlines/bulk
+```
+
+All four paths share:
+- the same filter strip (forum / proceeding / event_kind / party — values persist across paths in URL)
+- the same view-mode toggle (when tree is showing)
+- the same scenario_flags (when Akte is loaded)
+- the same per-card vocabulary (`[Aufnehmen]` / `[Entfernen]` / `[Bedingt]` / `[Gegenseitig]` / `⇲`)
+- the same cross-pivot affordance ("Im Ablauf zeigen" / "Folge-Fristen anzeigen")
+
+The user can switch paths mid-task: started in Path 4, lost in the Akte's tree, jump to Path 2 (search) to find a specific event, then jump back to the tree via the cross-pivot. Tab state preserved.
+
+---
+
+## §6 Selection state spec
+
+Already locked by atlas's `design-deadline-system-revision-2026-05-27.md` §2.3 + §2.4a. Briefly, in the unified tool's context:
+
+- **Named flags** (`with_ccr`, `with_amend`, `with_cci`, plus catalog extensions) — top "Szenario-Flags" strip when proceeding is locked. Edits write to `projects.scenario_flags` (Akte) or localStorage (kontextfrei) and dispatch `scenario-flag-changed` CustomEvent. Both tree and linear views listen and re-render.
+- **Per-rule deviations** (`rule:<uuid> = true|false`) — `[Aufnehmen]` / `[Entfernen]` chips on each tree card; identical to the result-view checkboxes in linear mode (linear's "checked" state literally is `rule:<uuid>=true`).
+- **Default population:** none on project create. The flat-map only stores deviations from priority defaults.
+
+**Cross-view sync.** When the user toggles "Klageerwiderung" in linear write-back, the tree's corresponding card immediately re-renders with the chip state updated — same CustomEvent. When the user clicks `[Aufnehmen]` on the tree's "Antrag CMO-Überprüfung", switching to linear shows it pre-checked.
+
+**Kontextfrei vs Akte:** kontextfrei writes to `localStorage["paliad.verfahren.scenario.<proceeding_code>"]` (per-proceeding key — different proceedings have different selection sets, matching the existing `paliad.verfahrensablauf.scenario.*` convention). Akte writes to the DB column.
+
+---
+
+## §7 Sequence visualisation
+
+Three candidate shapes. Issue brief lists "vertical tree, horizontal timeline, collapsible groups, per-priority lanes" as options. Today's surfaces use:
+
+| Shape | Where today | What it does well | What it does poorly |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **3-column swimlane** (Unsere / Gericht / Gegenseite) | Verfahrensablauf default view | Reads side-of-table cleanly; left = our action, right = opponent's | Dense at depth; mobile-hostile; cross-party hops zig-zag across columns |
+| **Single-column linear timeline** | Verfahrensablauf alt view | Mobile-friendly; chronological | Loses parent-chain structure visually |
+| **Vertical tree (indented)** | atlas P3 proposal; ASCII trees in design docs | Shows chain depth; clean on desktop + mobile; matches mental model | Less easy to read date-order at a glance |
+| **Priority groups** | Mode A/B result view | Highlights what's urgent | Loses sequence; only works for one anchor |
+
+**Recommendation:** make the tree the canonical desktop shape (atlas P3); the 3-column swimlane becomes an optional view ("Schwimmbahnen") when the user wants side-comparison; mobile defaults to the single-column linear timeline collapsed by depth. Per-priority groups stay as the linear-output sub-shape (only when an event is locked).
+
+This is a strict superset of today's options — no shape is removed.
+
+**Concrete rendering rules:**
+- Each card carries 4 axes: priority, selection state, conditional gate, cross-party. Visual style composes them: priority = colour stripe; selection = solid vs dotted border; conditional-flag-off = greyed; cross-party = muted + Gegenseitig badge.
+- Spawn rules render as **leaf chips** with `⇲` icon. In Akte mode, the chip becomes a CTA: click → create child project of the spawn target's PT, link via `parent_project_id`. Already wired via `/api/projects/{id}/timeline/counterclaim` for the CCR case.
