docs(adr): record title-length guard obligation for #775

title is VARCHAR(255) with no planned service-level check; ADR-040's
consequences listed the optimistic-lock and forgery obligations for #775 but
not this one, so an over-long title would have surfaced as a raw
DataIntegrityViolationException -> HTTP 500. Mirrors GESCHICHTE_TITLE_TOO_LONG.

Lifecycle: `DRAFT → PUBLISHED` (see `GeschichteStatus`). DRAFT stories are hidden from users without the `BLOG_WRITE` permission.
+
+**JourneyItem** (`JourneyItem`, table `journey_items`) `[internal]` — a document attachment or editorial note belonging to a `Geschichte` of either subtype. JOURNEY-type Geschichten use items for their ordered reading sequence; STORY-type Geschichten use items to attach referenced documents (no type guard is enforced at the application layer — both subtypes share this table). Either document-backed (`document_id IS NOT NULL`) or a note-only interlude (`note IS NOT NULL`). Ordered by `position` (step of 10; max 100 items per Geschichte). A DEFERRABLE UNIQUE constraint on `(geschichte_id, position)` allows atomic position swaps in the same transaction. A CHECK constraint ensures at least one of `document_id` or `note` is present. The FK to `documents` uses `ON DELETE SET NULL`, so deleting a document preserves the item (with `document_id = null`). See ADR-037.

+**Interlude / Zwischentext** `[user-facing]` — an editorial paragraph inserted between document items in a *Lesereise*. An interlude is a `JourneyItem` with `document_id IS NULL` and a non-empty `note`; its content is a plain-text string stored in the `note` column (not `body` or `text`). Visually distinguished by `--color-interlude-bg/border/label` CSS tokens and a `ZWISCHENTEXT` label. Interludes cannot have their note removed (removing the interlude deletes the entire item).

Carries the same date block as a `Document` (`eventDate` + `precision` + nullable `eventDateEnd`) so events and letters render through one path, plus a `title`, optional `description`, an `EventType`, and `ManyToMany` links to the `Person`s it involves and the `Document`s that support it (both join FKs `ON DELETE CASCADE`). Diverges from `Document` with an optimistic-lock `@Version` and a NOT NULL `createdBy`/`updatedBy` audit trail (bare UUIDs, no FK to `app_users`) for the multi-curator edit flow. Two DB CHECKs: `event_date_end` is non-null **iff** precision is `RANGE` (a strict biconditional, intentionally tighter than `Document`'s open-ended ranges), and `precision` is never `UNKNOWN` (a curated event always has at least a year; `SEASON`/`APPROX` stay legal). See ADR-040.
+
+**EventType** (`EventType`) `[user-facing]` — the kind of a `TimelineEvent`: `PERSONAL` (a family event, rendered with the family accent) or `HISTORICAL` (world/historical context, rendered with a muted world accent). The string value names are a stable frontend styling contract — renaming requires a coordinated frontend change (ADR-040).
+
+**Zeitstrahl** `[user-facing]` — the family timeline view, rendering curated `TimelineEvent`s (and, in later issues, derived life-events) chronologically. The milestone home of the `timeline` domain.
 
 **Notification** (`Notification`) — an in-app message delivered to an `AppUser`. No email or SMS delivery exists today. Delivered via Server-Sent Events (`SseEmitterRegistry`) and persisted in the `notifications` table.

+# ADR-035 — `Optional<String>` for three-way PATCH semantics
+
+**Status:** Accepted  
+**Date:** 2026-06-08  
+**Issue:** #751 (JourneyItem CRUD API)
+
+## Context
+
+The `PATCH /api/geschichten/{id}/items/{itemId}` endpoint must distinguish three cases for the `note` field:
+
+| JSON body         | Intended meaning      |
+|-------------------|-----------------------|
+| `{"note": "text"}`| Set note to "text"    |
+| `{"note": null}`  | Clear the note        |
+| `{}` (absent)     | Leave note unchanged  |
+
+The standard library for this on Jackson 2.x is `jackson-databind-nullable` (`JsonNullable<T>` from `org.openapitools`). However, that library targets `com.fasterxml.jackson.*` (Jackson 2.x) and is incompatible with Spring Boot 4.0 / Spring Framework 7, which uses `tools.jackson.*` (Jackson 3.x). The module fails to register and throws at startup.
+
+## Decision
+
+Use `Optional<String>` with Java's default field initializer (`= null`) to encode the three states:
+
+```java
+@Data
+public class JourneyItemUpdateDTO {
+    private Optional<String> note = null;  // Java default — absent = no-op
+}
+```
+
+| Java value         | JSON wire         | Semantics     |
+|--------------------|-------------------|---------------|
+| `null` (default)   | field absent      | no-op         |
+| `Optional.empty()` | `{"note": null}`  | clear         |
+| `Optional.of("x")` | `{"note": "x"}`   | set           |
+
+Jackson 3.x natively maps a JSON `null` to `Optional.empty()` and leaves absent fields at their Java default. No custom module is needed.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- No external dependency for PATCH semantics — simpler pom.xml.
+- The DTO field type is `Optional<String>`, not `String` — service code must null-check the field first (`if (noteField == null) return;`) and then call `.orElse(null)` to unwrap.
+- This pattern applies to any future PATCH DTO that needs three-way semantics on a nullable field.
+- `jackson-databind-nullable` is removed from `pom.xml`; `JacksonConfig.java` is kept as a placeholder for future custom modules.

+The project convention (CLAUDE.md §DTOs) has been: *"Response types are the model
+entities themselves (no response DTOs)."* That convention assumed entities whose
+associations are either eager or initialized by the time Jackson serializes.
