0. Read-this-first

0.1 What this doc is

Today's audit (paliadin/head, 2026-05-18) found that 130 of 213 active+published rows in paliad.deadline_rules have rule_code IS NULL, and 122 have legal_source IS NULL. The internal slug field code (e.g. inf.sod, de_null.berufung) had been mistaken for a legal citation; it is just the per-proceeding submission identifier. The actual RoP / ZPO / EPÜ / PatG / UPCA citation belongs in rule_code (display form) + legal_source (structured locator).

This document proposes a citation per rule. m approves; head re-tasks for migration 097.

0.2 Field convention (profiled from the 83 already-populated rows)

Field	Purpose	Examples from live data
rule_code	Human display form, what we'd write in a brief	§ 276 ZPO, § 110 PatG, Art. 99 EPÜ, R. 71(3) EPÜ, R. 116 EPÜ, RPBA Art. 12, RoP.029.a, RoP.220.1.a, RoP.151, RoP.49.1
legal_source	Structured locator (forum-prefixed, no zero padding) for cross-system joins / lex extraction	DE.ZPO.276.1, DE.PatG.111.1, EU.EPÜ.108, EU.EPC-R.71.3, EU.RPBA.12.1.c, UPC.RoP.29.a, UPC.RoP.220.1

Sub-conventions observed in live data

• legal_source prefixes: DE.<statute>.<n>.<para>, EU.EPÜ.<n>.<para>, EU.EPC-R.<n>.<para>, EU.RPBA.<n>.<para>.<letter>, UPC.RoP.<n>.<sub>.
• rule_code padding for UPC RoP is inconsistent today: rules below 100 are mostly 3-digit padded (RoP.029.a, RoP.030.1, RoP.049.2.a, RoP.056.1) but rev.defence carries an un-padded RoP.49.1. Rules ≥100 are never padded (RoP.137.2, RoP.220.1).
  • Proposed normalization: 3-digit pad for rules <100, no pad for ≥100. mig 097 should also normalize RoP.49.1 → RoP.049.1 (1 outlier row, rev.defence) as a side-fix. m to confirm.
• legal_source for UPC RoP never pads (UPC.RoP.29.a, not UPC.RoP.029.a). I follow that.

0.3 Triage philosophy — events vs. deadlines

Of the 130 NULL-rule_code rows, 53 carry a proceeding_type_id and 77 are orphans (proceeding_type_id IS NULL, also code IS NULL). Within the proceeding-typed bucket, most are event markers (zero duration_value, event_type ∈ {hearing, decision, filing}) that anchor other deadlines rather than computing one of their own.

I classify each row as one of:

Category	Treatment	Examples
Deadline (positive duration, fires off an anchor)	Cite the operative procedural norm. Confidence usually HIGH.	inf.sod Klageerwiderung 3 months → RoP.23
Constitutive event (zero duration, but a statute defines it)	Cite the constitutive norm (matches existing convention: de_inf.klage already has DE.ZPO.253). Confidence HIGH where the norm is canonical.	Klageerhebung → § 253 ZPO; Anmeldung EP → Art. 75 EPÜ; Klage UPC → RoP.13.1
Service / trigger event (zero duration, third-party delivery)	Cite the service norm (§ 317 ZPO etc.) with MEDIUM confidence — these are anchor events for downstream timers, not deadlines on a party. m may prefer NULL here. FLAG.	de_inf_olg.urteil_lg Zustellung LG-Urteil
Court-scheduled event (hearing, judgment-issuance)	Either NULL (recommended) or cite the general norm authorising the court to schedule. FLAG.	Mündliche Verhandlung BGH; OLG-Urteil
Court-set duration (positive duration but is_court_set=true, or local practice)	Cite the framing norm (e.g. § 273 ZPO for ZPO patent practice), MEDIUM, FLAG.	de_inf.replik 4 weeks (LG patent practice)

Where I am proposing NULL, the row stays as-is on the DB side (mig 097 simply doesn't touch it). The FLAG list at the bottom of this doc enumerates every NULL proposal so m can override with an explicit citation if desired.

0.4 Counts

• 130 rows in scope (rule_code IS NULL; is_active=true; lifecycle_state='published')
• 53 proceeding-typed + 77 orphan (no proceeding_type_id, no code)
• 8 rows already carry a legal_source — those are easy wins: only rule_code needs proposing
• ~ 40 HIGH-confidence proposals
• ~ 35 MEDIUM-confidence proposals
• ~ 55 FLAG entries (court-scheduled events, combined-pleading rows, ambiguous orphans)

The orphan bucket carries a noticeable number of duplicates (six "Mängelbeseitigung / Zahlung" rows, two "Beginn des Hauptsacheverfahrens", two "Antrag auf Patentänderung", etc.). Those are likely vestiges of older Fristenrechner pipelines; backfilling them with the same citation is fine, but m may want a separate dedup pass (out of scope here; flag in § 4).

