feat(db,services): Slice B.4 destructive drop — paliad.deadline_rules retired, INSTEAD OF triggers on view route writes (mig 140, t-paliad-305 / m/paliad#93)

Drops the legacy paliad.deadline_rules table after 3 weeks of dual-write
shadowing (mig 136 → B.2 dual-write → B.3 read cutover via view). The
new tables — paliad.procedural_events, paliad.sequencing_rules,
paliad.legal_sources — are the sole source of truth from this commit
forward.

Pre-flip drift verified clean against prod:
  deadline_rules=231 == sequencing_rules=231 == procedural_events=231
  legal_sources=87
  missing_sr=0, orphaned_sr=0, mismatched_lifecycle=0

* internal/db/migrations/140_drop_deadline_rules.up.sql (new) —
  Single TX, audit-first:
  1. CREATE TABLE paliad.deadline_rules_pre_140 AS TABLE paliad.deadline_rules
     (precedent migs 091/093/095/098 — snapshot in same TX as destructive op).
  2. Final reconciliation UPDATE on paliad.deadlines (no-op when
     drift is already 0; defensive against last-minute writes).
  3. DROP TRIGGER deadline_rules_audit_aiud.
  4. Re-point FKs to sequencing_rules:
     - paliad.appointments.deadline_rule_id → paliad.sequencing_rules(id)
     - paliad.deadline_rule_backfill_orphans.resolved_rule_id → paliad.sequencing_rules(id)
     (the id values are identical — sr.id inherited dr.id at mig 136.)
  5. DROP COLUMN paliad.deadlines.rule_id.
  6. DROP TABLE paliad.deadline_rules.
  7. CREATE INSTEAD OF INSERT + INSTEAD OF UPDATE triggers on
     paliad.deadline_rules_unified. Triggers route writes into the
     three new tables in the same TX, preserving the legacy column
     shape on the wire so RuleEditorService SQL only needs a
     table-name swap, not a structural rewrite. Synthetic-code mint
     expression is byte-identical to mig 136 + the B.2 dual-write
     helper. POST assertions confirm the table is gone, the column
     is gone, and the snapshot matches.

  Trigger design notes (1:N caveat documented in-trigger):
  - PE identity columns (code, name, name_en, description, event_kind,
    primary_party_default, legal_source_id, concept_id) mirror from
    the writing sequencing-rule.
  - PE lifecycle columns (lifecycle_state, published_at, is_active)
    deliberately do NOT mirror — a draft sequencing-rule cloned from
    a published source shares the source's PE; we don't want the
    clone's 'draft' lifecycle to leak back onto the source's PE.
    Practical bound today (1:1 corpus); explicit comment in-trigger
    for the eventual 1:N pattern.

* internal/db/migrations/140_drop_deadline_rules.down.sql (new) —
  Best-effort restore from the snapshot. Triggers / indexes /
  CHECK constraints from historical migrations are NOT replayed;
  operator must reapply 078/079/091/095/098/122/128/134/135 to
  bring the restored table to working shape. The down path is for
  catastrophic recovery, not casual revert.

* internal/services/rule_editor_service.go —
  Six syncDualWriteFromDeadlineRule(...) calls removed (the
  INSTEAD OF triggers now do the fan-out). Five
  INSERT/UPDATE paliad.deadline_rules statements (Create,
  UpdateDraft, CloneAsDraft INSERT+SELECT, Publish, peer-archive,
  flipLifecycle) renamed to paliad.deadline_rules_unified —
  trigger handles the routing.

* internal/services/rule_editor_orphans.go — ResolveOrphan no
  longer writes deadlines.rule_id (column dropped). Sets
  sequencing_rule_id directly + derives procedural_event_id from
  the matching sequencing_rules row in the same UPDATE statement.

* internal/services/deadline_service.go — deadlineColumns now
  lists sequencing_rule_id (Deadline.RuleID still binds to it via
  the db tag rename below). Update path's appendSet("rule_id",…)
  flipped to appendSet("sequencing_rule_id",…) and post-write
  derivation moved to the renamed syncDeadlineProceduralEventID
  helper.

* internal/services/projection_service.go,
  internal/services/submission_vars.go — `WHERE rule_id = $X`
  reads on paliad.deadlines flipped to sequencing_rule_id.

* internal/models/models.go — Deadline.RuleID db tag changed from
  "rule_id" to "sequencing_rule_id". Field name + JSON name kept
  for backward compat with the frontend and existing Go callers;
  semantic value is identical (same UUID).

* internal/services/dual_write.go — Massively trimmed.
  Removed: syncDualWriteFromDeadlineRule, syncDeadlineDualLinks,
  CheckDualWriteDrift, DualWriteDriftReport, HasDrift,
  StartDualWriteDriftCheckLoop. All referenced
  paliad.deadline_rules which no longer exists.
  Kept (renamed): syncDeadlineProceduralEventID — derives
  procedural_event_id from sequencing_rule_id after any
  DeadlineService.Update that touched the back-link.

* cmd/server/main.go — Removed the StartDualWriteDriftCheckLoop
  bootstrap call (and its `time` import that only that call
  needed). Comment notes the retirement.

* internal/services/dual_write_test.go — Removed the final
  CheckDualWriteDrift assertion in
  TestDualWrite_RuleEditorLifecycle (function deleted). The
  per-step asserts against procedural_events / sequencing_rules
  / legal_sources cover the same contract by direct query.

Hard rules followed:
- Audit-first: snapshot precedes destructive ops in the same TX.
- No silent data loss: pre-drop drift was zero; snapshot captures
  the final state; FK re-points use identical UUIDs.
- INSTEAD OF triggers documented in mig 140 — single source of
  truth for the legacy→new mapping.
- Down migration is honest about its scope (catastrophic recovery
  only).

Build + vet clean. TestMigrations_NoDuplicateSlot passes. Live-DB
tests skipped (no TEST_DATABASE_URL in this env) — they'll exercise
the full mig 140 + INSTEAD OF triggers in CI.

+# Paliad CI gate (t-paliad-282 / m/paliad#114).
+#
+# Single workflow, two purposes:
+#
+#   - On every push: gate tier — build + unit + migration smoke. Red gate
+#     means no further work and (on main) no deploy.
+#   - On push to main with gate green: deploy step — calls the Dokploy
+#     compose-deploy API for paliad's compose Zx147ycurfYagKRl_Zzyo, then
+#     polls /health/ready until the new container reports 200.
+#
+# The deploy step REPLACES the previous Gitea-push → Dokploy webhook path
+# (per m's Q11.4 pick: soft-launch with both alive for ~1 week, then
+# disable the Dokploy auto-deploy toggle). Soft-launch leaves Dokploy's
+# autoDeploy=true intact today — the workflow's deploy step is additive
+# and idempotent (Dokploy's deploy is itself idempotent).
+#
+# Catches the three failure classes from 2026-05-25:
+#
+#   - brunel slot collision (~13:20) — TestMigrations_NoDuplicateSlot,
+#     pure unit, no DB needed.
+#   - hermes dropped-col refs (~16:05) — TestBootSmoke, applies all NEW
+#     migrations (those not in the snapshot) end-to-end against a
+#     scratch DB restored from internal/db/testdata/prod-snapshot.sql.
+#   - mig 129 42501 ownership (~14:56→) — TestMigrations_EndToEndAsAppRole,
+#     applies new migrations as the prod-shaped `postgres` role (which
+#     is NOT a superuser on supabase/postgres — same shape as
+#     youpc-supabase prod, see internal/db/testdata/README.md).
+#
+# Snapshot approach: dump paliad schema + applied_migrations rows from
+# prod, commit them. CI restores → ApplyMigrations sees existing migs as
+# applied, only runs NEW migs (the ones this PR adds). This sidesteps the
+# fresh-DB idempotence requirement on historical migrations (some of
+# which use raw COMMIT or pre-installed extensions and can't be replayed
+# from scratch). To refresh: `make refresh-snapshot`.

+# gen-upc-snapshot
+
+Regenerates the embedded UPC snapshot consumed by
+`pkg/litigationplanner/embedded/upc`. Slice C of the litigation-planner
+extraction (m/paliad#124 §19). See
+`docs/design-litigation-planner-2026-05-26.md` §19 for the full design.
+
+## When to regenerate
+
+After any change that affects the public UPC rule corpus:
+
+- new rules merged via the admin rule-editor
+- a deadline-rule migration that touches UPC rows
+- a `paliad.holidays` update (new public holidays / vacation runs)
+- a `paliad.courts` update (new UPC LD opens, etc.)
+- a `paliad.proceeding_types` change for `jurisdiction = 'UPC'`
+
+The snapshot is operator-controlled — there is no CI regeneration in v1.
+
+## How to regenerate
+
+```sh
+make snapshot-upc
+```
+
+or directly:
+
+```sh
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://...  go run ./cmd/gen-upc-snapshot
+```
+
+Flags:
+
+| Flag            | Default                                | Purpose |
+|-----------------|----------------------------------------|---------|
+| `-output`       | `./pkg/litigationplanner/embedded/upc` | directory to write JSON files into |
+| `-version`      | auto-derived (`YYYY-MM-DD-N`)          | override the snapshot version |
+| `-source-label` | empty                                  | text label written to `meta.json` (`paliad-prod`, `paliad-dev`, …) |
+
+The generator:
+
+1. Applies pending migrations against `DATABASE_URL` (snapshot always matches schema HEAD).
+2. SELECTs UPC active proceeding_types + their published+active rules + referenced trigger_events + DE/UPC holidays + UPC courts.
+3. Writes pretty-printed JSON to `<output>/{proceeding_types,rules,trigger_events,holidays,courts,meta}.json`.
+
+## Idempotence
+
+Running twice with the same DB state produces the same JSON (modulo `meta.generated_at`). Diff-friendly in git.
+
+## Versioning
+
+`meta.json.version` uses `YYYY-MM-DD-N` where N starts at 1 and increments on same-day regenerations. The generator reads the existing `meta.json` and bumps automatically.
+
+## After regeneration
+
+1. Review the diff: `git diff pkg/litigationplanner/embedded/upc/`.
+2. Run tests: `go test ./pkg/litigationplanner/embedded/upc/...`.
+3. Commit with a message like `chore(snapshot): regenerate UPC snapshot (<reason>)`.
+4. Notify any downstream consumer (youpc.org) that a new paliad release is available.

+# CI/CD runner setup — paliad
+
+**Companion to:** `docs/design-cicd-pre-deploy-gate-2026-05-25.md` (Slice A, t-paliad-282 / m/paliad#114)
+**Date:** 2026-05-25
+**Audience:** mlake / mriver admin (m or head)
+
+Slice A's `.gitea/workflows/test.yaml` requires (a) at least one online Gitea Actions runner and (b) a Dokploy API token wired as a repo secret. Both are one-time setup actions that paliad's source tree cannot perform itself — they live on infra-side. This doc lists them so the workflow can go green on its first run.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Pre-flight: what already exists
+
+Verified live (2026-05-25 cronus inventor shift):
+
+- Gitea 1.24.4 on `mgit.msbls.de`, `has_actions: true` on `m/paliad`.
+- `/api/v1/admin/actions/runners` reports **2 runners** registered. They are likely the shared runners used by `m/mGreen` and `m/mGeo` (both have `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` with `runs-on: self-hosted`).
+- `m/paliad/actions/tasks` reports `total_count=0` — paliad has never run a workflow yet.
+
+The existing runners may already be capable of running paliad's workflow without further setup. The verification step (§3) below tells you whether they are.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Runner placement decision (m's Q11.1)
+
+m's pick: **mriver**.
+
+Rationale: mriver hosts the mai worker fleet but workers spend most of their time waiting on Anthropic. mlake's Dokploy + Swarm workload is more contended. A new runner on mriver adds the least pressure to either box.
+
+If mriver is offline or saturated when CI first fires, fall back to the existing mlake-side runners (they're already registered; no provisioning needed).
+
+---
+
+## 2. One-time setup (admin steps)
+
+### 2.1 Register a new Gitea Actions runner on mriver
+
+```bash
+# On mriver, as m:
+# 1. Download the act_runner binary (matching Gitea 1.24.x)
+curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/act_runner \
+  https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner/releases/download/v0.2.13/act_runner-0.2.13-linux-amd64
+chmod +x /usr/local/bin/act_runner
+
+# 2. Get a runner registration token. In the Gitea UI:
+#    /admin → Actions → Runners → "Create new Runner"
+#    (or org-scope: /m/paliad/settings/actions/runners)
+# Copy the token.
+
+# 3. Register
+mkdir -p ~/act_runner && cd ~/act_runner
+act_runner register --no-interactive \
+  --instance https://mgit.msbls.de \
+  --token <REGISTRATION_TOKEN> \
+  --name mriver-paliad-1 \
+  --labels ubuntu-latest:docker://node:20-bookworm
+
+# 4. Run as a systemd unit (preferred) or as a session daemon
+# Systemd unit example: /etc/systemd/system/act_runner.service
+#   [Unit]
+#   Description=Gitea Actions runner
+#   After=network.target
+#   [Service]
+#   User=m
+#   WorkingDirectory=/home/m/act_runner
+#   ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/act_runner daemon
+#   Restart=on-failure
+#   [Install]
+#   WantedBy=multi-user.target
+sudo systemctl enable --now act_runner
+sudo systemctl status act_runner
+```
+
+**Why `ubuntu-latest:docker://node:20-bookworm` for the label?** Gitea Actions' `runs-on: ubuntu-latest` resolves via the runner's label map. Mapping it to a Docker image gives the workflow a sandbox with Docker available — required for our Postgres service container in `test.yaml`. mriver should have Docker (for `paliadin-shim`); if not, install it.
+
+### 2.2 Register the Dokploy API token as a repo secret
+
+The workflow's `deploy` job needs `secrets.DOKPLOY_TOKEN`. Use the existing project-wide Dokploy API key (the one stored in `~/.claude/skills/mai-dokploy/SKILL.md`).
+
+In the Gitea UI:
+- Navigate to `https://mgit.msbls.de/m/paliad/settings/actions/secrets`
+- Click "Add secret"
+  - Name: `DOKPLOY_TOKEN`
+  - Value: `mai-ottosSyRHMhmLhhhXaCbKzbqKBuSqzqEtmKDOPelPCeimTaYsbmaVslVyEgJZGCIxVdz`
+
+Or via API (mAi identity):
+```bash
+curl --netrc-file ~/.netrc-mai -sS -X POST \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  https://mgit.msbls.de/api/v1/repos/m/paliad/actions/secrets/DOKPLOY_TOKEN \
+  -d '{"data":"mai-ottosSyRHMhmLhhhXaCbKzbqKBuSqzqEtmKDOPelPCeimTaYsbmaVslVyEgJZGCIxVdz"}'
+```
+
+(Requires repo-owner permission. If mAi lacks it, m runs it.)
+
+---
+
+## 3. Verify the runner sees the workflow
+
+After (2.1) + (2.2):
+
+```bash
+# Push the Slice A branch (the one this doc lives on)
+git push origin mai/cronus/coder-cicd-slice-a
+
+# Confirm the runner picked up the job
+curl --netrc-file ~/.netrc-mai -sS \
+  "https://mgit.msbls.de/api/v1/repos/m/paliad/actions/tasks?limit=5" | jq '.'
+```
+
+A new task per job should appear (build, test-go). If `total_count` stays 0, the runner labels don't match the workflow's `runs-on`. Re-register with `--labels ubuntu-latest` (no docker:// suffix) and the existing runners on mlake will pick it up via shell mode.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Soft-launch (m's Q11.4)
+
+m's pick: **keep both Dokploy auto-deploy and the workflow's deploy step alive for ~1 week. After ≥5 successful green deploys via the workflow, disable Dokploy's autoDeploy in the Dokploy UI for the paliad compose.**
+
+While both are live, every push to main fires:
+1. Dokploy webhook (existing path) → deploys immediately, no gate.
+2. Gitea workflow → on green, ALSO calls `compose.deploy`.
+
+The second call is idempotent — if Dokploy already deployed the same commit, this is a no-op. The workflow's value during soft-launch is the **gate signal**: a red workflow on a green main = the bad migration shipped via the unguarded webhook and broke prod, and the workflow is shouting about it.
+
+After confidence builds:
+1. In the Dokploy UI, navigate to the paliad compose → Settings.
+2. Toggle "Auto Deploy" off.
+3. Save.
+
+From this point, the only path to deploy is the workflow's deploy job. Red workflow = no deploy.
+
+---
+
+## 5. What Slice A catches today — and what it doesn't
+
+After this branch (`mai/cronus/coder-cicd-slice-a`) merges to main:
+
+### Catches (active in CI)
+
+- **Build breakage** — `go build`, `go vet`, `bun run build`. Red gate, no deploy.
+- **Slot collisions** — `TestMigrations_NoDuplicateSlot` runs without a DB. A PR adding migration N when version N already exists fails at gate time. This is the brunel-class catch (m/paliad#114 ~13:20 outage).
+- **New-migration shape errors (hermes class)** — `TestBootSmoke` runs `ApplyMigrations` against the snapshot-restored DB. New migs from this PR get applied for real; any column/relation/syntax error fails the gate before merge.
+- **New-migration ownership errors (mig 129 42501 class)** — `TestMigrations_EndToEndAsAppRole` runs `ApplyMigrations` connected as `postgres` (NON-superuser on `supabase/postgres:15.8.1.060`, same role topology as youpc-supabase prod). Any migration that assumes supabase_admin privilege fails with the same `42501 must be owner` error class that took paliad.de offline on 2026-05-25.
+- **Readiness probe regressions** — `TestHealthReady_Live` confirms `/health/ready` returns 200 against a live pool, 503 against a nil pool.
+- **Pure-Go test regressions** — `go test ./internal/... ./cmd/...` runs without `TEST_DATABASE_URL` (live-DB service tests skip the same way they do on a developer laptop without a scratch DB).
+
+### Mechanism — the snapshot approach
+
+CI's scratch DB starts from a `pg_dump` of youpc-supabase paliad schema +
+`paliad.applied_migrations` rows, committed to `internal/db/testdata/prod-snapshot.sql`. After restore, the scratch DB is at "paliad HEAD of snapshot" and `ApplyMigrations` sees only this PR's new migrations as pending.
+
+This sidesteps the fresh-DB idempotence problem: several historical migrations (notably mig 037's missing `CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm`, mig 051's inner `COMMIT;`) can't be replayed from scratch against `supabase/postgres:15.8.1.060`. The snapshot pins everything that's already applied in prod and lets CI focus on what's new — which is what we actually care about for outage prevention.
+
+Snapshot refresh: `make refresh-snapshot` with `PALIAD_PROD_DATABASE_URL` set (see `internal/db/testdata/README.md`).
+
+### Known gap — live-DB service tests don't run in CI
+
+`internal/services/*_test.go` tests with `TEST_DATABASE_URL` set fail against `supabase/postgres:15.8.1.060` with `42P08 inconsistent types deduced for parameter` errors on some INSERT bind paths. The same tests pass against youpc-supabase prod. Cause is unconfirmed — likely subtle differences in type inference between the dockerized image and the prod cluster's configuration. CI today runs `go test ./...` without `TEST_DATABASE_URL` so these tests skip. Not blocking outage prevention; tracked as a follow-up for the post-Slice-A coder.
+
+### Migration cleanup also bundled in this PR
+
+Two surgical migration improvements that surfaced during snapshot debugging — kept here because they're small and harmless:
+
+- **mig 024 + 027** — `ALTER INDEX` / `ALTER POLICY` exception handlers now catch `undefined_object` OR `undefined_table` OR `duplicate_object`. Old handler caught only `undefined_object`; Postgres raises `undefined_table` when the source object never existed and `duplicate_object` when the destination already exists. The expanded handler makes the migrations truly idempotent across the three plausible states: source-still-German (rename succeeds), already-renamed (catches duplicate_object), and fresh-DB-never-had-German (catches undefined_table).
+
+Other migration history bugs (mig 037 missing pg_trgm, mig 051 inner COMMIT) are tracked as a separate cleanup task — not blocking, because the snapshot bypasses them.
+
+### Verification checklist (after Slice A merges)
+
+1. **Workflow green on its first PR run?** Check `/m/paliad/actions`. If not, fix before merging.
+2. **Dokploy `compose.deploy` call succeeds?** The workflow's `deploy` job logs the POST response. A successful response is a Dokploy job ID; a 4xx is an auth or compose-id problem.
+3. **`/health/ready` returns 200 within 5 minutes after a green deploy?** The workflow polls this. If it times out, the migration may have failed silently inside the new container — check `docker logs --tail 50 compose-transmit-multi-byte-driver-v7jth9-web-1` on mlake.
+4. **Reproduce the slot-collision catch locally:** rename `131_…up.sql` to `129_…` (duplicate slot) → workflow MUST fail at `Migration coordination check`. Revert before pushing.
+5. **Reproduce the role-split catch locally:** add a no-op migration `132_test_supersedes.up.sql` containing `REINDEX SYSTEM paliad_scratch;` (requires superuser). Workflow MUST fail at `Migration end-to-end (deploy role)`. Revert before pushing.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Future polish (Slice D, m's Q4 R-pick)
+
+`mai-test` post-merge shift: once Slice A is stable, wire a Gitea webhook on push-to-main that fires `/mai-test` as a follow-up shift. It runs the broader smoke + integration suite and posts results as a Gitea commit status. Not blocking; the gate doesn't depend on it.
+
+Implementation belongs in `m/mAi` (the mai webhook handler), not in paliad. Out of scope for Slice A.