+
+The lazy-fetch migration (ADR-022, `open-in-view: false`) broke that assumption:
+Jackson serializes **after** the service transaction has closed, so any lazy
+collection on a returned entity is a dead proxy. `Geschichte.items` (added with the
+Lesereisen data model, #750) made this concrete: every `PATCH /api/geschichten/{id}`
+(save draft, publish) failed with HTTP 500
+`LazyInitializationException: Geschichte.items … (no session)`.
+
+Per-endpoint force-initialization (`g.getItems().size()` inside the transaction)
+worked for `getById()` but is a footgun: every new write method must remember the
+trick, the entity carries a warning comment nobody reads, and the raw entity also
+leaks the `author` `AppUser` graph (email, password hash, groups).
+
+## Decision
+
+In the **geschichte domain**, controllers never return entities. Every response is a
+purpose-built read model assembled **inside** the service transaction:
+
+- `GET /api/geschichten` → `GeschichteSummary` (projection; never carries items;
+  author exposes names only — never email)
+- `GET /api/geschichten/{id}` → `GeschichteView` (with `AuthorView`, `PersonView`,
+  `JourneyItemView` items)
+- `POST /api/geschichten`, `PATCH /api/geschichten/{id}` → `GeschichteView`
+- JourneyItem endpoints → `JourneyItemView`
+
+The invariant: **entities never cross the controller boundary in this domain.**
+A view is constructed while the Hibernate session is open, so serialization can
+never touch a lazy proxy, and the response shape is an explicit, security-reviewed
+contract.
+
+## Alternatives rejected
+
+- **`@Transactional` on read/write methods + force-init (`getItems().size()`)** —
+  fixes one endpoint at a time, silently regresses when the next write method is
+  added, and still serializes the raw `AppUser` author graph.
+- **`open-in-view: true`** — re-opens the session during rendering; hides N+1
+  queries and couples the HTTP layer to Hibernate session lifetime. Rejected
+  already by ADR-022.
+- **Jackson `@JsonIgnore` on lazy fields** — loses the data the client needs
+  (items ARE the journey) instead of loading it deliberately.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- CLAUDE.md §DTOs names the geschichte domain as the exception to the
+  entities-as-responses convention. Other domains (document, person, tag) still
+  return entities; they predate ADR-022's lazy collections on their hot paths and
+  migrate opportunistically when they grow lazy collections of their own.
+- `npm run generate:api` must run after any view change — the generated
+  `Geschichte` schema no longer exists; frontend consumers use
+  `GeschichteView`/`GeschichteSummary`.
+- New geschichte endpoints must add a view (or extend an existing one), not return
+  the entity. The regression guards are `GeschichteHttpTest`
+  (`update_returns_200_and_serializes_items_open_in_view_false`) and
+  `GeschichteListProjectionTest`.

+# ADR-037 — `journey_items` serves both STORY and JOURNEY Geschichte subtypes
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-06-11
+**Issue:** #795 (restore document management for STORY-type Geschichten), PR #804 review
+
+## Context
+
+V72 added the `journey_items` table as the backing store for Lesereisen (JOURNEY-type
+Geschichten). At the same time, the previous `geschichten_documents` join table was
+dropped (#753) and the restoration of a STORY-level document attachment mechanism was
+deferred to a future issue.
+
+`JourneyItemService.append()` contained an application-level type guard that rejected
+`append()` calls on STORY-type Geschichten with `GESCHICHTE_TYPE_MISMATCH`. This guard
+was the only place where the STORY restriction was encoded — the database schema never
+enforced it (no CHECK constraint, no partial index on `type='JOURNEY'`).
+
+When #795 restored document attachment for STORY-type Geschichten, the type guard was
+the only obstacle. Two implementation paths were considered:
+
+1. Keep an allowlist (`if type not in (JOURNEY, STORY) throw ...`) — dead code today
+   because `GeschichteType` is a two-constant enum; the branch can never be reached and
+   would fail the JaCoCo branch-coverage gate.
+2. Delete the guard entirely — the schema never encoded the restriction; deleting dead
+   application logic rather than replacing it with more dead logic.
+
+Path 2 was chosen.
+
+## Decision
+
+`journey_items` is the document-attachment mechanism for **both** `STORY` and `JOURNEY`
+subtypes. No application-level type guard governs which subtype may hold items. The only
+behavioral difference between the two subtypes' use of items is at the UI layer:
+
+- JOURNEY: items form an ordered reading sequence rendered as a *Lesereise*.
+- STORY: items are a set of attached reference documents rendered as a sidebar panel.
+
+Both subtypes share the same capacity cap (100 items), dedup index, position semantics,
+and DEFERRABLE constraint — enforced at the database layer, not re-implemented per subtype.
+
+The `GESCHICHTE_TYPE_MISMATCH` error code was removed end-to-end (backend enum,
+frontend `ErrorCode` type + `getErrorMessage()` case, all three locale files).
+`GESCHICHTE_TYPE_IMMUTABLE` is unrelated and was left intact.
+
+## Naming asymmetry (intentional)
+
+The error codes `JOURNEY_AT_CAPACITY` and `JOURNEY_DOCUMENT_ALREADY_ADDED` carry
+journey-flavored names. Renaming them would ripple through `ErrorCode.java`, `errors.ts`,
+and three locale files for zero behavior change. `StoryDocumentPanel` remaps these two
+codes to story-worded user messages at the presentation layer — the asymmetry is a
+documented decision, not an accident.