+- Court-set rules carry a "vom Gericht bestimmt" badge in place of the computed date. The card is still rendered (it's still part of the ablauf), just without a date column entry.
+- Chain depth is rendered via **indentation + connector lines**, capped at depth-5 (today's max is 4 for the upc.inf.cfi CCR branch). Beyond depth-3 the lines fold to a "in 3 weiteren Schritten" collapsible hint — keeps long chains from running off the screen.
+
+---
+
+## §8 Context preservation when drilling
+
+m: "when a user drills into a single rule from one entry, how to keep the surrounding sequence visible".
+
+Three options:
+
+1. **Split-pane** — left: tree of the proceeding; right: linear follow-ups of the focused rule. Tree highlights the focused node.
+2. **Inline drawer** — clicking a rule expands an inline drawer beneath it showing follow-ups; tree stays in place; drawer is collapsible.
+3. **Breadcrumb pivot** — single output shape at a time; pivoting linear→tree shows a breadcrumb chain "upc.inf.cfi > Klageerhebung > Klageerwiderung > [Klageerwiderung is here]"; tree renders with the breadcrumb highlighted.
+
+**Inventor pick: option 2 (inline drawer)** for desktop, **option 3 (breadcrumb)** for mobile. Reasons:
+- Split-pane (option 1) is the cleanest visualisation but burns half the screen on context the user might not want. Optional via a "Zwei Spalten" toggle for power users.
+- Inline drawer (option 2) keeps everything in one column with progressive disclosure; the user scrolls through the tree, expands the rule they care about, sees follow-ups, collapses, moves on. Matches how the existing `<details>` flow already works on /admin pages.
+- Breadcrumb (option 3) is the only sensible mobile pattern — split panes can't, drawers nest awkwardly.
+
+When in the inline drawer, the focused rule's follow-ups render in the same priority-group shape as the linear view; the per-rule `[Aufnehmen]` / `[Entfernen]` chips work identically; write-back to Akte works identically. The drawer is the linear view embedded.
+
+---
+
+## §9 Mobile / narrow viewport
+
+Today's Verfahrensablauf 3-column swimlane is desktop-heavy. The tree-output proposal collapses better, but still needs careful narrow-viewport rules.
+
+Layout breakpoints:
+
+- **< 640px (phone):** single-column. Filter strip collapses to a sticky "Filter" button → bottom-sheet panel with the same chips. Entry-mode picker collapses to a sticky dropdown ("Verfahren wählen ▾"). Tree renders with no indentation lines; depth-N items get a leading "└ ".indent decoration only. Per-card chips ([Aufnehmen] etc.) move to a "..." menu on each card. View-mode toggle moves to a single icon button cycling Pflicht→Gewählt→Alle.
+- **640-1024px (tablet):** filter strip stays at top but wraps; entry-mode picker becomes tabs; tree renders with proper indentation. View-mode toggle and Akte picker stay inline.
+- **> 1024px (desktop):** full layout per §3.2. Optional "Zwei Spalten" toggle for the split-pane variant (§8.1).
+
+**Mobile drill-down (§8 option 3):** clicking a card on phone pushes a new route `?focus=<rule_id>` and renders the linear follow-up view full-screen with a back-arrow breadcrumb. Back arrow restores the tree at the previous scroll position.
+
+**Filter persistence across viewports:** URL params survive resize, the bottom-sheet panel reflects the same state as the desktop top-strip — same state machine.
+
+---
+
+## §10 Worked examples — 3 personas
+
+### §10.1 Trainee PA — "what's next after Klageerwiderung?"
+
+Persona: Anna, 6-month PA trainee, doesn't know which proceeding "Klageerwiderung" belongs to.
+
+1. Opens `/tools/procedures`. No Akte. Lands on "Verfahren wählen" tab (default) but she doesn't want to browse — she wants to find one event.
+2. Clicks "Geführt" tab. R1: was hat sich ereignet → **filing**. R2: forum → **UPC**. R3: proceeding_type → **upc.inf.cfi** (the only filing-forum option that has "Klage" in its events). R4: event chip-strip → **Klageerwiderung**. R5: perspective — wizard asks because the follow-ups differ → **defendant**.
