A scenario is a named composition of existing proceedings + flags +
per-card choices + anchor dates. Users compose, they don't author —
spec references existing rules by submission_code; never creates new
rules. Per m's 2026-05-26 AskUserQuestion picks (doc commit 6e58595):
Q1 composition: primary + spawned (v1); multi-proceeding peer
compose is the v2 goal (spec.proceedings[] array)
Q2 scope: per-project + abstract (project_id NULL = abstract)
Q3 trigger: per-anchor overrides over one base date
Q4 storage: NEW paliad.scenarios table with jsonb spec
(NOT a project_event_choices column extension)
Migration 145 — additive only. Pre-flight coordination check:
- On-disk max: 138 (Berufung backfill, just merged).
- Live DB tracker: 106 (significantly behind — many migs pending
deploy).
- curie's #93 B.2-B.6 migs not pushed yet — reserved 139-143 + 144
as buffer; claimed 145 as the safe minimum that won't collide.
- paliad.scenarios has audit_reason NOT applicable (no audit
trigger on the table); updated_at trigger added on the table
itself.
- paliad.projects gains active_scenario_id uuid NULL FK with ON
DELETE SET NULL (mig 134 lesson — no updated_at clauses on
proceeding_types-style assumptions).
Schema:
paliad.scenarios (
id uuid pk,
project_id uuid NULL FK → projects(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
name text NOT NULL CHECK char_length > 0,
description text NULL,
spec jsonb NOT NULL CHECK jsonb_typeof = 'object',
created_by uuid NULL FK → users(id) ON DELETE SET NULL,
created_at + updated_at timestamptz,
UNIQUE NULLS NOT DISTINCT (project_id, created_by, name)
);
paliad.projects.active_scenario_id uuid NULL FK;
RLS: project-scoped → can_see_project; abstract → created_by = auth.uid();
Trigger: scenarios_touch_updated_at_trg.
pkg/litigationplanner additions:
- Scenario struct (db + json tags)
- ScenarioSpec / ScenarioProceeding / ScenarioCardChoice — parsed
view of the jsonb (version-1 today, v2 multi-peer-ready)
- ParseSpec(raw) + ScenarioSpec.PrimaryProceeding() + CalcOptionsFromSpec()
- ScenarioFilter + Catalog.LoadScenarios + Catalog.MatchScenario
- CalculateFromScenario(scenario, catalog, holidays, courts) — high-
level engine entry: parses spec → builds CalcOptions → delegates
to Calculate
- Sentinel errors: ErrUnknownScenario, ErrInvalidScenario,
ErrScenarioNoPrimary
paliadCatalog impl:
- LoadScenarios with progressively-built WHERE clauses (project-id
filter, abstract-for-user filter, or all)
- MatchScenario by id — returns ErrUnknownScenario on not-found
- Services connection bypasses RLS; ScenarioService enforces
visibility at the application layer (mirrors EventChoiceService
pattern from t-paliad-265)
SnapshotCatalog impl (embedded/upc):
- LoadScenarios returns empty slice (no scenarios in the snapshot)
- MatchScenario returns ErrUnknownScenario
internal/services/scenario_service.go:
- Create / Get / ListForProject / ListAbstractForUser / Patch /
SetActive / Delete with visibility checks
- validateSpec checks version, base_trigger_date format, every
proceedings[*].code resolves to an active paliad.proceeding_types
row, every appeal_target is valid, every anchor_overrides date
parses, every role ∈ {primary, peer}
- SetActive validates the scenario belongs to the requested project
(a scenario from a different project can't be active here)
- Returns ErrScenarioNotVisible for failed visibility checks
REST endpoints (registered in handlers.go):
GET /api/scenarios?project=<id> — list project's
GET /api/scenarios?abstract=true — list user's abstract
GET /api/scenarios/{id} — one
POST /api/scenarios — create
PATCH /api/scenarios/{id} — partial update
DELETE /api/scenarios/{id} — remove
PUT /api/projects/{id}/active-scenario — set / clear active
Handler error mapping:
- ErrUnknownScenario / ErrScenarioNotVisible → 404
- ErrInvalidInput / ErrInvalidScenario / ErrScenarioNoPrimary → 400
- everything else → 500
Tests:
- pkg/litigationplanner/scenarios_test.go: ParseSpec roundtrip
(well-formed + unknown version + malformed json),
PrimaryProceeding zero/multi/single, CalcOptionsFromSpec full
unpack, trigger_date_override path, no-base-trigger safety check.
8 cases total, all DB-free.
Wired in cmd/server/main.go alongside EventChoice — same pattern,
nil-safe when DATABASE_URL is unset (handlers 503 in that mode).
Acceptance:
- go build ./... clean
- go test ./... all green (incl. new scenarios tests)
- Pre-flight audit confirmed mig 145 number is safe vs curie's
pending B.2-B.6 range
