Context

Roadmap reference: P2 Backend -- analyze_single_patent assumes local file path

Problem

analyze_single_patent constructs the path patents/{patent_id}.pdf and reads from disk, but it does not download the PDF first. If the file is not already present the call silently fails or raises a file-not-found error with no useful message to the caller.

This means the method can only be used successfully after a separate download step that is nowhere enforced or documented.

Acceptance Criteria

  • analyze_single_patent checks whether patents/{patent_id}.pdf exists before attempting to read it.
  • If the file is absent, the method either: (a) triggers the download automatically before proceeding, or (b) raises a clear, descriptive exception explaining that the PDF must be downloaded first.
  • The chosen behaviour is covered by at least one unit test.
  • No existing tests are broken.