+3. Lands on linear follow-ups view. Sees: Pflicht: Replik (claimant, 1 Monat); Empfohlen: Vorl. Einwendungen; Optional: Widerklage; Bedingt: Antrag auf Patentänderung (greyed, with_amend off).
+4. Wants to know: where does Klageerwiderung sit in the bigger picture? Clicks "Im Ablauf zeigen". Tree renders, with Klageerwiderung highlighted; she sees the SoC root above it, the CCR branch beside it, the cascade of Replik/Duplik below.
+5. Anna learns the shape. Back to her task — she copies the Replik date into her notes.
+
+### §10.2 Senior partner — brief client on full upc.inf.cfi ablauf
+
+Persona: Dr. Becker, senior litigator, briefing a client on Friday about a new UPC matter that hasn't been filed yet.
+
+1. Opens `/tools/procedures`. No Akte (matter not in Paliad yet).
+2. Tab: "Verfahren wählen" → clicks `upc.inf.cfi` chip.
+3. Tree renders. View-mode at default **Gewählt** — shows mandatory + recommended. Becker flips to **Alle Optionen** to brief the client on the full set including conditional branches.
+4. CCR branch greyed (with_ccr off by default in kontextfrei). Becker ticks `with_ccr` in the flag strip. Tree re-renders; CCR branch lights up.
+5. Becker wants to print this. Cmd-P / "PDF exportieren" (out of scope for this design but flagged). Tree-with-current-state renders cleanly because nothing depends on viewport hover.
+6. After the call, Becker creates the Akte in Paliad. Returns to the page with `?project=HL-2025-031`. Same state preserved into the new project — `scenario_flags = {with_ccr: true}` writes to DB on first PATCH.
+
+### §10.3 Paralegal — enter CMS-received Hinweisbeschluss into Akte
+
+Persona: Sandra, paralegal, daily CMS triage. Today: a Hinweisbeschluss arrived on HL-2024-001 (upc.inf.cfi).
+
+1. Opens `/tools/procedures` → picks HL-2024-001 from Akte picker.
+2. Page auto-derives proceeding = upc.inf.cfi, our_side = claimant, scenario_flags = {with_ccr: true} (already on this matter).
+3. Default landing: TREE of upc.inf.cfi, scenario state loaded. Sandra sees the full ablauf with the matter's actual selections.
+4. She knows the event is a Hinweisbeschluss → uses the search box (top right corner of the unified page, available in any mode) → types "Hinweis".
+5. Search popover shows 1 result: `upc.inf.cfi.cmo_review` (Antrag auf CMO-Überprüfung). Sandra clicks → tree scrolls + highlights the rule; drawer expands beneath it showing the follow-up rule `upc.inf.cfi.cmo_review_resp` with computed date (today + R.333.2 duration).
+6. Drawer footer has "In Akte speichern" button. Sandra ticks the follow-up rule, sets trigger date = today, audit reason = "CMS-Hinweisbeschluss eingegangen", saves.
+7. Deadline inserted into HL-2024-001. Sandra returns to her queue.
+
+Total clicks: 5 (open tool, search, click result, tick, save). No mode-switching, no URL-jumping, no two-tab juggling.
+
+---
+
+## §11 Migration plan
+
+Five-slice train. Each slice ships as one PR. P0 is the model layer atlas already designed; everything below is surface-layer on top.
