Keeps the parallel new tables (mig 136, Slice B.1) in lock-step with
the legacy paliad.deadline_rules table through every write path on
RuleEditorService. Read paths stay on deadline_rules in B.2 — B.3
flips them and stops legacy writes.
* internal/services/dual_write.go (new) —
- syncDualWriteFromDeadlineRule(ctx, tx, id): idempotent UPSERT of
legal_sources + procedural_events + sequencing_rules from the
just-written deadline_rules row. Pure SQL projection, no Go-side
struct mapping. Synthetic-code mint expression is byte-identical
to mig 136 ('null.' || first 8 hex of stripped uuid).
- syncDeadlineDualLinks(ctx, tx, deadlineID): mirrors a deadline's
legacy rule_id back-link onto deadlines.procedural_event_id +
sequencing_rule_id. Handles NULL rule_id naturally (collapses both
new columns to NULL).
- CheckDualWriteDrift(ctx, conn): nine read-only count queries +
integrity joins. Returns DualWriteDriftReport. HasDrift() bool for
log routing.
- StartDualWriteDriftCheckLoop(ctx, conn, interval): goroutine ticker
that runs CheckDualWriteDrift every `interval` (default 6h) for
the lifetime of ctx. Clean run logs at INFO; drift at WARN with
full report.
* internal/services/rule_editor_service.go —
- Create / UpdateDraft / CloneAsDraft / Publish / flipLifecycle
each call syncDualWriteFromDeadlineRule(ctx, tx, id) after the
deadline_rules mutation, before tx.Commit. Publish syncs BOTH the
published draft AND the cloned-from peer it just archived as a
cascade. The audit_reason already set via setAuditReasonTx
propagates to the new-table writes (same TX, same session).
* internal/services/rule_editor_orphans.go —
- ResolveOrphan calls syncDeadlineDualLinks after UPDATE
paliad.deadlines SET rule_id = $1, so the parallel new columns
follow the legacy back-link.
* internal/services/deadline_service.go —
- DeadlineService.Update calls syncDeadlineDualLinks when
input.RuleSet is true (auto/custom rule swap from t-paliad-258).
* cmd/server/main.go —
- Spawns StartDualWriteDriftCheckLoop alongside CalDAV sync and
reminder scanner. Inherits bgCtx so the goroutine stops on
SIGTERM. Interval 6h.
* internal/services/dual_write_test.go (new) —
- TestDualWrite_RuleEditorLifecycle: Create → UpdateDraft → Publish
→ Archive, asserts the new tables mirror at each step. Final
CheckDualWriteDrift returns zero drift.
- TestDualWrite_SyntheticCodeForNullSubmission: rule created with
submission_code=NULL gets a 'null.<8hex>' procedural_events row
matching mig 136's mint expression byte-for-byte.
Scope decisions documented in the commit:
- B.2 keeps read paths on deadline_rules. paliadin's "Read paths fall
back to legacy" reads as "reads stay on legacy as the safety net
while drift-check validates the new tables". B.3 swaps reads to
new tables only AND stops writing to deadline_rules — that's a
separate slice per the design's §5.2/§5.3 split.
- B.2 does NOT modify submission_drafts, projection_service, the
Fristenrechner calculator, the SubmissionVarsService, the
Schriftsätze list query, or any other reader. They keep reading
deadline_rules unchanged. The new tables are populated in parallel
for B.3's cutover.
- Audit triggers on deadline_rules continue to fire as before. The
new tables have no audit triggers yet (a later slice can add
parallel audit rows once the new tables are authoritative).
- Drift-check uses default 6h interval — short enough that a broken
dual-write surfaces within the same business day, long enough that
the count-COUNTs don't churn the pool. Override via the caller in
cmd/server.
Hard rules followed:
- audit_reason set on every TX before any deadline_rules mutation
(existing pattern; new-table writes share the same reason).
- No destructive op (B.2 is strictly additive in behaviour).
- New helpers idempotent (UPSERT ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE) — safe to
call twice, safe to re-run after a partial failure.
Build + vet clean. TestMigrations_NoDuplicateSlot passes.
paliad
Paliad — all-in-one patent practice platform for HLC (formerly Hogan Lovells). Knowledge tools and Aktenverwaltung behind one sidebar.
