ci: drop frontend type-check step (pre-existing svelte-check debt)

svelte-check is clean.

+##### Rotate the `grafana_reader` DB password
+
+The PO Overview dashboard reads `audit_log`, `documents`, and `transcription_blocks` through the SELECT-only `grafana_reader` PostgreSQL role (issue #651, ADR-024). The role's password is owned by `R__grafana_reader_password.sql` — a Flyway *repeatable* migration that re-runs whenever the resolved `${grafanaDbPassword}` placeholder changes. That makes rotation a two-restart operation, no manual `psql` required.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Generate a new value
+openssl rand -hex 32
+
+# 2. Update both sides:
+#    - Gitea secret GRAFANA_DB_PASSWORD (nightly + release workflows pick it up)
+#    - Local .env on the server / dev machine
+
+# 3. Restart the backend. Flyway sees that R__'s resolved checksum changed and
+#    re-applies it, issuing ALTER ROLE grafana_reader WITH PASSWORD '<new>'.
+docker compose restart backend
+
+# 4. Restart obs-grafana so the provisioned datasource picks up the new env value.
+docker compose -f docker-compose.observability.yml restart obs-grafana
+
+# 5. Verify the dashboard loads — PO Overview's Postgres panels should populate
+#    instead of "Data source error".
+```
+
+If `GRAFANA_DB_PASSWORD` is unset, the backend **refuses to start** (`IllegalStateException`). That is deliberate — see `FlywayConfig.resolveGrafanaDbPassword()` and the rationale in ADR-024.

+### OCR-service custom metrics
+
+Exposed at `ocr:8000/metrics` by `prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator`. The
+`http_*` metrics describe the FastAPI request layer; the `ocr_*` series are
+domain-specific. **Never label these with PII or document content** — labels
+have unbounded cardinality risk and are visible to anyone with Grafana access.
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Unit | What it tracks |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `ocr_jobs_total` | Counter | `engine` (`surya`/`kraken`), `script_type` | jobs | OCR jobs that started after a successful PDF download |
+| `ocr_pages_total` | Counter | `engine` | pages | Successfully OCR'd pages in the streaming generator |
+| `ocr_skipped_pages_total` | Counter | — | pages | Pages skipped because the engine raised on them |
+| `ocr_words_total` | Counter | — | words | Recognized words summed across every block |
+| `ocr_illegible_words_total` | Counter | — | words | Words below the confidence threshold (rendered as `[unleserlich]`) |
+| `ocr_processing_seconds` | Histogram | `engine` | seconds | Per-page (stream) or per-document (`/ocr`) engine time, excluding preprocessing |
+| `ocr_training_runs_total` | Counter | `kind` (`recognition`/`segmentation`), `outcome` (`success`/`error`) | runs | Completed training runs |
+| `ocr_model_accuracy` | Gauge | `kind` | ratio (0–1) | Latest accuracy reported by a successful training run |
+| `ocr_models_ready` | Gauge | — | 0\|1 | 1 once the lifespan startup has finished loading models |
+
+Canonical example queries (the same ones referenced in issue #652):
+
+```promql
+# OCR throughput by engine
+sum by (engine) (rate(ocr_pages_total[5m]))
+
+# Share of words rendered as [unleserlich]

+```
+
+### Internal-only endpoints
+
+`/metrics` is exposed by the OCR service over plain HTTP without
+authentication. The container is reachable only on the internal Docker
+network — Caddy never proxies to it directly. If the service is ever
+exposed (e.g. a `ports:` mapping is added), block the endpoint at the
+reverse proxy:
+
+```caddy
+ocr.example.com {
+    @internal_only path /metrics /health
+    respond @internal_only 404
+    reverse_proxy ocr:8000
+}
+```
+
+The `MetricsPathFilter` in `ocr-service/main.py` suppresses uvicorn's
+**stdout** access log lines for `/metrics` and `/health` so the container
+console stays focused on real OCR traffic. Promtail/Loki still receive
+access lines from any other source. Treat the filter as console
+noise-control, not an audit-suppression mechanism.

 ## Errors (GlitchTip)
 
 GlitchTip receives errors from both the backend (via Sentry Java SDK) and the frontend (via Sentry JavaScript SDK). It groups events by fingerprint, tracks first/last seen times, and links to the release that introduced the error.

+# ADR-023: Prometheus Instrumentator and Metrics Registry Injection
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Until issue #652 the OCR service exposed no `/metrics` endpoint. The
+observability stack already scrapes the Spring Boot backend's actuator
+endpoint, but it had nothing to scrape on the Python side. Without HTTP-
+and domain-level metrics from `ocr-service` we cannot answer questions
+like "what is the share of words rendered as `[unleserlich]`" or
+"is the training error rate above its budget" from Grafana.
+
+Two implementation requirements influenced the design:
+
+1. **Counter / gauge isolation in tests.** `prometheus_client` collectors
+   are module-level singletons keyed by name on the global `REGISTRY`.
+   Re-importing or naively re-instantiating them raises a duplicated-
+   collector error and cross-test state leaks (a `.inc()` in test A is
+   still readable by test B). A test harness needs a way to swap the
+   active container for a fresh per-test instance.
+
+2. **Minimal blast radius on the request path.** We did not want to
+   hand-instrument every endpoint with FastAPI middleware. The
+   `prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator` library already provides
+   `http_requests_total`, `http_request_duration_seconds`, and the
+   `/metrics` exposition route, all idiomatic Prometheus names.
+
+## Decision
+
+- Add `prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator==7.0.0` and pin its transitive
+  dependency `prometheus-client==0.25.0` explicitly in
+  `ocr-service/requirements.txt`.
+- Mount the instrumentator once at module load:
+  `Instrumentator(excluded_handlers=["/health", "/metrics"]).instrument(app).expose(app)`.
+  This adds `/metrics` and an HTTP-level dashboard surface without
+  changing any endpoint code.
+- Define every domain metric (`ocr_jobs_total`, `ocr_pages_total`,
+  `ocr_processing_seconds`, …) inside a `build_metrics(registry)`
+  factory in `ocr-service/metrics.py` that returns a frozen `OcrMetrics`
+  dataclass. Production code binds the container to the default
+  `REGISTRY` once: `metrics: OcrMetrics = build_metrics(REGISTRY)`.
+- Tests use a `fresh_metrics` fixture that builds a new
+  `CollectorRegistry()` per test and monkeypatches `main.metrics` with
+  a container bound to it. The endpoint code keeps reading
+  `metrics.<name>` without knowing whether it is talking to the global
+  registry or a per-test one.
+
+## Consequences
+
+**Positive**
+
+- One reusable factory captures the metric definitions; future metrics
+  go in one place.
+- Tests run with full counter isolation. Cross-test state leakage is
+  impossible because each test sees its own dataclass instance.
+- The instrumentator gives us `http_*` metrics for free, including a
+  Grafana-ready histogram that pairs with the Spring Boot one.
+
+**Negative**
+
+- One extra level of indirection: any test that asserts on metric
+  values must remember to monkeypatch `main.metrics`, not the registry
+  directly. Rebinding through the registry is harmless but useless —
+  the dataclass holds references to the original collectors.
+- `prometheus-client` is now pinned. Upgrading it requires an explicit
+  bump and re-checking the instrumentator's compatibility range.
+- `/metrics` is exposed unauthenticated and relies on the Docker
+  internal network for confidentiality. See
+  [docs/OBSERVABILITY.md §Internal-only endpoints](../OBSERVABILITY.md)
+  for the Caddy snippet that must be added if the service ever gets a
+  host-side port mapping.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Hand-roll the `/metrics` endpoint.** Rejected: would have meant
+  duplicating what `prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator` ships, plus
+  middleware for the HTTP histograms.
+- **Skip the factory; pass `registry` as a function argument
+  everywhere.** Rejected: clutters every endpoint signature and breaks
+  the symmetry with the Spring Boot side, which also relies on a
+  process-global Micrometer registry.
+- **Use a `pytest` autouse fixture that resets `REGISTRY` between
+  tests.** Rejected: `prometheus_client` does not expose a clean
+  "unregister all" hook, and we would be relying on private APIs.

+# ADR-024: Grafana reads archive-db via a bridged network and a SELECT-only role
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Issue #651 (the PO Overview Grafana dashboard) needs aggregates over three
+tables in the main application database — `audit_log`, `documents`, and
+`transcription_blocks` — to answer the operator's four weekly questions: is
+everything working, are people using it, is the archive making progress, is
+OCR working well.
+
+Until now, `obs-grafana` and the rest of the observability stack lived on
+their own Docker network (`obs-net`) and never touched `archiv-net`, where
+`archive-db` runs. The two were intentionally isolated: a compromise of any
+observability container could not pivot to the application database.
+
+The PO Overview's archive-progress and user-activity panels need rolling
+7-day SQL aggregates that cannot be served by Prometheus or Loki. That
+forces a connection from `obs-grafana` to `archive-db` for the first time.
+
+Two implementation requirements shaped the design:
+
+1. **Least privilege on the database side.** The Spring Boot application
+   role (`archiv`) has full read/write on every table. Letting Grafana
+   connect with that role would mean a Grafana compromise becomes an
+   application compromise. The dashboard only needs SELECT on three
+   tables; the role must reflect that and nothing more.
+
+2. **Operational simplicity of secret rotation.** The role's password is
+   shared between the migration that sets it and the Grafana datasource
+   that uses it. A first version of this work put the password in a
+   versioned Flyway migration (V68), which Flyway only applies once —
+   leaving rotation as an out-of-band `psql ALTER ROLE` step that no
+   runbook documented. The shape must support rotation without manual
+   SQL.
+
+## Decision
+
+- Provision a dedicated PostgreSQL role `grafana_reader` with `LOGIN` plus
+  `GRANT SELECT` on `audit_log`, `documents`, `transcription_blocks` only.
+  No INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on any table, no access to any other table —
+  enforced by the database, locked in by both positive and parameterized
+  negative tests in `GrafanaReaderRoleIntegrationTest`.
+- Split the role's lifecycle across two migrations:
+  - `V68__add_grafana_reader_role.sql` — versioned, immutable, idempotent.
+    Creates the role and applies the grants. Runs exactly once per
+    database, like every other versioned migration.
+  - `R__grafana_reader_password.sql` — Flyway *repeatable* migration that
+    issues `ALTER ROLE grafana_reader WITH PASSWORD '${grafanaDbPassword}'`.
+    Flyway computes the checksum on the resolved content, so any change
+    to `GRAFANA_DB_PASSWORD` flips the checksum and re-applies the
+    migration on the next boot. Rotation becomes "bump env var, restart
+    backend, restart obs-grafana" — see the runbook in
+    `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md §4 → Rotate the grafana_reader DB password`.
+- Resolve the password through Spring's `Environment` rather than a raw
+  `System.getenv()` call, so tests inject via `application.properties`
+  and the resolver is unit-testable with `MockEnvironment`. Fail closed
+  with `IllegalStateException` when the variable is unset — no fallback
+  string. Same shape as `UserDataInitializer`'s refusal to seed default
+  admin credentials outside dev/test/e2e.
+- Join `obs-grafana` to `archiv-net` in addition to `obs-net`. Only the
+  Grafana container crosses the boundary; Loki, Tempo, Prometheus,
+  GlitchTip, and the worker containers remain `obs-net`-only.
+
+## Consequences
+
+**Positive**
+
+- Database-level least privilege: a Grafana compromise gains SELECT on
+  three tables. Cannot write, cannot read PII tables like `app_users`,
+  `persons`, `notifications`, `document_comments`, `geschichten`. The
+  parameterized PII negative sweep in `GrafanaReaderRoleIntegrationTest`
+  is the regression gate; new sensitive tables get added to that list.
+- Rotation is documented, idempotent, and survives operator turnover.
+  No "the password set on day 1 is the password forever" failure mode.
+- Tests pin down both sides of the boundary: positive grants must hold,
+  write-deny must hold, and the PII negative list must stay empty.
+
+**Negative / trade-offs**
+
+- `obs-net` is no longer fully isolated from `archiv-net`. A Grafana RCE
+  (e.g. via a future Grafana CVE) gains a TCP path to `archive-db` —
+  contained, but not impossible. The least-privilege role is the
+  mitigation; we accept that mitigation as sufficient for a single
+  bridged container.
+- The backend must hold `GRAFANA_DB_PASSWORD` in its environment forever,
+  so Flyway can resolve the placeholder on every boot. A backend RCE
+  therefore also leaks the Grafana datasource password. Acceptable
+  because that password's blast radius is itself bounded by the
+  least-privilege grants on `grafana_reader`.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Prometheus PostgreSQL exporter, no direct connection.** Loses ad-hoc
+  SQL aggregates — the dashboard would need every metric pre-defined as
+  an exporter query, with a redeploy to add a new one. The PO Overview
+  is the type of dashboard that grows panels over time; pre-defining
+  every aggregate is the wrong shape.
+- **Read replica or logical-replication slot dedicated to Grafana.**
+  Real operational cost (extra Postgres instance, replication monitoring,
+  storage doubled) disproportionate to a weekly PO glance.
+- **Versioned migration with `flyway repair` for rotation.** Rejected:
+  conflates schema lifecycle with credential lifecycle, requires manual
+  intervention to rotate, and the repair command's semantics are
+  surprising to operators unfamiliar with Flyway internals.
+- **Hardcoded fallback password when env var is unset.** Rejected as a
+  security blocker: publishes a known credential for a role with read
+  access to user activity and full letter text. The fail-closed
+  behavior is the explicit defense.