+
+| Slice | Mig | What ships | Reversible? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **U0 — Shared filter-strip component** | — | Extract Mode A's filter strip + Verfahrensablauf's filter chips into one `<FilterStrip>` component used by both pages (still two URLs). Standardise chip names, order, colour. Cross-link buttons in both directions. | Yes — code-only |
+| **U1 — New unified page at `/tools/procedures`** | — | New route + page shell. Carries Akte picker, filter strip, entry-mode tab control. Initially shows TREE view only (lifts from /tools/verfahrensablauf without removing the original). | Yes — route addition |
+| **U2 — Linear output + drawer + cross-pivot** | — | Embed the Mode A/B result-view rendering as an inline drawer in U1. Cross-pivot "Im Ablauf zeigen" / "Folge-Fristen anzeigen" wired. Search box top-right available in all modes. | Yes — code-only |
+| **U3 — Entry mode tabs (Direkt / Geführt / Verfahren / Aus Akte)** | — | Wire Mode A search + Mode B wizard as additional entry tabs on `/tools/procedures`. All four entry paths converge on either tree or linear output depending on what the user picked. | Yes — code-only |
+| **U4 — Redirects + deprecation** | — | **Per m's Q11 (§11.5): hard cut, no dual-shipping.** `/tools/fristenrechner?…` → 301 → `/tools/procedures?mode=direkt&…` (preserve query params). `/tools/verfahrensablauf?…` → 301 → `/tools/procedures?mode=ablauf&…`. Sidebar + cmd-K updated in the same PR. Old `*.tsx` files deleted. No `?legacy=1` escape. | Reversible only by revert PR |
+
+**Constraint:** U0-U3 are independent of atlas P0-P3 and can ship in parallel (different files). U4 should land after atlas P3 (`/tools/verfahrensablauf` tree) so the redirect target carries the full tree shape from day 1. If atlas P3 slips, U4 stays in the queue.
+
+**No DB migration.** All state lives in `projects.scenario_flags` (atlas P0) + localStorage. URL param schema is additive.
+
+**Pre-deploy gauntlet:** kontextfrei + Akte modes × each entry path × tree + linear output = 16 path/output combinations. Plus mobile narrow viewport for all 4 entry paths. Plus URL deep-link restore for each saved-state shape.
+
+---
+
+## §11.5 m's decisions (2026-05-27)
+
+All 12 questions answered via `AskUserQuestion` in 3 batches of 4. 9 picks on-recommendation; 3 diverged from the inventor pick. Decisions below; raw question list preserved in §12 as the historical record.
+
+### Tier 1 — does the unification happen at all & what does it look like?
+
+- **Q1 (Unify vs Align): Full unification — one URL.** [= recommendation] **Locks §3.2.** The four reader surfaces (Fristenrechner Mode A + Mode B + result + Verfahrensablauf) fold into a single page with entry-mode tabs and two output shapes. Aligned-but-separate (§3.3) is dropped from the plan.
+- **Q2 (URL/Name): `/tools/procedures` — English.** [≠ recommendation; m diverged from inventor's `/tools/verfahren` pick] m's verbatim:
+    > just one, but english name - call it tools/procedures ...
+  **Locks §3.2 + §11 (renames `/tools/verfahren` → `/tools/procedures` throughout).** Rationale: the codebase convention is "English in code, German in UI" (project CLAUDE.md: "All code, table names, Go types, service names, URL paths, API endpoints, file names — English"). `/tools/procedures` follows that rule; the inventor's `/tools/verfahren` strawman broke it. The German sidebar entry stays "Verfahren & Fristen" (Q12) — the URL is the developer surface, the label is the user surface.
+- **Q3 (Default entry / search shape): All entry modes as tabs + text search combined with dimension filters.** [≠ recommendation; m reframed the question] m's verbatim:
+    > yeah, different tabs, right?! I think we need to have all of the named ones. And we can combine a text search with filters for the dimensions of the event
+  **Locks §3.2 + §5 + reshapes §4.** All four named entry paths (Verfahren wählen / Direkt suchen / Geführt / Aus Akte) are visible as tabs simultaneously. The search box is part of the filter strip at the top of the page and composes with the chip filters (Forum / Verfahren / event_kind / Partei) at all times. The "Direkt suchen" tab still exists for the explicit search-first workflow, but the search input is also live in tree mode (top-of-page filter strip) — meaning a user browsing a proceeding can refine the tree's rendered set by typing into the same search box that filters Mode A. The default landing question ("which tab is active first") becomes a secondary concern: any of the four tabs is one click away. Default behaviour: first tab in the strip ("Verfahren wählen") is selected on cold open with no Akte, but the URL preserves the user's last-active tab if returning via a deep-link.
