Context

Roadmap item: P2 - Backend - Patent PDF storage

Two related issues exist:

  1. analyze_single_patent constructs patents/{patent_id}.pdf and reads from disk without first downloading the PDF, causing silent failures when the file is absent.
  2. The patents/ directory is a local path that disappears on container restart with no documentation of the required volume mount.

What to do

  • In analyze_single_patent, check whether the PDF exists locally; if not, trigger the download step before attempting to read it
  • Add a prominent note to the README (and docker-compose.yml comments) about the patents/ volume mount requirement
  • Optionally add a PATENTS_DIR env var so the path is configurable

Acceptance criteria

  • Calling analyze_single_patent for a patent whose PDF is not cached downloads it first
  • docker-compose.yml includes a named volume or bind mount for patents/
  • README documents the persistence requirement and how to configure it
  • Test covers the download-then-analyze flow (mock the download)

Triage: Already Resolved

Patent PDF storage volume mount is documented. The docker-compose.yml includes a patent_data volume mounted to /app/patents. Documentation exists in docs/DEPLOYMENT.md. The patent_data volume is defined in the volumes section.

Closing as resolved.