+
+## Alternatives rejected
+
+- **Separate `story_documents` join table for STORY** — creates two nearly-identical
+  schemas for the same concept (document attachment with dedup and ordering), doubles the
+  migration surface, and splits the capacity/dedup logic. Rejected as unnecessary
+  duplication.
+- **Allowlist type guard (`if type not in (JOURNEY, STORY)`)** — unreachable dead code
+  under a two-constant enum; fails the JaCoCo branch gate. Rejected.
+- **Per-subtype application validation** — the schema never encoded the restriction; an
+  application-only rule with no schema backing is the weakest kind of invariant and was
+  removed when the product decision reversed it.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `JourneyItemService.append()` accepts items for any `Geschichte`, regardless of subtype.
+  The 100-item cap and dedup constraint apply to all.
+- GLOSSARY.md and ARCHITECTURE.md updated to reflect that `JourneyItem` is not
+  JOURNEY-specific.
+- The `l3-backend-3g-supporting.puml` C4 diagram updated: type-guard language removed,
+  `geschQuerySvc` rel label reads "Checks Geschichte existence" (not "and type").
+- `StoryDocumentPanel.svelte` is the STORY-side consumer; `JourneyEditor.svelte` is the
+  JOURNEY-side consumer. Neither is aware of the other.
+- Known pre-existing constraint conflict: `ON DELETE SET NULL` on `journey_items.document_id`
+  combined with `chk_journey_item_not_empty` causes a DB-level 500 when a document linked
+  via a note-less item is deleted. Pre-existing; tracked in follow-up issue.

+# ADR-038 — Domain event drives note-less journey-item cleanup on document delete
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-06-11
+**Issue:** #805 (P1 — deleting a document linked via a note-less journey_item 500s at DB constraint)
+
+## Context
+
+Two constraints in V72 encode contradictory rules for a journey item that has a
+`document_id` but no `note`:
+
+- **`fk_journey_items_document` → `ON DELETE SET NULL`** — when a document is deleted,
+  Postgres nulls out `document_id`.
+- **`chk_journey_item_not_empty`** — requires at least one of `document_id` or `note`
+  to be non-null.
+
+A note-less item (`document_id` set, `note IS NULL`) satisfies the CHECK while the
+document exists. Deleting the document causes Postgres to attempt `SET NULL`, which
+would leave both columns null — a direct CHECK violation. Postgres aborts the
+transaction with a 500 that bypasses `GlobalExceptionHandler`.
+
+The natural fix — delete note-less items inside `DocumentService.deleteDocument` before
+`deleteById` runs — cannot call `JourneyItemService` directly: `JourneyItemService`
+already injects `DocumentService`, and Spring Framework 7 (used by Spring Boot 4)
+**fully prohibits constructor-injection cycles**. The application will not start if such
+a cycle is introduced.
+
+## Decision
+
+`DocumentService.deleteDocument` publishes a **`DocumentDeletingEvent`** (plain record,
+payload: `documentId` UUID only) via `ApplicationEventPublisher` **before**
+`documentRepository.deleteById`. A dedicated `@Component`
+`JourneyItemDocumentDeleteListener` in the `geschichte.journeyitem` package consumes
+this event and calls `journeyItemRepository.deleteNoteLessByDocumentId(documentId)`
+directly — bypassing `JourneyItemService` to avoid re-introducing the cycle and to
+suppress the per-item `JOURNEY_ITEM_REMOVED` audit emission (see audit decision below).
+
+### Load-bearing listener-phase choice: plain `@EventListener`
+
+The listener is annotated with `@EventListener` (not
+`@TransactionalEventListener(AFTER_COMMIT)`, not `@Async`). **This choice is
+load-bearing:**
+
+- **`AFTER_COMMIT` would break the fix entirely.** `AFTER_COMMIT` fires *after* the
+  surrounding transaction has committed. By that point, `documentRepository.deleteById`
+  has already executed and Postgres has already tried `ON DELETE SET NULL` — the
+  constraint violation fires before the listener ever runs.
+- **`@Async` would break rollback atomicity (AC-5).** An async listener runs on a
+  separate thread in its own transaction. If `deleteDocument` subsequently rolls back
+  (e.g. due to an unrelated failure), the listener's deletes are in a committed async
+  transaction and cannot be undone.
+- **Plain `@EventListener` runs synchronously in the publisher's thread and
+  transaction.** The listener's JPQL delete and the `deleteById` are a single atomic
+  unit: if either fails, both roll back together.
+
+### Repository method
+
+```java
+@Modifying(clearAutomatically = true)
+@Query("DELETE FROM JourneyItem i WHERE i.document.id = :documentId AND (i.note IS NULL OR i.note = '')")
+int deleteNoteLessByDocumentId(@Param("documentId") UUID documentId);
+```
+
+`i.document.id` (the real association path) is used instead of `i.documentId`: the
+transient `getDocumentId()` getter on `JourneyItem` makes Spring Data unable to resolve
+a derived query path (same trap documented at `JourneyItemRepository:33-44`).
+
+`clearAutomatically = true` invalidates the L1 cache so subsequent reads in the same
+session do not return stale entities.
+
+The predicate `(note IS NULL OR note = '')` covers the `note = ''` edge case that the
+service layer can never produce (normalizeNote converts blank strings to null), but that
+may exist via raw SQL inserts or legacy data. Whitespace-only notes (`note = '   '`)
+do not match and are preserved as note-carrying placeholders.
+
+### Audit decision
+
+The listener calls the repository directly rather than routing through
+`JourneyItemService.delete`. This deliberately bypasses the `JOURNEY_ITEM_REMOVED`
+audit emission: a document used in multiple journeys would otherwise produce N audit
+rows for a single user action. The `DOCUMENT_DELETED` entry written by `deleteDocument`
+is the sole audit record for the operation.
