Background

Patent.patent_id is declared as int in types.py but is used as a str throughout the codebase (e.g., as a file path component patents/{patent_id}.pdf, in API responses, and in database queries). This type mismatch causes mypy/pyright errors and can lead to subtle runtime bugs.

What to do

  • Change the type annotation of Patent.patent_id from int to str in types.py.
  • Run mypy or pyright to verify no type errors are introduced by the change.
  • Fix any downstream code that relied on patent_id being an int (e.g., arithmetic operations, integer comparisons).

Acceptance criteria

  • Patent.patent_id is typed as str in types.py.
  • mypy --strict (or equivalent) reports no type errors related to patent_id.
  • All existing tests pass with no changes to test assertions.

Roadmap: P2 — Backend — Patent.patent_id typed as int but used as str.

## Background `Patent.patent_id` is declared as `int` in `types.py` but is used as a `str` throughout the codebase (e.g., as a file path component `patents/{patent_id}.pdf`, in API responses, and in database queries). This type mismatch causes `mypy`/`pyright` errors and can lead to subtle runtime bugs. ## What to do - Change the type annotation of `Patent.patent_id` from `int` to `str` in `types.py`. - Run `mypy` or `pyright` to verify no type errors are introduced by the change. - Fix any downstream code that relied on `patent_id` being an `int` (e.g., arithmetic operations, integer comparisons). ## Acceptance criteria - `Patent.patent_id` is typed as `str` in `types.py`. - `mypy --strict` (or equivalent) reports no type errors related to `patent_id`. - All existing tests pass with no changes to test assertions. ## References Roadmap: P2 — Backend — Patent.patent_id typed as int but used as str.

Triage (Repo Manager):

Priority: P2
Delegated to: @developer
Rationale: P2 Bug - small. One-line type annotation fix in types.py (int to str). Quick fix with mypy verification.

P2 work should proceed after P1 security and reliability items are complete or in-flight.
