Summary

PDFs are currently saved to a local patents/ directory within the container. In containerized or multi-replica deployments this directory is ephemeral, meaning PDFs are lost on container restart and cannot be shared across replicas.

What to do

Option A (minimum): Add a prominent note in README.md and docker-compose.yml that a named volume must be mounted at /app/patents/ for patent PDFs to persist across restarts. Show an example volume definition in the compose file.

Option B (recommended): Introduce an object storage abstraction (S3/MinIO) behind an environment variable PDF_STORAGE_BACKEND (local | s3). When set to s3, use boto3 to upload/download PDFs from the configured bucket instead of reading from disk.

Acceptance criteria

  • Either a documented volume mount (Option A) or an S3/MinIO storage backend (Option B) is implemented
  • docker-compose.yml or README.md clearly explains persistent PDF storage requirements
  • Existing analyze_single_patent continues to work correctly with the chosen approach
  • No regression in the local development workflow