+
+### Boundary: documents must not depend on journey
+
+The event direction is `document → journey`, never the reverse. `DocumentService`
+publishes events it knows nothing about the consumers of; `JourneyItemService`'s
+dependency on `DocumentService` is unchanged and remains the only cross-domain
+reference. This direction is the prerequisite for the cycle constraint to hold.
+
+## Alternatives rejected
+
+- **DB trigger on `journey_items`** — trigger logic is opaque to Java developers,
+  invisible to code review, and not covered by the JPA test harness.
+- **RESTRICT instead of SET NULL** — breaks the existing note-carrying placeholder
+  UX: deleting a document with a note-carrying journey item would 409 instead of
+  preserving the item as a placeholder.
+- **Relax `chk_journey_item_not_empty`** — the constraint enforces a real invariant
+  (every item must have at least document or note). Removing it would allow empty rows.
+- **`@Lazy` on the `JourneyItemService → DocumentService` injection** — Spring Boot 4 /
+  Spring Framework 7 prohibits constructor-injection cycles regardless of `@Lazy`.
+- **Make `DocumentService` call `JourneyItemService`** — introduces the prohibited
+  cycle. Rejected at design time.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **No schema change** — no new Flyway migration, no `db-orm.puml` /
+  `db-relationships.puml` update.
+- This is the **first custom domain event** in the codebase. No prior
+  `ApplicationEventPublisher` usage existed in `main/`. New cross-domain cleanup that
+  cannot use direct service calls should follow this pattern.
+- All tests that delete documents and then assert journey-item state **must route
+  through `DocumentService.deleteDocument`**, not `documentRepository.deleteById`.
+  The existing `JourneyItemIntegrationTest` tests that covered the note-carrying
+  placeholder UX have been updated accordingly.
+- The `DOCUMENT_DELETED` `AuditKind` was added as part of this fix to give AC-7's
+  audit assertion a positive check (absence-only assertions pass vacuously if all
+  auditing regresses).

+# ADR-039 — Person life dates become LocalDate + DatePrecision
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-06-12
+**Issue:** #773 (Zeitstrahl milestone, foundational)
+
+## Context
+
+`Person` stored `birthYear`/`deathYear` as `Integer`. A known exact birthday
+(`1901-03-14`) had nowhere to live, and every display was stuck at year precision.
+The Zeitstrahl's derived life-events need real dates with precision metadata, and the
+document domain already solved exactly this problem with
+`Document.documentDate` + `metaDatePrecision`.
+
+V76 replaces the two integer columns with `birth_date`/`death_date` (`DATE`, nullable)
+plus `birth_date_precision`/`death_date_precision` (`VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL DEFAULT
+'UNKNOWN'`), backfilling existing years as `YYYY-01-01` at `YEAR` precision.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. `DatePrecision` stays in `document/` and is imported cross-domain
+
+The `person` package imports `org.raddatz.familienarchiv.document.DatePrecision`
+directly. The layering rule (controllers → services → own repository) governs
+service-to-repository coupling, **not** value-type sharing — an enum has no behaviour
+and no persistence side effects. Creating a `common/` package for one enum would be
+premature structure; if a third domain needs it, revisit then. The enum remains a
+verbatim mirror of the import normalizer's `Precision` values (ADR-025) — changes must
+stay in sync with `tools/import-normalizer/dates.py`.
+
+### 2. Precision columns are NOT NULL with default `UNKNOWN`
+
+Mirrors `Document.metaDatePrecision`. The illegal state "date present, precision null"
+cannot exist: the named CHECK constraints
+(`chk_person_birth_date_precision_coherence`, `…_values`,
+`chk_person_birth_before_death`, and the death-side twins) enforce
+`(date IS NULL) = (precision = 'UNKNOWN')` and the temporal order at the DB level;
+`PersonService.validateLifeDates` enforces the same rules first so users get a
+structured 400 (`INVALID_DATE_PRECISION` / `BIRTH_AFTER_DEATH`) instead of a
+constraint-violation 500.
+
+Storage accepts all seven `DatePrecision` values (enum-to-string mapping consistency),
+but the person new/edit form offers only **DAY / MONTH / YEAR** — `RANGE` and `SEASON`
+are semantically nonsensical for a birth or death, and `APPROX` is excluded from the
+form to reduce cognitive load for the senior author audience. Legacy `APPROX` rows
+still render correctly (display delegates to `formatDocumentDate`).
+
+The edit form seeds a stored non-offered precision (`APPROX`/`SEASON`/`RANGE`) into
+the select as `YEAR`, so an untouched save coerces it to `YEAR` ("ca. 1944" becomes
+"1944"). Accepted: nothing currently writes those precisions to persons (the form
+offers DAY/MONTH/YEAR, the importer writes YEAR/UNKNOWN, V76 backfills YEAR), so the
+case is only reachable via direct API writes — and seeding `YEAR` is strictly safer
+than the alternative of silently claiming `DAY` precision.
+
+### 3. Derived-year pattern for backward-compatible DTOs
+
+`PersonNodeDTO` (Stammbaum) and `RelationshipDTO` keep `Integer birthYear/deathYear`,
+derived null-safely in the relationship services (`birthDate != null ?
+birthDate.getYear() : null` — never 0, never empty string; REQ-PERSON-DATE-01). The
+native queries behind `PersonSummaryDTO` project
+`CAST(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM p.birth_date) AS int) AS birthYear`.