+- **Q4 (Akte default behaviour): TREE of the Akte's proceeding.** [= recommendation] **Locks §3.2 + §10.3.** Akte picker triggers auto-derivation of `proceeding_type` + `our_side` + `scenario_flags`, lands on the tree view with the matter's state loaded.
+
+### Tier 2 — tree mechanics + visual style
+
+- **Q5 (Tree shape): Both vertical tree + 3-column swimlane, with a toggle.** [= recommendation] **Locks §7.** Default desktop = vertical indented tree (clean chain depth, mobile-translatable); "Schwimmbahnen" toggle reveals the 3-column swimlane (Unsere Seite | Gericht | Gegnerseite) for side-comparison. Toggle state in `localStorage["procedures:tree_shape"]` (per-user, not per-Akte).
+- **Q6 (Cross-pivot): Inline drawer beneath the card.** [= recommendation] **Locks §8.** Clicking a rule card expands an inline drawer with the linear follow-up view (priority groups + write-back footer). Tree stays in place above. Multiple drawers can be open. Drawer carries the same per-rule selection chips as the tree, so writes propagate to scenario_flags identically.
+- **Q7 (Search position): Always-visible search bar in the filter strip.** [= recommendation] **Locks §4 + §3.2.** Search input lives in the top filter strip next to the chip groups; available in every output mode. Composes with chip filters via AND semantics (chip filters narrow the corpus, search ranks within the narrowed set). This is what m's Q3 reframe asked for.
+- **Q8 (Cross-party rows in tree): Show with Gegenseitig badge + muted style.** [= recommendation] **Locks §7.** Tree renders the full graph including opponent rows, muted + badged consistently with the linear view. Identical to atlas's locked treatment for the linear view (`design-deadline-system-revision-2026-05-27.md` §2.4).
+
+### Tier 3 — mobile + migration
+
+- **Q9 (Mobile tree shape): Single-column with `└` indent decorator.** [= recommendation] **Locks §9.** Phone-narrow render keeps depth via leading-marker indentation; SVG connector lines drop; cards stack vertically. Resize back to tablet/desktop restores the full tree with connector lines.
+- **Q10 (Mobile drill): Push new route with breadcrumb back.** [= recommendation] **Locks §9.** Clicking a card on phone pushes `?focus=<rule_id>` and renders the full-screen linear follow-up view with a back-arrow breadcrumb. Tree scroll position preserved on back. Inline drawer is desktop-only.
+- **Q11 (Migration window): Hard cut — no dual-shipping window.** [≠ recommendation; m diverged from "2 weeks 302"] m's verbatim:
+    > not at all
+  **Locks §11 (rewrites the U4 slice).** When `/tools/procedures` ships, `/tools/fristenrechner` and `/tools/verfahrensablauf` flip directly to redirects (301 permanent, no `?legacy=1` escape hatch). Sidebar entries swap to the new entry in the same release. cmd-K palette swaps to the new entry. No 2-week dual-shipping window. Rationale (interpreted): the audience is internal HLC lawyers (~50 users, all on the same release rhythm). A 2-week dual ship adds complexity for almost no benefit; m would rather flip and fix any broken bookmark via direct comm.
+- **Q12 (Sidebar): One entry "Verfahren & Fristen".** [= recommendation] **Locks §11.** Single sidebar item (German label) pointing at `/tools/procedures` (English URL). cmd-K palette updated to one entry "Verfahren & Fristen" with `/tools/procedures` as the action.
+
+### §11.5.1 Changes triggered by m's divergences
+
+Three picks changed the design beyond ratification. Summarised here so the coder reads the *current* design, not the pre-grilling strawman.
+
+1. **URL rename `/tools/verfahren` → `/tools/procedures`** (Q2). Replaces every URL reference in §3.2, §4, §5, §10, §11, §14. Page name in the codebase: `frontend/src/procedures.tsx`. Sidebar label stays German ("Verfahren & Fristen"). Internal Go types stay English (`ProceduresPage`, etc.).
