v4.79.0 — The assistant cites legal sources 

Four fixes, none of them a new module. The first two belong to the same family: features that were complete and went unnoticed, because what they produced never reached the screen. 

• The assistant had the theses in front of it and didn’t cite them When you ask about case law or legislation, the system queries a legal knowledge base with verified official sources. That query worked and took less than a second… but its results reached the assistant without being anchored to any citable source. Not a single thesis appeared in the answer’s sources panel. The consequence wasn’t cosmetic. Having nothing cited from the corpus, the answer relied on the only thing that was cited —what had been searched on the internet—, and that produced citations that mixed the key of one thesis with the registry number of another. In the corpus records the two travel together; in an internet summary, they don’t. Now theses and laws appear in the sources panel, with their key, and can be checked one by one.
• And those questions are answered in seconds, not minutes The legal base was queried after deciding to go search the internet. So a question that the official sources answered in a second carried several minutes of web search on top — and on top of that ended up built from the worst material. Now the verified base is asked first, and if it already answers, the system doesn’t go looking for the same thing outside. Measured on a real case-law question: from almost six minutes to just over twenty seconds.
• A state-level firm now also sees federal legislation You had to choose. An instance configured for a state saw only that state’s legislation and lost all federal case law and legislation — which is exactly what’s cited most in a state matter. And one configured at the country level couldn’t reach any state collection. Now the query goes up the hierarchy: state, federal and whatever applies in any jurisdiction. Not the other way around, on purpose: whoever didn’t choose a state doesn’t get the legislation of all thirty-two, which would only make every question slower without bringing them anything of their own.
• Composing a document no longer comes out half-done A document generated from a structured template could come out with empty sections. What made it hard to detect is that the gap was filled with the same notice the system uses when it decides not to make things up for lack of material: a broken document read like a correct document that was missing data, and so nobody went to check it. Now the section is retried with more room, and the technical failure has its own mark, distinct from the professional-review notice. Along the way, that screen’s project selector —which always came up empty because it asked for a status no real project has— now lists ongoing matters.
• And a one-liner A ticket’s record said “Client: None None” for any company.
• When updating There are no migrations and nothing gets turned on. There are no new settings or data to seed. The changes are noticeable when you ask the assistant about a thesis or a law, and when you compose a document from a template.