+
+### 4. `PersonSummaryDTO` intentionally exposes years only
+
+The person list/search views show year precision only; full precision lives on the
+person detail page. Do **not** add `LocalDate getBirthDate()` to the interface without
+updating all four native queries (`findAllWithDocumentCount`,
+`searchWithDocumentCount`, `findTopByDocumentCount`, `findByFilter`) — the interface
+projection is satisfied purely by the SQL SELECT aliases.
+
+### 5. `preferHumanDate` extends ADR-025's human-edit-preserve rule
+
+The importer stays year-shaped: `PersonUpsertCommand` keeps `Integer birthYear/
+deathYear` because the spreadsheet only knows a year — pushing `LocalDate` into the
+importer would fabricate precision. On upsert, `PersonService.preferHumanDate` returns
+a `DatePrecisionPair` record (date and precision travel as one value so they cannot go
+out of sync):
+
+- existing precision DAY/MONTH/SEASON/RANGE/APPROX → hand-entered, preserved verbatim;
+- existing precision YEAR/UNKNOWN → refreshed from the canonical year as
+  `YYYY-01-01` + `YEAR` (or cleared to null/`UNKNOWN` when the sheet has no year).
+
+The original integer/string `preferHuman` overloads remain for non-date fields.
+
+### 6. Known limitation — mixed-precision comparison
+
+`validateLifeDates` compares stored `LocalDate` values. A DAY-precision birth late in
+the same year as a YEAR-precision death (stored as Jan 1st) is rejected with
+`BIRTH_AFTER_DEATH`. This is intentional; the `error_birth_after_death` i18n message
+carries the workaround hint (enter the following year as the death year).
+
+## Consequences
+
+- V76 is one-way (columns dropped). Rollback = targeted `pg_restore -t persons` from
+  the pre-deploy dump — see `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md` §5.
+- Exact dates now render on person cards, hover cards, and the mention dropdown; the
+  Stammbaum and person list are visually unchanged.
+- The Zeitstrahl can derive birth/death life-events at full precision.

+# ADR-040 — Timeline domain data model
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-06-12
+**Issue:** #774 (Zeitstrahl milestone, foundational)
+
+## Context
+
+The Zeitstrahl (family timeline) needs a home for *curated* events — births,
+weddings, moves, and world-historical context a curator types in by hand, distinct
+from the OCR-derived `Document` letters. This ADR commits the new `timeline` domain's
+data model: the `TimelineEvent` entity, the `EventType` enum, a repository, and the
+V77 migration. No service, controller, or DTO ships here — those land in later issues.
+
+A `TimelineEvent` carries the same date block as `Document` (`eventDate` +
+`precision` + `eventDateEnd`) so events and letters render through one path, but its
+audit footprint deliberately diverges (see below).
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. New `timeline` domain package, separate from `geschichte`
+
+Curated timeline events are their own concern, not a Lesereise/`Geschichte` subtype.
+The domain owns `TimelineEvent`, `EventType`, and `TimelineEventRepository`.
+
+### 2. Responses (#775) will be views, not serialized entities
+
+`TimelineEvent` has two LAZY `ManyToMany` collections (`persons`, `documents`) and
+`open-in-view` is `false` — exactly the shape that motivated ADR-036 for `geschichte`.
+#775 must assemble `TimelineEventView`/`TimelineEventSummary` inside the service
+transaction; a serialized entity is a 500 waiting to happen. Decided up front so it is
+not retrofitted later.
+
+### 3. `precision` reuses `document.DatePrecision` — imported, not duplicated
+
+The `timeline` package imports `org.raddatz.familienarchiv.document.DatePrecision`
+directly, the same cross-domain value-type sharing ADR-039 established for `person`.
+An enum has no behaviour and no persistence side effects, so the layering rule
+(services → own repository) does not govern it. The enum stays a verbatim mirror of the
+import normalizer's `Precision` values (ADR-025); changes must stay in sync with
+`tools/import-normalizer/dates.py`. Moving `DatePrecision` into a shared package is a
+wider refactor (touching `Document`, `importing`, `person`) and its own future ADR.
+
+### 4. `precision = UNKNOWN` is forbidden; every other value is legal
+
+`eventDate` is NOT NULL — a curated event always has at least a year, so only OCR letters
+fall into the "Ohne Datum" bucket. The CHECK `chk_timeline_event_precision`
+(`date_precision <> 'UNKNOWN'`) forbids exactly that one value. `SEASON` ("Sommer 1914")
+and `APPROX` ("ca. 1914") are explicitly legal — family memory is full of both, and the
+spec's rendering table covers them. Do not narrow the CHECK to an allow-list; an
+over-tight constraint would force curators to fake `YEAR` and render dishonest dates.
+
+### 5. RANGE invariant is a strict biconditional at the DB, intentionally tighter than `Document`
+
+`chk_timeline_event_range` enforces `(date_precision = 'RANGE') = (event_date_end IS NOT
+NULL)` — `eventDateEnd` is non-null **iff** precision is `RANGE`, both directions. This is
+*stricter* than `Document`'s open-ended ranges (which allow a null end on a RANGE) because a
+curated event always has a known, closed end when it spans a range — it is authored, not
+inferred. This divergence is deliberate: a future "bug fix" must not relax it to match
+`Document`.
+
+### 6. Audit trail: `@Version` + NOT NULL `createdBy`/`updatedBy`, diverging from `Document`
+
+`Document` has neither a version nor a creator. A curated entity edited by multiple curators
+warrants real protection, so `TimelineEvent` adds:
+
+- `@Version Long version` — optimistic locking for the multi-curator edit flow (#775).
