Context

Patent.patent_id is annotated as int in types.py but patent IDs are used as strings everywhere else in the codebase. This causes misleading type errors and can cause subtle bugs when IDs are passed across the int/str boundary.

Roadmap reference: ROADMAP.md > P2 > Backend > Patent.patent_id typed as int but used as str everywhere

What to do

  1. Change the patent_id field annotation in types.py from int to str.
  2. Search for any explicit int() casts or comparisons relying on patent_id being an integer and update them.
  3. Run mypy or pyright (or at minimum ruff) to confirm no new type errors are introduced.

Acceptance criteria

  • Patent.patent_id is annotated as str in types.py.
  • No int() cast of patent_id remains unless intentional and documented.
  • Existing tests pass without modification.