+# ADR-025 — Canonical Import Output as Contract & Single-Migration Schema Foundation
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-27
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Issue:** #671
+**Milestone:** Handling the Unknowns — honest uncertainty in dates & people
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+The "Handling the Unknowns" milestone introduces honest uncertainty into the archive:
+documents whose dates are known only approximately or as a range, and people the importer
+infers from raw attribution text but cannot confidently identify. Three sibling issues —
+date precision (#666), name triage (#665), and the importer (#669) — each independently
+planned a Flyway `V69` migration that altered `persons`. Three `V69`s is a boot failure
+(Flyway versions must be unique), and `persons.provisional` was at risk of being defined
+twice.
+
+Two durable decisions had to be made before any application code in Phases 3–6 could
+compile against the new schema.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+### 1. All import/precision/attribution/identity schema lives in ONE migration with a single owner
+
+`V69__import_precision_attribution_identity_schema.sql` adds every new column for this
+milestone in a single, atomic, forward-only migration:
+
+- `documents`: `meta_date_precision` (backfilled `DAY` where dated / `UNKNOWN` where not,
+  then `NOT NULL`), `meta_date_end`, `meta_date_raw`, `sender_text`, `receiver_text`.
+- `persons`: `source_ref` (unique index, nullable), `provisional` (`NOT NULL DEFAULT false`).
+- `tag`: `source_ref` (unique index, nullable).
+
+Integrity is pushed to the database as fail-closed `CHECK` constraints (the precedent is
+`V22`'s `person_type` allowlist):
+
+- `meta_date_precision` must be one of the seven enum values.
+- `meta_date_end` may be non-null **only** when precision = `RANGE` (one-directional, not
+  biconditional — see Consequences).
+- `meta_date_end >= meta_date` for ranges with both endpoints (a `CHECK`, not a trigger).
+- `meta_date_raw`, `sender_text`, `receiver_text` are length-capped at 10 000 (mirrors the
+  `transcription_blocks` cap in `V18`).
+
+No sibling issue adds another migration that alters `persons` or `documents` in this
+milestone.
+
+### 2. The backend `DatePrecision` enum is a verbatim mirror of the normalizer's `Precision`; the canonical output is the contract
+
+The importer reads the Python normalizer's canonical output
+(`tools/import-normalizer/`). The backend `DatePrecision` enum
+(`DAY, MONTH, SEASON, YEAR, RANGE, APPROX, UNKNOWN`) is a verbatim copy of the normalizer's
+`Precision(StrEnum)` (`dates.py`). There is **no translation layer**: the normalizer's
+output strings are persisted as-is. The same applies to `source_ref`, which carries the
+normalizer's `person_id` / canonical `tag_path` unchanged as the re-import idempotency key.
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **RANGE is one-directional, not biconditional.** A `RANGE` row may have a null
+  `meta_date_end` (an open-ended range with only a start), because the normalizer can emit
+  start-only ranges. A biconditional `RANGE ⟺ end IS NOT NULL` rule would reject valid
+  normalizer output, so it was rejected. Phase 4 rendering must handle a `RANGE` with no end
+  gracefully.
+- **`provisional` stays `false` throughout this phase.** The column and flag exist, but no
+  code path sets it `true`; the importer (Phase 3) is the only writer. This is intentional,
+  not a half-built feature.
+- **A future dev must not "improve" the enum.** Renaming or dropping a `DatePrecision` value
+  without changing the normalizer silently breaks import idempotency and date rendering. The
+  enum's Javadoc states this; the DB `CHECK` enforces validity independent of the Java enum.
+- **`source_ref` is unique + nullable.** Manually created persons/tags have `source_ref =
+  NULL`; Postgres allows multiple NULLs under a plain unique index, so no backfill is needed.
+- **Forward-only.** The migration is immutable once shipped (Flyway checksum model); any fix
+  goes in a later version. There is no down-migration — rollback means restoring from the
+  nightly `pg_dump`, the standard procedure.
+- **`PersonSummaryDTO` coupling.** `provisional` was added to the `PersonSummaryDTO` native
+  interface projection; because the projection is backed by native SQL, the column had to be
+  added to all three native `SELECT`s (`findAllWithDocumentCount`, `searchWithDocumentCount`,
+  `findTopByDocumentCount`) or it would silently return `false`. Guarded by integration tests
+  against real Postgres.

