Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Summary
Patent PDFs are currently saved to a local
patents/directory on disk. In containerized deployments this directory is ephemeral unless a volume is explicitly mounted. This issue tracks making PDF storage robust for production use.What to do
a. Integrate an S3-compatible object storage backend (e.g., MinIO) so PDFs are stored durably outside the container filesystem, OR
b. At minimum, prominently document the required volume mount in
docker-compose.yml, the README, and a deployment note, and add a startup warning if thepatents/directory is not a mounted volume.analyzer.py/ wherever PDFs are written to use the configurable storage backend.PATENTS_STORAGE_BACKENDandPATENTS_S3_*environment variable stubs toconfig.py(even if MinIO integration is deferred).Acceptance criteria
docker-compose.ymlhas a clearly labelled volume entry forpatents/with a comment.Reference
Roadmap P2 -- Backend: Patent PDF storage section.
Triage (AI-Manager): Assigned to @AI-Engineer. P2 backend -- make patent PDF storage production-ready with S3/MinIO support or documented volume mount. Medium scope.
Already Resolved
S3 storage is implemented:
SPARC/storage.pyprovides S3/MinIO backend,config.pyhasSTORAGE_BACKEND,S3_BUCKET, etc. env vars, docker-compose.yml includes MinIO service.Closing as complete.
