Per-draft `language` column drives the .docx output language for the
submission generator. The lawyer picks DE or EN on the draft editor's
sidebar; the generator selects the language-matched template variant
(falling back through {code}.{lang} → {code} → _skeleton.{lang} →
_skeleton → letterhead) and resolves language-aware variables
({{procedural_event.name}} → name_de vs name_en).
Schema (mig 130 — bumped from 129 to deconflict with atlas's #96):
- paliad.submission_drafts.language text NOT NULL DEFAULT 'de'
CHECK IN ('de','en'). Existing rows inherit 'de' via the default,
preserving every legacy draft's behaviour byte-for-byte.
Backend (Go):
- SubmissionVarsContext.Lang overrides the user's UI lang. Build()
uses it when set; falls back to user.Lang otherwise — Slice 1's
format-only /generate path keeps working unchanged.
- SubmissionDraftService.BuildRenderBag now threads draft.Language
through. Create/EnsureLatest seed from the UI lang (DE default).
- DraftPatch.Language landed; Update validates and rejects values
outside {de,en}. Project-scoped + global PATCH endpoints both
surface the field.
- resolveSubmissionTemplate(ctx, code, lang) replaces the lang-less
predecessor. Returns the matched tier (per_code_lang / per_code /
skeleton_lang / skeleton / letterhead) so the editor knows whether
to surface the "Fallback: universelles Skelett" notice.
- fileRegistry registers the EN skeleton sibling (`_skeleton.en.docx`)
alongside the DE one; per-code EN variants land in a parallel
submissionTemplateENRegistry (empty for now — EN templates land per
HLC authoring). 404s from Gitea fall through silently.
- /api/projects/{id}/submissions/{code}/generate accepts
`?language=de|en` query override (one-shot path, no draft row to
pull the column from); defaults to the user's UI lang.
Frontend (TS/JSX):
- DE/EN radio above the variables list in the draft editor sidebar.
Switching the radio PATCHes `language` and the server returns the
freshly-resolved bag + preview HTML so the lawyer sees EN values
immediately.
- Fallback notice ("Fallback: universelles Skelett (keine
sprachspezifische Vorlage)") shows when the resolved tier doesn't
match the requested language.
- 4 new i18n keys (DE + EN) + CSS for the toggle.
Tests:
- normalizeDraftLanguage covers DE/EN/case/whitespace/unknown.
- addRuleVars language-pick test pins procedural_event.name and the
rule.name alias to the language-matched value.
- languageFallback truth table covers all 10 (lang × tier) combos.
Build hygiene: go build/vet/test clean; bun run build clean.
Renames the procedural-event surface of paliad.deadline_rules from
"rule" wording to "procedural event" / "Verfahrensschritt" wording.
No DB change, no API change, no Go-type rename. Fully reversible.
m's locks via head (2026-05-25):
- Q1=C: cosmetic now, structural rework (Slice B) as planned t-paliad-273.
- Q2: umbrella term = procedural event / Verfahrensschritt.
- Q7: legacy {{rule.X}} placeholder aliases kept forever (@deprecated).
- Q9: Slice B filed as on-hold task immediately.
Changes:
- internal/services/submission_vars.go: emit procedural_event.* keys
alongside legacy rule.* keys with identical values. Package + function
comments updated. Function name kept (addRuleVars) to avoid coupling
Slice A to the Go-type rename which is Slice B (B.5).
- internal/services/submission_vars_aliases_test.go (new): regression
test asserts (a) every (canonical, legacy) key pair resolves to the
same string for both DE and EN; (b) NULL source columns still emit
both keys with "". Removing either guard surfaces here.
- frontend/src/client/submission-draft.ts: placeholder catalog now
shows canonical procedural_event.* labels first; legacy rule.*
entries kept as "(legacy)"-marked aliases.
- frontend/src/client/i18n.ts: admin labels updated in place
("Regeln verwalten" → "Verfahrensschritte verwalten", etc.) under
existing admin.rules.* keys; canonical admin.procedural_events.*
keys added with identical values so .tsx files can rebind in Slice B.
- frontend/src/i18n-keys.ts: auto-regenerated by build pipeline.
Design doc: docs/design-procedural-events-model-2026-05-25.md (shipped
on the inventor branch mai/cronus/inventor-procedural).
Slice B (planned, on-hold): t-paliad-273.
Adds an end-to-end project-optional path for Schriftsatz drafts:
- Migration 120 drops NOT NULL on paliad.submission_drafts.project_id
and rewrites the four RLS policies to gate purely on user_id when
project_id IS NULL, otherwise on paliad.can_see_project. Down
refuses to run if project-less rows exist (safer than silent
data corruption).
- SubmissionDraft.ProjectID becomes *uuid.UUID end-to-end. Service
layer skips project/parties/deadline lookups when nil and exposes
DraftPatch.ProjectID for the "Projekt zuweisen" affordance.