1. Easy wins — rows with legal_source already set, rule_code missing (8)

For these, the structured locator is already in the DB; only the display form is missing.

id	code / name	duration	existing legal_source	proposed rule_code	conf
1f532c82…	de_inf.klage / Klageerhebung	event	DE.ZPO.253	§ 253 ZPO	HIGH

3c36f149…	(orphan) Schriftsatznachreichung (§ 296a ZPO)	3 weeks	DE.ZPO.296a	§ 296a ZPO	HIGH
f1099cf6…	(orphan) Weiterbehandlungsantrag (Art. 121 EPÜ)	2 months	EU.EPC-R.135.1	R. 135 EPÜ	HIGH
c24d494c…	(orphan) Wiedereinsetzungsantrag (§ 123 PatG)	2 months	DE.PatG.123.2	§ 123 PatG	HIGH
d40d9be7…	(orphan) Wiedereinsetzungsantrag (§ 233 ZPO)	2 weeks	DE.ZPO.234.1	§ 234 ZPO	HIGH
23c6f445…	(orphan) Wiedereinsetzungsantrag (Art. 122 EPÜ)	2 months	EU.EPC-R.136.1	R. 136 EPÜ	HIGH
b588fa64…	(orphan) Wiedereinsetzungsantrag (DPMA)	2 months	DE.PatG.123.2	§ 123 PatG	HIGH

Naming note on the two Wiedereinsetzung-§ 123 PatG rows. Both c24d494c… ("§ 123 PatG" name) and b588fa64… ("DPMA" name) map to the same statute — § 123 PatG (Wiedereinsetzung) applies to all DPMA-Verfahren, so the duplication is a pure naming choice. mig 097 fills both; potential dedup is a separate question (§ 4 FLAG-A).

2. Proceeding-typed rows (53)

Grouped by proceeding_types.code. Within each group: alphabetical by code.

2.1 upc.inf.cfi — Verletzungsverfahren CFI (4 rules)

code	name	duration	event_type	proposed rule_code	proposed legal_source	source-of-truth	conf
inf.decision	Entscheidung	event	decision	(NULL)	(NULL)	RoP.118 — but this is the court's own decision, not a party deadline	FLAG-B
inf.interim	Zwischenverfahren	event	hearing	(NULL)	(NULL)	RoP.101 ff. governs interim procedure; not a single norm	FLAG-B
inf.oral	Mündliche Verhandlung	event	hearing	(NULL)	(NULL)	RoP.111-117 (oral procedure); court-scheduled	FLAG-B
inf.soc	Klageerhebung (Statement of claim)	event	filing	RoP.013.1	UPC.RoP.13.1	RoP.13 — Statement of claim contents	HIGH

2.2 upc.rev.cfi — Nichtigkeitsverfahren CFI (6 rules)

code	name	duration	event_type	proposed rule_code	proposed legal_source	source-of-truth	conf

rev.reply	Replik	2 months	filing	RoP.052	UPC.RoP.52	RoP.52 — Reply to defence in revocation	MED (FLAG-C: duration vs. norm)
rev.rejoin	Duplik	2 months	filing	RoP.052	UPC.RoP.52	RoP.52 — Rejoinder	MED (FLAG-C: duration vs. norm)

FLAG-C: RoP.52(1) sets the reply to 2 months but RoP.52(2) sets the rejoinder to 1 month from service of the reply. m's rev.rejoin says 2 months — verify whether the rule duration is correct or whether RoP.52.2 (1 month) is the right citation. Cross-check with the existing rev.rejoin_cci row which uses RoP.056.4 (cci context); the main-pleadings rejoinder lives in RoP.52.

2.5 upc.apl.order — Berufungsverfahren Anordnungen (1 rule)

code	name	duration	event_type	proposed rule_code	proposed legal_source	source-of-truth	conf

3. Orphan rows — proceeding_type_id IS NULL and code IS NULL (77)

Identified by id (UUID first 8 chars) + name. These are the older Fristenrechner catalogue rows that pre-date the proceeding-typed slice and were never re-anchored to a proceeding. Many are 1:1 duplicates of rules that now live in proceeding-typed form.