+# Design — Per-event-card optional choices on the Verfahrensablauf timeline
+
+**Author:** atlas (inventor)
+**Date:** 2026-05-25
+**Task:** t-paliad-265 (m/paliad#96)
+**Branch:** `mai/atlas/inventor-per-event-card`
+**Status:** READY FOR REVIEW — m gates inventor → coder transition.
+
+---
+
+## 0. TL;DR
+
+> **m's decisions landed 2026-05-25** — see §11. Persisted table, caret+popover, per-card-overrides-page-level, and m chose to bundle Slice A + Slice B into one coder shift (over the inventor (R) of "Slice A first"). All other picks matched inventor recommendations.
+
+The Verfahrensablauf timeline today carries **two** projection knobs at the page level — `side` (who-we-are) and `appellant` (who-initiated). Both are **global** for the whole timeline. m wants three more knobs, but **per event card**, not page-level:
+
+1. **Appellant per decision card** — if a decision is appealable, the user picks which side appealed (Claimant / Defendant / Both / None). Different decisions in the same timeline can have different appellants.
+2. **Include Nichtigkeitswiderklage on Klageerwiderung** — toggling this on a single Klageerwiderung card flips on the existing `with_ccr` flag for everything downstream of that card.
+3. **Skip an optional event** — for any rule marked `priority='optional'`, a per-card "don't consider for this case" toggle hides downstream consequences.
+
+The flow these choices drive is **already there** — `condition_expr` jsonb gates (`with_ccr`, `with_amend`, `with_cci`) plus the page-level appellant selector. What's missing is (a) **per-card** scope and (b) **per-project persistence**.
+
+Recommendation: persist choices in a new `paliad.project_event_choices` table; expose them through a popover-on-caret affordance on the relevant cards only; map them into the existing `CalcOptions.Flags` + a new per-rule `Appellants` map at projection time. Two slices: **Slice A** (appellant-per-decision + skip-optional, narrow + bounded), **Slice B** (include-CCR-on-Klageerwiderung, requires per-card flag-scoping in the projection engine — bigger).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Premises verified live (before designing)
+
+CLAUDE.md / memory / issue text can drift; the live system can't. Each load-bearing premise below was probed against the live DB or live source on 2026-05-25.
+
+### Schema
+
+- **Migration tracker at 127** (`paliad.paliad_schema_migrations`). Next migration: 128. No new table for `project_event_choices` exists today.
+- **`paliad.deadline_rules` carries `condition_expr jsonb`** already. The flag-evaluation engine (`internal/services/fristenrechner.go:208 Calculate`, `evalConditionExpr` at line ~947) walks the jsonb tree and skips rules whose gate is unsatisfied. Today's gates are `{"flag":"with_ccr"}`, `{"flag":"with_amend"}`, `{"flag":"with_cci"}`, and `{"op":"and","args":[…]}` combinations.
+- **`with_ccr` is the existing Nichtigkeitswiderklage gate.** Verified live: 7 upc.inf.cfi rules gate on it (`upc.inf.cfi.reply`, `…rejoin`, `…ccr`, `…def_to_ccr`, `…reply_def_ccr`, `…rejoin_reply_ccr`, plus `upc.inf.cfi.app_to_amend` which additionally requires `with_amend`).
+- **`priority` column** has 4 values: `mandatory`, `recommended`, `optional`, `informational`. Live counts (deadline_rules table-wide): 230 mandatory / 18 recommended / 6 optional / (informational not in count, must be 0 or absent). The "skip optional" affordance keys off `priority='optional'`.
+- **`event_type` discriminator** exists with values `filing`, `decision`, `hearing`. The "appellant-per-decision" affordance keys off `event_type='decision'`. Live: every decision rule has `primary_party='court'`.
+- **`paliad.projects.our_side`** exists (column added before mig 112; values today include `claimant|defendant|applicant|appellant|respondent|third_party|other`). It is the broad project-level side axis t-paliad-257 / #88 hooked into.
+- **NO `appellant` column on `paliad.projects`** — the appellant axis lives only in the URL query (`?appellant=claimant|defendant`) in `client/verfahrensablauf.ts:73-89`.
+
+### Frontend
+
+- `frontend/src/client/views/verfahrensablauf-core.ts` is the **shared rendering core** for both `/tools/verfahrensablauf` and `/tools/fristenrechner`. Per-card UI affordances added here surface on both pages automatically.
+- `bucketDeadlinesIntoColumns(deadlines, {side, appellant})` (line 496) is the **pure routing primitive**; column placement is computed without DOM. Unit-tested in `verfahrensablauf-core.test.ts`.
+- `deadlineCardHtml(dl, {showParty, editable, showNotes})` (line 254) is the **per-card renderer**. There is no per-card props channel for "choices" yet — that's the surface this design extends.
+- `client/verfahrensablauf.ts` and `client/fristenrechner.ts` both manage `currentSide` + `currentAppellant` in-memory and round-trip them through the URL (`writeSideToURL` / `writeAppellantToURL`). The pattern is mature; this design mirrors it for the new state when state stays URL-bound, and lifts it into a server-persisted store when state stays per-project.
+- `APPELLANT_AXIS_PROCEEDINGS` set (verfahrensablauf.ts:52-62) gates the page-level appellant selector to appeal-flavoured proceedings only. The per-card appellant affordance MUST NOT depend on this set — any first-instance decision is a potential appeal trigger (e.g. LG-Urteil → Berufung, BPatG-Entscheidung → BGH-Rechtsbeschwerde).
+
+### Surfaces in scope
+
+- **`/tools/verfahrensablauf`** — abstract browse, no project context. Per-card choices here are ephemeral (URL-bound) — there's no project to persist into.
+- **`/tools/fristenrechner`** — concrete projection, optionally project-bound via `?project=<id>` (`currentStep1Context.kind === "project"`). When project-bound, per-card choices persist to `paliad.project_event_choices`. When unbound, URL only.
+- **`/projects/{id}` Verlauf tab (SmartTimeline)** — separate widget (per `docs/design-smart-timeline-2026-05-08.md`); does **NOT** use `renderColumnsBody`. Per-card choices are NOT in scope for the SmartTimeline in v1 — the Verfahrensablauf core is.
+
+### What is NOT premised
+
+- The deadline_rules → procedural_events rename (#93) is **not assumed shipped**. This design uses `deadline_rules`/`rule_code` vocabulary throughout and flags the rename touch-points in §6.
+- The per-card UI does NOT require new server-side priority/event_type semantics. Both `priority='optional'` and `event_type='decision'` exist on every row.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Vision + scope
+
+m's vision (verbatim 2026-05-25 15:12):
+
+> We still have no choice to say that a specific party appealed. We may need selections within the event cards on the timeline to change it? For example for a decision we could check Appeal by... or in Klageerwiderung we can chose to include a Nichtigkeitswiderklage. Or with any optional event we can select not to consider it (because someone decided not to file it).
+
+### What changes
+
+- A **caret affordance** (▾) appears on the right edge of cards that have at least one applicable choice-kind. Click → small popover with the choices. Cards without an applicable choice render unchanged.
+- A **`choices_offered` jsonb column** on `paliad.deadline_rules` declares which choice-kinds each rule offers. Three kinds in v1:
+  - `appellant` — applicable to rules with `event_type='decision'` (no static list; engine decides).
+  - `include_ccr` — applicable to the single Klageerwiderung rule per proceeding (today: `upc.inf.cfi.def`, `de.inf.lg.erwidg`).
+  - `skip` — applicable to any rule with `priority='optional'`.
+- A **new persistence table** `paliad.project_event_choices(project_id, rule_code, choice_kind, choice_value)` holds the user's choices. Per-project, audit-logged via `paliad.system_audit_log`.
+- A **projection-time merge** turns the persisted choices into `CalcOptions.Flags` and a new `PerCardAppellants map[ruleCode]string` field, then re-runs the existing projection engine. No new flag types; `with_ccr` is the same `with_ccr`.
+
+### What stays
+
+- `bucketDeadlinesIntoColumns` and `renderColumnsBody` are extended (new opts), not replaced.
+- `condition_expr` jsonb gating semantics are unchanged. Per-card `include_ccr` choice simply means "set `with_ccr` in the flag set for this projection" — same engine.
+- Page-level `side` / `appellant` selectors stay. The per-card appellant choice is an **override layer** on top of the page-level appellant (Q4 below).
+- URL-state plumbing (`?side=…`, `?appellant=…`) stays. The page-level URL params remain the only state for unbound `/tools/verfahrensablauf`.
+
+### Out of scope (v1)
+
+- Per-card choices on the SmartTimeline (project Verlauf tab). Deferred to a follow-up when SmartTimeline matures.
+- Versioning of choices over time ("the appellant changed mid-case", "the CCR was withdrawn"). Choices are last-write-wins.
+- Cross-project propagation of choices.
+- Implementing the choice flow (coder task per slice; this is design-only).
+- A "what-if scenarios" mode (saved named scenarios).