ListAllForUser LEFT JOINs paliad.projects so project-less drafts
surface in the global index next to project-scoped ones.
- New HTTP surface:
GET /submissions/new (picker page)
GET /submissions/draft/{draft_id} (editor for any draft)
GET /api/submissions/catalog (catalog without project)
POST /api/submission-drafts (project-less or attached)
GET/PATCH/DELETE /api/submission-drafts/{draft_id}
POST /api/submission-drafts/{draft_id}/export
Existing /api/projects/{id}/submissions/... routes remain bit-
identical so the project-scoped flow keeps working unchanged.
- Frontend: /submissions/new lists the full cross-proceeding catalog
grouped by proceeding, filterable by text + chip. Each row offers
"Ohne Projekt" (instant draft) or "Mit Projekt…" (modal picker
with autocomplete over visible projects). /submissions index gains
a prominent "Neuer Entwurf" CTA and an empty-state CTA pointing at
the picker. The editor renders a banner + "Projekt zuweisen"
action when project_id is null; assigning persists project_id and
redirects to the project-scoped URL.
Audit + project-event writes detect d.ProjectID == nil; the audit
row's scope flips to 'user' (scope_root = user_id) and the
project_events row is skipped entirely.
Adds the dedicated Submissions/Schriftsätze editor at
/projects/{id}/submissions/{code}/draft (and …/draft/{draft_id}) per
docs/design-submission-page-2026-05-22.md.
Lawyer picks (or creates) a named draft, edits placeholder variables
in a sticky sidebar, sees a read-only HTML preview of the merged
document body, and exports a .docx with project state + lawyer
overrides resolved. Drafts persist in paliad.submission_drafts
keyed on (project_id, submission_code, user_id, name) with RLS via
can_see_project; updates and deletes additionally gated on owner-only
(Q-E4 owner-scoped pick, m-confirmed).
Resurrected from git history per the design's "no rewrite" plan:
SubmissionVarsService ← commit 1765d5e (Slice 2 with patent_number_upc)
SubmissionRenderer ← commit 8ea3509 (in-house merge engine — the
lukasjarosch/go-docx library refuses sibling
placeholders in one run, which patent submissions
use routinely)
ConvertDotmToDocx ← existing format-only convert (kept; reused as
pre-pass so .dotm inputs strip macros before
merge)
New code:
paliad.submission_drafts migration 119 (idempotent — DROP POLICY IF EXISTS
+ CREATE; CREATE OR REPLACE for the shared trigger
function). Applied to live DB.
SubmissionDraftService CRUD + autosave-friendly Update + Export/RenderPreview
entry points
RenderHTML method new on the renderer; walks the same merged
document.xml as Render but emits HTML for the
preview pane (Q-E3 server-side pick)
7 API handlers list / create / get / patch / delete / preview / export
2 page routes /draft and /draft/{draft_id}
submission-draft.tsx stand-alone editor page (header / sidebar /
preview / export button); served via
dist/submission-draft.html
submission-draft.ts client bundle — autosave (500ms debounce),
draft switcher, rename, delete, export with
blob download
Tab integration: existing /projects/{id}/#tab-submissions rows get
[Bearbeiten] alongside the existing [Generieren] one-click format-only
path — additive, no removal.
Slice A template: universal HL Patents Style .dotm (same path
t-paliad-230 uses). resolveSubmissionTemplate carries the
submission_code parameter so Slice B's TemplateRegistry wiring (per-
code .docx fallback chain) is a one-function swap.
Audit trail: paliad.system_audit_log row per export
(event_type='submission.exported') + paliad.project_events row
(event_type='submission_exported', timeline_kind='custom_milestone')
so the export surfaces on the project's Verlauf / SmartTimeline. No
paliad.documents write (Q-E2 inventor pick, head-ratified).
Tests: TestRender_* / TestPlaceholderRegex_* / TestRenderHTML_* +
TestLegalSourcePretty / TestOurSide* / TestPatentNumberUPC — all
green. go build / go vet / go test ./internal/... / bun run build all
clean.
Migration slot taken: 119.
m's 2026-05-21 scope reduction of the t-paliad-215 submission generator:
ship a demo that hands the lawyer the firm style template as a clean
.docx. No variable-merge engine, no per-submission template registry,
no fallback chain — the merge slice is deferred to a future task.
Replaces the previous engine (template registry + variable bag +
{{placeholder}} renderer + dual project_events/documents writes) with:
* services.ConvertDotmToDocx — single-function .dotm/.docm/.dotx → .docx
format converter that strips word/vbaProject.bin, word/vbaData.xml,
word/customizations.xml, and word/_rels/vbaProject.bin.rels, rewrites
[Content_Types].xml (demotes the macro/template main type to plain
docx, drops the .bin Default Extension and the macro Overrides), and
rewrites word/_rels/document.xml.rels to drop the vbaProject +
keyMapCustomizations relationships. Idempotent on a plain .docx.
archive/zip + regex stdlib only — no new third-party dependencies.