+`importSingleDocument` (upsert by `originalFilename`, dedupe non-placeholders as
+`ALREADY_EXISTS`). Date parsing is **ISO-only** (`LocalDate.parse`).
+
+---
+
+## IMP-01 — New xlsx column layout ≠ importer defaults 🔴 BLOCKER
+
+The new `…aktuell…xlsx` (sheet `Familienarchiv`, 7,943 rows × 12 cols) has a **denser,
+different** layout. There is an extra `Datei` column at index 1, and the normalized
+`Von`/`An`/ISO-`Datum` columns from the ODS **do not exist**.
+
+| col | New xlsx header | Importer default expects | Result with defaults |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 0 | Index | Index | ✅ ok |
+| 1 | **Datei** (path) | Box | ❌ Box ← `..\__scan\W-0001.pdf` |
+| 2 | Box | Mappe | ❌ Mappe ← `V` |
+| 3 | Mappe | Sender | ❌ Sender ← `1` |
+| 4 | BriefeschreiberIn (sender) | — (unused) | ❌ sender ignored |
+| 5 | EmpfängerIn (receiver) | Receivers | ✅ coincidentally ok |
+| 6 | Datum des Briefes | — (unused) | ❌ date ignored |
+| 7 | Ort (location) | Date | ❌ Date ← `Rotterdam` → null |
+| 8 | Schlagwort (tag) | — (unused) | ❌ tag ignored |
+| 9 | Inhalt (summary) | Location | ❌ Location ← summary text |
+| 10 | — | Tag | ❌ empty |
+| 11 | — | Summary | ❌ empty |
+| 13 | — | Transcription | ❌ column doesn't exist |
+
+**Impact:** importing as-is produces almost entirely garbage metadata.
+
+**Proposed approach (decide with Marcel):**
+- (a) Re-map via the existing `app.import.col.*` properties — fast, no code. New mapping:
+  `index=0, box=2, folder=3, sender=4, receivers=5, date=6, location=7, tags=8, summary=9`,
+  and there is **no** transcription column (point it past the end or add a "missing column"
+  convention). Caveat: tags land in `colTags` but the real per-letter keywords are in
+  `Inhalt` (col 9) — see IMP-08 note on tags vs summary.
+- (b) Make the importer **header-driven** (map by header name, not index) so it survives
+  layout drift across files. More robust, needs a code change (→ Gitea issue).
+
+Recommendation: (b) is the durable fix given we have ≥3 different layouts already.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-02 — 90% of dates are free-text the parser can't read 🔴 BLOCKER
+
+The dates are written **as in the letter**. `parseDate()` only does `LocalDate.parse()`
+(ISO `yyyy-MM-dd`), so anything non-ISO becomes `null`.
+
+Of **7,319** rows with a date value (col 6):
+
+| kind | count | parses today? |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Real Excel date cells (→ ISO via POI) | 748 | ✅ |
+| Free-text date strings | 6,571 | ❌ → null |
+
+→ **90% of dated rows lose their date.** (623 rows have no date at all.)
+
+Observed free-text formats (counts approximate, from col 6):
+
+| Format | Count | Examples |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `D.M.YY` | 1,338 | `11.10.08`, `13.5.09` |
+| `D.RomanMonth.YY/YYYY` | ~1,527 | `22.III.18`, `19.XII.1954`, `1.III.27` |
+| `D.Month YYYY` | 950 | `6.März 1888`, `9.März 1888` (note: **no space** after the dot) |
+| `D.M.YYYY` | 358 | `15.2.1888`, `7.3.1888` |
+| Approximate / unknown | 146 | `?`, `13.7.18?`, `17.Nov (?) 1887`, `13.Januar ? 1907` |
+| `Month YYYY` / season / holiday | 41+27 | `Mai 1895`, `Herbst 1913`, `Pfingsten 1922`, `Ostern 1890` |
+| `YYYY` only | 17 | `1905`, `1949` |
+| `D.M.` no year | 10 | `8.9.`, `14.3.` |
+| Ranges | 5+ | `8.1.1916 - 15.3.1916`, `1881/82`, `1945/46?` |
+| Abbrev/English months, no space | many | `29.Sept.1891`, `10.Oct.95`, `9.December1889`, `18.Dez.1916` |
+| Slash separator | ~315 | `2/2. 18`, `17/6. 1916`, `10/4. 1917` |
+| English `Month D. YYYY` | several | `April 12. 1922`, `Oct.5. 1916`, `Mai 23. 1917` |
+| Trailing notes | 5+ | `26.4.1888, 2. Brief`, `31.8.1888,2.Brief` |
+| 3-digit year (typo) | 107 | `30.1.889` (→ 1889), `4.3.1023` (in person file → 1923) |
+| Day-range within month | several | `7./8. Sept.1923` |
+
+**Proposed approach:** build a tolerant German/historical date parser (→ Gitea issue, it's
+a code change). Requirements:
+- Numeric `D.M.YY[YY]` and `D/M. YY[YY]` (slash = dot).
+- Roman-numeral months (`I`–`XII`).
+- German + English month names, full + abbreviated, with/without separating space
+  (`März`, `Sept.`, `Dez`, `December`, `Oct.`).
+- 2-digit and 3-digit year normalization (`08`→1908? needs a century rule; `889`→1889).
+- Partial dates → store what's known. The schema only has a single `documentDate
+  LocalDate`; **decide** whether to (i) store first-of-month/year, (ii) add a
+  `datePrecision` enum + `dateOriginal` text column, or (iii) keep raw text in a new
+  `documentDateRaw` field and leave `documentate` null when imprecise. Recommendation:
+  preserve the **original string** always (new column) + best-effort parsed date +
+  precision flag, so nothing is lost and the UI can show "ca. 1916".
+- Unparseable/approximate (`?`, `Herbst 1913`) → keep raw, leave parsed date null, **do
+  not drop the row**.
+
+**Cross-check:** even after IMP-01 is fixed so the date column is read, IMP-02 still bites.
+Both must be solved before a real import.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-03 — New xlsx has no normalized/ISO date or name columns 🔴 BLOCKER
+
+The ODS had helper columns the importer relied on: `Von`/`An` (normalized names) and
+`Datum` (ISO) alongside `Datum Originalformat`. The new xlsx has **only the raw**
+`BriefeschreiberIn` / `EmpfängerIn` / `Datum des Briefes`. So:
+- Names must be parsed from raw strings (PersonNameParser already does receivers; **sender
+  is taken raw, never split** — fine for senders, which are single, but no normalization).
+- Dates must be parsed from raw (IMP-02).
+
+This is the root reason IMP-01/02 exist: the new file is the *uncurated* source, not the
+hand-normalized ODS. Tie any importer redesign to this reality — we will not get clean
+helper columns in the 7k-row file.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-04 — Person register not imported at all 🟠 MAJOR
+
+`Personendatei 2.xlsx` → sheet `Tabelle1`, **163 people**, columns:
+`Generation, Familienname, Vorname, geb als (maiden), Geburtsdatum, Geburtsort,
+Todesdatum, Sterbeort, verheiratet mit, Bemerkung`.
+
+Today `MassImportService` has **no person-register import**. Persons are only
+auto-created as bare aliases from the document sender/receiver strings
+(`personService.findOrCreateByAlias`). All this rich genealogical data is unused:
+- birth/death dates + places,
+- maiden names (the key to dedup — see IMP-05),
+- `verheiratet mit` (marriage links → `PersonRelationship` domain),
+- `Bemerkung` relationship hints (`"Schwester v Marie Cram"`, `"Nichte von Herbert"`),
+- `Generation` (G 1–G 4),
+- nicknames in quotes (`"Tante Lolly"`).
+
+Data-quality notes in this file too: multi-value `Vorname` (`Charlotte,Meta,Jacobi`);
+mixed Excel-date vs text dates; typos (`4.3.1023`); missing-day dates (`.12.1955`);
+trailing spaces (`30.8.1862 `).
+
+**Proposed approach:** a separate **Person import** (→ Gitea issue). Order matters: import
+persons *first* so documents can link to real people instead of creating alias stubs.
+Use `geb als` + `verheiratet mit` to pre-build the alias/relationship graph.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-05 — Name variations create duplicate Persons 🟠 MAJOR
+
+The same person appears under several surface forms across the document sheet:
+- `Eugenie Müller` (151) vs `Eugenie de Gruyter` (452) — maiden vs married.
+- `Clara Cram` (sender 1,284) vs `Clara de Gruyter` (455) vs `Clara de Gruyter sen.` (66).
+- `Walter de Gruyter` (589) vs bare `Walter` (78).
+
+`findOrCreateByAlias` keys on the raw string, so each variant becomes (or matches) a
+distinct alias and likely a **distinct Person**. Result: fragmented person records,
+broken Briefwechsel pairing, wrong stats.
+
+**Proposed approach:** drive dedup from the register's `geb als` column (IMP-04) —
+`Eugenie de Gruyter geb Müller` tells us the two strings are one person. Build an alias
+map (married ↔ maiden ↔ nickname) before/while importing documents. This is partly data
+(an alias mapping table/sheet) and partly code (consume it). Likely a Gitea issue once the
+mapping format is decided.
+
+945 distinct sender strings / 274 distinct receiver strings — expect a long-tail of
+variants to reconcile. Don't try to be perfect on the first pass; get the high-frequency
+names right.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-06 — 93 data rows with blank Index are silently dropped 🟠 MAJOR
+
+`processRows` does `if (index.isBlank()) continue;`. **93 rows** have a blank Index but
+carry other data (sender/receiver/date/etc.). These are silently skipped — they don't even
+appear in the `skippedFiles` report (that list only covers rows that *had* an index but
+failed file checks).
+
+**Proposed approach:** before import, triage these 93 rows — are they continuation rows,
+section markers, or genuine letters missing an ID? At minimum, surface a count/warning so
+nothing vanishes unnoticed. Possibly a small importer change to report blank-index skips.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-07 — 43 duplicate Index values 🟡 MINOR
+
+43 Index values repeat (e.g. `W-0388`, `Eu-0332`, `C-0234`, `C-0235`, `C-0236`, `J-0175`).
+Since the filename is derived from Index, the importer's upsert keys both rows on the same
+`originalFilename`: the second occurrence is treated as `ALREADY_EXISTS` (if the first
+isn't a placeholder) and **its metadata is lost**, or it overwrites a placeholder.
+
+**Proposed approach:** list the 43 duplicates, check whether they're true duplicates or
+two distinct letters that share an ID by mistake. Fix in the source data, or extend the ID
+scheme. Data task first; software only if the ID scheme must change.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-08 — Section/title rows interleaved with data 🟡 MINOR
+
+Row 2 of the sheet is a section header sitting only in the sender column
+(`Brautbriefe von Walter der Gruyter an Eugenie Müller`) with a blank Index — caught by the
+blank-Index skip (overlaps IMP-06). There may be more such banners scattered through 7,943
+rows. Also relevant: the per-letter **keywords live in `Inhalt` (col 9)** as comma-joined
+values (`Tilburg,Verwandschaft`, `poetisch,Reise nach Breda`), while `Schlagwort` (col 8)
+holds a single broad tag (`Brautbriefe`). The importer only takes **one** tag column —
+decide which column feeds tags vs summary, and whether to split comma-lists into multiple
+tags.
+
+**Proposed approach:** scan for rows where Index is blank but other cells are set (already
+have the count: relates to the 93 in IMP-06). Confirm tag vs summary column choice with
+Marcel.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-09 — Index ↔ Datei filename mismatches 🟡 MINOR
+
+The `Datei` column (col 1) holds explicit relative paths (`..\__scan\W-0001.pdf`) but they
+don't always agree with the Index. Example: row 20 has Index `W-0010x` but Datei
+`..\__scan\W-0011x.pdf`. The importer derives the filename from **Index**, so it will look
+for `W-0010x.pdf` and may miss the actual scan. (Note: the `Datei` paths themselves are
+Windows-style with `\` and `..` and would be **rejected** by `isValidImportFilename` if anyone
+tried to use that column directly — 7,623 rows use backslashes, 7,455 contain `..`.)
+
+**Proposed approach:** when the PDFs arrive, reconcile Index-derived names against actual
+filenames; produce a mismatch report. Keep deriving from Index (stable IDs) but flag
+disagreements. Mostly a data/QA task.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-10 — `x`-suffix rows (letter backsides / enclosures) 🟡 MINOR
+
+**42 rows** have an `x`-suffixed Index (`W-0001x`, `W-0002x`, …). They're sparse — typically
+only Index + Datei + sender + receiver, no box/folder/date. They appear to be the reverse
+side or an enclosure of the preceding letter. The importer treats each as an independent
+Document, and the `metadataComplete` heuristic flags them complete as soon as a sender is
+present (date/box/folder all missing).
+
+**Proposed approach:** decide whether `x` rows should be (a) separate documents, (b) extra
+pages/files attached to their parent, or (c) skipped. Affects both the data model and the
+`metadataComplete` heuristic. Discuss with Marcel.
+
+---
+
+## IMP-11 — Multi-receiver separators include bare `u` / `u.` 🟡 MINOR
+
+`PersonNameParser.parseReceivers` already handles ` und `, ` u `, `//`, `geb.`,
+parenthesised shared surnames, and `Familie` filtering — good. But the real data also uses
+the abbreviation in forms the top-receivers list shows are common:
+`Eugenie u Walter de Gruyter` (230), `Herbert u Clara` (94), `Juan u Marie Cram` (75),
+and space-joined pairs like `Ella Anita` (79) that may be two people.
+Raw separator tally on receivers: ` und ` ×70, `,` ×11, `;` ×2, `/` ×1 — plus the many ` u `
+cases above. Senders are **not** parsed at all (taken raw), which is fine unless a sender
+cell ever holds two names.
+
+**Proposed approach:** add `MassImportServiceTest` cases for the real-world strings above;
+extend the parser only where it actually fails. `Ella Anita`-style space-joined pairs are
+ambiguous — likely leave as one person unless the register says otherwise (ties to IMP-05).
+
+---
+
+## IMP-12 — Importer reads only the first sheet, no validation 🟡 MINOR
+
+`readXlsx` does `workbook.getSheetAt(0)`. For the new xlsx that's `Familienarchiv` (✅), but
+the file also contains `Inhaltsverzeichnis grob`, `Inhaltsverzeichnis WdG`, `Tabelle4`.
+There is no header validation: if the wrong file/sheet is dropped in `/import`, the importer
+will happily map columns positionally and import nonsense. Also `findSpreadsheetFile()` picks
+the **first** spreadsheet found in `/import` — with three spreadsheets present there today,
+which one wins is filesystem-order-dependent.
+
+**Proposed approach:** (a) validate the header row against expected names before importing;
+(b) make the target sheet/file explicit (config or header match) rather than "first found".
+Ties into the header-driven mapping in IMP-01(b).
+
+---
+
+## Summary of recommended sequencing
+
+1. **Decide the importer mapping strategy** (IMP-01): positional re-config vs header-driven.
+   Header-driven is the durable choice and unblocks IMP-03/12.
+2. **Build the tolerant date parser** (IMP-02) with original-string preservation + precision.
+3. **Import the Person register first** (IMP-04) and build the alias/marriage graph,
+   which feeds person dedup (IMP-05).
+4. **Then import documents**, with reporting for blank-index (IMP-06), duplicates (IMP-07),
+   and section rows (IMP-08).
+5. **Reconcile files** when the ~7,000 PDFs arrive (IMP-09), and decide `x`-row semantics
+   (IMP-10).
+
+Code-change items (→ Gitea issues when we get there): IMP-01(b), IMP-02, IMP-04, IMP-05
+(consume side), IMP-06 reporting, IMP-12. Pure-data items stay in this folder.