+  Object `Long` (not primitive) so it is `null` before first persist; Hibernate sets `0` on
+  insert. The service **must** catch `ObjectOptimisticLockingFailureException` and translate
+  it to `DomainException.conflict(...)`. Without that translation a concurrent-write conflict
+  surfaces as HTTP 500 with Hibernate internals in the body — information disclosure (CWE-209).
+- `createdBy`/`updatedBy` as bare `UUID`, `NOT NULL`, no FK to `app_users` (sidecar pattern,
+  matching `DocumentAnnotation`/`OcrJob`; keeps `timeline` decoupled from `user`, avoids
+  lazy-load surprises in the read-heavy assembly path). NOT NULL makes a curated event with no
+  author impossible — an audit gap closed at the schema level. `DocumentAnnotation.createdBy`
+  is nullable and has no `updatedBy`; the escalation here is deliberate because curated events
+  are multi-author. Curator display names resolve through `UserService` at render time.
+
+`updatedBy` is **not** advanced by `@UpdateTimestamp` — the service must set it from the
+session principal before every `save()`, or the timestamp moves while the "who" goes stale.
+
+### 7. `createdBy`/`updatedBy` are server-populated only — never bound from client input
+
+Both are set from the session principal in the service, never from a request body. Binding
+them from client input is an authorship-forgery / mass-assignment vector (CWE-639). #775's
+regression suite must include forgery cases on **both** write paths (`POST` body with
+`createdBy`, `PUT` body with `updatedBy`) — create and update are separate binding paths, so
+testing only one leaves half the vector open. The update test must assert `updatedBy` equals
+the *second* editor's UUID, not merely non-null.
+
+### 8. `EventType` string values are a stable frontend styling contract
+
+The Tailwind class map in the timeline Svelte components hard-codes `PERSONAL` (family accent)
+and `HISTORICAL` (muted world accent) as strings. There is no mapping layer — renaming either
+value requires a coordinated frontend change. Recorded here to prevent a silent regression.
+
+### 9. Explicit `@JoinTable` on both ManyToMany fields
+
+Without explicit `@JoinTable(name, joinColumns, inverseJoinColumns)`, Hibernate's naming
+strategy could diverge from the V77 DDL's explicit table/column names. Explicit mapping
+guarantees alignment and makes future column renames a deliberate, visible change. All four FK
+columns are `ON DELETE CASCADE`: deleting a Person or Document drops the join row and leaves
+the event intact (V71/ADR-032 hardening — a person delete must never 500).
+
+## Consequences
+
+- V77 is forward-only; rollback is manual DDL (`DROP TABLE` the two join tables, then
+  `timeline_events`). No rollback script, no rollback test.
+- The `timeline → document.DatePrecision` compile coupling is permanent until a shared-package
+  refactor; precedent already exists (`importing/DocumentImporter`, `person`).
+- The service/controller/DTO layer (#775) inherits the view-assembly, optimistic-lock
+  translation, forgery-guard, and permission obligations recorded above. It must also add a
+  service-level title-length check (new `ErrorCode`, e.g. `TIMELINE_TITLE_TOO_LONG`, mirroring
+  `GESCHICHTE_TITLE_TOO_LONG`) — `title` is `VARCHAR(255)`, and without the guard an over-long
+  title surfaces as a raw `DataIntegrityViolationException` → HTTP 500.

+<div class="sh">
+  <h2>4 · Quick-Action im Dokument-Detail — wo sie lebt</h2>
+  <p>Die Dokument-Detailseite ist ein <b>vollflächiger Viewer ohne Sidebar</b> (<code>fixed inset</code>). Aktions-Flächen gibt es nur zwei: die <code>DocumentTopBar</code> und den aufklappbaren <b>Details-Drawer</b>. Die Quick-Action lebt an beiden — primär als <b>„Zeitstrahl"-Spalte im Drawer</b> (spiegelt die Geschichten-Spalte), plus ein <b>Top-Bar-Button</b> für den Ein-Klick-Weg.</p>
+</div>
+
+<div class="callout navy"><strong>Warum der Details-Drawer der richtige Ort ist:</strong> Er zeigt heute schon, <i>wozu ein Brief gehört</i> — Personen, Schlagwörter und <b>Geschichten</b> (mit „Zuordnen"-Aktion, gegated über <code>canBlogWrite</code>, <code>DocumentMetadataDrawer.svelte:210</code>). Zeitstrahl-Ereignisse sind strukturell identisch („dieser Brief gehört zu diesen Ereignissen") und bekommen daher eine gleichwertige vierte/fünfte Spalte. Konsistent &amp; auffindbar dort, wo Nutzer ohnehin „Zugehörigkeit" suchen.</div>

+# Family Timeline (Zeitstrahl) — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-07
+**Status:** Approved — pending implementation plan
+
+## Problem
+
+The archive can capture, transcribe, organize, and browse letters, but the transcribed material does not yet add up to a *story in time*. Readers (younger, phone-first) have no way to feel the family's history unfold; transcribers don't see their work become something larger. A previous attempt to derive meaning automatically (LLM search) was slow and low-quality, so the family is wary of auto-extraction from handwriting.
+
+## Goal
+
+A **hand-curated, year-banded vertical timeline** — the "Zeitstrahl" — that weaves three layers into one chronological view:
+
+1. **Person life-events** derived from already-curated structured data (`Person` birth/death dates, marriage years from `PersonRelationship.fromYear`). Trusted, free, no extra entry. (Requires the Person birth/death fields to move from year-integers to date + precision — see foundational issue 1.)
+2. **Hand-curated events** the family writes — both **personal** (a move, an illness, emigration) and **historical** (a war, hyperinflation). Editorially controlled, always correct.