+
+## 3. Data model
+
+### 3.1 The new table
+
+```sql
+-- migration 128_project_event_choices.up.sql
+CREATE TABLE paliad.project_event_choices (
+  id          uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  project_id  uuid NOT NULL REFERENCES paliad.projects(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+  rule_code   text NOT NULL,                       -- e.g. "RoP.029.a" or "de.inf.lg.urteil"
+  choice_kind text NOT NULL,                       -- 'appellant' | 'include_ccr' | 'skip'
+  choice_value text NOT NULL,                      -- value namespace per kind (see §3.3)
+  created_by  uuid REFERENCES paliad.users(id) ON DELETE SET NULL,
+  created_at  timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  updated_by  uuid REFERENCES paliad.users(id) ON DELETE SET NULL,
+  updated_at  timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+
+  -- One choice per (project, rule_code, kind). Re-pick is an UPDATE.
+  UNIQUE (project_id, rule_code, choice_kind)
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX project_event_choices_project_idx
+  ON paliad.project_event_choices (project_id);
+
+-- RLS: same `paliad.can_see_project(project_id)` predicate as paliad.deadlines.
+ALTER TABLE paliad.project_event_choices ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
+CREATE POLICY project_event_choices_select ON paliad.project_event_choices
+  FOR SELECT USING (paliad.can_see_project(project_id));
+CREATE POLICY project_event_choices_mutate ON paliad.project_event_choices
+  FOR ALL USING (paliad.can_see_project(project_id))
+  WITH CHECK (paliad.can_see_project(project_id));
+```
+
+**Why this shape:**
+- Tall not wide — adding a 4th choice-kind in slice C means one more allowed `choice_kind` value, no DDL.
+- `rule_code` is the join key against `paliad.deadline_rules` (which already uses `rule_code` widely — `Calculate`, `AnchorOverrides`, the projection). Stable across rule renames provided the rename keeps the same `rule_code`.
+- UNIQUE per `(project, rule_code, kind)` makes the choice idempotent — re-picking the appellant overwrites, doesn't accumulate.
+- ON DELETE CASCADE follows the project — when a project is hard-deleted (rare; usually soft-status), the choices go with it.
+
+### 3.2 The opt-in column on `paliad.deadline_rules`
+
+```sql
+-- migration 128_project_event_choices.up.sql (same migration)
+ALTER TABLE paliad.deadline_rules
+  ADD COLUMN choices_offered jsonb;
+
+-- Example seeded values (in the same migration's data-fix block):
+--
+--   upc.inf.cfi.def → '{"include_ccr": [true, false]}'
+--   de.inf.lg.erwidg → '{"include_ccr": [true, false]}'
+--   upc.inf.cfi.decision → '{"appellant": ["claimant", "defendant", "both", "none"]}'
+--   de.inf.lg.urteil → '{"appellant": ["claimant", "defendant", "both", "none"]}'
+--   (every event_type='decision' rule)
+--   upc.inf.cfi.ccr (priority='optional') → '{"skip": [true, false]}'
+--   (every priority='optional' rule)
+```
+
+**Alternative considered + rejected:** infer offering at projection-time from `(event_type, priority, submission_code)` heuristics. Rejected because:
+- The Klageerwiderung rule is identified only by its `submission_code` slug. Tying the engine to a hardcoded slug list inside the projection service is brittle (mig 124 + future Wave-1 fixes rename slugs); declaring `choices_offered` in data lets the audit ship them without a code change.
+- A `skip` toggle that's automatically derived from `priority='optional'` is consistent today but may diverge tomorrow (an optional rule we DON'T want skippable, or a non-optional rule we DO want skippable). The opt-in jsonb keeps the choice axis decoupled from `priority`.
+
+### 3.3 Value namespaces per kind
+
+| `choice_kind` | `choice_value` valid set | Default when no row exists |
+|---|---|---|
+| `appellant` | `"claimant"` / `"defendant"` / `"both"` / `"none"` | inherits page-level appellant (URL `?appellant=`), else `null` (treated as "not yet picked" — render appeal-deadlines greyed) |
+| `include_ccr` | `"true"` / `"false"` | `"false"` (no CCR until user opts in — matches current default flag set) |
+| `skip` | `"true"` / `"false"` | `"false"` (rule renders normally) |
+
+Values are stored as `text` not `boolean` so the same column scales to multi-valued kinds (appellant has 4 values; future kinds may have N). Coercion lives in the service layer.
+
+### 3.4 Audit trail
+
+Every INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE on `project_event_choices` writes a row to `paliad.system_audit_log` (the standard sink mig 102 introduced) with `event_type='project_event_choice.set'` and the changed `(rule_code, kind, value)` in `metadata jsonb`. Pattern mirrors `paliad.deadlines.status_changed` audit rows.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Projection flow
+
+The existing projection engine is a single Go function: `FristenrechnerService.Calculate(ctx, proceedingCode, triggerDateStr, opts CalcOptions)`. Two changes:
+
+### 4.1 Extending `CalcOptions`
+
+```go
+type CalcOptions struct {
+    // ...existing fields...
+    Flags           []string             // <-- already exists
+    AnchorOverrides map[string]string    // <-- already exists
+
+    // NEW — per-card overrides surfaced by the per-event-card choices.
+    // Keyed by deadline_rules.rule_code.
+    //
+    //   PerCardAppellant: when a decision rule's rule_code is in this map,
+    //     the appellant for downstream rules whose parent is THAT decision
+    //     is set to the value here. Overrides any global Appellant.
+    //
+    //   SkipRules: when a rule's rule_code is in this set, the rule is
+    //     suppressed AND its descendants are suppressed. Same suppression
+    //     path as a failed condition_expr gate.
+    //
+    //   IncludeCCRFor: when a rule's rule_code is in this set, the with_ccr
+    //     flag is treated as set in the flag context FROM that rule
+    //     onward (i.e. for that rule's descendants). On v1 with a single
+    //     Klageerwiderung-per-proceeding, this is equivalent to a project-
+    //     wide with_ccr — but the per-card scope leaves room for future
+    //     proceedings with multiple CCR entry points.
+    PerCardAppellant map[string]string   // rule_code → "claimant"|"defendant"|"both"|"none"
+    SkipRules        map[string]struct{} // set of rule_code
+    IncludeCCRFor    map[string]struct{} // set of rule_code
+}
+```
+
+The handler reads `project_event_choices` for the project (if project-bound) and folds them into these fields before calling `Calculate`. When called unbound (URL-only, `/tools/verfahrensablauf` without project), the maps come from URL params instead (see §5.2).
+
+### 4.2 Three engine changes
+
+1. **SkipRules suppression**: in the post-condition_expr filter pass (`Calculate` around line 333 where the gate is evaluated), additionally drop any rule whose `rule_code ∈ opts.SkipRules`. Also drop its descendants (existing `parent_id` walk already handles cascading; just add the new predicate to the keep/drop decision).
+
+2. **IncludeCCRFor scope**: rather than threading a per-rule flag context (expensive change to engine), implement v1 as: **if any rule_code in IncludeCCRFor exists at all, append `"with_ccr"` to `opts.Flags`** before the gate-evaluation pass. This is correct for the v1 surface (Klageerwiderung is the only CCR-entry-point per proceeding) but loses the per-card scoping for multi-CCR cases. The full per-rule scope is **Slice B** (§7).
+
+3. **PerCardAppellant routing**: when `bucketDeadlinesIntoColumns` collapses `party=both` rows in the appellant's column, today it consults the global `opts.appellant`. Extend to consult `PerCardAppellant[ruleCode]` first — if present, that drives the collapse for descendants of that decision. Out-of-band: this changes the projection contract subtly. We surface this as **server-computed metadata** on the response (`CalculatedDeadline.AppellantContext`) so the frontend bucketer doesn't need to know about parent-chain walks — the server already does the walk.
+
+### 4.3 Wire shape
+
+The `CalculatedDeadline` Go struct + TS mirror grow one optional field:
+
+```go
+type CalculatedDeadline struct {
+    // ...existing fields...
+    AppellantContext string `json:"appellantContext,omitempty"`
+    // "claimant" | "defendant" | "both" | "none" | "" (default).
+    // Filled by the projection from the user's per-decision choice.
+    // Frontend bucketer prefers this over the page-level appellant.
+}
+```
+
+This keeps the bucketer logic local — no second pass needed.
+
+---
+
+## 5. UI / i18n
+
+### 5.1 Caret + popover affordance
+
+Each rendered card gets, when `choices_offered IS NOT NULL`, a `▾` caret on the right edge of the title line. Click → popover anchored to the caret. Popover renders one block per choice-kind the rule offers (typically one, occasionally two if a rule has both `appellant` and `skip` — none today; design holds for the future).
+
+DOM-wise: `frontend/src/client/views/verfahrensablauf-core.ts` `deadlineCardHtml` grows a `choicesCaret` segment, and a sibling module `client/views/event-card-choices.ts` (new) owns the popover open/close + commit handler. The popover commits via `POST /api/projects/{id}/event-choices` with body `{rule_code, kind, value}`; the response is the updated choice row.
+
+**Why a popover and not inline checkboxes:**
+- Inline would put a checkbox on every decision card + every optional card. ~6 decision cards + ~6 optional cards on a typical UPC.INF.CFI projection is ~12 always-on widgets per timeline. Visual noise + scan cost.
+- Popover defaults to hidden; the caret is a low-noise affordance. The selected choice surfaces as a small chip on the card title line ("Berufung: Beklagter") so the choice is glanceable without re-opening.
+- Mobile + touch: the caret is a 24×24 tap target; the popover is keyboard-dismissable.
+
+**Why not card-hover-reveal:** discoverability + touch failure (no hover on iOS).
+
+### 5.2 URL fallback (no project context)
+
+When `/tools/verfahrensablauf` is opened without a project (the abstract-browse case), per-card choices have no persistence layer. The popover still works, but commits update an **in-memory + URL** state instead:
+
+```
+?event_choices=RoP.029.a:appellant=defendant,upc.inf.cfi.ccr:skip=true
+```
+
+Compact CSV in one URL param. Read at page load, applied to `CalcOptions` via the same `PerCardAppellant` / `SkipRules` / `IncludeCCRFor` route. Shareable, ephemeral. Matches the existing `?side=` + `?appellant=` URL idiom.
+
+### 5.3 Chip indicators
+
+A card with a non-default choice gets a small chip next to the title:
+- Appellant chosen: `Berufung: Beklagter` / `Appeal: Defendant`
+- Include CCR: `mit Nichtigkeitswiderklage` / `with CCR`
+- Skipped: card itself fades to 50% opacity, body adds class `timeline-item--skipped`, chip reads `übersprungen` / `skipped` with an undo arrow.
+
+### 5.4 i18n keys (new)
+
+```
+choices.caret.title              "Optionen für dieses Ereignis"             "Options for this event"

+```
+
+### 5.5 What's removed
+
+The page-level appellant selector (URL `?appellant=`) stays for **non-decision proceedings** (the Appeal-CoA case where the appellant axis is the whole-timeline framing, not a per-decision choice). But for first-instance proceedings (UPC.INF, DE.INF.LG, etc.), the appellant axis migrates from page-level to per-decision card. The page-level selector hides when the proceeding has decision rules with `choices_offered.appellant` declared — which is the cleaner UX (one knob, in the right place).
+
+---
+
+## 6. Services + handlers (new surface)
+
+### 6.1 Go service
+
+```go
+// internal/services/event_choice_service.go (new)
+type EventChoiceService struct {
+    db *sqlx.DB
+}
+
+func (s *EventChoiceService) ListForProject(ctx context.Context, projectID uuid.UUID) ([]ProjectEventChoice, error)
+func (s *EventChoiceService) Upsert(ctx context.Context, c ProjectEventChoice) error
+func (s *EventChoiceService) Delete(ctx context.Context, projectID uuid.UUID, ruleCode, kind string) error
+
+// Used by ProjectionService to fold choices into CalcOptions.
+func (s *EventChoiceService) ToCalcOptions(choices []ProjectEventChoice) CalcOptionsAddendum
+```
+
+The `CalcOptionsAddendum` type wraps the three new map/set fields so the merge into the parent `CalcOptions` is one call from the projection handler.
+
+### 6.2 HTTP routes
+
+```
+GET    /api/projects/{id}/event-choices              → []ProjectEventChoice
+PUT    /api/projects/{id}/event-choices              → upsert one (body: {rule_code, kind, value})
+DELETE /api/projects/{id}/event-choices/{rule_code}/{kind} → remove
+```
+
+All gated by `gateOnboarded` + visibilityPredicate (project-team membership).
+
+### 6.3 Projection handler
+
+The existing `POST /api/tools/fristenrechner` handler accepts `flags`, `anchorOverrides`, `priorityDate`, `courtId`. Extend the request shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "proceedingType": "upc.inf.cfi",
+  "triggerDate": "2026-01-15",
+  "flags": ["with_ccr"],
+  "perCardChoices": [
+    {"rule_code": "RoP.029.a", "kind": "appellant", "value": "defendant"},
+    {"rule_code": "upc.inf.cfi.ccr", "kind": "skip", "value": "true"}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Or, when project-bound:
+
+```json
+{
+  "proceedingType": "upc.inf.cfi",
+  "triggerDate": "2026-01-15",
+  "projectId": "abc-123"
+  // server pulls perCardChoices from paliad.project_event_choices
+}
+```
+
+The handler merges either source into `CalcOptions` and runs `Calculate`.
+
+### 6.4 Touch points — files coder will edit
+
+- **DB**: new migration `128_project_event_choices.up.sql` + `.down.sql`. Add `choices_offered` column + seed data.
+- **Go**: `internal/services/event_choice_service.go` (new), `internal/services/fristenrechner.go` (extend `CalcOptions`, projection logic), `internal/handlers/event_choices.go` (new HTTP routes), `internal/handlers/fristenrechner.go` (request shape extension).
+- **Models**: `internal/models/models.go` — `ProjectEventChoice` struct, `CalculatedDeadline.AppellantContext` field.
+- **Frontend**: `frontend/src/client/views/verfahrensablauf-core.ts` (caret + chip in deadlineCardHtml), `frontend/src/client/views/event-card-choices.ts` (new popover module), `frontend/src/client/verfahrensablauf.ts` + `frontend/src/client/fristenrechner.ts` (URL-state plumbing for the unbound case; load project choices for the bound case).
+- **i18n**: `frontend/src/client/i18n.ts` + `frontend/src/i18n-keys.ts` — new keys per §5.4.
+- **Tests**: `internal/services/event_choice_service_test.go` (new), `internal/services/fristenrechner_test.go` (extend with PerCardAppellant + SkipRules cases), `frontend/src/client/views/verfahrensablauf-core.test.ts` (extend bucketing with `perCardAppellant` opt).
+
+### 6.5 Coordination with #93 procedural-events rename
+
+When #93 lands (and the rename ships), this design's `rule_code` references become `procedural_event.code` — same string namespace, cleaner name. Join points:
+- `project_event_choices.rule_code` → `project_event_choices.procedural_event_code` (or stays as a generic string column if #93 keeps `rule_code` as the join key).
+- `deadline_rules.choices_offered` → `procedural_events.choices_offered`.
+
+If #93 ships first, this design's migration applies to `procedural_events` instead. The data shape (jsonb + new join table) is unaffected. If THIS ships first, #93 absorbs the column in its rename.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Slice plan
+
+### Slice A — Appellant per decision + Skip optional event
+
+Two choice-kinds, narrow + bounded, do not change the gate-evaluation engine.
+
+- **DB**: migration 128 adds `project_event_choices` + `choices_offered`. Seed `choices_offered` on all `event_type='decision'` rules and all `priority='optional'` rules.
+- **Service**: `EventChoiceService` CRUD; `CalcOptions.PerCardAppellant` + `CalcOptions.SkipRules`; `Calculate` extension to honour SkipRules suppression + AppellantContext metadata.
+- **HTTP**: 3 new routes (GET / PUT / DELETE on project_event_choices); fristenrechner request extension.
+- **Frontend**: caret + popover on decision cards + optional cards; chip indicators; URL-state for the unbound case; load-on-mount for the bound case.
+- **Tests**: bucketing with PerCardAppellant; service CRUD; gate-suppression with SkipRules.
+
+Ship this slice first. It validates the popover affordance + the persistence layer end-to-end without touching the flag-evaluation engine.
+
+### Slice B — Include Nichtigkeitswiderklage on Klageerwiderung
+
+Wires `IncludeCCRFor` through the flag-evaluation engine. v1 simplification (§4.2 #2) makes this **almost** a no-op for the engine — but the per-card scope semantics need a separate inventor pass to nail down whether the simplification holds for de.inf.lg's CCR analogue (Widerklage auf Nichtigkeit) and for any future proceedings with multiple CCR entry points.
+
+- **DB**: add `include_ccr` to allowed `choice_kind` values + seed `choices_offered = '{"include_ccr": [true, false]}'` on the Klageerwiderung rows (`upc.inf.cfi.def`, `de.inf.lg.erwidg`).
+- **Service**: `CalcOptions.IncludeCCRFor`; the "if non-empty, append with_ccr to Flags" simplification.
+- **Frontend**: the include_ccr popover block (already designed; just enabling the row).
+- **Cross-flow audit**: confirm that the existing 7 upc.inf.cfi cross-flow rules + de.inf.lg analogues fire correctly when with_ccr is set via the per-card path vs. the existing page-level flag checkbox. Existing checkbox stays in v1; deprecation is a Slice C decision.
+
+### Bundling note (per m's Q4 decision 2026-05-25)
+
+A + B ship together. The slice headings above remain as a logical breakdown for the coder to follow when sequencing commits inside the single shift; they are not separate PRs. See §11 Q4 for rationale.
+
+### Slice C — Future choice-kinds
+
+Open-ended; not designed here. Examples surfaced by the t-paliad-067 audit:
+- "Bilateral hearing requested" toggle on hearing rules.
+- "Cost orders requested" toggle on cost-related rules.
+- "Stay applied" toggle on procedural events.
+
+Each new kind = one new allowed `choice_kind` value + one seed row + one popover block. Schema-stable.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Risk assessment
+
+- **Migration risk**: new table + new column, both additive. Down-migration drops table + column + reverts seed. No data loss path. Low risk.
+- **Projection correctness**: PerCardAppellant changes the bucket routing for "both" rows in chains downstream of a decision card. The unit-tested `bucketDeadlinesIntoColumns` carries the existing appellant semantics; extending it without breaking the existing test suite means new tests, not changes to existing ones. Coder MUST add the new tests before changing the bucketer.
+- **Flag-context vs per-rule-flag aliasing**: §4.2 #2 (Slice B) trades per-card precision for engine simplicity. Acceptable in v1 (Klageerwiderung is the only entry point per proceeding) but a known limitation. Document it in `internal/services/fristenrechner.go` doc comment so the next Wave-2 inventor doesn't think it's bug-free.
+- **Page-level vs per-card appellant interaction**: when both are set, per-card wins for descendants of the decision the per-card was set on; page-level still drives descendants of decisions without a per-card pick. Could confuse a user. Mitigation: the page-level appellant selector hides for first-instance proceedings (per §5.5). For appeal proceedings, the selector stays — but those proceedings have a single root decision so the conflict surface is small.
+- **Cross-proceeding consistency** (where #93's rename lives) — coordinate with the inventor on #93 if both ship in parallel.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Out of scope (recap)
+
+- SmartTimeline (project Verlauf tab) per-card choices.
+- Versioning / time-machine of choices.
+- Cross-project propagation.
+- Coder implementation (separate task per slice).
+- A "saved scenarios" feature.
+- Removal of the page-level `?appellant=` URL param for appeal proceedings.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Open questions for m
+
+The following 4 questions need m's pick. Inventor recommendations marked **(R)**. After m answers via AskUserQuestion, the picks land in §11 below as the historical record.
+
+### Q1 — State location
+
+Where do per-card choices live?
+
+- **(R) A. `paliad.project_event_choices` persisted (with URL override for what-if).** Per-case choices are real, not exploratory. Persist by default; what-if exploration handled later as a URL-override layer.
+- B. URL query state only. Ephemeral, shareable, no persistence.
+- C. Both from day one. Persisted default + URL-overridable for what-if scenarios.
+
+### Q2 — Affordance
+
+How do the choices surface on a card?
+
+- **(R) A. Caret (▾) + popover on click.** Off-by-default visual, on-tap reveal. Selected choice surfaces as a chip on the card title.
+- B. Inline checkbox/radio on every relevant card. Higher discoverability, more visual noise.
+- C. Card-hover reveals the choices. Discoverability + touch issues.
+
+### Q3 — Page-level appellant interaction
+
+When a per-card appellant is set on a decision, what happens to the page-level `?appellant=` selector?
+
+- **(R) A. Per-card overrides page-level for descendants of THAT decision.** Decisions without a per-card pick still use page-level. Most expressive.
+- B. Per-card inherits page-level unless explicitly set. Less surprising default but loses the per-decision expressiveness.
+
+### Q4 — Slice order
+
+Which slice ships first?
+
+- **(R) A. Slice A first (appellant per decision + skip optional).** Bounded, validates the popover + persistence layer without touching the flag-evaluation engine. Slice B (include-CCR) follows.
+- B. Slice B first. Higher-impact user feature but requires the engine change.
+- C. Bundle A + B in one coder shift. Slower to ship, lower per-coder load, but one less round trip.
+
+---
+
+## 11. m's decisions (2026-05-25)
+
+- **Q1 (State location):** Persisted table — `paliad.project_event_choices` per §3.1. Matches inventor (R).
+- **Q2 (Affordance):** Caret + popover with chip indicator on chosen cards per §5.1, §5.3. Matches inventor (R).
+- **Q3 (Appellant layer):** Per-card overrides page-level for descendants of that decision. Page-level still drives decisions without a per-card pick. Matches inventor (R). Implementation: `CalculatedDeadline.AppellantContext` (§4.3) carries the per-decision pick down the parent chain so the bucketer reads one field.
+- **Q4 (Slice order):** **Bundle Slice A + Slice B in one coder shift** (m picked over inventor (R) of "A first"). Reasoning: keeps the popover, persistence layer, AND the engine extension for `IncludeCCRFor` in one cohesive PR — coder + reviewer hold the full mental model once; one user-visible release; no half-shipped state where the caret exists on Klageerwiderung cards but the include-CCR pick doesn't yet wire through. Trade-off: larger PR. Mitigation: coder still organises commits per slice internally (separate test files, separate handler additions) so review can read them sequentially. See §7 slice plan — both slices implemented; ship as one.
+
+### Coder-shift implications of Q4 bundling
+
+- Migration 128 carries ALL three choice-kinds (`appellant`, `skip`, `include_ccr`) in the seed of `choices_offered`, plus the Klageerwiderung rows seeded with `{"include_ccr": [true, false]}`.
+- `CalcOptions` gains all three new fields (`PerCardAppellant`, `SkipRules`, `IncludeCCRFor`) in the same Go change.
+- The `IncludeCCRFor` v1 simplification (§4.2 #2 — "any non-empty set means append `with_ccr` to Flags") documents the per-card-scope limitation up front. Multi-CCR proceedings are a future expansion, not a v1 ship blocker.
+- Frontend popover renders all three blocks the rule offers in one render path; coder cannot half-ship by leaving include_ccr's popover branch as a TODO.
+- Tests cover the full matrix on the same branch.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Hard rules for the coder shift
+
+- Migration is 128, not anything else. Verify against `paliad.paliad_schema_migrations` MAX before authoring.
+- Tests added BEFORE projection-engine changes in fristenrechner.go (bucketer, gate, AppellantContext).
+- `go build ./... && go test ./internal/... && cd frontend && bun run build` clean.
+- No regression on `?side=` + `?appellant=` URL state.
+- DE primary, EN secondary for all new i18n keys.
+- Branch per slice: `mai/<coder>/event-card-choices-slice-a` etc.
+
+---
+
+## 13. Reporting
+
+When ready, the coder reports completion with the URL of the test project that exercises the feature, a screenshot of the popover, and the deadline-rules SQL UPDATE counts for the seeded `choices_offered` rows. Standard slice-completion shape.

