- Add DraftLetterPanel: collapsible UI below BriefPanel for bills with a
brief; lets users select up to 3 cited points, pick stance/tone, and
generate a plain-text letter via the configured LLM provider
- Stance pre-fills from follow mode (pocket_boost → YES, pocket_veto → NO)
and clears when the user unfollows; recipient derived from bill chamber
- Add POST /api/bills/{bill_id}/draft-letter endpoint with proper LLM
provider/model resolution from AppSetting (respects Settings page choice)
- Add generate_text() to LLMProvider ABC and all four providers
- Expose has_document on BillSchema (list endpoint) via a single batch
query; BillCard shows Brief / Pending / No text indicator per bill

- Add chamberBadgeColor util: amber/gold for Senate, slate/silver for House
- Apply chamber badge to BillCard and bill detail header
- ActionTimeline: show latest_action_date/text as fallback when full history
not yet fetched, with note that full history loads in background
- Manual Controls: poll task status every 5s after triggering, show spinning
indicator while running, task ID prefix, and completion/failure state

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

LLM prompts updated to output {text, citation, quote} objects for every
key_point and risk. govinfo_url stored on BillBrief (migration 0006) so
the frontend can link directly to the source document without an extra
query. AIBriefCard renders § citation chips that expand inline to show
the verbatim quote and a View source → GovInfo link. Old plain-string
briefs continue to render unchanged.