+3. **Letters**, auto-placed by their existing `documentDate`, optionally hand-linked to an event to cluster them.
+
+Two surfaces, one component:
+- **Global timeline** at `/zeitstrahl`.
+- **Per-person "Lebensweg"** — the same view filtered to one person, embedded on the Person detail page.
+
+Built for phones (vertical scroll), honest about date precision, with no fabricated dates.
+
+### Non-goals (YAGNI)
+
+- ❌ Auto-extracting events from transcription text — explicitly avoided; this is what makes the feature trustworthy.
+- ❌ Importing an external historical-events dataset — historical events are hand-entered too.
+- ❌ A map / geographic view — that is a separate future feature (B2).
+- ❌ Per-derived-event hide/override toggle — deferred refinement; MVP shows all derived events.
+- ❌ Day-resolution timeline axis — the axis is the **year**; finer dates only affect within-band ordering and label text.
+
+## Core principle: the year is the axis
+
+Most dates in the archive are year-only (birth/death/marriage years are years by nature; many letters carry `YEAR`/`APPROX` precision). Therefore:
+
+- The timeline spine is a **sequence of year bands**. Everything for a given year lives in that band.
+- **Finer ordering only when we have it.** A `DAY`-precision letter (`1923-04-12`) sorts above a `YEAR`-precision one (`1923`) *within* the 1923 band; we never invent a day we don't have.
+- **An "Ohne Datum" bucket** at the end holds items with `UNKNOWN` precision.
+- **Honest precision rendering** reuses the existing `DatePrecision` enum for every dated item (events and letters share one rendering path).
+
+### Date rendering (shared by events and letters)
+
+| `DatePrecision` | German render | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `DAY` | full date | `28. Juli 1914` |
+| `MONTH` | month + year | `Juli 1914` |
+| `SEASON` | season + year | `Sommer 1914` |
+| `YEAR` | year only | `1914` |
+| `APPROX` | "ca." + year | `ca. 1914` |
+| `RANGE` | start–end year | `1914–1918` |
+| `UNKNOWN` | undated bucket | `Ohne Datum` |
+
+A `RANGE` item is shown in its **start year's band** with a span marker; it is not duplicated across every year it covers.
+
+## Data model
+
+A new `timeline/` domain package on the backend (kept deliberately separate from the in-flight Lesereisen/`Geschichte` work in #750–753).
+
+### `TimelineEvent` entity
+
+Mirrors the `Document` date model for consistency, so events and letters use one date-handling code path.
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | `UUID` | `@GeneratedValue(UUID)` |
+| `title` | `String` | required |
+| `type` | `EventType` enum | `PERSONAL`, `HISTORICAL` |
+| `eventDate` | `LocalDate` | required — most precise date known (WW1 → `1914-07-28`; vague year → `1920-01-01`) |
+| `precision` | `DatePrecision` | reuse existing enum; default `YEAR` — governs rendering & whether the day matters |
+| `eventDateEnd` | `LocalDate` (nullable) | only set when `precision == RANGE` |
+| `description` | `TEXT` (nullable) | free-text narrative for the event |
+| `persons` | ManyToMany `Person` | who the event involves; drives the per-person view & filtering |
+| `documents` | ManyToMany `Document` | optional hand-linked supporting letters (the "cluster letters to an event" feature) |
+| `createdBy` / `createdAt` / `updatedBy` / `updatedAt` / `version` | audit | standard entity conventions |
+
+- `@Schema(requiredMode = REQUIRED)` on every always-populated field (`id`, `title`, `type`, `eventDate`, `precision`).
+- Collections use `@Builder.Default new HashSet<>()`.
+- New Flyway migration adds `timeline_events`, `timeline_event_persons`, `timeline_event_documents` join tables.
+
+### `EventType` enum
+
+`PERSONAL` | `HISTORICAL`. Personal events render with a person/family accent; historical events with a "world" accent and muted styling so the two layers are visually separable.
+
+### Prerequisite: migrate `Person` birth/death to date + precision
+
+Today `Person` stores `birthYear`/`deathYear` as `Integer`, so a known exact birthday (e.g. `1901-03-14`) has nowhere to live and derived events are stuck at year precision. This is fixed by a **foundational Person-domain migration** that the timeline depends on (and which delivers value on its own — precise dates then render on person cards, hover cards, and the Stammbaum).
+
+**Change:** replace `birthYear`/`deathYear` (`Integer`) with:
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `birthDate` | `LocalDate` (nullable) | most precise date known |
+| `birthDatePrecision` | `DatePrecision` (nullable) | `YEAR` for year-only, `DAY` for exact birthdays, etc. |
+| `deathDate` | `LocalDate` (nullable) | |
+| `deathDatePrecision` | `DatePrecision` (nullable) | |
+
+**Flyway data migration:** existing `birth_year` → `birth_date = '{year}-01-01'`, `birth_date_precision = 'YEAR'` (same for death); then drop the year columns.
+
+**Re-import preservation (ADR-025):** the canonical importer (`PersonRegisterImporter` / `tools/import-normalizer/persons_tree.py`) only carries the *year*. On re-import it must **not** clobber a hand-entered finer-than-`YEAR` date — if the existing precision is `DAY`/`MONTH`/`SEASON`, preserve it; only refresh from the spreadsheet year when the field is empty or still `YEAR`-from-import.
+
+**Bounding the blast radius:** `PersonNodeDTO` keeps exposing an `Integer birthYear`/`deathYear` *derived* from the new date (`birthDate.getYear()`), so the Stammbaum layout (`familyForest.ts` et al.) is untouched. Display surfaces (person card, hover card) move to a shared precision-aware formatter — extend the existing `frontend/src/lib/person/personLifeDates.ts`. The person edit/new forms gain date inputs with a precision selector.