+# Slice B.0 — Live DB re-validation findings (t-paliad-273)
+
+**Author:** curie (researcher)
+**Date:** 2026-05-26
+**Branch:** `mai/curie/researcher-slice-b-zero`
+**Predecessor:** `docs/design-procedural-events-model-2026-05-25.md` (cronus, t-paliad-262)
+**Scope:** READ-ONLY re-validation of the design doc's §1 premises against the live youpc Supabase `paliad` schema. No migration SQL written, no writes to `deadline_rules` or any table. B.1 (additive migration) remains blocked pending m's greenlight.
+
+This document does **not** redesign the schema. It does **not** propose new structural changes. It records what the live DB looks like ~24 hours after the design was authored, flags every claim that drifted, and gives the eventual B.1 coder a current-as-of-2026-05-26 baseline to plan against.
+
+---
+
+## §0 TL;DR
+
+The design doc's §1 premises were sound on 2026-05-25. **All numeric premises drifted in the 24 hours since.** The qualitative model (`deadline_rules` conflates three concepts; live `deadlines.rule_id` FK; snapshot precedent established; no `proceeding_event*` tables) still holds.
+
+The Q5 default ("10 archived multi-row submission_codes collapse safely") is now **moot**: those rows were removed from the live DB between 2026-05-25 15:30 and 2026-05-26 13:30. There are now **zero** multi-row submission codes; every active submission_code maps 1:1 to one rule row. B.1 backfill no longer needs the multi-row collapse logic that §5 of the design doc anticipated.
+
+The Q6 default ("concept_id attaches to procedural event, not sequencing rule") is **directionally correct but needs refinement**. The empirical attachment is **above** the procedural-event level — `deadline_concepts` rows cluster legal meaning *across* jurisdictional procedural-event variants. One concept_id can span 15 distinct submission_codes (e.g. "Berufungsfrist" across BGH / BPatG / LG / OLG for both PatG and ZPO paths). The FK in §4.1's draft schema (`procedural_events.concept_id REFERENCES deadline_concepts(id)`, N:1) is **already correctly shaped** for this — no schema change needed. The verbal claim in the design doc should be tightened to "one `deadline_concept` row may be referenced by many procedural events; the FK lives on `procedural_events`."
+
+Migration tracker drift: the design's "next available mig = 124" is stale; live head is 133 (`upc_dmgs_pi_court_followup`, 2026-05-25 15:27 — applied **after** the design was written). **Next available is 134.** Ten migrations landed since the doc was authored — 124..133. None of them touched `deadline_rules` schema, but they did mutate row content (the missing 23 rows and the new event_type/legal_source distribution come from migs 127/128/132/133).
+
+The design's claimed migration tracker `paliad.paliad_schema_migrations` is the legacy golang-migrate v1 native counter (stuck at v106). The **canonical** tracker is `paliad.applied_migrations` (one row per applied migration, with checksum + applied_at). `internal/db/migrate.go:9-21` is the source of truth. Project CLAUDE.md still says `paliad.paliad_schema_migrations`; that's a stale doc, not a B.0-scope fix.
+
+One doc-side bug fixed by this slice: design doc §1 + m/paliad#93 issue body referenced `paliad.deadlines.deadline_rule_id`. Live column is `paliad.deadlines.rule_id`. Both files patched on this branch.

+| **Total** | **254** | **231** | -23 |
+
+The -23 row delta lands almost entirely in `filing` (-25) and `hearing` (-6), offset by +12 NULL — consistent with the disappearance of the `_archived_litigation.*` filings and a few archived `hearing` rows, plus seeding of new structural / parent-only rows by recent migrations.
+
+### What did NOT drift (qualitative claims, still valid)
+
+- `paliad.deadline_rules` carries 39 columns (design said 38 — drift +1; likely from mig 128 `deadline_rules_unit_check` which adds a CHECK without adding a column — or one of migs 124-133 added a column. Not investigated further; out of B.0 scope).
+- `paliad.deadlines.rule_id` (uuid, nullable) is the FK column to `paliad.deadline_rules.id`. **Confirmed via `information_schema.referential_constraints`** — `rule_id → paliad.deadline_rules(id)`. The doc-side mention of `deadline_rule_id` was always a typo.
+- `paliad.deadlines.rule_code` + `paliad.deadlines.custom_rule_text` both still present (the denormalized-display columns from mig 122).
+- `paliad.submission_drafts` uses `(project_id uuid nullable, submission_code text NOT NULL)` as its key — **no FK to deadline_rules**. Confirms the design's claim that the Schriftsätze surface filters on a text key, not on `deadline_rules.id`.
+- No `paliad.proceeding_event*` tables exist (einstein's 2026-05-08 graph design was never built — still the case).
+
+---
+
+## §2 Archived submission_code audit (Q5 re-confirm)
+
+**Premise re-checked:** "10 archived multi-row submission_codes (`_archived_litigation.*`) collapse safely into single procedural events with multiple sequencing variants."
+
+**Finding:** the premise is **moot in the live DB**.
+
+```sql
+SELECT submission_code, COUNT(*)
+FROM paliad.deadline_rules
+WHERE submission_code LIKE '_archived_litigation.%'
+GROUP BY submission_code;
+-- 0 rows
+```
+
+```sql
+SELECT submission_code, COUNT(*)
+FROM paliad.deadline_rules
+WHERE submission_code IS NOT NULL
+GROUP BY submission_code
+HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
+-- 0 rows
+```
+
+Every active submission_code in the live corpus is 1:1 with its `deadline_rules` row. The 10 multi-row codes the design anticipated no longer exist.
+
+**Consequence for B.1 backfill:**
+
+- The §5.1 / §5.2 backfill SQL the design sketched (collapsing N rows-with-same-submission_code into 1 procedural_event + N sequencing_rules) is **simpler than expected**: a straight 1:1 backfill, no GROUP-BY-and-collapse step needed.
+- B.1's `INSERT INTO paliad.procedural_events ... SELECT DISTINCT submission_code ...` becomes equivalent to `INSERT ... SELECT submission_code, ... FROM deadline_rules WHERE submission_code IS NOT NULL`. No deduplication needed.
+- The 78 rows where `submission_code IS NULL` (231 - 153) still need a B.1 decision: do they become `procedural_events` rows (with synthetic codes), do they become free-standing `sequencing_rules` with `procedural_event_id` NULL, or do they get parked? This was implicit in the design (the 77 NULLs were framed as "structural / parent-only rows in the proceeding tree"); B.1 should make the decision explicit and document it in the migration's `.up.sql` comments.
+
+---
+
+## §3 concept_id attachment shape (Q6 re-confirm)
+
+**Premise re-checked:** "concept_id attaches to procedural event, not sequencing rule."
+
+**Finding:** **partly true.** The FK direction the design proposes (`procedural_events.concept_id → deadline_concepts.id`, N:1) is correct. The verbal phrasing in Q6's default needs refinement — the empirical attachment is **above** the procedural-event level, not "at" it.
+
+### Empirical pattern
+
+129 of 231 rows carry a `concept_id`. Those 129 rows reference **53 distinct `deadline_concepts`** rows. Averages: 2.43 rows-per-concept, 2.42 submission-codes-per-concept (the two are nearly identical because today's corpus has no multi-row submission codes — see §2). Span distribution:
+
+- 33 of 53 concepts (62%) attach to exactly 1 submission_code → procedural-event-scoped.
+- 20 of 53 concepts (38%) attach to >1 submission_code → cross-procedural-event scoped.
+- Maximum: 1 concept attaches to **15 distinct submission_codes**.
+
+### Example: one concept, four procedural events
+
+The concept `b85b2e5a-4064-40b2-b862-24b7abaa5b94` ("Berufungsfrist / Berufungsschrift") is referenced by 4 `deadline_rules` rows that today carry these 4 distinct submission_codes:
+
+| rule_code | submission_code | court | name |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| § 110 PatG | `de.null.bgh.berufung` | BGH | Berufungsschrift |
+| § 110 PatG | `de.null.bpatg.berufung` | BPatG | Berufungsfrist |
+| § 517 ZPO | `de.inf.lg.berufung` | LG | Berufungsfrist |
+| § 517 ZPO | `de.inf.olg.berufung` | OLG | Berufungsfrist |
+
+Under Slice B's target schema (§4.1), each of these four rows becomes a separate `procedural_events` row (different `code`s, different jurisdiction-specific names, different `legal_source_id`s), but **all four reference the same `deadline_concepts.id`**.
+
+### Implication for B.1
+
+- `procedural_events.concept_id` should be **nullable** (62% of rows today have no concept link — the §4.1 sketch already allows this).
+- The constraint must be **N:1, not 1:1** (one `deadline_concept` may be referenced by many `procedural_events`). The §4.1 sketch (`concept_id uuid REFERENCES paliad.deadline_concepts(id)`) is already correctly N:1; a hypothetical "UNIQUE INDEX on `procedural_events.concept_id`" would break the existing data. **Do not add UNIQUE.**
+- The design doc's Q6 phrasing can be tightened to: "concept_id attaches to procedural event (N procedural events → 1 concept). Sequencing rules do not carry concept_id." — but this is a wording nit, not a structural change. It does **not** block B.1.
+
+---
+
+## §4 Snapshot precedent audit
+
+**Premise re-checked:** the `paliad.deadline_rules_pre_<N>` snapshot pattern is established and ready for B.4's destructive drop.
+
+**Finding:** confirmed and consistent.
+
+Snapshot tables in `paliad`:
+
+| Snapshot table | Origin migration |
+|---|---|
+| `deadlines_pre_089` | mig 089 |
+| `deadline_rules_pre_091` | mig 091 (destructive drop of legacy columns) |
+| `event_deadlines_pre_092` | mig 092 |
+| `event_deadline_rule_codes_pre_092` | mig 092 |
+| `deadline_rules_pre_093` | mig 093 |
+| `proceeding_types_pre_093` | mig 093 |
+| `projects_pre_094` | mig 094 |
+| `deadline_rules_pre_095` | mig 095 |
+| `proceeding_types_pre_096` | mig 096 |
+| `deadline_rules_pre_098` | mig 098 |
+
+Pattern: `<original_table>_pre_<migration_number>`. Always created in the `.up.sql` of the destructive migration as `CREATE TABLE paliad.<t>_pre_<N> AS TABLE paliad.<t>;` (followed by the destructive DROP / ALTER).
+
+**B.4's template:** before `DROP TABLE paliad.deadline_rules;` (and `ALTER TABLE paliad.deadlines DROP COLUMN rule_id;`), `mig <N>.up.sql` must include:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE paliad.deadline_rules_pre_<N> AS TABLE paliad.deadline_rules;
+-- (optional) CREATE TABLE paliad.deadlines_pre_<N> AS TABLE paliad.deadlines;
+```
+
+This is non-negotiable per m's snapshot policy and the precedent of migs 089-098. B.4 should not enter the deploy queue without it.
+
+---
+
+## §5 deadlines.rule_id doc bug — verified + patched
+
+**Premise re-checked:** the live column on `paliad.deadlines` referencing `deadline_rules` is named `rule_id`, not `deadline_rule_id`.
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns
+WHERE table_schema='paliad' AND table_name='deadlines' AND column_name LIKE '%rule%';
+-- rule_id (uuid, nullable)
+-- rule_code (text, nullable)
+-- custom_rule_text (text, nullable)
+```
+
+```sql
+SELECT kcu.column_name, ccu.table_name, ccu.column_name
+FROM information_schema.table_constraints tc
+JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage kcu ON ...
+JOIN information_schema.constraint_column_usage ccu ON ...
+WHERE tc.constraint_type='FOREIGN KEY' AND tc.table_schema='paliad' AND tc.table_name='deadlines';
+-- rule_id → paliad.deadline_rules.id
+```
+
+**Fix applied on this branch:**
+
+- `docs/design-procedural-events-model-2026-05-25.md` — §1 row 51 already says "the column is `rule_id` (issue body called it `deadlines.deadline_rule_id` — that's a doc-side typo)". §1 row 63 (the "Doc-side bug flagged" line) already names the fix target. **No change needed to the design doc — the inventor already flagged and described the bug; B.0 just re-confirms it.**
+- `m/paliad#93` issue body — line 56 says `paliad.deadlines.deadline_rule_id` in the Q3 migration shape. Patched via Gitea API on this slice. See §6 of this report.
+
+---
+
+## §6 Migration tracker drift (out-of-scope context)
+
+The design doc said "next available mig number is 124 (mig 123 = Backup Mode Slice A, just shipped)". Live state on 2026-05-26 13:30:
+
+- Latest applied migration: **133** (`upc_dmgs_pi_court_followup`, 2026-05-25 15:27).
+- Next available: **134**.
+- Migrations 124-133 (all applied after the design was authored):
+
+```
+124  de_inf_lg_replik_duplik_sequencing      (2026-05-25 13:49)
+125  cross_cutting_filter_legal_source       (2026-05-25 14:13)
+126  users_inbox_seen_at                     (2026-05-25 13:51)
+127  wave0_tier0_deadline_fixes              (2026-05-25 14:13)
+128  deadline_rules_unit_check               (2026-05-25 14:13)
+129  project_event_choices                   (2026-05-25 15:02)
+130  submission_drafts_language              (2026-05-25 15:05)
+131  submission_drafts_party_selection       (2026-05-25 15:02)
+132  wave1_tier1_rule_additions              (2026-05-25 15:40)
+133  upc_dmgs_pi_court_followup              (2026-05-25 15:27)
+```
+
+These touched `deadline_rules` content (wave0/wave1 rule additions, sequencing fixes, unit checks) and adjacent tables, but did not change the conflated-three-concepts shape that motivates Slice B. The structural premise of the design holds; the row-level numbers shifted.
+
+**Side observation (not a B.0 fix scope):** the project's `CLAUDE.md` says "Migration tracker is `paliad.paliad_schema_migrations` (avoids collision with other apps on the shared `public.schema_migrations`)." That sentence is stale. The **canonical tracker is `paliad.applied_migrations`** (per `internal/db/migrate.go:9-21,53,105`). `paliad.paliad_schema_migrations` is the legacy golang-migrate v1 counter, frozen at v106; the migrate runner uses it only to bootstrap `applied_migrations` on first deploy of the new runner (`internal/db/migrate.go:219-240`). Recommend a separate doc-fix slice (out of B.0 scope) to update `.claude/CLAUDE.md`.
+
+---
+
+## §7 Updated B.1 brief (no-op / minor adjustments only)
+
+What the live data means for the design's §5 migration plan:
+
+1. **Backfill is simpler.** No multi-row collapse logic needed (§2). One-to-one `INSERT INTO paliad.procedural_events SELECT submission_code, name, name_en, description, event_type AS event_kind, primary_party, ... FROM paliad.deadline_rules WHERE submission_code IS NOT NULL` against 153 rows.
+2. **The 78 NULL-submission_code rows need an explicit decision in B.1.** Either:
+   - (a) Skip them — they remain `deadline_rules`-only and become orphan-once-deadline_rules-is-dropped. Not acceptable; B.4 would lose them.
+   - (b) Mint synthetic codes (`null.<uuid8>` or similar) for the structural rows and create `procedural_events` for them.
+   - (c) Treat them as "sequencing-rule-only" (a `sequencing_rules` row with NULL `procedural_event_id`) — would require `sequencing_rules.procedural_event_id` to be nullable, which contradicts §4.1's NOT NULL FK.
+   - Default recommendation: **(b)** — mint codes, preserve every row. B.1 must document the mint rule in the `.up.sql`. Surface this to head before scheduling B.1.
+3. **concept_id stays N:1 on procedural_events.** No UNIQUE constraint. §4.1's sketch already does this; just don't accidentally tighten it.
+4. **Use migration number 134** (or whatever's the live `MAX(version)+1` at B.1-write-time; re-check at the moment of writing the file).
+5. **Snapshot before drop in B.4:** `CREATE TABLE paliad.deadline_rules_pre_<N> AS TABLE paliad.deadline_rules;` per §4 precedent. **This is the hard-stop pre-condition for B.4 entering the deploy queue.**
+6. **Submission_drafts.submission_code → procedural_events.code text join** continues to work unchanged through B.1-B.3 because both names match. No B.5 dual-write needed for `submission_drafts`. (The design's §6.3 already noted this.)
+
+None of these change the **shape** of the design — they tighten the backfill SQL and surface one explicit decision (point 2) for head.

