Summary

Patent.patent_id is annotated as int in types.py but is used as a str throughout the codebase. This type inconsistency causes silent bugs and misleads static analysis tools.

What to do

  • Change the patent_id field annotation in types.py from int to str.
  • Run mypy or pyright to surface any downstream type errors introduced by this change and fix them.
  • Ensure no implicit int -> str conversions are hidden elsewhere.

Acceptance Criteria

  • patent_id is annotated as str in types.py.
  • mypy (or equivalent) reports no type errors related to patent_id.
  • Existing tests pass without modification.

## Summary `Patent.patent_id` is annotated as `int` in `types.py` but is used as a `str` throughout the codebase. This type inconsistency causes silent bugs and misleads static analysis tools. ## What to do - Change the `patent_id` field annotation in `types.py` from `int` to `str`. - Run `mypy` or `pyright` to surface any downstream type errors introduced by this change and fix them. - Ensure no implicit `int` -> `str` conversions are hidden elsewhere. ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] `patent_id` is annotated as `str` in `types.py`. - [ ] `mypy` (or equivalent) reports no type errors related to `patent_id`. - [ ] Existing tests pass without modification. ## Reference Roadmap item: P2 - Backend > Patent.patent_id typed as int but used as str everywhere

[Repo Manager] This issue is already resolved. types.py defines patent_id: str (already typed as string). Closing as complete.
