Context

PDFs are saved to a local patents/ directory. In a containerized deployment, this directory disappears on pod restart unless a persistent volume is explicitly mounted. This is currently undocumented and easy to miss.

Roadmap reference: ROADMAP.md > P2 > Backend > Patent PDF storage

What to do

Short term (required for this issue):

  1. Add a comment in docker-compose.yml with a named volume for the patents/ directory and instructions for configuring it.
  2. Add a section to README.md or docs/configuration.md explaining the volume requirement and what happens when it is missing.

Investigation (document findings, no implementation required):
3. Evaluate whether S3/MinIO integration would be a worthwhile future improvement. Capture the recommendation as a comment on this issue or a brief section in the docs.

Acceptance criteria

  • docker-compose.yml includes a volume definition or clear comment for the patents/ directory.
  • README documents the persistent storage requirement.
  • A recommendation on object storage (even if "not needed yet") is noted.