4. FLAG summary — items needing m's call

FLAG	Topic	Count	Decision needed
A	Genuine duplicate orphan rows (same name + dur + citation)	~10	Confirm the dedup pass should happen in mig 097 (or a follow-up). Recommended: leave duplicates in place for mig 097 (fills all of them with the same citation); dedup separately so the rule-resolution semantics don't drift.
B	Court-scheduled / court-issued event rows (Mündliche Verhandlung, Urteil, Entscheidung)	~22	Confirm NULL is the right default. Alternative: cite the framing norm with a "context" note.
C	UPC RoP duration vs. norm mismatch (rev.reply / rev.rejoin / app.response)	3	Verify the rule durations are correct as stored — proposed citations are canonical but rule duration may be from an older RoP version.
D	German LG patent practice: 4-week replik/duplik (court-set)	2	Confirm § 273 ZPO is the cite m wants (no statutory period, framing norm only).
E	Service / trigger-event citations (§ 317 ZPO, R. 111 EPÜ etc.)	6	These are anchor-events for downstream timers, not deadlines. Confirm whether to cite (current proposal) or leave NULL.
F	Combined-pleading orphan rows (one row = several norms)	5	Confirm one citation is acceptable, or whether the rows should be split before mig 097 (out of scope here).
G	Twin "Antrag auf Patentänderung" orphans (2-mo, identical name)	2	Confirm one is infringement-context (RoP.30.1), the other revocation-context (RoP.49.2.a).
H	RoP sub-paragraph uncertainty (current text vs. older version)	~8	Spot-check against current published RoP; my citations are canonical but small .x numbers may need a tweak.
I	Negative-declaration track (no single UPC norm)	3	Confirm citing RoP.69 (procedure-by-analogy) vs. leaving NULL.
J	Orphan with unclear scope	3	d124c95b… (Aufhebung Entscheidung des Amtes), 002c2ba7… (Folgemaßnahmen Validitätsentscheidung), 902cc5d5… (Klärung Übersetzungsfragen). m to identify which UPC norm.

5. Side-fix (recommend bundled in mig 097)

RoP-display normalization: rev.defence currently carries rule_code = "RoP.49.1". All other RoP rules under 100 use 3-digit padding (RoP.029.a, RoP.049.2.a etc.). mig 097 should normalize RoP.49.1 → RoP.049.1 in that one row, while filling the 130 NULL rows with consistently padded values.

-- side-fix candidate
UPDATE paliad.deadline_rules
   SET rule_code = 'RoP.049.1'
 WHERE rule_code = 'RoP.49.1'
   AND code      = 'rev.defence';   -- only one row; idempotent

This is opt-in; m to confirm before mig 097 ships.

---

6. Migration 097 hints (for the coder who writes it)

Shape m has asked for:

• UPDATE paliad.deadline_rules SET rule_code = …, legal_source = … WHERE id = … AND rule_code IS NULL AND legal_source IS [NULL|expected];
• Idempotent: WHERE rule_code IS NULL (or IS DISTINCT FROM) guard so re-applying is a no-op.
• Backup snapshot: CREATE TABLE paliad.deadline_rules_pre_097 AS SELECT * FROM paliad.deadline_rules before any UPDATEs.
• Wrap in audit_reason = 't-paliad-208 legal-citation backfill' (matches paliad.audit_log pattern used elsewhere).
• Touch only the m-approved rows from § 1, § 2, § 3 — FLAG rows (those with *(NULL)* in the proposed columns) stay untouched until m resolves them.
• Side-fix § 5 (RoP.49.1 → RoP.049.1) only if m confirms.

Counts the migration should match (assuming m approves all HIGH proposals as-is):

• Easy wins (§ 1): 8 rule_code UPDATEs (legal_source already set)
• Proceeding-typed HIGH/MED proposals (§ 2): ~25 rows
• Orphan HIGH/MED proposals (§ 3): ~50 rows
• Total expected rule_code writes: ~83 rows
• Total expected legal_source writes: ~75 rows (8 of the easy wins already have one)
• FLAG rows left NULL: ~47 rows pending m's decisions

7. Open questions for m

1. NULL for event-markers (FLAG-B): confirm NULL is correct for the 22 court-scheduled / court-issued event rows. If m wants citations there too, I'll do a second pass.
2. Trigger-event citations (FLAG-E): apply § 317 ZPO to LG/OLG service rows, or leave NULL?
3. Duplicates (FLAG-A): mig 097 fills duplicates with the same citation; do you want a separate dedup pass scheduled (filing t-paliad-21x) or is the duplicate count acceptable for now?
4. Combined-pleading orphans (FLAG-F): keep one citation per row, or split each row into N rows before mig 097?
5. Negative-declaration track (FLAG-I): cite RoP.69 by analogy, or leave NULL?
6. Side-fix (§ 5): normalize the one RoP.49.1 outlier as part of mig 097?

Once m answers, head can re-task this same worker (or a fresh coder) to write mig 097 against the approved proposals.