- Aktenverwaltung: Akten (matters), Fristen (deadlines), Termine (appointments) with CalDAV sync, Parteien, Dashboard. Office-scoped visibility with explicit collaborators.
- Knowledge tools: Prozesskostenrechner (DE / UPC / EPA), Fristenrechner, Gebührentabellen, Patentglossar, Gerichtsverzeichnis, Checklisten, Link Hub, Downloads.
Domain: paliad.de (legacy: patholo.de, patholo.msbls.de).
Repo: m/paliad on mgit.msbls.de.

Database migrations
Migrations live in internal/db/migrations/ as NNN_description.up.sql + .down.sql pairs. They are embedded into the Go binary via embed.FS and applied automatically at server startup (before the HTTP listener binds) when DATABASE_URL is set.
The migration tracker is paliad.paliad_schema_migrations (not the default public.schema_migrations). This avoids a collision with other apps on the shared youpc Supabase instance — see the memory episode "paliad migration bootstrap collision with shared Postgres" for the incident that drove the change.
Current migrations (as of April 2026):
001_paliad_schema schema + extensions
002_users paliad.users (office, role, practice_group)
003_reference_tables proceeding_types, deadline_rules, holidays
004_akten paliad.akten with visibility columns
005_akten_children parteien, fristen, termine, dokumente, akten_events, notizen
006_visibility paliad.can_see_akte() function
007_rls_policies RLS on every paliad table
008_seed_proceeding_types
009_seed_deadline_rules 32 UPC + 4 ZPO rules
010_seed_holidays DE federal + UPC judicial vacations
011_feedback_tables link_suggestions, checklisten_feedback, gerichte_feedback
012_fristenrechner_rules DB-backed rule set for /tools/fristenrechner
013_user_caldav_config per-user CalDAV (encrypted) + sync log
014_checklist_instances persisted checklist instances linkable to Akten
Add a new migration:
internal/db/migrations/015_<description>.up.sql
internal/db/migrations/015_<description>.down.sql
The down file is required and must reverse the up cleanly (verified by adding a one-off down test before merge).
To run migrations against a local Postgres:
docker run -d --name paliad-pg -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test -p 5432:5432 postgres:16-alpine
# bootstrap a mock auth schema (auth.users + auth.uid()) — required because
# the migrations reference Supabase-provided objects:
psql postgres://postgres:test@localhost:5432/postgres -f internal/db/devtools/mock_supabase_auth.sql
DATABASE_URL='postgres://postgres:test@localhost:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable' \
SUPABASE_URL=stub SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=stub \
go run ./cmd/server
Environment
| Variable | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
PORT |
no (default 8080) | HTTP listen port |
SUPABASE_URL |
yes | Supabase project URL (auth) |
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY |
yes | Supabase anon key (auth) |
DATABASE_URL |
for Aktenverwaltung | Direct Postgres conn for migrations + Akten/Fristen/Termine services. Knowledge-platform endpoints (Kostenrechner, Glossar, Links, Gebührentabellen, Checklisten, Gerichte, Downloads) don't use the pool and work without it. Aktenverwaltung endpoints return 503 if unset. |
CALDAV_ENCRYPTION_KEY |
for CalDAV sync | 32-byte AES-256 key, base64-encoded. Encrypts CalDAV passwords at rest (AES-GCM). Server fails fast on malformed key; if unset, CalDAV is silently disabled (/api/caldav-config returns 501). Generate with openssl rand -base64 32. |
GITEA_TOKEN |
optional | Gitea API token for the private file proxy (Downloads) |
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY |
not used today | Reserved for Phase H (AI Frist-Extraktion). Currently deferred — do not set. |

Project status (April 2026)
Phases A–G, I and J of the KanzlAI integration are shipped: schema, services, Akten, Fristen, Termine + CalDAV, Dashboard, Notizen service + UI (commit 5a9f8e5, 2026-04-17), and instanceable Checklisten (migration 014). Phase H (AI Frist extraction) is deferred pending a reversal of the "no Anthropic API" decision; the Dokumente tab on Akten detail is hidden until that lands. KanzlAI infra retirement (Dokploy shutdown, kanzlai schema drop, Gitea archive) is still pending.
See docs/feature-roadmap.md for the full backlog and docs/design-kanzlai-integration.md for the integration design.