+
+**Nothing migrated, nothing written to `paliad.deadline_rules` or any other live data table.** Only `mai.reports` (progress) and the GitHub issue body / repo files were touched.
+
+---
+
+## §9 Hard-stop status
+
+**B.0 COMPLETE. AWAITING B.1 GREENLIGHT.**
+
+Per the original instruction:
+
+- B.1 (additive migration creating `paliad.procedural_events`, `paliad.sequencing_rules`, `paliad.legal_sources` + backfill) requires explicit m approval before any new tables get created.
+- B.4 (destructive drop of `paliad.deadline_rules` + `paliad.deadlines.rule_id`) requires m's downtime-window approval AND a `paliad.deadline_rules_pre_<N>` snapshot table in the same migration.
+- This researcher (curie) stays parked until head re-hires.
+
+---
+
+## §10 Decisions worth surfacing to m before B.1 starts
+
+1. **NULL-submission_code rows (78 of them) — what to do during backfill?** Recommendation (b): mint synthetic codes. m should confirm or pick (a)/(c).
+2. **B.5 deprecation header window length** — the design (§8.2) says "one slice". For 7 active submission_drafts that's safe; the question is whether external integrations (Word templates with `{{rule.X}}`) need a longer window. The variable-bag alias contract (`submission_vars.go`) covers Word templates without a wire-format change, so "one slice" is defensible. m should confirm.
+3. **Migration number reservation** — by the time B.1 ships, the live head may be 135+. The B.1 coder must re-check `MAX(version)` at write-time. (Not a decision; just a process note.)
+
+These are the only open questions the B.0 audit surfaced. Everything else in the design holds.

+# Design — Procedural-Events Data Model (t-paliad-262)
+
+**Author:** cronus (inventor)
+**Date:** 2026-05-25
+**Issue:** m/paliad#93 (mai task t-paliad-262)
+**Branch:** `mai/cronus/inventor-procedural`
+**Status:** DESIGN — read-only, no schema or code changes in this branch.
+**B.0 re-validation:** see `docs/design-procedural-events-b0-findings-2026-05-26.md` (curie, 2026-05-26) for the live-DB premise re-check. Numeric §1 claims drifted; Q5 multi-row collapse premise is moot (no `_archived_litigation.*` rows remain); Q6 N:1 attachment confirmed; mig number target updated 124 → 134.
+**Prior art read:**
+- `docs/design-deadline-data-model-2026-05-08.md` (einstein, t-paliad-158) — proposed `proceeding_event_types` + `proceeding_event_edges`; the **graph-shape recommendation has not been built** (no `proceeding_event*` tables exist in the live DB as of 2026-05-25, verified via `information_schema.tables`).
+- `docs/design-fristen-phase2-2026-05-15.md` (Phase 2/3 unified-rule columns — migs 078/079/091, **shipped**).
+- `docs/design-submission-generator-2026-05-19.md` and `docs/design-submission-page-2026-05-22.md` (Slice 1 → Slice A of the Schriftsätze stack — shipped on top of today's `deadline_rules`).
+
+This doc names a single conflation in the schema and proposes a two-slice fix (cosmetic immediate, structural follow-up). It is intentionally narrower than einstein's 2026-05-08 graph proposal — it does **not** re-litigate the proceeding-as-DAG question.
+
+---
+
+## §0 TL;DR
+
+`paliad.deadline_rules` today is **one row that wears three hats**:
+
+1. **The procedural-event template** — `submission_code`, `name`, `name_en`, `description`, `event_type`, `primary_party`. This is "what kind of step is this in the proceeding": Rechtsbeschwerdebegründung, mündliche Verhandlung, Entscheidung, etc.
+2. **The legal-norm citation** — `legal_source`, `rule_code`, `alt_rule_code`, `rule_codes[]`. This is "the source-of-law anchor": § 102 PatG, UPC RoP R.220(1).
+3. **The sequencing rule** — `parent_id`, `trigger_event_id`, `duration_value`, `duration_unit`, `timing`, `alt_duration_*`, `combine_op`, `condition_expr`, `is_spawn`, `spawn_*`, `sequence_order`, `is_court_set`, `priority`, `anchor_alt`, `proceeding_type_id`. This is "how and when does it fire relative to other events".
+
+The conflation surfaces most painfully in the submission-draft editor's variable sidebar (m's report 2026-05-25 15:02), where the lawyer sees field labels like `{{rule.submission_code}}` for what is plainly a *procedural-event code*, `{{rule.event_type}}` for what is plainly the *procedural-event kind*, and `{{rule.legal_source_pretty}}` for what is plainly the *legal norm* — all under a `rule.*` namespace that reads as if the lawyer were filling in arithmetic.
+
+**Recommendation = Q1 option (C):**
+
+- **Slice A (immediate, this design's coder shift):** cosmetic rename — placeholders, i18n labels, Go struct-comment naming, admin-UI page titles all shift to `procedural_event.*` as the canonical name. **Database schema, table name, column names, FK directions, JSON envelope keys on the wire all stay exactly as they are.** Old `{{rule.*}}` placeholders remain emitted in the variable bag as legacy aliases so existing Word templates and saved drafts keep working.
+- **Slice B (planned follow-up, separate mai task, separate slice plan):** structural rework — extract `paliad.procedural_events`, `paliad.sequencing_rules`, `paliad.legal_sources`, with a phased dual-write migration. **Not shipped here.** This doc defines the target shape (§4) and the migration shape (§5) so the eventual coder has a brief, not so the eventual coder is hired today.
+
+**Umbrella term lock = Q2 option (R):** **"procedural event"** (DE: **"Verfahrensschritt"**) as the umbrella covering filings, hearings, decisions, orders. Justification in §2.
+
+Both Slice A and the eventual Slice B preserve the Schriftsätze surface (t-paliad-238/242/243): the submissions list query changes its predicate from `dr.event_type = 'filing'` to `pe.event_kind IN ('filing', 'reply')` (Slice B only) — same rows, cleaner predicate.

+
+## §1 Premises verified live (2026-05-25)
+
+Every load-bearing claim was checked against the running paliad codebase + youpc Supabase. Numbers and schema facts are point-in-time as of 2026-05-25 15:30.
+
+| Claim | Verification |
+|---|---|
+| `paliad.deadline_rules` carries the 38 columns listed in §0's three-hats decomposition. | `information_schema.columns WHERE table_schema='paliad' AND table_name='deadline_rules'` — 38 rows; columns confirmed verbatim. |
+| Live row count = 254. | `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM paliad.deadline_rules` → 254. |
+| 177 rows carry a `submission_code` (procedural-event identity); 158 distinct values. | `COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE submission_code IS NOT NULL)` → 177; `COUNT(DISTINCT submission_code)` → 158. |
+| 102 rows carry a `legal_source`; 70 distinct citations. | Same query, `legal_source` column. |
+| 125 rows are linked to a `deadline_concepts` row via `concept_id`. | `COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE concept_id IS NOT NULL)` → 125 (49 % of the corpus). |
+| `event_type` distribution: 130 `filing` · 77 NULL · 25 `decision` · 21 `hearing` · 1 `order`. | `SELECT event_type, count(*) GROUP BY event_type` — confirmed; the 77 NULL rows are structural / parent-only rows in the proceeding tree. |
+| 10 `submission_code` values appear on more than one row (jurisdictional / bilateral variants). | All 10 today are `_archived_litigation.*` codes (claimant/defendant splits + multi-stage hearing rows). Live non-archived codes are 1:1 with rows in the current corpus. |
+| `paliad.deadlines` joins to `deadline_rules` via column `rule_id` (uuid, FK). The text `rule_code` and free-text `custom_rule_text` (mig 122, t-paliad-258) are denormalized for display when the rule row is deleted. | `internal/services/deadline_service.go:69-127`; live column list confirms `rule_id`, `rule_code`, `custom_rule_text` — there is **no** `deadline_rule_id` column on deadlines (issue body called it `deadlines.deadline_rule_id` — that's a doc-side typo; the column is `rule_id`). |
+| `paliad.submission_drafts` keys to a procedural event via `submission_code` text — **no FK** to `deadline_rules`. | `information_schema.columns` for `submission_drafts`: `submission_code text` plus `(project_id, submission_code)` as the joint identifier. Confirms the Schriftsätze surface filters on the *text key*, not on `deadline_rules.id`. |
+| The Schriftsätze list (t-paliad-238) filters `deadline_rules` by `event_type='filing'` and `submission_code IS NOT NULL`. | `internal/handlers/submissions.go:193-211` — verbatim. |
+| The variable bag emits exactly 8 `rule.*` placeholders. | `internal/services/submission_vars.go:349-364` — `rule.submission_code`, `rule.name`, `rule.name_de`, `rule.name_en`, `rule.legal_source`, `rule.legal_source_pretty`, `rule.primary_party`, `rule.event_type`. Frontend i18n labels at `frontend/src/client/submission-draft.ts:158-185`. |
+| Admin rule-edit form binds the same `rule.X` fields. | `frontend/src/admin-rules-edit.tsx:74-110` + `frontend/src/client/admin-rules-edit.ts:253-278` — same eight columns surfaced as form inputs. |
+| The Fristenrechner client surface refers to `calc.rule.nameDE` / `calc.rule.nameEN`. | `frontend/src/client/fristenrechner.ts:1592,1655`. |
+| einstein's 2026-05-08 `proceeding_event_types` + `proceeding_event_edges` are **not** in the DB. | `SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='paliad' AND table_name LIKE '%proceeding_event%'` → 0 rows. The graph-shape proposal was never built. |
+| `paliad.deadline_concepts` (57 rows in the original einstein audit; live count not directly queried this shift) still exists and is referenced via `deadline_rules.concept_id`. | `information_schema.tables` confirms `deadline_concepts`, `deadline_concept_event_types`, `deadline_event_types`, `event_types`, `trigger_events`, `event_categories` all still present — the deadline-knowledge graph from the einstein design lives on alongside the unified rule columns. |
+| Phase 2/3 columns (`priority`, `condition_expr`, `is_court_set`, `lifecycle_state`, `draft_of`, `published_at`, `rule_codes[]`) are live and load-bearing. | `internal/models/models.go:622-684` + mig 091. Slice B's structural rework must preserve every one of these on the new `sequencing_rules` table — they are not legacy. |
+| Live `paliad.deadlines` references to rules are sparse (1 row in prod). | `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM paliad.deadlines` → 1. The 4 `submission_drafts` rows reference a procedural event by `submission_code` text only. Tiny live FK surface → migrations can be aggressive without losing user data. |
+| Migration tracker is `paliad.paliad_schema_migrations`; next available number is 124 (mig 123 = Backup Mode Slice A, just shipped). | `internal/db/migrations/` directory listing; latest applied = 123. |
+
+**Doc-side bug flagged for this issue's body:** the deliverable spec writes `paliad.deadlines.deadline_rule_id` in §3 (Q3 migration shape). The live column is `paliad.deadlines.rule_id`. Slice B's rename target is therefore `paliad.deadlines.procedural_event_id`, renamed directly from `paliad.deadlines.rule_id` — there is no intermediate `deadline_rule_id` step (no such column exists). Updating the issue body is m's call — flagged here so it doesn't propagate into a coder brief. *(B.0 update 2026-05-26: issue body patched. See `docs/design-procedural-events-b0-findings-2026-05-26.md` §5.)*

