Summary

Patent.patent_id is annotated as int in types.py but treated as str throughout the codebase. This type mismatch causes subtle runtime bugs and confuses static analysis.

What to do

  • Change the patent_id field annotation in types.py from int to str.
  • Run mypy or pyright to verify no new type errors are introduced.
  • Ensure any caller that relied on integer comparison with patent_id is updated.

Acceptance criteria

  • Patent.patent_id is typed as str in types.py.
  • No existing code converts patent_id to/from int unnecessarily.
  • All tests pass after the change.

Triage: RESOLVED

This issue has been fully implemented in the fork main branch.

Evidence:

  • types.py line 7: patent_id: str -- correctly typed as str, not int.
  • The entire codebase treats patent_id as a string consistently.

All acceptance criteria are met. Recommending closure.