+
+- **Status:** Draft for review
+- **Date:** 2026-05-25
+- **Related:** [`01-findings-spreadsheet-analysis.md`](./01-findings-spreadsheet-analysis.md) (issues `IMP-01..12`), [`README.md`](./README.md)
+- **Scope boundary:** This spec covers the **offline normalizer** that turns the raw
+  spreadsheets into a clean, canonical dataset + review artifacts. Wiring the canonical
+  contract into the Java `MassImportService` and the `Document`/`Person` model is **Phase 2**
+  and gets its own spec. This spec only *defines the contract* Phase 2 must satisfy.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Project Brief
+
+**Vision.** Turn the family's human-curated, free-form archive spreadsheets into a clean,
+canonical dataset that imports deterministically — without hand-editing thousands of rows
+and without losing the historical nuance of how things were originally written.
+
+**Problem.** The real archive (`…aktuell…xlsx`, 7,943 rows) and the person register
+(`Personendatei 2.xlsx`, 163 people) were authored for humans to read, not machines to
+import. Dates are written as they appeared in each letter (≈90% unparseable by the current
+importer), the column layout differs from what the importer expects, and the same person
+appears under many names. Importing as-is produces garbage (see `IMP-01..12`).
+
+**Goal (measurable).**
+- G1 — After the automated pass, **≤ 5%** of dated rows remain `UNKNOWN`; after the
+  overrides-iteration loop, **≤ 0.5%**.
+- G2 — **100%** of source rows are represented in the canonical output or in a review file —
+  *zero silent drops*.
+- G3 — **100%** of original values (raw date string, raw name string, source row number)
+  are preserved.
+- G4 — A full run over the current inputs completes in **< 60 s** on the dev laptop and is
+  **content-deterministic** when re-run with unchanged inputs+overrides: identical canonical
+  cell matrices and identical review-file contents. (Workbook metadata is pinned; literal xlsx
+  byte-identity is not guaranteed because the zip container stores entry metadata.)
+
+**Primary actor.** Marcel — solo owner & data steward (tech comfort 4/5). Also: a future
+agent re-running the pipeline; and the `MassImportService` as the downstream consumer.
+
+**Non-Goals (explicitly out of scope).**
+- NG1 — Changing `MassImportService` or the DB schema (that is Phase 2).
+- NG2 — Uploading/attaching the ~7,000 PDFs (they arrive later; import matches by `index`).
+- NG3 — A GUI. The interface is spreadsheets in, CSVs out, an overrides file hand-edited.
+- NG4 — Perfect genealogical reconstruction. We resolve confidently-matchable people; the
+  long tail stays as provisional persons.
+- NG5 — OCR/transcription content (the new xlsx has no transcription column).
+
+**Key assumptions.** (A1) Sheet `Familienarchiv` is the document source of truth.
+(A2) Archive date range is **1873–1957** (drives the 2-digit-year century rule).
+(A3) `index` is the stable document key and the basis for future PDF matching.
+(A4) `Schlagwort` is a broad tag; `Inhalt` is a short summary/topic.
+
+**Risks.** (R1) 2-digit/partial dates are genuinely ambiguous → mitigated by precision flag
++ overrides. (R2) Name matching false-positives merge distinct people → mitigated by
+conservative matching + review before merge. (R3) Source spreadsheet may be re-exported with
+layout drift → mitigated by header-name-based mapping, not fixed indices.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Personas
+
+**Marcel — Data Steward.** Role: solo owner of Familienarchiv. Context: holds the complete
+raw archive; PDFs follow. Tech comfort: 4/5 (semi-technical, reads CSV/spreadsheets fluently,
+not keen to hand-edit 7,600 rows). Primary goal: a clean, importable dataset he trusts.
+Frustrations: dates in ~20 formats; one ancestor under 4 name variants. **JTBD:** *"When I
+have raw, human-curated archive spreadsheets, I want to transform them into a clean importable
+dataset without losing how things were originally written, so I can load the archive and keep
+correcting edge cases as they surface."*
+
+**The Returning Agent.** Role: a future assistant session resuming the work. Goal: re-run the
+pipeline deterministically and understand exactly what still needs human input. **JTBD:**
+*"When I pick this up cold, I want one command and a clear residue report, so I can continue
+without re-deriving context."*
+
+---
+
+## 3. Constraints & Decisions Already Made
+
+These were settled during brainstorming and are fixed inputs to the requirements below.
+
+| # | Decision | Rationale |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| C1 | **New canonical layout** with explicit headers (not the old positional ODS shape). | Fits the new data; importer becomes header-driven in Phase 2. |
+| C2 | Dates stored as **parsed (nullable) + raw + precision**. | Historical archive; never lose the original; enable "ca. 1916". |
+| C3 | **Include person resolution** (register + alias/marriage map → canonical persons) in this effort. | Maiden-name dedup needs the register. |
+| C4 | **Overrides-file + re-run** loop for residue. | Deterministic, diffable, repeatable. |
+| C5 | Implementation: **Python 3.12 + openpyxl**, standalone tool at `tools/import-normalizer/`. | Fast iteration; no Spring rebuild / coverage gate on transform code. |
+| C6 | Century rule for archive **1873–1957**: 2-digit `00–57`→`19YY`, `73–99`→`18YY`, `58–72`→**flag**; 3-digit `DDD`→`1DDD`; never 20xx. | Stated by Marcel. Boundaries live in config. |
+| C7 | `Schlagwort`→tag, `Inhalt`→summary. | Matches importer's existing semantics. |
+| C8 | Non-register correspondents become **provisional persons**. | ~945 distinct sender strings vs 163 register people. |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Functional Requirements
+
+Each requirement has a stable ID. User stories use Connextra + Given-When-Then; system rules
+use EARS. Traceability to findings in §8.
+
+### 4.1 Ingest & layout (`FR-INGEST`, `FR-MAP`)
+
+**US-MAP-01** — *As the data steward, I want each source column mapped to a named canonical
+field regardless of its position, so a re-exported spreadsheet with shifted columns still
+imports correctly.*
+- AC1 — Given the `Familienarchiv` sheet, when the normalizer reads the header row, then it
+  maps columns by **header name** (not fixed index) to the canonical fields.
+- AC2 — Given a header the normalizer does not recognise, when it runs, then it records the
+  unknown header in `review/summary.txt` and continues (does not crash).
+- AC3 — Given a required source header is **absent**, when it runs, then it aborts with a
+  clear message naming the missing header (fail loud, before producing partial output).
+
+- **REQ-INGEST-01** — The normalizer shall read only the `Familienarchiv` sheet of the
+  document workbook and the `Tabelle1` sheet of the person workbook.
+- **REQ-MAP-01** — Header matching shall be case-insensitive and tolerant of internal
+  multiple spaces (e.g. `"Datum  des Briefes"`).
+
+### 4.2 Row triage (`FR-TRIAGE`) — resolves IMP-06, IMP-07, IMP-08
+
+**US-TRIAGE-01** — *As the data steward, I want rows that have data but no index surfaced
+rather than dropped, so I never lose a letter silently.*
+- AC1 — Given a row whose `index` is blank but which has any other non-empty cell, when the
+  normalizer runs, then that row is written to `review/blank-index-rows.csv` with its source
+  row number and is **not** emitted as a canonical document.
+- AC2 — Given a fully empty row, when it runs, then the row is skipped and counted (not
+  reported as an anomaly).
+
+- **REQ-TRIAGE-01** — If two or more rows resolve to the same `index`, then the normalizer
+  shall emit all of them to `review/duplicate-index.csv` and mark each canonical row
+  `needs_review = duplicate_index` (it shall **not** silently drop either).
+- **REQ-TRIAGE-02** — Where a row is identified as a section/banner row (blank index, text
+  only in a name column), the normalizer shall classify it as such in the blank-index report.
+- **REQ-TRIAGE-03** — Rows whose `index` ends in `x` (a transcription/back-side of the base
+  letter, not yet independently mappable) shall be **skipped** — not emitted as a canonical
+  document — and written to `review/skipped-x-suffix.csv` with their source row and base index
+  (`index` minus the trailing `x`), so they can be linked in a later pass. (Resolves IMP-10.)
+
+### 4.3 Date normalization (`FR-DATE`) — resolves IMP-02, IMP-03
+
+**US-DATE-01** — *As the data steward, I want every date interpreted as precisely as the
+source allows, with the original always kept, so I can sort the archive and still see what the
+letter actually said.*
+- AC1 — Given a parseable date, when normalized, then `date_iso` holds the best-effort ISO
+  date, `date_raw` holds the verbatim source string, and `date_precision` ∈
+  `{DAY, MONTH, SEASON, YEAR, RANGE, APPROX, UNKNOWN}`.
+- AC2 — Given an unparseable date, when normalized, then `date_iso` is empty,
+  `date_precision = UNKNOWN`, `date_raw` is preserved, and the value appears in
+  `review/unparsed-dates.csv`.
+- AC3 — Given the same `date_raw` appears in `overrides/dates.csv`, when normalized, then the
+  override's `(iso, precision)` wins over the automatic parse.
+
+- **REQ-DATE-01** — The parser shall accept, at minimum, these forms (see §10 examples):
+  Excel/ISO; `D.M.YYYY`/`D.M.YY`; `D/M. YY[YY]` (slash treated as dot); Roman-numeral months
+  `I–XII`; German + English month names, full and abbreviated, with or without a separating
+  space; `Month YYYY`; season/holiday + year; bare `YYYY`; and start-anchored ranges.
+- **REQ-DATE-02** — Precision shall be assigned by what is known: full day → `DAY`; month+year
+  → `MONTH` (day = 1); a **named feast/holiday + year** → resolved to its **actual calendar
+  date for that year** → `DAY`; a **season + year** → representative mid-season month (day = 1)
+  → `SEASON`; year only → `YEAR` (month = Jan, day = 1); a range → start date + `RANGE`; a
+  value carrying an uncertainty marker (`?`, `um`, `ca`, `circa`) → `APPROX` with best-effort date.
+- **REQ-DATE-03** — Two-digit and three-digit years shall be expanded per **C6**; a 2-digit
+  year in `58–72` shall yield `UNKNOWN` + a review entry rather than a guess.
+- **REQ-DATE-04** — Trailing editorial notes (e.g. `", 2. Brief"`) shall be stripped before
+  parsing and preserved (kept within `date_raw`; not invented into the date).
+- **REQ-DATE-05** — The parser shall be pure and side-effect-free so it can be unit-tested in
+  isolation (see NFR-TEST-01).
+- **REQ-DATE-06** — **Movable feasts are never mapped to a fixed month**; they shall be
+  computed per year from Easter (Gauss/Butcher computus): Karfreitag = Easter−2, Ostern =
+  Easter Sunday, Himmelfahrt = Easter+39, Pfingst(sonntag) = Easter+49, Pfingstmontag =
+  Easter+50, Fronleichnam = Easter+60, 1.–4. Advent = the 4th…1st Sunday before 25 Dec. Fixed
+  feasts use a lookup table (Neujahr=01-01, Heiligabend=12-24, Weihnachten=12-25,
+  Silvester=12-31, …). Seasons map to representative months: Frühling/Frühjahr=Apr, Sommer=Jul,
+  Herbst=Oct, Winter=Jan. The feast/season tables and Easter algorithm live in `config.py`
+  (NFR-MAINT-01).
+- **REQ-DATE-07** — **Intra-month day ranges carry an end day; half-resolved ranges are
+  flagged.** For a day range like `7./8. Sept.1923`, `date_iso` holds the start day, the end
+  day is resolved against the shared month/year into `date_end`, and `date_precision` =
+  `RANGE`. If the **start** parses but the **end day is impossible** (e.g. `10./40.1.1917`),
+  the row keeps the start and `RANGE` precision, leaves `date_end` **empty**, and is flagged
+  `needs_review = range_end_unparsed` — the unparseable end is dropped honestly (surfaced for
+  review), never silently invented or clamped. A `RANGE` row **may** therefore legitimately
+  have an empty `date_end`; the importer must treat `date_end` as optional even on a `RANGE`.
+
+### 4.4 Person resolution & dedup (`FR-PERS`, `FR-DEDUP`) — resolves IMP-04, IMP-05, IMP-11
+
+**US-PERS-01** — *As the data steward, I want the genealogical register turned into canonical
+people with all their known facts, so documents can link to real persons.*
+- AC1 — Given a register row, when parsed, then a canonical person is produced with
+  `person_id`, name parts, `maiden_name`, birth/death (parsed + raw + place), spouse,
+  generation, nickname, notes — applying the same date rules as §4.3 to birth/death dates.
+- AC2 — Given multi-value given names (`"Charlotte,Meta,Jacobi"`), when parsed, then the
+  primary given name is the first; the remainder are retained as additional names/aliases.
+
+**US-PERS-02** — *As the data steward, I want each sender/receiver string matched to a
+canonical person where possible and never dropped otherwise, so the correspondence graph is
+complete.*
+- AC1 — Given a sender/receiver string, when resolved, then it maps to a register
+  `person_id` via the alias index (exact → normalized/casefold → conservative fuzzy).
+- AC2 — Given no confident match, when resolved, then a **provisional person** is created from
+  the cleaned string, linked, and listed in `review/unmatched-names.csv` (occurrence count +
+  example source rows).
+- AC3 — Given the string appears in `overrides/names.csv`, when resolved, then it maps to the
+  specified `person_id` (override wins).
+- AC4 — Given a multi-person receiver cell (`"Eugenie u Walter de Gruyter"`, `"Herbert u
+  Clara"`, `"…//…"`, `"Hedi und Tutu (Gruber)"`), when resolved, then it is split into
+  individual people, each resolved independently; ambiguous space-joined pairs
+  (`"Ella Anita"`) are emitted to `review/ambiguous-receivers.csv` rather than guessed.
+
+- **REQ-DEDUP-01** — The alias index shall be derived from the register: canonical
+  "First Last", maiden form (`geb als`), spouse-surname married form, nickname, and
+  first-name-only **only when unambiguous** across the register.
+- **REQ-DEDUP-02** — The normalizer shall not merge two distinct strings into one person on
+  fuzzy similarity alone above a configured threshold without the match being reported; merges
+  must be auditable.
+- **REQ-PERS-01** — Sender cells shall be parsed for multi-person content using the same rules
+  as receiver cells (today the importer parses only receivers — IMP-11).
+
+### 4.5 Overrides & idempotency (`FR-OVR`) — supports the iteration loop
+
+- **REQ-OVR-01** — When the normalizer runs, then it shall load `overrides/dates.csv` and
+  `overrides/names.csv` if present and apply them; absence of either file shall not be an error.
+- **REQ-OVR-02** — While overrides are unchanged and inputs are unchanged, re-running shall
+  produce **byte-identical** canonical outputs and review files (NFR-IDEM-01).
+- **REQ-OVR-03** — Each override application shall be counted in `review/summary.txt` (how many
+  dates/names were resolved by override vs automatically).
+
+### 4.6 Canonical output & provenance (`FR-OUT`, `FR-PROV`) — resolves IMP-01, IMP-09, IMP-12
+
+- **REQ-OUT-01** — The normalizer shall write `out/canonical-documents.xlsx` and
+  `out/canonical-persons.xlsx` with the headered schemas in §6.
+- **REQ-PROV-01** — Every canonical document row shall carry `source_row` (1-based row number
+  in the source sheet) so any value can be traced back to the original.
+- **REQ-PROV-02** — Every canonical row shall carry a `needs_review` field listing zero or more
+  flags (`duplicate_index`, `unparsed_date`, `unmatched_sender`, `unmatched_receiver`,
+  `index_file_mismatch`, …) so the import and the UI can foreground uncertain data.
+- **REQ-OUT-02** — Where the source `Datei` path disagrees with the index-derived filename
+  (IMP-09), the normalizer shall record the discrepancy in `review/index-file-mismatch.csv`
+  and flag the row; it shall **not** alter the `index` (the stable key).
+