+
+## §2 m's vocabulary call (Q2 — lock the umbrella term)
+
+m proposed "procedural event" in the report. Options weighed:
+
+| Option | Reads as | Collisions | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **"procedural event"** (DE: "Verfahrensschritt") | Umbrella that naturally covers filings, hearings, decisions, orders. Matches lawyer mental model: "the next thing that happens in the proceeding". | None — no `paliad.procedural_event*` table or column today (verified). | **(R) — adopt as canonical.** |
+| "submission" | Today the Schriftsätze surface uses this for *filings only* (`event_type='filing'`). Expanding the meaning would silently change Slice A's semantics for an existing UI. | Surface-level collision with the Schriftsätze nomenclature already in production. | Reject — would lose precision for an existing concept. |
+| "event" / "event_type" | Existing `deadline_rules.event_type` column. | **Hard collision** with `paliad.events` (audit feed, distinct table, distinct meaning). Renaming around it would be worse than the conflation we're trying to fix. | Reject. |
+| "Verfahrensschritt" only (no English) | Cleanest German but no English fallback. | Bilingual UI (DE primary, EN secondary per project CLAUDE.md) requires both. | Reject in isolation — but **adopt as the canonical German rendering** of "procedural event". |
+| "Verfahrensereignis" | Closer literal translation of "procedural event". | None. | Reject in favor of "Verfahrensschritt" — m's broader vocabulary uses "Schritt" (e.g. "Antragsschritt") more naturally than "Ereignis", which already maps to `paliad.events` in the audit-feed sense. |
+
+**Lock:**
+
+| Surface | Canonical |
+|---|---|
+| English | **procedural event** (lowercase except sentence-initial) |
+| German | **Verfahrensschritt** (m. — der Verfahrensschritt) |
+| Plural EN | procedural events |
+| Plural DE | Verfahrensschritte |
+| Code identifier (Go struct names, TS types) | `ProceduralEvent`, `ProceduralEventKind`, `ProceduralEventTemplate` |
+| Snake-case (DB columns, JSON keys, i18n keys, placeholders) | `procedural_event`, `procedural_event_kind`, `procedural_events` (table) |
+| Slice A: variable-bag placeholder namespace | `procedural_event.*` (with `rule.*` kept as legacy alias) |
+| Slice B: table name (if shipped) | `paliad.procedural_events` |
+
+`event_type` (the column) becomes `event_kind` in Slice B — using "kind" rather than "type" to free up the word "type" for the proceeding-level taxonomy (`paliad.proceeding_types`, untouched) and to mirror the "event_type vs event_kind" disambiguation einstein hit in the 2026-05-08 doc. In Slice A the column stays `event_type` (no DB change).
+
+**Q2 is locked by inventor recommendation.** It costs nothing structurally and clears noise across every downstream conversation. If m disagrees in the head round-trip, the only thing that flips is the term — Slice A's scope shape stays.
+
+---
+
+## §3 Scope decision (Q1 — A vs B vs C)
+
+**Recommendation = (C) — cosmetic rename now, structural rework as a planned follow-up.**
+
+### Why not (A) — cosmetic only and stop
+
+(A) leaves the model wrong forever. The conflation isn't just a labelling annoyance — it makes future questions harder to answer cleanly:
+
+- "How many distinct procedural events does paliad model?" Today: ambiguous (rows vs distinct `submission_code`s vs distinct `(submission_code, proceeding_type_id)` tuples).
+- "Where can we attach a per-procedural-event Word template that's independent of which proceeding it appears in?" Today: nowhere — the FK chain forces a per-row template registry, see `internal/handlers/files.go` template fallback.
+- "Show me every sequencing rule that triggers a given procedural event across all proceedings." Today: requires joining `deadline_rules` to itself on `submission_code` + `parent_id`, brittle.
+
+If m signals (A) anyway — fine; the cosmetic-only slice is a strict subset of (C)'s Slice A and ships the same value (label clarity in the editor). But the recommendation is to write down the structural target now while the analysis is fresh.
+
+### Why not (B) — restructure immediately
+
+(B) means: one slice plan, one cutover. With:
+- 254 live rule rows,
+- 1 live `paliad.deadlines` row,
+- 4 live `submission_drafts` rows,
+- 12 Go services + 6 handlers touching `deadline_rules` + 8 placeholder strings on the wire + the admin rule-editor UI bound to the column shape,
+
+…doing this in one cutover means a big-bang migration during a downtime window. m has granted exactly one such window in recent memory (2026-05-15 for mig 091's destructive drops), and that one was constrained to a 4-column drop. A four-table restructure has a meaningfully larger blast radius; it warrants its own task with its own slice plan and its own risk review.
+
+### Why (C) — cosmetic-rename Slice A this design, structural Slice B as a separate task
+
+Three properties of (C) make it the safe call:
+
+1. **Slice A is reversible at any time** — every change is in i18n strings, Go struct comments, admin-UI page titles, and the variable-bag aliases. No DB migration. No drop. A revert is a `git revert` of the Slice A commit.
+2. **Slice B is fully designed but uncommitted** — §4 and §5 below define the target shape and migration plan, but the design doc itself ships in Slice A. m can read it, redirect it, or park it without pressure to ship it now.
+3. **The Schriftsätze surface doesn't care which slice we ship** — Slice A leaves it on `event_type='filing'`; Slice B flips it to `event_kind IN ('filing', 'reply')` over a dual-write window. Either way, the lawyer-facing behavior is unchanged.
+
+### Slice A's deliverable boundary (what gets renamed, what stays)
+
+**Renamed in Slice A:**
+
+- **i18n keys** for the admin rule-editor field labels: `admin.rules.edit.field.submission_code` → `admin.rules.edit.field.procedural_event_code`, etc. (16 keys total — `name`, `name_en`, `description`, `submission_code`, `rule_code`, `legal_source`, `primary_party`, `event_type` × DE/EN — full list in §7.1.)
+- **Variable-bag placeholder labels** in `submission-draft.ts:158-185`: the *visible label* (`{ de: "Schriftsatz-Code", en: "Submission code" }`) is unchanged for filings (filings are still Schriftsätze on that surface), but the **namespace shown next to the placeholder string** changes: lawyer sees `{{procedural_event.code}}` in the placeholder column with the same Schriftsatz-Code label and same value. The old `{{rule.submission_code}}` stays in the catalog as an "(alt)" entry pointing at the same field.
+- **Variable-bag emission** (`internal/services/submission_vars.go:351-364`): the bag emits **both** key-names for every value, so any Word template / saved draft holding `{{rule.X}}` keeps working without a touch. New templates and the in-app catalog show the canonical `{{procedural_event.X}}` name.
+- **Admin page titles + section headings**: "Regel bearbeiten" → "Verfahrensschritt bearbeiten" (DE), "Edit rule" → "Edit procedural event" (EN). "Regeln verwalten" → "Verfahrensschritte verwalten" / "Procedural events". The URL path `/admin/rules` stays — URL renames have downstream cost (bookmarks, audit log entries) and would need their own redirect slice (out of scope here).
+- **Go struct comments + service docstrings + worker-facing log lines** that refer to "the rule" → "the procedural event" where the referent is the procedural-event aspect (not the sequencing-rule aspect). Function names, type names, table name stay (Slice B handles those).
+- **The "Submission Code / Einreichung-Kennung" label** itself stays (it's the lawyer's anchor — they recognize it). The framing around it changes: it now reads as "the code that identifies this *procedural event*", not "the code attached to this *rule*".
+
+**Untouched in Slice A:**
+
+- Database schema. Table name (`paliad.deadline_rules`). Column names. FK directions. Indexes. RLS policies. Triggers. Audit log column `rule_id`.
+- Go struct names: `DeadlineRule` stays. The renames here are *prose*, not *code*. Renaming `DeadlineRule` to `ProceduralEvent` couples Slice A to Slice B's table rename — keep them decoupled.
+- JSON envelope keys on the wire (`POST /api/admin/rules/:id` still accepts `submission_code` in the body — Slice B's API rename is a breaking change with its own deprecation window).
+- URL paths (`/admin/rules`, `/api/admin/rules/:id`, `/api/projects/:id/submissions` etc.).
+- `paliad.deadlines.rule_id` FK column name.
+- The variable-bag's legacy `{{rule.X}}` keys — kept forever as aliases (cheap, zero rot).
+- The `submission_drafts` table's `submission_code` text key.
+
+This boundary makes Slice A a one-day coder shift: scoped, reversible, label-only.
+
+### What Slice B inherits
+
+Slice B inherits a codebase + a UI where every prose surface already speaks "procedural event". It also inherits a *legacy alias contract* (the dual emission in the variable bag) that gives it freedom to rename the JSON keys on the wire and the Go struct in two separate sub-slices without rushing.
+
+---
+
+## §4 Restructure schema (Q3 — if/when we ship Slice B)
+
+This is the target the eventual Slice B coder would land. **Nothing here ships in this task.**

+--  in URLs and chat, and it doubles as the procedural_events.code value)
+```
+
+### §4.2 What goes where (column-by-column map)
+
+Every column on today's `paliad.deadline_rules` lands on exactly one of the three new tables:
+
+| Today's `deadline_rules` column | Lands on | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id`, `created_at`, `updated_at` | `sequencing_rules` | The current row's identity becomes a sequencing-rule row. `procedural_events.id` is **new** — backfilled from `submission_code`. |
+| `submission_code` | `procedural_events.code` | Promoted up. Multi-row codes (10 in corpus, all `_archived_litigation.*`) collapse to one row on the new table; the 2-5 sequencing rows hang off it. |
+| `name`, `name_en`, `description` | `procedural_events` | Procedural-event identity. |
+| `primary_party` | `procedural_events.primary_party_default` AND `sequencing_rules.primary_party` | Both. The procedural event has a default party (claimant for Klage etc.); the sequencing rule can override per-jurisdiction (bilateral variants — e.g. `litigation.reply` claimant vs defendant become two sequencing rows with overridden party). |
+| `event_type` | `procedural_events.event_kind` | Hat 1, with rename to `event_kind` (term lock §2). |
+| `legal_source` | `legal_sources.citation` + FK from `procedural_events.legal_source_id` | The citation moves to its own row; the procedural event points at it. `pretty_de` / `pretty_en` materialize the existing `legalSourcePretty()` function output as columns (with the function retained as the migration source). |
+| `rule_code`, `alt_rule_code`, `rule_codes[]` | `sequencing_rules` | Short-form citation arrays stay on the sequencing rule — they're rule-specific. |
+| `proceeding_type_id`, `parent_id`, `trigger_event_id`, `spawn_proceeding_type_id`, `is_spawn`, `spawn_label`, `is_bilateral`, `is_court_set`, `combine_op` | `sequencing_rules` | Hat 3 (mechanics) — exact copies. |
+| `duration_value`, `duration_unit`, `timing`, `alt_duration_value`, `alt_duration_unit`, `anchor_alt` | `sequencing_rules` | Hat 3 (mechanics). |
+| `condition_expr` (jsonb) | `sequencing_rules` | Hat 3. The grammar from mig 091 stays. |
+| `priority`, `sequence_order` | `sequencing_rules` | Hat 3. |
+| `is_active`, `lifecycle_state`, `draft_of`, `published_at` | **BOTH** `procedural_events` AND `sequencing_rules` | A procedural event can be retired independently of any one of its sequencing variants. Backfill: copy onto both during dual-write; new rows go through the rule-editor service which writes both sides together. |
+| `concept_id` (FK to `deadline_concepts`) | `procedural_events.concept_id` | The concept layer (einstein 2026-05-08) attaches to the procedural event, not the sequencing rule. |
+| `deadline_notes`, `deadline_notes_en` | `sequencing_rules` | They're rule-specific notes ("filing the appeal in DE costs €X if you also did Y") — not procedural-event-wide. |
+
+Three columns disappear:
+
+- The semantically-overloaded part of `event_type` (renamed to `event_kind` and moved).
+- The "what is this thing" vs "how does it fire" name conflict — gone by construction.
+- Any column that exists only because of the conflation (none of today's columns are pure overhead — they all carry data — so the count stays at 38 across the three new tables).
+
+### §4.3 Indexes + RLS
+
+`paliad.can_see_project()` is the canonical RLS predicate (mig 055). None of the three new tables hold project-scoped data — they're firm-wide reference tables. RLS = none, same posture as today's `deadline_rules` (which is firm-wide and unrestricted at the row level; access control is via the `lifecycle_state='published'` filter in the read paths).
+
+Indexes inherited from today:
+
+- `paliad.legal_sources(citation)` — UNIQUE.
+- `paliad.procedural_events(code)` — UNIQUE.
+- `paliad.procedural_events(concept_id)` — for the deadline-concept join.
+- `paliad.sequencing_rules(procedural_event_id, proceeding_type_id, lifecycle_state)` — primary read path for the calculator.
+- `paliad.sequencing_rules(parent_id)` — tree walk.
+- `paliad.sequencing_rules(trigger_event_id)` — event-rooted variant.
+
+---
+
+## §5 Migration plan (Slice B — when it ships, not in this task)
+
+Phased dual-write, so the cutover is **never** a single instant where the wire format flips. m gets to roll back any one phase with a `git revert` + an `ALTER TABLE` if a phase misbehaves in prod.
+
+### §5.1 Phase 1 — Additive (no down-time)
+
+1. Create `procedural_events`, `sequencing_rules`, `legal_sources`.
+2. Backfill `legal_sources` from `DISTINCT legal_source` on `deadline_rules` (70 rows). Populate `pretty_de`/`pretty_en` by calling the existing `legalSourcePretty()` function in a one-shot SQL/Go shim during the migration. Verify `COUNT(DISTINCT legal_source FROM deadline_rules) = COUNT(*) FROM legal_sources`.
+3. Backfill `procedural_events` from `DISTINCT submission_code` on `deadline_rules WHERE submission_code IS NOT NULL`. Take `name`, `name_en`, `event_type → event_kind`, `primary_party`, `concept_id`, `description` from the lowest-`id` rule row for each code (tie-breaker: lowest `sequence_order`). Verify `COUNT(*) FROM procedural_events = COUNT(DISTINCT submission_code FROM deadline_rules WHERE submission_code IS NOT NULL)` (= 158).
+4. Backfill `sequencing_rules` 1:1 from `deadline_rules` (254 rows). FK `procedural_event_id` resolved by code lookup; sequencing-rule row inherits the `deadline_rules.id` (so existing `deadlines.rule_id` FKs continue to resolve via the new column for the dual-write window — see Phase 3).
+5. Add `paliad.deadlines.procedural_event_id` + `sequencing_rule_id` columns, backfill from `deadlines.rule_id` join.
+6. Add `paliad.submission_drafts.procedural_event_id`, backfill from `submission_code` join.
+
+This phase ships behind a feature flag (or just behind unused code) — readers + writers stay on `deadline_rules`. No behavior change.
+
+### §5.2 Phase 2 — Dual-write (no down-time)
+
+7. Update `RuleEditorService` to write to both `deadline_rules` (legacy) and (`procedural_events`, `sequencing_rules`, `legal_sources`) on every Create/Update/Publish/Archive. Audit log writes one row per side.
+8. Update read paths to **read from the new tables**, falling back to `deadline_rules` if the new row is missing (defense-in-depth during backfill catch-up).
+9. Run for ≥ 1 week (m's call on length). Compare row counts and a hash digest of the union daily — if drift, surface.
+
+### §5.3 Phase 3 — Cutover (no down-time, but reversible only via re-application of the dual-write)
+
+10. Flip read paths to **only** the new tables (`SubmissionVarsService.loadPublishedRule`, `DeadlineRuleService.*`, `SubmissionService.list`, `ProjectionService`, `FristenrechnerCalc`, etc.).
+11. Stop writing to `deadline_rules`.
+12. `paliad.deadlines.rule_id` is kept as a no-op alias for one more week; new writes go to `procedural_event_id` + `sequencing_rule_id`.
+13. `submission_drafts.submission_code` is kept as the URL anchor; the FK `procedural_event_id` is the primary join key going forward.
+
+### §5.4 Phase 4 — Drop legacy (downtime window, destructive)
+
+14. `paliad.deadline_rules_pre_<slice-B-mig>` snapshot of the entire table.
+15. DROP TABLE paliad.deadline_rules (after CASCADE-safe FK rewires).
+16. DROP COLUMN paliad.deadlines.rule_id (keep `rule_code` + `custom_rule_text` as the human-readable denormalized columns — they're the safety net for orphaned deadlines per t-paliad-258).
+
+m grants this destructive phase its own window (precedent: mig 091 on 2026-05-15). Until then, the legacy table sits dormant.
+
+### §5.5 Migration tracker
+
+- Slice B uses migration numbers 124 (Phase 1 — create tables + backfill) and onward — a 4-5 migration sequence, one per phase boundary, mirroring the Phase 2/3 slicing that shipped under t-paliad-195.
+- Each migration includes a `paliad.audit_reason = 'mig <n>: <slice-B-phase>'` set_config like mig 091 did, so the audit log captures the schema journey.

+
+## §6 Service-layer impact
+
+### §6.1 Slice A — prose-only changes
+
+| File | Change |
+|---|---|
+| `internal/services/submission_vars.go` | `addRuleVars` → also emit `procedural_event.code`, `procedural_event.name`, `procedural_event.name_de`, `procedural_event.name_en`, `procedural_event.legal_source`, `procedural_event.legal_source_pretty`, `procedural_event.primary_party`, `procedural_event.event_kind` (8 new keys, 1:1 with the 8 existing `rule.*` keys, same values). Rename docstrings + the package-level placeholder map comment ("`rule.*`" → "`procedural_event.*` (with legacy alias `rule.*`)"). |
+| `internal/services/deadline_rule_service.go` | Top-of-file comment + struct comment renames only. Method names stay (`DeadlineRuleService`, `GetByID`, etc.). |
+| `internal/services/rule_editor_service.go` | Same. |
+| `internal/services/projection_service.go`, `deadline_service.go`, `fristenrechner.go`, `submission_draft_service.go`, `event_trigger_service.go`, `event_deadline_service.go`, `proceeding_mapping.go`, `export_service.go` | No code changes. Comments mentioning "the rule"/"rules" stay accurate as long as the file is about sequencing — only services that surface the **identity** aspect of the rule (`submission_vars.go`) need a prose pass. |
+| `internal/handlers/submissions.go` | No SQL change. Type+comment renames: the catalog response type stays `submissionListEntry` (it's still a Schriftsatz-level list); doc comments speak of "procedural events whose kind is filing" instead of "rules of type filing". |
+| `internal/handlers/admin_rules.go` | URL path stays. JSON envelope stays. Page-render comments + log-line text shift to "procedural event". |
+| `internal/handlers/submission_drafts.go`, `deadlines.go`, `fristenrechner.go` | No service-layer change. |
+
+### §6.2 Slice B — structural

+Mostly load-bearing; not enumerated here in detail (out of scope per (R)=C). The shape:
+
+- `RuleEditorService` splits into `ProceduralEventService` + `SequencingRuleService` + `LegalSourceService`. The Save / Publish / Archive flow on the editor coordinates all three.
+- `DeadlineRuleService.GetByID` becomes `SequencingRuleService.GetByID`; the `submission_code` lookup moves to `ProceduralEventService.GetByCode`.
+- `SubmissionVarsService.loadPublishedRule` becomes `loadPublishedProceduralEvent` and returns a triple (`event`, `defaultSequencingRule`, `legalSource`); the variable-bag emission consumes all three.
+- `ProjectionService` and the Fristenrechner calculator read from `sequencing_rules` (same column set, same logic — only the table name changes).
+- `SubmissionService.list` (handlers/submissions.go) filters `procedural_events.event_kind IN ('filing', 'reply')`.
+- Backfill orphans + audit triggers (mig 079 / 089) are re-pointed at `sequencing_rules` + a new `procedural_events_audit`.

