When a bill page opens with no stored articles, the backend queues a
fetch_news_for_bill Celery task and returns immediately. Added a retry
loop (up to 3x, 6 s apart) driven off newsArticles state so articles
populate without a manual refresh. Fixed broken useEffect dependency
([billId] → [newsArticles]) that caused the timer to never fire.
News is now fetched via a separate useBillNews query (staleTime: 0)
independent of the cached bill detail response.

Backend:
- Add fetch_bill_actions task with pagination and idempotent upsert
- Add fetch_actions_for_active_bills nightly batch (4 AM UTC beat schedule)
- Wire fetch_bill_actions into new-bill creation and _update_bill_if_changed
- Add backfill_brief_citations task: detects pre-citation briefs by JSONB
type check, deletes them, re-queues LLM processing against stored text
(LLM calls only — zero Congress.gov or GovInfo calls)
- Add admin endpoints: POST /bills/{id}/reprocess, /backfill-citations,
/trigger-fetch-actions; add uncited_briefs count to /stats
Frontend:
- New BriefPanel component: wraps AIBriefCard, adds amber "What Changed"
badge for amendment briefs and collapsible version history with
inline brief expansion
- Swap AIBriefCard for BriefPanel on bill detail page
- Admin panel: Backfill Citations + Fetch Bill Actions buttons; amber
warning in stats when uncited briefs remain
- Add feature roadmap document with phased plan through Phase 5
