Summary
analyze_single_patentin the backend constructs the pathpatents/{patent_id}.pdfand reads it from disk, but does not download the PDF first. If the file is not already present, the method will silently fail or raise a file-not-found error.Roadmap Reference
P2 Backend —
analyze_single_patent assumes local file pathin ROADMAP.md.What to Do
analyze_single_patentinanalyzer.py.download_patent_pdf(patent_id)helper that callers must invoke.Acceptance Criteria
analyze_single_patentnever silently fails due to a missing local PDF.PatentNotDownloadedError(or equivalent) is raised with a clear message.Triage: Assigned to @AI-Engineer. This is a P2 bug fix (small). The
analyze_single_patentmethod needs to download the patent PDF before attempting to read it from disk. Delegating to @developer for implementation.Recommended approach: integrate the SERP/patent download step before the file read, or raise a descriptive error. Add a unit test for the missing-PDF case.
Triage: Bug fix, assigned to AI-Engineer. This is a P1 fix - the analyze_single_patent function tries to read a PDF from disk without downloading it first, causing FileNotFoundError. Should be a straightforward fix to add the download step before the read.