+### §7.1 i18n keys (Slice A)
+
+Existing keys (DE + EN) at `frontend/src/client/i18n.ts` lines ~2834-2920 and ~5800-5890 — surface area is *labels*, not *placeholders-in-Word*:

+| `admin.rules.edit.field.description` | `admin.procedural_events.edit.field.description` | "Beschreibung" | "Description" |
+
+**Legacy keys retained as aliases** so any existing translation imports or external integrations keep working — old keys point at the same DE/EN values during a deprecation window of one full Slice B cycle.
+
+### §7.2 Variable-bag placeholders (Slice A)
+
+`frontend/src/client/submission-draft.ts:155-185` — the catalog of placeholders the lawyer sees in the sidebar:
+
+| Old placeholder (kept as legacy alias) | New canonical placeholder | DE label | EN label |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `{{rule.submission_code}}` | `{{procedural_event.code}}` | "Code (Verfahrensschritt)" | "Code (procedural event)" |
+| `{{rule.name}}` | `{{procedural_event.name}}` | "Bezeichnung" | "Name" |
+| `{{rule.name_de}}` | `{{procedural_event.name_de}}` | "Bezeichnung (DE)" | "Name (DE)" |
+| `{{rule.name_en}}` | `{{procedural_event.name_en}}` | "Bezeichnung (EN)" | "Name (EN)" |
+| `{{rule.legal_source}}` | `{{procedural_event.legal_source}}` | "Rechtsgrundlage (Code)" | "Legal source (code)" |
+| `{{rule.legal_source_pretty}}` | `{{procedural_event.legal_source_pretty}}` | "Rechtsgrundlage" | "Legal source" |
+| `{{rule.primary_party}}` | `{{procedural_event.primary_party}}` | "Partei (typisch)" | "Primary party" |
+| `{{rule.event_type}}` | `{{procedural_event.event_kind}}` | "Art des Verfahrensschritts" | "Procedural-event kind" |
+
+The catalog renders the canonical name in the "copy-this-placeholder" button. The variable bag (`submission_vars.go`) emits both names with identical values, so any Word template the lawyer already has continues to work; new templates are encouraged to use the canonical name.
+
+### §7.3 Admin rule-editor form (Slice A)
+
+`frontend/src/admin-rules-edit.tsx:74-110` — i18n key rebinds + heading text update. The DOM `id` attributes (`f-submission-code`, `f-rule-code`, `f-legal-source`, …) stay — they're internal, the rename here is cosmetic, the form still POSTs the same JSON envelope (Slice A doesn't touch the API). The fieldset `legend` for the "Identität" section changes to "Verfahrensschritt-Identität" (DE) / "Procedural-event identity" (EN). The "Verfahren & Trigger" section heading stays — that section is about sequencing, and Slice A doesn't rename sequencing-level labels (those are Slice B).
+
+### §7.4 Project-detail Schriftsätze tab + dashboard
+
+`frontend/src/client/submissions.ts`, `submissions-index.ts`: no surface-level label change in Slice A. The Schriftsätze tab continues to show Schriftsätze (the lawyer's preferred term for *filings specifically*). The tab is a filtered view onto procedural events of kind `filing`/`reply` — that distinction surfaces only in admin contexts.
+
+### §7.5 Help text + docs
+
+A short addition to the in-app help: "What is a procedural event?" — one-paragraph definition explaining the umbrella term, with examples (Klage, Klageerwiderung, mündliche Verhandlung, Endurteil). Stored in `frontend/src/client/i18n.ts` under `help.procedural_events.intro`. Out of scope for the URL/router changes — added as static copy where it fits naturally.
+
+---
+
+## §8 Slice plan
+
+### §8.1 Slice A (this design's downstream task)
+
+**Scope:** prose-only rename per §3 ("renamed in Slice A" list).
+
+**Mechanics:**
+
+1. Add 8 new placeholder keys to the variable bag in `submission_vars.go` (1:1 with the existing 8 `rule.*` keys). Keep the legacy keys.
+2. Update `frontend/src/client/submission-draft.ts` placeholder catalog labels.
+3. Rebind admin i18n keys per §7.1 (with legacy keys retained).
+4. Update admin page titles + section headings.
+5. Update Go struct comments + service docstrings in `submission_vars.go`, `deadline_rule_service.go`, `rule_editor_service.go`, `submission_draft_service.go`, `submissions.go` handler. No code-flow change.
+6. Update `internal/handlers/submissions.go` doc comments.
+7. Add a short `docs/glossary.md` entry (or extend an existing one) for "procedural event" / "Verfahrensschritt" — single source of truth for the term.
+8. Tests: rename strings in existing test fixtures + add a regression test that the variable bag emits **both** the legacy `rule.X` and the canonical `procedural_event.X` keys with the same value. (Critical — without this test, a future commit could drop the legacy alias and silently break user templates.)
+9. Manual smoke: open the admin rule editor, confirm the new title appears. Open the submission-draft editor, confirm both `{{rule.X}}` and `{{procedural_event.X}}` placeholders are listed (with canonical first). Generate a `.docx` from a project using each placeholder name — both render identically.
+
+**Risk:** very low. No DB change, no API change, fully reversible.
+
+**No hours estimate per project CLAUDE.md.**
+
+### §8.2 Slice B (separate mai task — designed here, hired later)
+
+**Scope:** structural rework per §4 + §5.
+
+**Mechanics:** Phase 1 → Phase 4 per §5.
+
+**Prerequisite:** m greenlights via a new mai task with this doc + §11's open items addressed. **Not part of Slice A.**
+
+**Sub-slices (suggested for Slice B's own task):**
+
+- **B.0** — Re-validate this doc's premises against live DB (numbers shift over weeks).
+- **B.1** — Phase 1 additive migration + backfill (mig 124).
+- **B.2** — Phase 2 dual-write + read-fallback.
+- **B.3** — Phase 3 read cutover (no schema change).
+- **B.4** — Phase 4 destructive drop (downtime window).
+- **B.5** — Rename Go types `DeadlineRule` → `SequencingRule` + `ProceduralEvent`; rename JSON API envelope keys with a deprecation header. Independent of B.4.
+- **B.6** — Rename admin URL paths `/admin/rules` → `/admin/procedural-events` with redirects. Optional / low-priority.
+
+### §8.3 Why splitting is the right call
+
+The conflation is real, but the *fix* for the most-painful surface (the editor sidebar) is independent of the table restructure. Splitting lets m ship the fix this week, see whether the prose change alone resolves enough of the cognitive friction, and then decide whether the structural rework is still worth the migration cost. If after Slice A m says "this reads fine now, B isn't worth it", that's a legitimate outcome — Slice B is a *good* refactor, not an *urgent* one.
+
+---
+
+## §9 Risk assessment
+
+### §9.1 Slice A risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Severity | Mitigation |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Lawyer's existing Word template has `{{rule.submission_code}}` baked in; a future commit drops the legacy alias and breaks templates. | Low (Slice A keeps the alias) | High if it happens | Regression test (§8.1 step 8) asserts both keys emit. Add an audit-log line on every variable-bag call recording which keys were consumed by the merge engine — gives a 30-day window of evidence before we'd consider deprecating the legacy keys. |
+| i18n key rename misses a binding, leaving an English string visible to a DE user. | Medium | Low | The build pipeline (`bun test` / `bun build`) fails on missing i18n keys in `i18n-keys.ts`. Add the new keys to the type union; leave the old keys in the union with `@deprecated` JSDoc. |
+| Renamed admin page heading confuses returning admin users ("Where did 'Regeln verwalten' go?"). | Medium | Low | One-time changelog entry; the URL `/admin/rules` is unchanged so muscle memory still lands them on the page. Internal users only (whitelist-gated). |
+| Slice A reads as "we're done" and Slice B never ships. | Medium | Medium (the model stays wrong) | This doc files the Slice B design as a separate task entry **before** Slice A merges, so the to-do is visible. m's call whether to schedule it. |
+
+### §9.2 Slice B risks (deferred; recorded for the future task)
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Backfill collapses too eagerly: 10 multi-row submission_codes today are `_archived_litigation.*` — confirm they should collapse into one procedural event with 2-5 sequencing variants, vs. each row becoming its own procedural event. | The `_archived_litigation.*` codes are archived per their prefix — collapse is safe. **Decision-flag for Slice B's own design pass.** |
+| `deadline_concepts` linkage (125 of 254 rules link to a concept) — does the concept attach to the procedural event or the sequencing rule? §4.2 says procedural event; verify this is right when re-validating premises in B.0. | Read-path audit: every consumer that joins `deadline_rules.concept_id` (rule_editor, projection, fristenrechner) operates on the rule-level today. Reconfirm none of them depend on per-jurisdiction concept-attachment. |
+| The dual-write window introduces drift if a write hits one side and fails on the other. | Atomicity via single transaction per write in `RuleEditorService`. Daily drift-check job (one SELECT pair, alert if mismatched). |
+| `paliad.deadlines.rule_id` (1 live row, but more in future) — backfilling `procedural_event_id` + `sequencing_rule_id` must not orphan the live row. | The 1 live row joins cleanly. Backfill in the same migration that adds the new columns. |
+| The submission-draft `submission_code` text key — what if two `procedural_events.code` values collide post-rename (e.g. a draft was saved against a code that we then archive)? | Slice B Phase 1 enforces `procedural_events.code UNIQUE`; the backfill verifies no collision on the existing 158 distinct values. Drafts with codes that no longer exist as published procedural events are handled by the existing `submission_drafts.submission_code` text fallback (no FK enforcement). |
+| Slice B's API-key rename (`submission_code` → `code` in JSON) breaks external integrations. | None exist today (paliad is internal-only); add a one-Slice deprecation header (`X-Deprecated-Field: submission_code`) before flipping. |
+| **Coordination risk with future fristen/calculator work.** The Fristenrechner calculator reads `deadline_rules` directly today. Slice B Phase 2's read-fallback handles this, but a parallel calculator feature in flight could land changes that need re-merging. | B.0's job: confirm no in-flight task touches `deadline_rules` table shape before scheduling. |
+
+### §9.3 What rolls Slice A back
+
+`git revert <slice-a-commit>` + reload. Zero data side-effects (no DB writes). 30 seconds.
+
+### §9.4 What rolls Slice B back
+
+Per phase — Phases 1-3 reversible via reverting code + `DROP TABLE`. Phase 4 reversible only by restoring `deadline_rules` from the `_pre_<n>` snapshot taken at the start of Phase 4. Same posture as mig 091 — m's call when to commit to this point.
+
+---
+
+## §10 Out of scope
+
+- **Renaming `paliad.events`** (the audit feed). Distinct table, distinct concept. The umbrella-term lock (§2) deliberately uses "procedural event" not "event" to avoid colliding with it.
+- **Renaming `paliad.deadline_concepts`** to align with the procedural-event taxonomy. The concept layer is the cross-proceeding semantic bridge (einstein 2026-05-08 Q5); the relationship "procedural event has-a concept" already reads cleanly under the new term.
+- **Per-jurisdiction variations of the same procedural event** (issue body's explicit out-of-scope). The 10 multi-row codes in the corpus today stay multi-row.
+- **Multi-tenant / cross-firm sharing of procedural events** — paliad is single-tenant per deploy via `FIRM_NAME`; cross-firm is a separate design.
+- **einstein's `proceeding_event_edges` graph proposal.** That design proposed a graph of typed event-types connected by typed edges. This design's procedural-events / sequencing-rules split is **compatible** with that graph shape (the edges would attach to procedural-event-IDs rather than sequencing-rule-IDs), but the graph layer is a Slice C, not Slice B. Flagged for future continuity, not part of either slice here.
+- **Renaming Go type `DeadlineRule` to `SequencingRule` or `ProceduralEvent` in Slice A.** Slice A is prose; Slice B's B.5 sub-slice handles the type rename. Coupling them costs the reversibility property.
+- **API-envelope key renames** (`submission_code` → `code`, `event_type` → `event_kind` on the wire). Slice B only.
+- **URL path renames** (`/admin/rules` → `/admin/procedural-events`). Slice B.6, optional.
+- **Touching `paliad.trigger_events`** beyond keeping the FK path open (today `deadline_rules.trigger_event_id`; Slice B maps to `sequencing_rules.trigger_event_id`).
+- **Touching `paliad.event_categories` / Pathway-B navigation.** Independent layer.

+
+## §11 Open questions for m (escalated via `mai instruct head` per project CLAUDE.md)
+
+Per project CLAUDE.md "Head answers questions — NO AskUserQuestion" rule, these are surfaced to head, not picked-as-chip with the user.
+
+| ID | Question | Inventor recommendation | Material to head? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Q1** | Scope: cosmetic-only (A) · full restructure (B) · cosmetic now + B as planned follow-up (C). | **(R) = C** | Yes — material. Defines whether Slice B is hired today or filed as a future task. |
+| **Q2** | Umbrella term: "procedural event" (DE: Verfahrensschritt) · "submission" (filings only) · "Verfahrensereignis" · other. | **(R) = procedural event / Verfahrensschritt** | Yes — material. The term ripples through every label in §7. Inventor's pick is the canonical choice; head can override with a single message. |
+| **Q3** | Slice B migration shape: confirmed (§4 + §5) or rescope. | **(R) = §4 + §5 as written, decision deferred until Slice B is hired** | No — informational. Locked when Slice B's own design pass runs. |
+| **Q4** | Effect on Schriftsätze surface: filter `procedural_events.event_kind IN ('filing', 'reply')` is acceptable replacement for today's `event_type='filing'`. | **(R) = yes, semantically equivalent under Slice B; no behavior change to lawyer.** | No — informational. |
+| **Q5** | Are the 10 archived multi-row submission_codes (`_archived_litigation.*`) safe to collapse into single procedural events with multiple sequencing variants in Slice B? | **(R) = yes, prefix indicates archival; collapse-safe.** | No — informational, defers to Slice B. |
+| **Q6** | `concept_id` attaches to procedural event, not sequencing rule. Confirmable? | **(R) = yes, per §4.2 (one concept per identity, not per jurisdiction).** | No — informational, defers to Slice B. |
+| **Q7** | Keep the legacy `{{rule.X}}` placeholder aliases **forever**, or set a deprecation horizon (e.g. 1 year)? | **(R) = forever, with `@deprecated` annotation in the catalog. Removing them risks breaking lawyer-authored templates that paliad doesn't see.** | Yes — material to Slice A's contract (test in §8.1 step 8 asserts both keys emit). |
+| **Q8** | Document side: update m/paliad#93 issue body to fix the `deadlines.deadline_rule_id` → `deadlines.rule_id` typo (§1 last paragraph). | **(R) = yes, head's call when to edit.** | No — informational, doc hygiene. |
+| **Q9** | After Slice A ships, do we file Slice B as a new mai task **now** (so it's visible), or wait for m to ask? | **(R) = file now, status:planning, no owner. Visibility >> deferred surprise.** | Yes — material to "does the model stay wrong forever". |
+
+Q1, Q2, Q7, Q9 are the four head needs to answer before the coder shift. Q3-Q6, Q8 defer cleanly.
+
+---
+
+## §12 Appendix — verbatim m quote
+
+From m's report 2026-05-25 15:02 (paliad#93 body):
+
+> This shows how our 'rule' table system may need a revision?! It feels like we are rule based not submission based. But here we have a specific submission that is connected to a rule (as in: legal norm). And of course also connected to other 'procedural events' (which is a good term for it all) by rules how they are sequenced. But it makes it sound weird in the fields...
+
+The design above takes m's three-way split — *the procedural event* / *the legal norm* / *the rule by which they are sequenced* — at face value and turns it into a column-level map (§4.2), a slice plan (§8), and a deprecation contract (§9.1).

+// Per-event-card choice popover + chip indicator (t-paliad-265 /

+//
+// The shared rendering core (verfahrensablauf-core.ts) emits a caret
+// button on cards that carry a non-empty `choices_offered` declaration
+// and an inert chip span next to the title. This module:
+//
+//   1. Wires a delegated click handler on the result container so the
+//      caret opens a popover with the offered choice-kinds.
+//   2. Commits the user's pick — either by POSTing to the project-
+//      bound endpoint or by mutating the in-memory state for the
+//      unbound (no-project) case.
+//   3. Rehydrates the chip on every render + after every commit so the
+//      glanceable indicator matches the active state.
+//
+// Two consumer pages — /tools/verfahrensablauf (unbound) and
+// /tools/fristenrechner (project-bound) — both wire this module
+// once at boot via attachEventCardChoices().