+
+## 5. Non-Functional Requirements
+
+| ID | Category | Requirement (measurable) |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| NFR-DATA-01 | Data integrity | 100% of source rows are accounted for in output **or** a review file; 100% of original date/name strings preserved verbatim. |
+| NFR-IDEM-01 | Determinism | Identical inputs + overrides ⇒ identical *logical* output across runs/machines: identical canonical cell matrices and review-file contents. Workbook `created`/`modified` metadata is pinned to a constant; ordering of all generated rows/aliases is stable (no set-iteration leakage). xlsx byte-identity is explicitly not required — determinism is asserted on content. |
+| NFR-PERF-01 | Performance | Full run over 7,943 doc rows + 163 person rows completes in < 60 s on the dev laptop. |
+| NFR-ACCUR-01 | Date accuracy | After automated pass, `UNKNOWN` dates ≤ 5% of dated rows; after overrides iteration, ≤ 0.5%. |
+| NFR-ACCUR-02 | Name coverage | Every sender/receiver occurrence yields a linked person (register or provisional); 0 dropped. |
+| NFR-I18N-01 | Encoding | UTF-8 end-to-end; German diacritics and ß round-trip with no mojibake in any output. |
+| NFR-TEST-01 | Testability | `dates.py` and `persons.py` have pytest tests covering every format/alias category in §10 with real examples from the archive. |
+| NFR-MAINT-01 | Maintainability | Column-name map, century boundaries, season→month map, and fuzzy threshold live in `config.py`, not inline in logic. |
+| NFR-OBSERV-01 | Observability | `review/summary.txt` reports per-run stats: rows in, documents out, dates by precision, names matched vs provisional, overrides applied, anomalies by type. |
+| NFR-SAFETY-01 | Source safety | Source workbooks are opened read-only and never written. |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Data Dictionary (canonical contract)
+
+This is the contract Phase 2 (the importer) must consume. Field-level, format-level — not a
+DB schema.
+
+### 6.1 `canonical-documents.xlsx`
+
+| Field | Required | Format / values | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `index` | yes | string | Stable key; basis for PDF matching. |
+| `file` | no | string | verbatim `Datei` value (e.g. `H-0730.pdf`); carried through for the importer to link the scanned PDF. |
+| `box` | no | string | from `Box`. |
+| `folder` | no | string | from `Mappe`. |
+| `sender_person_id` | no | person_id | resolved; empty if no sender. |
+| `sender_name` | no | string | canonical display name (or cleaned raw if provisional). |
+| `receiver_person_ids` | no | `id\|id\|…` | pipe-separated. |
+| `receiver_names` | no | `name\|name\|…` | pipe-separated, aligned with ids. |
+| `date_iso` | no | `YYYY-MM-DD` | best-effort; empty if `UNKNOWN`. |
+| `date_raw` | no | string | verbatim source date. |
+| `date_precision` | yes | enum | `DAY\|MONTH\|SEASON\|YEAR\|RANGE\|APPROX\|UNKNOWN`. |
+| `date_end` | no | `YYYY-MM-DD` or empty | RANGE end day (e.g. `7./8. Sept.1923` → `date_iso` = start, `date_end` = end). Empty for every non-RANGE precision **and** for a half-resolved RANGE whose end did not parse (see REQ-DATE-07). |
+| `location` | no | string | from `Ort`. |
+| `tags` | no | `tag\|tag` | from `Schlagwort`. |
+| `summary` | no | string | from `Inhalt`. |
+| `source_row` | yes | int | provenance (NFR-DATA-01). |
+| `needs_review` | yes | `flag\|flag` or empty | review flags (REQ-PROV-02). Flags include `unparsed_date`, `range_end_unparsed` (half-resolved RANGE, REQ-DATE-07), `unmatched_sender`, `unmatched_receiver`, `multi_sender`, `index_file_mismatch`, `duplicate_index`. |
+
+### 6.2 `canonical-persons.xlsx`
+
+| Field | Required | Format | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `person_id` | yes | slug | stable id (e.g. `de-gruyter-eugenie`); collisions suffixed. |
+| `last_name` | yes | string | from `Familienname`. |
+| `first_name` | no | string | primary given name. |
+| `maiden_name` | no | string | from `geb als` — drives dedup. |
+| `title` | no | string | e.g. honorifics if present. |
+| `nickname` | no | string | from quoted `Bemerkung`/spouse field. |
+| `birth_date` / `birth_date_raw` / `birth_place` | no | ISO / string / string | §4.3 rules. |
+| `death_date` / `death_date_raw` / `death_place` | no | ISO / string / string | §4.3 rules. |
+| `spouse` | no | person_id or name | from `verheiratet mit`. |
+| `generation` | no | string | `G 1`..`G 4`. |
+| `notes` | no | string | from `Bemerkung`. |
+| `aliases` | no | `a\|b\|c` | every surface form that maps here. |
+| `provisional` | yes | bool | true if created from a document string, not the register. |
+
+### 6.3 `canonical-persons-tree.json`
+
+The de-duplicated genealogical tree (family members + their relationships) the importer
+uses to seed the family graph. Each `persons[]` entry carries a `personId` that **joins
+1:1 onto** `person_id` in `canonical-persons.xlsx`.
+
+| Field | Required | Format | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `personId` | yes | slug | The register's **verbatim** `person_id` (e.g. `cram-hans-1`), propagated — never re-slugified — so collision suffixes match `canonical-persons.xlsx` exactly. Every tree `personId` exists in the register; the register is the sole slug authority. |
+| `firstName` / `lastName` / `maidenName` | first/last yes | string | name parts. |
+| `birthYear` / `deathYear` | no | int or null | year only (tree granularity). |
+| `birthPlace` / `deathPlace` | no | string or null | from the register. |
+| `generation` | no | int or null | parsed from `G n`. |
+| `notes` | no | string or null | leftover Bemerkung text after relationship extraction. |
+| `familyMember` | yes | bool | always true for tree persons. |
+
+A top-level `generated_at` is pinned to a fixed timestamp (`2020-01-01T00:00:00`) for
+reproducibility (NFR-IDEM-01), not a wall-clock value. `relationships[]` carry `SPOUSE_OF`
+and `PARENT_OF` edges keyed by `rowId`; `unresolved[]` lists relationship strings that did
+not match a tree person.

+## 9. Open Questions / TBD Register
+
+| ID | Question | Why it matters | Ref | Resolution |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| OQ-01 ✅ | Season/holiday → date. | Accuracy of ~70 SEASON/feast rows. | REQ-DATE-06 | **Resolved (2026-05-25):** movable feasts (Ostern, Pfingsten, Himmelfahrt, Advent, …) **computed per year from Easter — never a fixed month**; fixed feasts looked up (Weihnachten=12-25, Neujahr=01-01, …); seasons = mid-season month (Frühling=Apr, Sommer=Jul, Herbst=Oct, Winter=Jan). |
+| OQ-02 ✅ | Date ranges: start only, or start+end? | Sorting/display of ~315 range values. | REQ-DATE-02, REQ-DATE-07 | **Confirmed (updated #670):** store **start** in `date_iso`, precision `RANGE`, full text in `date_raw`, **and the resolved end day in `date_end`** for intra-month day ranges. A half-resolved range (start parsed, end impossible) keeps `date_end` empty and is flagged `range_end_unparsed`. |
+| OQ-03 ✅ | `person_id` format. | Stability across re-runs; diffability. | §6 | **Confirmed:** readable slug `lastname-firstname`, numeric suffix on collision. |
+| OQ-04 ✅ | `x`-suffix row handling. | 42 rows. | REQ-TRIAGE-03 | **Resolved (2026-05-25):** `x` rows are transcriptions of the base letter but not yet mappable → **skip this pass**, log to `review/skipped-x-suffix.csv` for later linking. |
+| OQ-05 ✅ | Importer output format. | Phase-2 reader. | B11 | **Confirmed:** `.xlsx` (openpyxl-native, headered). |
+| OQ-06 ✅ | Fuzzy-match policy. | False-positive person merges (R2). | REQ-DEDUP-02 | **Confirmed:** conservative — report all fuzzy matches; no silent merge. |
+
+*All open questions resolved as of 2026-05-25. New ambiguities discovered during build go here.*