+2. **All-tabs-visible + search-as-filter** (Q3). Replaces the strawman's "pick a single default tab" wording in §3.2 + §4. The unified page now renders all four entry-mode tabs at all times (Verfahren wählen / Direkt suchen / Geführt / Aus Akte). The search box is in the filter strip alongside the chip filters and composes with them in every output mode (tree + linear). The "Direkt suchen" tab remains, but its function shifts: it's the *search-first cold start* tab; once the user has any output (tree or linear), the search box at the top of the page is the canonical re-narrowing affordance. The wizard tab ("Geführt") and the Akte tab still exist as explicit workflows.
+3. **Hard cut, no dual-ship** (Q11). Slice U4 in §11 is rewritten: 301 redirects on `/tools/fristenrechner` + `/tools/verfahrensablauf` to the new page; no `?legacy=1` escape; the old `*.tsx` files are deleted in the same PR. Bookmarks resolve via the 301; no in-product affordance points at the legacy URL after the merge.
+
+### §11.5.2 What stays unchanged
+
+The other 9 picks (Q1, Q4-Q10, Q12) ratified the inventor proposal. The full unification at a single URL with two output shapes (tree + linear drawer), four entry paths, shared selection state via `projects.scenario_flags`, vertical tree + swimlane toggle, mobile `└` decorator + breadcrumb-back drill-down, single sidebar entry — all locked as drafted in §1-§11.
+
+---
+
+## §12 Open questions for m
+
+Twelve questions, batched 4 + 4 + 4 for `AskUserQuestion`. The first batch is **must-answer** (decides the unification's existence + URL shape); the second is **shape** (tree mechanics + visual style); the third is **mobile + migration** (operational).
+
+Will be answered via `AskUserQuestion` per the inventor SKILL; m's picks fold back into a `§12.5 m's decisions (2026-05-27)` section at the top of this file before the "DESIGN READY FOR REVIEW" signal.
+
+### Batch 1 — does the unification happen at all & what does it look like?
+
+- **Q1 (Unify vs Align):** Fold the four reader surfaces into `/tools/procedures` (full unification §3.2), or keep `/tools/fristenrechner` and `/tools/verfahrensablauf` as separate URLs and just tighten alignment (§3.3)?
+- **Q2 (Naming):** If unifying — what's the page name? `/tools/verfahren` (generic German, my original pick), `/tools/fristenrechner` (lawyers know this one — repurpose as the supermarket), or `/tools/ablauf` (closest to what it does)? (m diverged with `/tools/procedures` — see §11.5.)
+- **Q3 (Default entry mode):** When the user opens `/tools/procedures` with no URL params and no Akte, which entry tab is active? "Verfahren wählen" (browse, my pick), "Direkt suchen" (power), "Geführt" (onboarding).
+- **Q4 (Akte default behaviour):** When user picks an Akte from the picker, default landing — TREE of the Akte's proceeding (my pick) or "remember last view" per-user.
+
+### Batch 2 — tree mechanics + visual style
+
+- **Q5 (Tree shape):** Desktop tree rendering — vertical indented tree (my pick), 3-column swimlane (current Verfahrensablauf default), or both with a "Schwimmbahnen" toggle.
+- **Q6 (Cross-pivot affordance):** When clicking a rule card in the tree to see its follow-ups — inline drawer beneath the card (my pick), split-pane (tree left + linear right), or full-page push (replaces tree, breadcrumb back).
+- **Q7 (Mode A search location):** The free-text "Direkt suchen" entry — only as a top-tab (my pick, with a small search icon always available in tree mode), always-visible search bar at top, or only inside the "Direkt" tab.
+- **Q8 (Cross-party rows in linear):** Atlas locked "show with Gegenseitig badge, unchecked default, unconditionally excluded from write-back". In tree mode, same treatment (my pick) or hide cross-party rows entirely by default and surface via "Gegenseite einblenden" toggle.
+
+### Batch 3 — mobile + migration
+
+- **Q9 (Mobile tree shape):** On phones (< 640px) — single-column indented list with leading "└" decorator (my pick), single-column flat list (no indentation), or chronological-timeline view (auto-pivots when narrow).