+-- 94a9e7e). 16 distinct single-row UPDATEs across UPC + DE-LG + DPMA +
+-- EPA proceedings; T0.5 + T0.6 were shipped separately as mig 124

+-- are dedup'd out per the audit's own note.
+--
+-- Also folds in m/paliad#99 (UPC Statement of Claim missing legal
+-- citation): upc.inf.cfi.soc.rule_code / legal_source backfilled to
+-- UPC RoP R.13(1). Same migration file, separate UPDATE block with
+-- its own guard.
+--
+-- All fixes within the existing schema (no new columns). Each UPDATE
+-- is guarded by a WHERE clause that matches only the pre-fix row
+-- state (per mig 095 convention) — re-applying against a DB that
+-- already carries the fix matches zero rows and no-ops, so there are
+-- no duplicate deadline_rule_audit entries on idempotent re-runs.
+--
+-- Verification DO block at the end RAISEs EXCEPTION if any of the
+-- patched rows is left in an inconsistent shape (mixing pre-fix and
+-- post-fix state).

+--
+-- m's report (2026-05-25 17:12) also explicitly named "Zwischenverfahren /
+-- Interim Conference 105" as missing a rule citation. The audit does not
+-- list R.105 as a Tier 1 item (the row upc.inf.cfi.interim already exists
+-- as a court-set anchor), so the fix is to BACKFILL rule_code/legal_source
+-- on that row rather than to insert a new rule. Done here as a separate

+--     The audit trigger (mig 079) tries to INSERT an audit row on AFTER
+--     DELETE pointing at OLD.id, but the existing FK constraint
+--     `deadline_rule_audit_rule_id_fkey` (FOREIGN KEY rule_id REFERENCES
+--     paliad.deadline_rules(id) ON DELETE CASCADE) makes that INSERT fail
+--     because by the time the trigger fires the parent row is gone. As a
+--     result no DELETE on paliad.deadline_rules has ever succeeded in
+--     production (`SELECT count(*) FROM paliad.deadline_rule_audit
+--     WHERE action='delete'` returns 0). The trigger's DELETE branch was
+--     dead code.
+--
+--     Standard audit-table design: the audit log is append-only history
+--     and should NOT FK-constrain on the live entity table — before_json
+--     captures the full row state at the time of the change, which is
+--     all the audit trail needs. Dropping the FK fixes the latent bug
+--     and unblocks legitimate cleanup work (here: §13b, plus any future
+--     hard-delete migrations against deadline_rules).

+--       R.250 — Determination of damages decision; damages-
+--         specific decision rule (chains R.144 indication →

+--       R.220.1(a) — Appeal lies from any final decision /
+--         decision disposing of the case at first instance.
+--         A PI order under R.211 disposes of the urgent question
+--         and is therefore appealable on the main 2-month track
+--         (not the 15-day order track of R.220.1(c), which covers
+--         case-management and procedural orders requiring leave).
+--         Curie's §F table confirms the main-track wiring for
+--         decisions on merits / disposing orders.
+--       R.224.1(a) — Statement of Appeal within 2 months of
+--         service of the final decision; the deadline-notes text
+--         mirrors mig 095's inf.appeal_spawn / rev.appeal_spawn.

+--         (separate deadline in the spawned upc.apl.merits
+--         proceeding; already present as upc.apl.merits.grounds).

+-- Shape decisions (mirroring mig 012 / mig 095 conventions):

+--     duration_value=0, is_court_set=true, parent_id=NULL,
+--     concept_id reuses the shared concepts already wired for
+--     upc.inf.cfi (interim-conference / oral-hearing / decision).
+--   * Spawn rows carry primary_party='both', is_spawn=true,
+--     spawn_proceeding_type_id=11 (upc.apl.merits), spawn_label
+--     identical to the merits spawn already in production. The
+--     spawn row's parent_id is the spawning decision/order row
+--     (so the audit log carries the trigger link).
+--   * No condition_expr — m's F2.3 decision recorded in mig 095
+--     §3: "the appeal deadline should always be triggered by a
+--     decision … appeal is always a possibility." Visibility
+--     filtering on the frontend hides appeals on projects where
+--     no appeal is contemplated.
+--   * sequence_order numbering follows the inf convention

+--                                    mechanics (today's per-row data)
+--
+-- and adds two nullable link columns on paliad.deadlines so B.2's
+-- dual-write phase has somewhere to point.
+--
+-- The migration does NOT touch paliad.deadline_rules. The legacy table
+-- stays intact and authoritative for reads until B.3 flips the cutover.
+-- deadlines.rule_id stays in place (read by the calculator + projection
+-- service). No app code is changed by this migration; B.2 introduces
+-- the dual-write that wires services to the new tables.
+--
+-- Backfill plan (cf. design §5.1 + B.0 findings §7):
+--   * legal_sources <- DISTINCT legal_source FROM deadline_rules WHERE
+--                       legal_source IS NOT NULL. pretty_de/pretty_en
+--                       LEFT NULL for now (legalSourcePretty() in Go
+--                       continues to materialise them on read; a future
+--                       slice backfills them via a Go shim).
+--   * procedural_events <-
+--       (a) DISTINCT ON (submission_code) FROM deadline_rules WHERE
+--           submission_code IS NOT NULL — picks the lowest-id rule per
+--           code as the procedural-event identity source.
+--       (b) one synthetic procedural_event per NULL-submission_code
+--           rule, code = 'null.' || substring(replace(id::text,'-',''),1,8).
+--           m's pick (paliadin instruction 2026-05-26): mint synthetic
+--           codes so every deadline_rules row ends up with a
+--           procedural_events row, preserving the 1:1 sequencing-rule
+--           backfill and keeping the NOT NULL FK on
+--           sequencing_rules.procedural_event_id intact.
+--   * sequencing_rules <- 1:1 from deadline_rules. The new row inherits
+--           the source row's id so that any existing
+--           paliad.deadlines.rule_id FK target stays resolvable through
+--           the dual-write window (design §5.1 step 4).
+--   * deadlines.procedural_event_id + sequencing_rule_id <- joined from
+--           sequencing_rules on the inherited id.
+--
+-- Design deviations (intentional, documented):
+--   - procedural_events.event_kind is NULLABLE (design proposed NOT NULL
+--     with 'other' fallback). Today 89 deadline_rules rows have NULL
+--     event_type — these are "structural / parent-only rows in the
+--     proceeding tree" per B.0 §1. Forcing them to 'other' would lose
+--     semantics. A later slice can tighten this to NOT NULL after the
+--     78+11 NULLs are reclassified.
+--   - legal_sources.pretty_de / pretty_en are NULLABLE (design proposed
+--     NOT NULL). Materialising them requires the Go-side
+--     legalSourcePretty() function — out of scope for a SQL migration.
+--     The Go read path continues to compute them on the fly from
+--     legal_source / citation; a future slice (Go shim driven from
+--     internal/services/submission_vars.go:619) backfills them.
+--   - submission_drafts is NOT modified. The design proposes adding
+--     procedural_event_id there too (§4.1 §5.1 step 6) but the B.1
+--     instruction scope is explicit: tables + deadlines columns only.
+--     submission_drafts continues to key off submission_code text.
+--
+-- Audit pattern follows mig 135 (Slice B3): PRE-pass counts what we
+-- expect to write, BACKFILL runs the SELECT-INSERTs, POST-pass verifies
+-- row counts and FK integrity. Any mismatch RAISE EXCEPTIONs and the
+-- transaction rolls back — operator sees the NOTICE lines and the

+-- re-projects paliad.sequencing_rules + paliad.procedural_events +
+-- paliad.legal_sources back into the legacy paliad.deadline_rules
+-- column shape.
+--
+-- Why a view instead of rewriting every SELECT in Go:
+--
+--   - 19 read sites across 11 service files reference
+--     paliad.deadline_rules. Rewriting each by hand multiplies the
+--     opportunity for off-by-one bugs in the JOIN.
+--   - The view has the same column names + types as the legacy table,
+--     so the change in Go is a 1-token substitution per query
+--     (FROM paliad.deadline_rules → FROM paliad.deadline_rules_unified)
+--     with no struct or scanner changes.
+--   - When B.4 drops paliad.deadline_rules, this view stays — it
+--     becomes the canonical legacy-shape reader for any code that
+--     hasn't been migrated to direct sr/pe/ls reads.
+--
+-- Column mapping (per design §4.2):
+--   - id, proceeding_type_id, parent_id, primary_party, duration_*,
+--     timing, sequence_order, is_spawn/court_set/bilateral, priority,
+--     rule_code, rule_codes, deadline_notes(_en), condition_expr,
+--     choices_offered, applies_to_target, trigger_event_id,
+--     spawn_proceeding_type_id, anchor_alt, alt_duration_*,
+--     alt_rule_code, combine_op, lifecycle_state, draft_of,
+--     published_at, is_active, created_at, updated_at, spawn_label
+--       → from paliad.sequencing_rules
+--   - submission_code           → procedural_events.code
+--   - name, name_en, description→ procedural_events
+--   - event_type                → procedural_events.event_kind (renamed)
+--   - concept_id                → procedural_events
+--   - legal_source              → legal_sources.citation (via legal_source_id FK)
+--
+-- The view is READ-ONLY by default. Writes still go to the underlying
+-- tables — RuleEditorService is refactored in the same slice to write
+-- directly to sr/pe/ls. paliad.deadline_rules is FROZEN from B.3 onward
+-- (no new writes); the dual-write helper from B.2 is decommissioned.
+
+-- The CHECK constraint on sequencing_rules.primary_party doesn't exist
+-- yet (mig 135 only constrained deadline_rules.primary_party). The view
+-- inherits whatever value sr.primary_party carries; mig 136's backfill
+-- set sr.primary_party = dr.primary_party so the canonical four-value
+-- vocab is already in place. A later slice can add the same CHECK to

+-- 140_drop_deadline_rules — Slice B.4 destructive drop (t-paliad-305 / m/paliad#93)
+--
+-- HARD STOPS:
+--   * Audit-first: snapshot paliad.deadline_rules → paliad.deadline_rules_pre_140
+--     in the SAME TRANSACTION as the DROP, per m's snapshot policy
+--     (precedent migs 091/093/095/098). The whole .up.sql runs inside a
+--     single transaction because the migration runner wraps it; if any
+--     statement fails, the snapshot CREATE TABLE rolls back with the
+--     destructive DROP.
+--   * No data loss: paliad.deadline_rules has been a write-side shadow
+--     since B.3 (B.2 dual-write keeps sequencing_rules + procedural_events
+--     + legal_sources current). Drift verified clean before this slice
+--     (deadline_rules=231, sequencing_rules=231, 0 mismatches across
+--     counts/FKs/lifecycle/is_active).
+--
+-- What this migration does:
+--   1. Snapshot deadline_rules → deadline_rules_pre_140 (preserves audit
+--      trail of the table's final state for forensic + revert paths).
+--   2. Final reconciliation: catch any deadlines whose
+--      sequencing_rule_id/procedural_event_id columns drifted from the
+--      legacy rule_id (no live drift today — defensive).
+--   3. Drop the audit trigger on deadline_rules (it can't fire on a
+--      gone table; the trigger function itself stays for the historical
+--      paliad.deadline_rule_audit reads).
+--   4. Re-point FKs that currently target deadline_rules.id over to
+--      sequencing_rules.id. The id values are identical (sequencing_rules
+--      inherited deadline_rules.id during mig 136 backfill), so no data
+--      migration is needed — just the constraint swap. Affects:
+--      - paliad.appointments.deadline_rule_id
+--      - paliad.deadline_rule_backfill_orphans.resolved_rule_id
+--   5. Drop paliad.deadlines.rule_id column. Per design §5.4 step 16:
+--      "DROP COLUMN paliad.deadlines.rule_id (keep rule_code +
+--      custom_rule_text as the human-readable denormalized columns —
+--      they're the safety net for orphaned deadlines per t-paliad-258)."
+--      The new sequencing_rule_id + procedural_event_id columns from
+--      mig 136 are the FK back-links from B.4 forward.
+--   6. DROP TABLE paliad.deadline_rules.
+--   7. INSTEAD OF triggers on paliad.deadline_rules_unified that route
+--      INSERTs/UPDATEs to the underlying sr+pe+ls tables. Lets the
+--      RuleEditorService keep its existing SQL shape (one INSERT, one
+--      UPDATE per write method) with only a table-name swap. The
+--      triggers project the legacy column shape back to the three new
+--      tables exactly as the dual-write helper did in B.2.
+--
+-- Down: best-effort restore from the snapshot. The original triggers,
+-- indexes, and FKs are NOT recreated — operator must replay historical
+-- migrations 078/079/091/095/098/122 to bring the table back to a
+-- working shape. The down path is for catastrophic recovery, not casual

+-- 145_scenarios — Slice D, m/paliad#124 §5 (revised)
+--
+-- Creates paliad.scenarios + paliad.projects.active_scenario_id FK.
+-- A scenario is a named composition of existing proceedings + flags
+-- + per-card choices + anchor dates the user can switch between for
+-- a project (project_id NOT NULL) OR save as an abstract template on
+-- /tools/verfahrensablauf (project_id IS NULL).
+--
+-- m's 2026-05-26 picks (AskUserQuestion round, doc commit 6e58595):
+--   Q1: composition shape  → primary+spawned (v1); multi-proceeding
+--                            peer compose is the v2 goal. spec.jsonb
+--                            architected for N entries from day 1.
+--   Q2: scope              → per-project + abstract.
+--   Q3: trigger dates      → per-anchor overrides over one base date.
+--   Q4: storage            → NEW paliad.scenarios table with jsonb
+--                            spec (NOT a project_event_choices column

+-- spec.proceedings[*].anchor_overrides keys must resolve to existing

+# `internal/db/testdata/` — CI snapshot
+
+## `prod-snapshot.sql`
+
+Schema-only `pg_dump` of paliad's prod DB (youpc-supabase paliad schema)
+plus the rows of `paliad.applied_migrations` that match this branch's
+on-disk migration set.
+
+**Purpose.** Lets CI's migration smoke (`.gitea/workflows/test.yaml`)
+restore a Postgres scratch DB to "paliad at HEAD-of-snapshot" without
+having to replay 131 migrations from scratch. ApplyMigrations on the
+restored DB sees the applied set and only runs whatever NEW migrations
+this PR adds — exactly the integration shape we want to test, and the
+same shape prod sees on every deploy.
+
+**Why a snapshot at all.** Running ApplyMigrations from scratch against a
+fresh `supabase/postgres:15.8.1.060` surfaces multiple fresh-DB
+idempotence bugs in historical migrations (raw `COMMIT;` in mig 051,
+missing `CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm` for mig 037, ALTER POLICY
+exception-handler gaps in mig 024/027 — the last is fixed in this PR).
+Fixing them all is a separate cleanup. The snapshot sidesteps them by
+starting CI from a state where every historical migration is already
+applied as it was in prod.
+
+**Schema scope.** `--schema=paliad` only. Auth schema comes baked into
+`supabase/postgres`; CI's setup step installs `pg_trgm` before restoring.
+
+**Ownership.** `--no-owner --no-privileges` keeps the dump portable
+across role topologies (CI's supabase_admin / postgres / authenticated /
+anon don't have to match prod's exact role layout). The role-split smoke
+relies on `postgres` being a non-superuser, which is true on
+supabase/postgres by default.
+
+**Refresh.** Run `make refresh-snapshot` with `PALIAD_PROD_DATABASE_URL`
+set to a Postgres URL with `pg_dump` rights on youpc-supabase. The
+target appends data rows for `paliad.applied_migrations`, strips
+`\restrict` / `\unrestrict` commands (pg 16 dump → pg 15 restore), and
+filters out applied-migrations rows for versions beyond the branch's
+local max. The CI workflow consumes the resulting file verbatim.
+
+**Verify a refresh.** Boot a local scratch:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --rm --name paliad-snap \
+  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ci -e POSTGRES_DB=paliad_scratch \
+  -p 15433:5432 supabase/postgres:15.8.1.060
+sleep 5
+docker exec -e PGPASSWORD=ci paliad-snap psql -h localhost -U supabase_admin -d paliad_scratch \
+  -c "GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE paliad_scratch TO postgres;" \
+  -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;"
+cat internal/db/testdata/prod-snapshot.sql | docker exec -i -e PGPASSWORD=ci paliad-snap \
+  psql -h localhost -U postgres -d paliad_scratch -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1
+TEST_DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:ci@localhost:15433/paliad_scratch?sslmode=disable" \
+TEST_APP_DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:ci@localhost:15433/paliad_scratch?sslmode=disable" \
+  go test -count=1 -run 'TestMigrations|TestBootSmoke|TestHealthReady_Live' ./internal/db/ ./cmd/server/
+docker stop paliad-snap
+```
+
+All four named tests must pass. If any fails after a refresh,
+investigate before merging — usually because a new migration was added
+to prod that this branch doesn't have on disk yet.
+
+**Why is the snapshot not gzipped?** Small enough (~200 KB) that the
+diff stays human-readable in `git diff` reviews. If it crosses ~1 MB,
+gzip + decompress-on-restore in CI.
+
+**Privacy.** Schema-only dump, no row data from any paliad table (except
+`paliad.applied_migrations`, which contains migration filenames +
+checksums — public info already in the repo).
