- bill_notes table (migration 0014): user_id, bill_id, content, pinned,
created_at, updated_at; unique constraint (user_id, bill_id)
- BillNote SQLAlchemy model with back-refs on User and Bill
- GET/PUT/DELETE /api/notes/{bill_id} — auth-required, one note per (user, bill)
- NotesPanel component: collapsible, auto-resize textarea, pin toggle,
save + delete; shows last-saved date and pin indicator in collapsed header
- Pinned notes render above BriefPanel; unpinned render below DraftLetterPanel
- Guests see nothing (token guard in component + query disabled)

Weekly Digest (send_weekly_digest Celery task):
- Runs every Monday 8:30 AM UTC via beat schedule
- Queries all followed bills updated in the past 7 days per user
- Sends low-priority ntfy push (Priority: low, Tags: newspaper,calendar)
- Creates a NotificationEvent (weekly_digest type) for RSS feed visibility
- Admin can trigger immediately via POST /api/admin/trigger-weekly-digest
- Manual Controls panel now includes "Send Weekly Digest" button
Local-time quiet hours:
- Browser auto-detects IANA timezone via Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone
- Timezone saved to notification_prefs alongside quiet_hours_start/end on Save
- Dispatcher converts UTC → user's local time (zoneinfo stdlib) before hour comparison
- Falls back to UTC if timezone absent or unrecognised
- Quiet hours UI: 12-hour AM/PM selectors, shows detected timezone as hint
- Clearing quiet hours also clears stored timezone

Notifications:
- New /notifications page accessible to all users (ntfy + RSS config)
- ntfy now supports no-auth, Bearer token, and HTTP Basic auth (for ACL-protected self-hosted servers)
- RSS enabled/disabled independently of ntfy; token auto-generated on first GET
- Notification settings removed from admin-only Settings page; replaced with link card
- Sidebar adds Notifications nav link for all users
- notification_dispatcher.py: fan-out now marks RSS events dispatched independently
Action history:
- Migration 0012: deduplicates existing bill_actions rows and adds UNIQUE(bill_id, action_date, action_text)
- congress_poller.py: replaces existence-check inserts with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING (race-condition safe)
- Added backfill_all_bill_actions task (no date filter) + admin endpoint POST /backfill-all-actions

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