+
+## 10. Glossary & Worked Examples
+
+**Precision** — how exactly a date is known (`DAY` … `UNKNOWN`). **Provisional person** — a
+person created from a document name string with no register match. **Alias index** — map from
+every known surface form of a name to a canonical `person_id`. **Override** — a
+human-supplied correction applied deterministically on each run.
+
+**Date examples → expected outcome:**
+
+| `date_raw` | `date_iso` | `date_precision` |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `15.2.1888` | 1888-02-15 | DAY |
+| `6.März 1888` | 1888-03-06 | DAY |
+| `22.III.18` | 1918-03-22 | DAY |
+| `13.5.09` | 1909-05-13 | DAY |
+| `10.Oct.95` | 1895-10-10 | DAY |
+| `17/6. 1916` | 1916-06-17 | DAY |
+| `Mai 1895` | 1895-05-01 | MONTH |
+| `Pfingsten 1922` | 1922-06-04 | DAY (computed: Easter 1922 = Apr 16, +49 days) |
+| `Herbst 1913` | 1913-10-01 | SEASON |
+| `1905` | 1905-01-01 | YEAR |
+| `8.1.1916 - 15.3.1916` | 1916-01-08 | RANGE |
+| `17.Nov (?) 1887` | 1887-11-17 | APPROX |
+| `?` | *(empty)* | UNKNOWN |
+
+**Name examples → expected outcome:**
+
+| raw cell | resolves to |
+| --- | --- |
+| `Eugenie Müller` (+ register `geb Müller`) | `de-gruyter-eugenie` (matched via maiden alias) |
+| `Eugenie de Gruyter` | `de-gruyter-eugenie` |
+| `Herbert u Clara` | `cram-herbert` + `cram-clara` (split, surname distributed) |
+| `Hedi und Tutu (Gruber)` | `gruber-hedi` + `gruber-tutu` |

+# Unresolved-Name Classification Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add a focused `review/unresolved-names.csv` that isolates sender/receiver strings whose *name itself* is problematic (unknown/illegible, single-token, relational-only, collective/group, prose-in-name-column, or a genuine two-given-name pair), and fix the ambiguous-pair heuristic so a plain `First Surname` external person (e.g. `Mieze Schefold`) is no longer falsely flagged.
+
+**Architecture:** A pure `classify_name(raw, given_names)` function in `persons.py` returns a `NameClass`. `ResolutionContext` classifies every *unmatched* name and records the non-`RESOLVABLE` ones in `self.unresolved`. A runtime-built given-name set (register first names + a small config supplement) lets the classifier distinguish a two-given-name pair (`Ella Anita` → two people) from a first+surname single person (`Mieze Schefold`). The orchestrator writes the aggregated report and per-category stats, replacing the noisy `ambiguous-receivers.csv`.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python 3.12, openpyxl, pytest — extends the existing `tools/import-normalizer/`.
+
+**Context:** This builds on the completed normalizer (PR #663). Run all tests with CWD = the tool dir, e.g. `cd tools/import-normalizer && .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_X.py -v`. Reuse the existing venv at `tools/import-normalizer/.venv` (do NOT recreate it). Commit on the current branch `docs/import-migration` (never main, never push). Each commit message ends with a trailing `Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>` line.

+
+### Task 4: Integrate — ResolutionContext records unresolved; orchestrator writes the report
+
+This task touches `persons.py`, `normalize.py`, and two test files together so the whole suite stays green in one commit (removing `ctx.ambiguous` requires updating its only consumer, `normalize.py`, in the same change).
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `tools/import-normalizer/persons.py` (ResolutionContext)
+- Modify: `tools/import-normalizer/normalize.py`
+- Modify: `tools/import-normalizer/tests/test_documents.py`
+- Modify: `tools/import-normalizer/tests/test_normalize.py`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update the failing tests first**
+
+In `tests/test_documents.py`, **replace** the existing `test_ambiguous_space_pair_flagged_not_split` function entirely with these two functions:
+
+```python
+def test_ambiguous_pair_recorded_in_unresolved():
+    people = persons.parse_register([{"last_name": "de Gruyter", "first_name": "Walter"}])
+    ctx = persons.ResolutionContext(persons.AliasIndex(people), name_overrides={},
+                                    given_names={"ella", "anita"})
+    raw = documents.RawRow(source_row=7, index="C-0200", sender="", receivers="Ella Anita")
+    doc = documents.to_canonical(raw, ctx, date_overrides={})
+    assert len(doc.receiver_person_ids) == 1   # not split — one provisional
+    assert any(name == "Ella Anita" and cat == "ambiguous_pair" for name, cat, _ in ctx.unresolved)
+
+def test_resolvable_first_surname_pair_not_unresolved():
+    ctx = persons.ResolutionContext(persons.AliasIndex([]), name_overrides={},
+                                    given_names={"ella", "anita"})
+    ctx.resolve_one("Mieze Schefold", source_row=1)   # surname is not a given name
+    assert ctx.unresolved == []                        # RESOLVABLE -> not recorded
+```
+
+In `tests/test_normalize.py`, in the `_doc_wb` fixture, change the `C-0001` row's receiver from empty to `"?"` so the run produces an unresolved entry. Find the line that appends the `C-0001` row and set its `EmpfängerIn` cell to `"?"`. For example the row currently reads:
+
+```python
+    ws.append(["C-0001", "", "", "", "Hans Wittkopf", "", "Freitag 1919", "", "", ""])
+```
+
+change the 6th cell (EmpfängerIn) from `""` to `"?"`:
+
+```python
+    ws.append(["C-0001", "", "", "", "Hans Wittkopf", "?", "Freitag 1919", "", "", ""])
+```
+
+Then add these assertions inside `test_run_end_to_end`, right after the existing `assert (review_dir / "unparsed-dates.csv").exists()` line:
+
+```python
+    assert (out_dir / "canonical-documents.xlsx").exists()  # (keep existing asserts above)
+    assert (review_dir / "unresolved-names.csv").exists()
+    unresolved_text = (review_dir / "unresolved-names.csv").read_text(encoding="utf-8")
+    assert "unknown" in unresolved_text and "?" in unresolved_text   # the "?" receiver
+    assert not (review_dir / "ambiguous-receivers.csv").exists()      # replaced
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `cd tools/import-normalizer && .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_documents.py tests/test_normalize.py -v && cd -`
+Expected: FAIL — `ResolutionContext` has no `given_names`/`unresolved`; `unresolved-names.csv` not written.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3a: Implement — `ResolutionContext` in `persons.py`**
+
+Replace the `ResolutionContext.__init__` body's two lines (`self.ambiguous` and add `given_names`) and the relevant methods. The new `__init__`:
+
+```python
+    def __init__(self, alias_index: AliasIndex, name_overrides: dict[str, str],
+                 given_names: set[str] | None = None):
+        self.index = alias_index
+        self.name_overrides = name_overrides
+        self.given_names = given_names or set()
+        self.provisional: dict[str, Person] = {}
+        self.unmatched: dict[str, list] = {}
+        self.unresolved: list[tuple] = []   # (raw_name, category, source_row) for non-RESOLVABLE names
+        self._raw_to_pid: dict[str, str] = {}
+        self.override_hits = 0
+```
+
+In `resolve_one`, the provisional branch must classify the name. Replace this existing block:
+
+```python
+        # provisional person (unmatched) — never reuse a register id
+        self.unmatched.setdefault(name, []).append(source_row)
+        if name in self._raw_to_pid:
+            return self._raw_to_pid[name], name, False
+```
+
+with:
+
+```python
+        # provisional person (unmatched) — never reuse a register id
+        self.unmatched.setdefault(name, []).append(source_row)
+        category = classify_name(name, self.given_names)
+        if category is not NameClass.RESOLVABLE:
+            self.unresolved.append((name, str(category), source_row))
+        if name in self._raw_to_pid:
+            return self._raw_to_pid[name], name, False
+```
+
+Replace the entire `resolve_receivers` method (the ambiguous detection now lives in `resolve_one` via `classify_name`):
+
+```python
+    def resolve_receivers(self, raw: str, source_row: int):
+        return [self.resolve_one(part, source_row) for part in split_receivers(raw)]
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3b: Implement — `normalize.py`**
+
+Find the line that builds the context:
+
+```python
+    ctx = persons.ResolutionContext(alias_index, name_overrides)
+```
+
+replace it with (build the given-name set from the register + config supplement):
+
+```python
+    given_names = persons.build_given_names(register, config.EXTRA_GIVEN_NAMES)
+    ctx = persons.ResolutionContext(alias_index, name_overrides, given_names=given_names)
+```
+
+Replace the `ambiguous-receivers.csv` write line:
+
+```python
+    writers.write_review_csv(review_dir / "ambiguous-receivers.csv", ["raw", "part", "source_row"], ctx.ambiguous)
+```
+
+with an aggregated unresolved-names report:
+
+```python
+    unresolved_agg: dict[tuple, list] = {}
+    for name, category, row in ctx.unresolved:
+        unresolved_agg.setdefault((category, name), []).append(row)
+    unresolved_rows = sorted(
+        ([cat, name, len(rows), " ".join(map(str, sorted(rows)[:5]))]
+         for (cat, name), rows in unresolved_agg.items()),
+        key=lambda r: (r[0], -r[2], r[1]))
+    writers.write_review_csv(review_dir / "unresolved-names.csv",
+                             ["category", "raw", "count", "example_rows"], unresolved_rows)
+```
+
+In the `stats` dict, replace the `"ambiguous_receivers"` line:
+
+```python
+        "ambiguous_receivers": len(ctx.ambiguous),
+```
+
+with a per-category breakdown:
+
+```python
+        "unresolved_name_occurrences": len(ctx.unresolved),
+        "unresolved_unknown": sum(1 for _, c, _ in ctx.unresolved if c == "unknown"),
+        "unresolved_single_token": sum(1 for _, c, _ in ctx.unresolved if c == "single_token"),
+        "unresolved_relational": sum(1 for _, c, _ in ctx.unresolved if c == "relational"),
+        "unresolved_collective": sum(1 for _, c, _ in ctx.unresolved if c == "collective"),
+        "unresolved_prose": sum(1 for _, c, _ in ctx.unresolved if c == "prose"),
+        "unresolved_ambiguous_pair": sum(1 for _, c, _ in ctx.unresolved if c == "ambiguous_pair"),
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the whole suite to verify green**
+
+Run: `cd tools/import-normalizer && .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -q && cd -`
+Expected: PASS (all tests, no `ambiguous` references remain).
+
+Also grep to confirm no dangling references:
+Run: `grep -rn "ctx.ambiguous\|ambiguous-receivers\|ambiguous_receivers\|self.ambiguous" tools/import-normalizer/*.py`
+Expected: no matches.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add tools/import-normalizer/persons.py tools/import-normalizer/normalize.py tools/import-normalizer/tests/test_documents.py tools/import-normalizer/tests/test_normalize.py
+git commit -m "feat(normalizer): unresolved-names report + fix ambiguous-pair over-flagging"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 5: README — document the new report
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `tools/import-normalizer/README.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update the review-file table** in `README.md`. Replace the `ambiguous-receivers.csv` row with an `unresolved-names.csv` row. Find the table row referencing `ambiguous-receivers.csv` and replace it with:
+
+```markdown
+| `unresolved-names.csv` | Names whose value is itself problematic, grouped by `category`: `unknown` (`?`/illegible), `single_token` (first OR last name only), `relational` (`Tante …`), `collective` (`Familie …`), `prose` (a description landed in a name column), `ambiguous_pair` (two given names → likely two people, not auto-split). Review highest-impact categories first; add decisions to `overrides/names.csv`. |
+```
+
+If the README has no such row (older version), add the row above to the review-file table.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add a note** to the iteration-loop section of `README.md` (after the table):
+
+```markdown
+> `unresolved-names.csv` is the focused "names that need a human" list — distinct from
+> `unmatched-names.csv` (which is just non-family correspondents that got provisional persons).
+> The given-name set that drives `ambiguous_pair` detection is the register's first names plus
+> `config.EXTRA_GIVEN_NAMES` — add names there if a real two-person cell isn't being flagged.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the suite is still green** (README-only change, but confirm nothing references the old file)
+
+Run: `cd tools/import-normalizer && .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -q && cd -`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add tools/import-normalizer/README.md
+git commit -m "docs(normalizer): document unresolved-names.csv review report"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-Review
+
+**Spec coverage** (against the agreed proposal):
+- Focused report isolating problem name classes → Task 4 writes `review/unresolved-names.csv` with a `category` column; categories defined in Task 2 `classify_name`. ✓
+- Fix ambiguous over-flagging of `First Surname` → Task 2 `AMBIGUOUS_PAIR` requires *both* tokens in the given-name set; `Mieze Schefold` → `RESOLVABLE` (tested). ✓
+- Distinguish "not fully known" (unknown/single-token/relational/collective/prose) from "can't split cleanly" (ambiguous_pair) → all are `NameClass` values, each its own category column value. ✓
+- Per-category counts in summary → Task 4 stats. ✓
+- Senders covered too (not just receivers) → classification happens in `resolve_one`, which both `resolve_sender` and `resolve_receivers` call. ✓
+
+**Placeholder scan:** No TBD/TODO; every code step has complete code. The README replacement gives the exact row text.
+
+**Type consistency:** `NameClass` (StrEnum) defined Task 2; `classify_name(raw, given_names)` and `build_given_names(register, extra)` signatures used consistently in Task 4; `ResolutionContext(alias_index, name_overrides, given_names=…)` matches the new `__init__`; `self.unresolved` is `list[tuple]` of `(raw, category, source_row)` and read with that shape in both the report and the stats. `str(category)` yields the StrEnum value (e.g. `"ambiguous_pair"`), matching the stat comparisons and the test assertions.
+
+**Cross-task green:** Task 4 deliberately bundles the `persons.py` + `normalize.py` + test changes into one commit because removing `ctx.ambiguous` breaks its consumer otherwise — no red commit is left behind (lesson from the prior build).
+
+**Out of scope (future):** Spanish month names + `Mon DD-YYYY` date form (separate date-parser enhancement); promoting `unresolved` rows into a document-level `needs_review` flag; auto-splitting confirmed `ambiguous_pair` entries via overrides.

