tocmo0nlord 0d53967422 Initial commit — Step 1 complete: case spine, lifecycle, attorney gates
Delivers the validated Step 1 slice of the Active Blue Family Law platform
(Odoo 18 Community module `activeblue_familylaw`):
- familylaw.case model: identity, team, representation flag, conflict_check_cleared gate
- Full lifecycle state machine (intake→engaged→disclosure→discovery→mediation→hearing→closed)
- Attorney-only guards enforced in Python + view groups=
- Security groups (Family Law/Staff, Family Law/Attorney), model access rules
- List, form, and search views (Odoo 18 <list> syntax; no attrs=/states=)
- Family Law app menu with Configuration placeholder
- 10 tagged unit tests (familylaw_step1): transitions, conflict gate, attorney-only, audit
- CLAUDE.md, BUILD_PLAN.md, START_HERE.md: full design brief and step contract

Step 2 (parties, children, issues, proceeding model, conflict screening,
intake questionnaire) is the next build target.

START HERE — Claude Code kickoff

You are picking up an in-progress build. Read in this order, then start the task at the bottom. Do not re-derive the design — it exists; follow it.

Read order (do this first)

  1. CLAUDE.md — the operational brief and single source of truth. Read it fully. Pay special attention to:
    • §1 — the governing rule + the two gates + Claude's role as the quality-elevation layer.
    • §2 — the 15 capabilities, grouped by RISK (what's safe now vs. attorney-gated).
    • §4 — locked decisions (apply them; do not re-litigate).
    • §5 — the verifiable-step method + the test harness rules.
    • §8 — STEP 2, your immediate task.
    • §10 — the audit fixes already applied (esp. fix 2, the familylaw.proceeding model).
    • §11 — the non-code success gaps (context for why some steps are gated).
  2. BUILD_PLAN.md — the step contract and the run/test commands.
  3. The design docs 0011 (in the separate design package) — why/detail behind each step. Read the relevant doc(s) before each step, not all at once. For Step 2: docs 02 (domain) and 03 (data model).

Current state

  • Step 1 is DONE and validatedactiveblue_familylaw module: the familylaw.case spine, the lifecycle state machine, attorney-only gates, security groups, views, and 10 passing tests (tag familylaw_step1). Module layout is in CLAUDE.md §6.
  • The code is Odoo 18 (uses <list> not <tree>; direct attributes, no attrs/states).
  • Nothing else is built yet. Steps 214 are designed, not implemented.

Hard rules (from CLAUDE.md — do not violate)

  • One verifiable step at a time. Don't scaffold ahead. Each step = installable code
    • a UI walkthrough + tagged unit tests + a done-when. Get green before advancing.
  • The two gates are sacred: no code path lets AI output be filed/sent/signed without attorney approval, or lets an unverified citation into a filing. If a request would breach this, flag it — don't build it.
  • Mock all external APIs in tests (Claude, DocuSeal, CourtListener). Never hit the network from a test. Test date math with fixed dates.
  • No outcome/success-percentage prediction. The decision graph compares strength of support, never a "% chance of winning" (CLAUDE.md §2 EXCLUDED).
  • Tier 3 (capabilities 89, Steps 679) is gated behind licensed-attorney validation of the legal logic. You may build the structure/scaffolding but flag that the legal content is unvalidated; do not present legal reasoning as authoritative.

Your first task: STEP 2

Build exactly what CLAUDE.md §8 specifies:

  • Models: familylaw.party, familylaw.child, familylaw.issue, familylaw.proceeding.
  • Add indexed, searchable case_number to familylaw.case; open an initial proceeding on case creation.
  • Automated conflict screening — a local DB search over familylaw.party across all cases that surfaces potential conflicts for the attorney to clear (never auto-clears, never auto-blocks; the Step 1 conflict_check_cleared attorney gate remains).
  • Extend case search to find by party name, child name, and case_number.
  • Intake questionnaire (native models; creates a draft case): triage-first with the urgency screen, conditional strictness (standard = strict; emergency = fast-path on minimum facts), branching into the child-support modification question set, runs conflict screening on completion. Captures facts only — never answers "do I have a good case?" (logs it as an attorney question).
  • Tests tagged familylaw_step2 covering everything in §8's test list.
  • Done-when: familylaw_step2 green + the four-part walkthrough in §8.

Work in the module, keep Step 1's tests green, and deliver Step 2 as one reviewable, tested slice. Then stop and report before starting Step 3.
