build_corpus · 19 steps

Load the pinned corpus (opinions, courts, judges, statutes, citation graph) and firm layer (clients, matters, arguments, issues). Matters load unowned; onboarding assigns matter_owned_by_actor after actors are minted.

refresh_corpus · 1 steps

Act two / the maintenance loop: load the bundled corpus update fixture and return corpus rows for review. Apply through sync_corpus_update; then run the treatment and impact proposal chain to see the law change propagate. For fresh opinions, acquire outside the workflow boundary (scripts/fetch_courtlistener.py, then register the opinion texts as source artifacts) and feed the reviewed JSON to sync_corpus_update.

sync_corpus_update · 8 steps

Apply reviewed corpus rows (from refresh_corpus) as opinions, courts, judges, and citation edges. Opinion texts arriving with the update are pinned as source artifacts in the same apply, so treatment evidence dereferences without a separate CLI registration pass.

ingest_docket · 6 steps

Load filings and deadlines from the docket feed and attach them to matters.

ingest_case_outcomes · 5 steps

Load resolved case outcomes and attach them to matters and arguments.

refresh_stale_deadlines · 6 steps

Close deadlines that lapsed or whose matter closed. Work items are NOT auto-closed: base WorkItems close only through the review gate.

analyze_opinions_for_holdings · 2 steps

Run the holding extractor over the corpus and return candidate rows for the apply + propose pair.

apply_candidate_holdings · 2 steps

Apply extractor candidates as inert Holding entities; the governed edge proposal makes them meaningful.

propose_holdings_from_opinion · 3 steps

Propose the governed opinion_has_holding edges from the same extractor payload.

propose_statute_interpretations · 7 steps

Propose statute interpretation links for applied holdings.

propose_holding_issue_links · 8 steps

Map applied holdings to firm-tracked legal issues.

propose_opinion_treatment · 6 steps

Classify how corpus opinions treat cited authorities (the citator loop).

propose_argument_support · 8 steps

Propose holdings that support firm arguments.

propose_argument_risk · 8 steps

Propose holdings that undermine or create risk for firm arguments.

propose_matter_statutory_scope · 6 steps

Propose statutory and doctrinal scope for tracked matters.

propose_matter_impact · 15 steps

Assess whether corpus opinions affect active firm matters.

propose_filing_response · 10 steps

Classify filing response obligations and deadlines for tracked matters.

analyze_review_work · 7 steps

Suggest review-obligation work items from accepted matter impacts and negative treatments.

apply_review_work_items · 3 steps

Apply suggested review obligations as base WorkItems (planned, unowned). They enter the operating layer's own queues and close through its review gate; the governed seam proposals attach them to opinions and matters.

propose_opinion_work_links · 3 steps

Propose the governed opinion-to-work-item obligation edges from the router payload.
