m reported /projects/{id} loaded the chrome and tabs but every panel was
empty even with deadlines/appointments/team rows that should render.
Console error: "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'length')" at
projects-detail.js — the Project Detail page expects every list endpoint
to return [] but at least two were returning literal JSON null.
Reproduced via the in-page fetch console:
/api/projects/{id}/parties → 200, body: "null"
/api/projects/{id}/children → 200, body: "null"
/api/projects/{id}/deadlines → 200, body: "[…]" (had data, fine)
/api/projects/{id}/team → 200, body: "[…]" (had data, fine)
Root cause: every list service in internal/services declared its result
as `var rows []models.X` and returned that to the handler, which
encoding/json marshals as `null` when the SELECT returns zero rows
(nil slice, not empty slice). Most endpoints happen to have data so
the bug stayed dormant until t-paliad-038 hit /projects/{id} where
parties + children are commonly empty.
Fix at the source — every list service that JSON-marshals to a client
now initialises `rows := []models.X{}` so the encoder produces `[]`:
party_service ListForProjekt
project_service List, ListAncestors, BuildTree, GetTree
(ListChildren goes through List)
deadline_service List + ListForProjekt
appointment_service List + ListForProjekt
note_service ListForProjekt
checklist_instance_service ListForProjekt
team_service List
department_service List + ListMembers + ListWithMembers
caldav_service was deliberately left alone — its lists are admin-only
debug surfaces, not user-facing tab fillers, and changing them would
mix scopes.
Belt-and-braces on the client too — projects-detail.ts now coerces every
`await resp.json()` for an array endpoint with `?? []` so a future
service regression can't crash the page.
Verified: go build/vet/test clean, bun run build clean.
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: mAi/paliad on mgit.msbls.de.

- Frontend: Bun + custom JSX/TSX renderer (no React), per-page client TS bundles, HTML-first forms
- Backend: Go (

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/migrations/_dev/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.