* handlers/submissions.go — POST /api/projects/{id}/submissions/{code}
/generate fetches the cached HL Patents Style .dotm (via a new
fetchHLPatentsStyleBytes accessor on files.go that shares the same
cache as /files/{slug}), converts, writes one paliad.system_audit_log
row (event_type='submission.generated', metadata={submission_code,
rule_name, filename}), and streams the .docx as an attachment. GET
/api/projects/{id}/submissions still lists filing rules but
has_template is unconditionally true (one universal template).
* Filename per design §7: {rule.name}-{project.case_number}-{YYYY-MM-DD}
.docx, with Umlauts ASCII-folded and slashes → underscores.
Drops services/submission_templates.go, services/submission_vars.go,
and the wiring in cmd/server/main.go + handlers/handlers.go that bound
them together. Frontend client switched to POST.
Verified the converter against the real HL Patents Style.dotm (361 KB
input → 243 KB output, 46 parts in output zip):
unzip -tq /tmp/hl-patents-style.converted.docx → No errors
python3 -c "import zipfile, xml.etree.ElementTree as ET; \
z=zipfile.ZipFile('/tmp/hl-patents-style.converted.docx'); \
[ET.fromstring(z.read(p)) for p in z.namelist() if p.endswith('.xml')]"
uv run --with python-docx python3 -c "import docx; \
d=docx.Document('/tmp/hl-patents-style.converted.docx'); \
print(len(d.paragraphs), 'paragraphs', len(d.styles), 'styles')"
→ 236 paragraphs, 168 styles, 1 section
All assertions passed: every Override in [Content_Types].xml resolves
to a real part, every internal Target in document.xml.rels resolves,
zero macro-related residue, and the document body + styles + theme
survive untouched.
go test -run TestBootSmoke ./cmd/server/... clean (route additions
register without conflict on the Go ServeMux).
Backend: mig 110/111 (will be renumbered after merging main),
validators + helpers widened, BuildProjectCode helper + projection
populator wired into List/GetByID/ListAncestors/GetTree/CCR. All
internal Go tests pass.
Frontend: ProjectFormFields conditional render — opponent_code on
litigation, our_side renamed to Client Role on case with grouped
optgroups. i18n keys for both DE and EN. fristenrechner perspective
mapping widened. project-form.ts payload reader/writer + showFieldsForType
toggle for new litigation block.
Migration slots about to be bumped (mig 110 was claimed by euler's
project_type_other on main).
UPC briefs parenthesise the patent kind code ("EP 1 234 567 (B1)")
where the DE convention runs it inline ("EP 1 234 567 B1"). Slice 2
adds the {{project.patent_number_upc}} placeholder for the new UPC
templates (Q-S2-4 locked at 'all yes' on 2026-05-20).
Pure function alongside legalSourcePretty. Trailing single-letter +
single-digit kind code regex; everything else preserved. Pass-through
on unrecognised shapes — the lawyer's draft never sees a number worse
than the source value.
Wired into addProjectVars so every render exposes both forms
({{project.patent_number}} and {{project.patent_number_upc}}). UPC
templates pull the parenthesised form; DE templates ignore it.
8 test cases (more than the 6 in the brief) covering:
- EP B1 / EP A1 — common case
- DE national with kind code
- No kind code → pass-through
- Whitespace trimming
- Empty input
- WO publication number (no kind-code shape) → pass-through
- Two-digit kind code (B12) → pass-through (intentional — real EP
kind codes are single-letter + single-digit)
No schema change, no migration, no var-bag namespace additions
beyond the one new placeholder.
TemplateRegistry (services/submission_templates.go) walks the
m-locked Q4 fallback chain — templates/{FIRM_NAME}/{code}.docx →
templates/_base/{code}.docx → templates/_base/{family}.docx →
templates/_base/_skeleton.docx — against the Gitea repo
HL/mWorkRepo. SHA-cache + 5-min refresh check, identical pattern to
internal/handlers/files.go's HL Patents Style proxy. Distinguishes
"no template" (chain fallthrough) from "Gitea down" so the handler
can render different UI for each.
SubmissionVarsService (services/submission_vars.go) assembles the
~30-placeholder bag from project + parties + rule + next-deadline +
user + firm + today. Locale-aware long-date forms (DE + EN) and a
legal_source pretty-printer that rewrites DE.ZPO.276.1 → "§ 276 Abs.
1 ZPO" / "Section 276(1) ZPO" for the prefixes the 254-rule corpus
uses today. Unknown prefixes pass through unchanged.
Visibility inherits from ProjectService.GetByID
(paliad.can_see_project) — unauthorised callers get the same
ErrNotVisible that every project surface returns.
