Context

Roadmap item: P2 - Backend: analyze_single_patent assumes local file path

analyze_single_patent constructs patents/{patent_id}.pdf and reads from disk, but never downloads the file first. This silently fails for any patent not already present locally.

Task

  • Determine whether the PDF download step lives elsewhere (e.g., in a separate method or in the batch flow)
  • Either integrate the download call at the start of analyze_single_patent (check if file exists, download if not), OR raise a clear error with a helpful message if the file is missing
  • Add a test for the case where the PDF is absent

Acceptance Criteria

  • Calling analyze_single_patent on a patent not yet downloaded either downloads it automatically or raises a descriptive FileNotFoundError/ValueError
  • Existing tests for the happy path continue to pass

Resolved: analyze_single_patent now checks if the PDF exists on disk and auto-downloads it from the cached link before proceeding. Merged via PR #55.

Closing as resolved -- the implementation is merged into main.