+# Import Migration — Working Folder
+
+This folder tracks the iterative work of mass-importing the **real, raw family archive**
+spreadsheets (≈7,600 letter rows + ~7,000 PDFs that arrive later) into Familienarchiv.
+
+It is intentionally **local docs, not Gitea issues**. We only open a Gitea issue when a
+finding requires a *software* change (e.g. a new date parser). Pure data observations and
+the running plan live here so any agent can pick the work up cold.
+
+## Source files (in `/import`)
+
+| File | What it is | Importer support today |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `zzfamilienarchiv aktuell  2 - Kopie 2025-07-05.xlsx` | The **real raw archive** — 7,943 rows, sheet `Familienarchiv`. Human-readable, dates as written in the letters. | ❌ layout does **not** match importer defaults |
+| `Personendatei 2.xlsx` | Genealogical **person register** — 163 people, sheet `Tabelle1` (maiden names, birth/death, marriages, relationships). | ❌ no importer at all |
+| `zzfamilienarchiv Walter und Eugenie 2025-04-10.ods` | A small, **already-normalized** subset (Walter & Eugenie brautbriefe). 14 clean columns incl. ISO dates. | ✅ this is what `MassImportService` was built for |
+
+The PDFs (~7,000) will follow later. The importer matches files by the **Index** column
+(e.g. `W-0001` → `W-0001.pdf`), and already imports metadata-only when a file is missing —
+so we can import all metadata now and the PDFs will attach on a re-run.
+
+## How to inspect the spreadsheets
+
+`openpyxl` is installed in the OCR service venv:
+
+```bash
+/home/marcel/Desktop/familienarchiv/ocr-service/.venv/bin/python3 -c "import openpyxl; print(openpyxl.__version__)"

+
+## Strategy (decided 2026-05-25)
+
+Normalize **before** import. A standalone Python tool (`tools/import-normalizer/`, not yet
+built) transforms the raw xlsx + person register into a clean canonical dataset
+(`canonical-documents.xlsx`, `canonical-persons.xlsx`) plus review CSVs. Residual cases
+(unparseable dates, unmatched names) are fixed via a version-controlled overrides file and
+re-run. The Java importer is adjusted to consume the canonical contract in a later **Phase 2**.
+See the spec for the full contract.

+names in `self.unresolved`; orchestrator writes `review/unresolved-names.csv` (replaces the noisy
+`ambiguous-receivers.csv`) with per-category stats.
+
+**Why:** `unmatched-names.csv` mixes boring non-family correspondents (expected) with genuinely
+unresolvable entries. The new report isolates the latter so review focuses on ~440 real cases.
+
+**Real-run result:** unresolved-names.csv = single_token 191 / prose 103 / unknown 74 /
+collective 46 / relational 21 / ambiguous_pair **5** (distinct). The ambiguous over-flagging fix
+cut `ambiguous_pair` from 303 → 5 (genuine two-given-name pairs only; `Mieze Schefold` etc. now
+correctly RESOLVABLE). given-name set = register first names ∪ `config.EXTRA_GIVEN_NAMES`.
+
+**Next:** populate `overrides/names.csv` from unresolved-names.csv (highest-count first); extend
+`EXTRA_GIVEN_NAMES` if a real pair isn't flagged; still-open date work (Spanish months, 58–72 band).
+
+---
+
+## 2026-05-25 (session 4) — Built the normalizer (subagent-driven, all 17 tasks)
+
+**Did:** Executed the plan subagent-driven (implementer + spec review + code-quality review per
+task). The tool `tools/import-normalizer/` is **complete and passing (57 tests)**. Final
+opus review: **READY** — determinism verified on the real corpus (two runs → identical cell
+matrices + byte-identical review files), zero silent drops.
+
+**Per-task code review caught & fixed real issues** (all in the committed code): leading
+qualifiers `nach/vor/…` now → APPROX; English month-first matcher hardened to structurally
+not shadow `Mai 1895`; person-id collision de-dup suffixes *all* members; `split_receivers`
+returns `[]` for a `geb.`-only cell; boolean cells no longer coerced to `1/0`; duplicate-index
+flags every occurrence; provisional ids never steal a register id; CSV-injection defanged.
+
+**REAL DRY-RUN** (`python normalize.py` over the actual archive — outputs are gitignored):
+- documents_emitted **7,582** (+225 empty +93 blank-index +42 x-suffix = 7,942 rows read, 0 dropped)
+- register_persons **163**, provisional_persons **942**
+- dates: DAY 6,509 / MONTH 36 / RANGE 36 / APPROX 28 / YEAR 17 / SEASON 1 / UNKNOWN 955
+- **unknown_date_rate 9.2%** (of dated rows; target ≤5% pre-override, ≤0.5% after overrides)
+- duplicate_index 85, index_file_mismatches 550, ambiguous_receivers 303
+
+**⚠️ Concurrency incident:** a parallel Claude session committed reader-dashboard work to this
+branch and hard-reset it mid-execution, deleting the Task 15 files and orphaning a commit.
+Recovered via reflog (`reset --hard 366b4848` + `checkout 401160e3 -- <task15 files>`); no code
+lost. Casualty: my *during-execution* edits to the plan/spec docs (02/03) for Tasks 5–14 were
+discarded — **the committed code + tests are the source of truth**, not the plan doc, which now
+reflects the pre-execution + persona-review version.
+
+**Next steps (iterative refinement — the overrides loop, as designed):**
+1. Shave the 9.2% UNKNOWN cheaply: add **Spanish month names** (Enero…Diciembre) and the
+   `Mon DD-YYYY` dash form to `config.MONTHS`/the parser (Mexican-branch correspondence);
+   revisit the 58–72 two-digit-year band (real `…58/59/60` dates = 1958–1960, just past the
+   1873–1957 window — decide whether to extend the upper bound in `config`).
+2. `?` (99×) is genuinely "date unknown" — leave UNKNOWN or add a convention.
+3. Populate `overrides/dates.csv` + `overrides/names.csv` from the review CSVs and re-run.
+4. README note: a leading `'`/`!` in a `review/*.csv` `raw` cell may be a CSV-defang artifact —
+   match against the true source value when writing overrides.
+5. Phase 2 (separate spec): wire the canonical contract into the Java `MassImportService`.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-05-25 (session 3) — Implementation plan + persona review
+
+**Did:**
+- Wrote [`03-normalizer-implementation-plan.md`](./03-normalizer-implementation-plan.md): 17
+  bite-sized TDD tasks for `tools/import-normalizer/` (Python, openpyxl), bottom-up — date
+  parser w/ Easter computus first, then persons/alias, ingest, mapping, orchestrator, writers.
+- Ran a 6-persona inline review (architect, developer, tester, req-engineer, security, devops;
+  ui-expert too) via parallel agents. Acted on all material findings.
+
+**Key fixes from review (see plan §"Review feedback incorporated"):**
+- Idempotency redefined byte-identical → **content-deterministic** (spec G4/NFR-IDEM-01);
+  pinned workbook timestamps + deterministic alias ordering + a real two-run equality test.
+- Real bug: duplicate-index only reported repeats → now flags/reports every occurrence.
+- Provisional `person_id` could overwrite a register id → now suffixed.
+- Date parser gaps: invalid-calendar-date → UNKNOWN, intra-month day-range (`7./8. Sept.1923`).
+- Multi-person sender now split + flagged (REQ-PERS-01); CSV-injection defanged in review files;
+  pinned deps + hardened root `.gitignore`.
+
+**Next:**
+- Marcel reviews the plan. Then execute it (subagent-driven or inline) — the date parser
+  (Task 3/8 + Easter computus) is the meatiest piece.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-05-25 (session 2) — Strategy + normalizer spec
+
+**Did:**
+- Decided strategy with Marcel: **normalize the raw sheets first**, then import (higher
+  leverage than making the Java importer tolerate every mess).
+- Locked design decisions (see spec §3): new canonical layout; dates = parsed + raw +
+  precision; include person register + dedup in this effort; overrides-file + re-run loop;
+  Python tool at `tools/import-normalizer/`.
+- Century rule fixed by Marcel: archive spans **1873–1957**; 2-digit `00–57`→19YY,
+  `73–99`→18YY, `58–72`→flag; 3-digit→1DDD; never 20xx.
+- Wrote [`02-normalization-spec.md`](./02-normalization-spec.md) in the requirements-engineer
+  persona (FR/NFR, Given-When-Then ACs, traceability to IMP-NN, TBD register).
+
+**All 6 open questions resolved (spec §9):** OQ-01 — movable feasts (Ostern, Pfingsten, …)
+**computed per year from Easter**, never a fixed month; seasons → mid-season month
+(Sommer=Jul, Herbst=Oct). OQ-02 ranges → start+RANGE. OQ-03 slug ids. OQ-04 — `x`-suffix rows
+**skipped + logged** this pass (they're transcriptions of the base letter, not yet mappable).
+OQ-05 → `.xlsx`. OQ-06 → conservative, no silent merge.
+
+**Git:** moved off the unrelated `feat/issue-356-…` branch; pulled `main`; created clean
+branch **`docs/import-migration`** and committed these docs there. (The dirty `.venv`
+pycache + `skills/implement/SKILL.md` in the tree are pre-existing/environmental noise — left
+uncommitted, not ours.)
+
+**Next:**
+- Marcel reviews the spec.
+- Then writing-plans → build the normalizer at `tools/import-normalizer/` (backlog B1–B7 are
+  the Musts; B3 date parser incl. Easter computus is the big one).
+
+---
+
+## 2026-05-25 (session 1) — Initial analysis
+
+**Did:**
+- Got the real raw archive xlsx (7,943 rows) + person register (163 people). PDFs to follow.
+- Compared the new xlsx layout against `MassImportService` defaults and the old ODS.
+- Full statistical scan of all rows: dates, indices, senders/receivers, file column.
+- Wrote [`01-findings-spreadsheet-analysis.md`](./01-findings-spreadsheet-analysis.md)
+  with 12 issues (IMP-01..IMP-12) + recommended sequencing.
+- Installed `openpyxl` into the OCR service venv for inspection.
+
+**Key facts established:**
+- Importer defaults match the **ODS**, not the new xlsx → wrong column mapping (IMP-01).
+- **90%** of dated rows (6,571 / 7,319) are free-text dates the ISO-only parser drops (IMP-02).
+- Person register is rich but **unimported**; holds the maiden-name dedup key (IMP-04/05).
+
+**Decisions pending from Marcel (blockers for any code work):**
+1. IMP-01: positional re-config of `app.import.col.*` vs header-driven mapping rewrite?
+2. IMP-02: how to store imprecise dates — new `dateOriginal` + `precision` columns, or lossy?
+3. IMP-04/05: format for the person/alias mapping; import persons before documents?
+4. IMP-10: are `x`-suffix rows separate documents, attachments, or skipped?
+
+**Next:**
+- Get Marcel's calls on the 4 decisions above.
+- Then split the code-change items into Gitea issues (IMP-01b, IMP-02, IMP-04, IMP-06, IMP-12).
+- Pure-data tasks (IMP-07 dup list, IMP-09 file reconcile) stay here.