+- **Q10 (Mobile drill-down):** Clicking a card on phone — push new route with breadcrumb-back (my pick), inline drawer (cramped on small screens), or modal sheet.
+- **Q11 (Migration window):** After the unified page ships — 2-week dual-shipping with 302 redirects (my pick, matches t-paliad-322 S5 pattern), 1-week, or 4-week.
+- **Q12 (Sidebar entries):** Sidebar today has "Fristenrechner" + "Verfahrensablauf" as separate items. Post-merge — one entry "Verfahren & Fristen" (my pick), keep both with both → same URL, or pick one ("Fristenrechner" or "Verfahrensablauf") as the canonical name.
+
+---
+
+## §13 Out of scope
+
+- Calculator changes (`pkg/litigationplanner.CalculateRule`). Working.
+- Editorial backfill (curie owns t-paliad-333 in parallel).
+- /admin/procedural-events as a read surface — different audience.
+- /projects/{id} Verlauf — per-Akte actuals; sister tool.
+- SmartTimeline / `ProjectionService` — per-project read view, downstream consumer.
+- youpc.org/deadlines — cross-repo snapshot consumer.
+- Outlook / Calendar sync UI.
+- PDF export of the tree (mentioned in §10.2 but not designed here).
+- Bulk-write affordances beyond the existing `/deadlines/bulk` endpoint.
+- Multi-project comparison views (would belong in SmartTimeline at Patent / Litigation / Client level, not in `/tools/procedures`).
+- Translation between languages of free-text scenario flag names.
+
+---
+
+## §14 Synthesis links
+
+- mBrian: file as `[synthesis]` linked `triggered_by` t-paliad-334; `related_to` athena's assessment + atlas's deadline-system-revision design + cronus's earlier Fristenrechner overhaul design.
+- Cross-refs in this repo: `docs/assessment-deadline-system-2026-05-27.md` (athena), `docs/design-deadline-system-revision-2026-05-27.md` (atlas), `docs/design-fristenrechner-overhaul-2026-05-26.md` (cronus 2026-05-26), `docs/design-event-card-choices-2026-05-25.md` (existing per-card choice).
+- Gitea: m/paliad#151 (this design), m/paliad#149 (atlas Phase 2), m/paliad#146 (cronus 2026-05-26 Fristenrechner overhaul, S1-S6 shipped).
+- Coder phase (deferred per inventor SKILL): runs after m ratifies via AskUserQuestion. Slice ordering per §11. NOT cronus (parked at "DESIGN READY FOR REVIEW"). A pattern-fluent Sonnet coder picks up U0 first; U1-U3 sequential; U4 gated on atlas P3 landing.

+-- (2026-05-27, verbatim):
+--
+--   "Reverse the unification as suggested in 3. They are different
+--    proceedings, I only wanted the approach to be unified in the
+--    'determinator' — but they are actually different proceedings!"
+--
+-- The current state (audited 2026-05-27, mig 155 pre-flight):
+--
+--   id=160 upc.apl.unified   is_active=true  (carries all 16 rules)
+--   id=11  upc.apl.merits    is_active=false
+--   id=19  upc.apl.cost      is_active=false
+--   id=20  upc.apl.order     is_active=false
+--
+-- The 16 rules under id=160 split cleanly by event_code prefix:
+--   7 rows match 'upc.apl.merits.%' → target id=11
+--   2 rows match 'upc.apl.cost.%'   → target id=19
+--   7 rows match 'upc.apl.order.%'  → target id=20
+--
+-- Every parent_id chain among those 16 rows stays inside its bucket
+-- (audited: 10/10 parent edges are bucket-local), so retargeting by
+-- event_code prefix preserves the tree shape — no extra parent_id
+-- surgery needed.
+--
+-- Spawn FKs: 4 rules currently target id=11 (was inactive — this is
+-- the R3 finding athena flagged, re-interpreted by m's Q5 as correct
+-- intent rather than broken state):