+# Personendatei Importer — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-25
+**Source file:** `import/Personendatei 2.xlsx`
+**Output:** `tools/import-normalizer/out/canonical-persons-tree.json`
+**Tool location:** `tools/import-normalizer/persons_tree.py`
+
+---
+
+## 1. Purpose
+
+Normalize the 163-person family register in `Personendatei 2.xlsx` into a machine-readable JSON file that a future backend importer can consume to seed the `persons` and `person_relationships` tables. The tool is offline (no backend required) and produces a reviewable artifact with an explicit `unresolved[]` list for manual follow-up.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Source Data — Column Map
+
+Sheet: `Tabelle1` (rows 2–164; row 1 is the header).
+
+| Col | Header | Content | Notes |
+|-----|--------|---------|-------|
+| A | Generation | `G 0`–`G 5` | Generation relative to Herbert & Clara Cram (G 2). Inconsistent formatting: `"G3"`, `"G  0"`, `"G 2         de Gruyter"` — strip non-digit chars and parse the integer. |
+| B | Familienname | Last name | Sometimes compound: `"de Gruyter"`, `"Cram Heydrich"`, `"Burkhard-  Meier"` |
+| C | Vorname | First name | Sometimes multiple: `"Charlotte,Meta,Jacobi"`, nicknames in parens: `"Otto (Herbert)"` |
+| D | geb als | Maiden name | Used as a name alias for matching |
+| E | Geburtsdatum | Birth date | **Mixed types** — see §4 |
+| F | Geburtsort | Birth place | Free-text string, stored verbatim |
+| G | Todesdatum | Death date | Same mixed types as col E |
+| H | Sterbeort | Death place | Free-text string, stored verbatim |
+| I | verheiratet mit | Spouse name | Partial name in either `"Firstname Lastname"` or `"Lastname Firstname"` order |
+| J | Bemerkung | German relationship notes | `"Sohn v Clara u Herbert"`, `"Nichte v Herbert"`, free text |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Two-Pass Architecture
+
+### Pass 1 — Parse & Normalize (rows → person records)
+
+For each row:
+1. Read all 10 columns.
+2. Assign a stable `rowId`: `"row_{i:03d}"` where `i` is the 1-based row number (e.g. `row_002`).
+3. Normalize fields per §4 and §5.
+4. Build the **name-lookup index** (see §6).
+5. Emit a person record.
+
+### Pass 2 — Resolve Relationships
+
+Walk every person record:
+1. Resolve col I (spouse) → emit `SPOUSE_OF` edge or `unresolved` entry.
+2. Parse col J (Bemerkung) for parent/child patterns → emit `PARENT_OF` edges or `unresolved` entries.
+3. Append unmatched Bemerkung text to `person.notes`.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Date Parsing
+
+Both col E (birth) and col G (death) arrive as either an Excel numeric serial or a string.
+
+### Excel serial conversion
+When the cell value is an integer (or a float with no string representation):
+```
+date = datetime(1899, 12, 30) + timedelta(days=int(value))
+year = date.year
+```
+Excel's epoch is 1899-12-30 (accounts for the Lotus 1-2-3 leap-year bug).
+
+### String fallback — reuse existing `dates.parse_date()`
+Pass the raw string to the existing `tools/import-normalizer/dates.parse_date()`. It already handles:
+- `DD.MM.YYYY` and `D.M.YY`
+- Year-only (`1930`)
+- Month + year (`August 1941`, `Sept. 1913`)
+- Partial/approximate markers
+
+Extract `.year` from the returned `ParsedDate.iso` if `iso` is not `None`.
+
+### Unresolvable dates
+If both paths yield `None` (e.g. `"2.9.196"`, `"4.3.1023"`, `".12.1955"`):
+- Set `birthYear`/`deathYear` to `null`.
+- Append the raw value to `person.notes` as `"[Geburtsdatum: <raw>]"` or `"[Todesdatum: <raw>]"` for human review.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Person Record Normalization
+
+### Name fields
+- **lastName** = col B, stripped.
+- **firstName** = col C. Keep as-is (including multi-name strings and parenthetical nicknames) — the backend can split later.
+- **maidenName** = col D, stripped. Stored in the JSON; the backend maps this to a `PersonNameAlias` of type `BIRTH_NAME`.
+- **alias** = `null` (the tool does not invent aliases; maiden name is the alias).
+
+### Generation
+Extract the first digit sequence from col A:
+```python
+import re
+m = re.search(r"\d+", raw_generation)
+generation = int(m.group()) if m else None
+```
+Handles all observed variants: `"G 3"`, `"G3"`, `"G  0"`, `"G 2         de Gruyter"`, `"G  0"`.
+Stored as `generation: int | null` in the JSON (informational; not mapped to a backend field directly).
+
+### familyMember
+Set `true` for all records. Every person in this register is part of the family network. The backend can refine this.
+
+### notes
+Constructed by concatenation:
+1. Unmatched Bemerkung text (after relationship pattern is stripped).
+2. Unresolvable date raw values (prefixed with field name).
+
+---
+
+## 6. Name Lookup Index
+
+After pass 1, build a `dict[str, list[str]]` mapping normalized name keys → list of `rowId`s.
+
+### Normalization function `_norm(s) -> str`
+1. Lowercase.
+2. Strip surrounding `"` and `'`.
+3. Remove parenthetical substrings: `r"\([^)]*\)"`.
+4. Collapse internal whitespace.
+5. Strip geographic/honorific suffixes: `aachen`, `mex.`, `mexiko`, `sen`, `jun`, `jr`.
+6. Strip trailing commas, dots.
+
+### Keys indexed per person
+For a person with firstName `F`, lastName `L`, maidenName `M`:
+- `_norm(f"{F} {L}")` — canonical order
+- `_norm(f"{L} {F}")` — reversed order (col I uses this heavily)
+- `_norm(f"{F} {M}")` if maidenName is set — maiden-name reference
+- `_norm(L)` alone — single-token fallback
+
+### Match resolution
+Given a raw name string from col I or col J:
+1. `_norm(raw)` → look up in index.
+2. **Exactly one hit** → match confirmed, use that `rowId`.
+3. **Zero hits** → `reason: "not_found"` → `unresolved[]`.
+4. **Multiple hits** → `reason: "ambiguous"` → `unresolved[]`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Relationship Extraction
+
+### 7.1 SPOUSE_OF (col I — `verheiratet mit`)
+
+1. Normalize col I value.
+2. Resolve via name index (§6).
+3. If matched: emit one edge `{ personId, relatedPersonId, type: "SPOUSE_OF", source: "verheiratet_mit" }`.
+   - Skip if an identical edge (regardless of direction) already exists in the relationship list.
+4. If unresolved: add to `unresolved[]`.
+
+### 7.2 PARENT_OF (col J — `Bemerkung`)
+
+Apply these regex patterns in order, case-insensitive, with optional whitespace:
+
+| Pattern | Direction | Note |
+|---------|-----------|------|
+| `(Sohn\|Tochter)\s+v(?:on)?\s+(.+)` | Named person(s) → this person | "Sohn v Clara u Herbert" |
+| `(Vater\|Mutter)\s+v(?:on)?\s+(.+)` | This person → named person(s) | "Vater v Herbert" |
+
+**Multi-parent extraction:** The parent string may contain two parents joined by `\s+u(?:nd)?\s+`. Split on this pattern, resolve each part independently.
+
+**Emit** one `PARENT_OF` edge per resolved parent:
+```json
+{
+  "personId": "<parent_rowId>",
+  "relatedPersonId": "<child_rowId>",
+  "type": "PARENT_OF",
+  "source": "bemerkung",
+  "rawBemerkung": "<original col J value>"
+}
+```
+
+**Skip** (do not emit, do not add to `unresolved[]`, leave in notes):
+- Patterns starting with `Neffe`, `Nichte`, `Enkel`, `Enkelin`, `Urenkel`, `Urenkelin` — too indirect.
+- Patterns starting with `Bruder`, `Schwester` — SIBLING_OF is out of scope for this tool.
+- Any other Bemerkung text that does not match the parent patterns.
+
+**After extraction:** the matched portion of the Bemerkung is removed; the remainder goes into `person.notes`.
+
+---

+## 9. CLI Interface
+

+```
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| `--input` | `../../import/Personendatei 2.xlsx` | Source Excel file |
+| `--output` | `out/canonical-persons-tree.json` | Output JSON file |

+---
+
+## 10. Module Reuse
+
+| Existing module | What we reuse |
+|-----------------|---------------|
+| `dates.parse_date()` | String date parsing — handles DD.MM.YYYY, year-only, month+year, approximate markers |
+| `config.MONTHS` | Month name → integer mapping (German + Spanish month names already present) |
+
+The Excel serial conversion is new logic added directly in `persons_tree.py` (3 lines).
+
+---
+
+## 11. What This Tool Does NOT Do
+
+- Does not call the backend API or touch the database.
+- Does not create `PersonNameAlias` records — it emits `maidenName` as a field; the future backend importer maps it.
+- Does not infer SIBLING_OF edges (requires symmetric lookup across multiple rows — deferred).
+- Does not deduplicate persons that appear in both this file and `canonical-persons.xlsx` — deduplication is the backend importer's responsibility.
+- Does produce `birthPlace` / `deathPlace` as top-level fields in the JSON (see §8) — they are free-text strings and informational only. The `Person` entity has no corresponding columns; the future backend importer decides whether to add columns or fold the values into `notes`.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Resolved Decisions
+
+| OQ | Question | Decision |
+|----|----------|----------|
+| OQ-01 | Duplicate rows (127/138 — Christa Schütz; 129/139 — Christoph Seils). | **Tool deduplicates.** On pass 1, after building the person list, detect rows with identical `(firstName, lastName, birthYear)` and keep only the first occurrence. Log skipped row ids to stdout. |
+| OQ-02 | `birthPlace` / `deathPlace` absent from `Person` entity. | **Keep as separate top-level fields** in the JSON (`birthPlace`, `deathPlace`). The future backend importer may add columns to the `persons` table; the field is preserved here to avoid data loss. |
+| OQ-03 | `firstName` = `"Charlotte,Meta,Jacobi"` (multi-name comma string). | **Store verbatim as `firstName`.** No splitting. |