+
+**Scope note:** `PersonRelationship.fromYear` (marriage year) stays `Integer`/`YEAR` for MVP — precise marriage dates are a later, parallel extension if wanted.
+
+### Derived person-events (not persisted)
+
+Assembled on read from the migrated `Person` data; never stored:
+
+| Source | Derived event | `eventDate` | precision |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `Person.birthDate` | *Geburt: {name}* | `Person.birthDate` | `Person.birthDatePrecision` |
+| `Person.deathDate` | *Tod: {name}* | `Person.deathDate` | `Person.deathDatePrecision` |
+| `PersonRelationship` `SPOUSE_OF.fromYear` | *Heirat: {A} & {B}* | `{fromYear}-01-01` | `YEAR` |
+
+Emitted in the same DTO shape as a curated event, flagged `derived: true`, `type = PERSONAL`. They cannot be edited from the timeline (they are edited at their source: Person record / relationship). A marriage is derived once per `SPOUSE_OF` edge (symmetric edges are stored once — see existing relationship rules).
+
+### Letters
+
+Placed by `Document.documentDate`:
+- Band = `documentDate.getYear()`; `UNKNOWN` precision → "Ohne Datum" bucket.
+- Sub-ordered within a band by full date when precision allows.
+- A letter may also appear under an event it's linked to (via `TimelineEvent.documents`) as a cluster, in addition to its own band placement.
+
+## Assembly & API
+
+A `TimelineService` merges the three layers into a year-bucketed DTO for the requested scope and filters. Layering rules apply: the service owns `TimelineEventRepository` and reaches Person/Document/Relationship data through their **services**, never their repositories.
+
+### DTOs
+
+- `TimelineEntryDTO` — one renderable item: `kind` (`EVENT` | `LETTER`), `eventDate`, `precision`, `eventDateEnd`, `title`, `type` (for events), `derived` flag, plus the source id (eventId / documentId) and minimal display fields (sender/receiver names for letters, linked person ids for events).
+- `TimelineYearDTO` — `{ year: int, entries: TimelineEntryDTO[] }`.
+- `TimelineDTO` — `{ years: TimelineYearDTO[], undated: TimelineEntryDTO[] }`.
+
+### Endpoints
+
+- `GET /api/timeline` — global timeline. Query params (all optional): `personId`, `generation`, `type` (`PERSONAL`/`HISTORICAL`), `fromYear`, `toYear`. The per-person "Lebensweg" is just `GET /api/timeline?personId=…` — no separate endpoint. Requires `READ_ALL`.
+- `POST /api/timeline/events` — create a curated event. `@RequirePermission(Permission.WRITE_ALL)`.
+- `PUT /api/timeline/events/{id}` — update. `@RequirePermission(Permission.WRITE_ALL)`.
+- `DELETE /api/timeline/events/{id}` — delete. `@RequirePermission(Permission.WRITE_ALL)`.
+- `GET /api/timeline/events/{id}` — fetch a single event for the edit form. Requires `READ_ALL`.
+
+Input DTO `TimelineEventRequest` lives flat in the `timeline/` package. Errors use `DomainException.notFound/...`; **no new `ErrorCode`** is required. Run `npm run generate:api` after backend model/endpoint changes.
+
+## Frontend
+
+- New domain dir `frontend/src/lib/timeline/`:
+  - `TimelineView.svelte` — orchestrator; accepts an optional `personId` prop so the same component powers both global and per-person views.
+  - `YearBand.svelte` — one year section header + its entries.
+  - `EventCard.svelte` — renders a `PERSONAL`/`HISTORICAL`/derived event with precision-aware date label.
+  - `LetterCard.svelte` — compact letter row (sender → receiver, snippet/title, date), links to `/documents/[id]`.
+  - `TimelineFilters.svelte` — person, generation, layer toggles, year range.
+  - `dateLabel.ts` — the shared precision→label helper (reuse/extend `lib/document/timeline.ts` helpers like `formatTickLabel` where they fit).
+- Routes:
+  - `/zeitstrahl` — global timeline (`+page.server.ts` loads `/api/timeline`).
+  - `/zeitstrahl/events/new` and `/zeitstrahl/events/[id]/edit` — curator forms, gated to `WRITE_ALL`, using the form-actions pattern.
+- Person detail page gains a **Lebensweg** card section embedding `<TimelineView personId={person.id} />`.
+- Styling per project conventions (card pattern, brand tokens, `font-serif` for names/titles, `BackButton`, mobile-first at 375px, dark-mode tokens).
+- i18n keys added to `messages/{de,en,es}.json` (German primary).
+
+## Testing
+
+- Backend: `TimelineService` assembly/merge/sort/precision-bucketing (unit + `@DataJpaTest` against Postgres via Testcontainers); controller permission gating; derived-event assembly (birth/death/marriage, symmetric marriage dedup).
+- Frontend: `dateLabel.ts` precision rendering; `TimelineView` global vs `personId` modes (`*.svelte.spec.ts`); filter behavior.
+- Follow project test discipline: targeted single-file runs locally only; full sweep left to CI.
+
+## Proposed issue breakdown (milestone "Zeitstrahl / Family Timeline")
+
+Ordered so each issue is independently shippable and reviewable; later issues depend on earlier ones. Issue 1 is a standalone Person-domain improvement and a hard prerequisite for the timeline's derived events.
+
+1. **Person birth/death → date + precision (foundational)** — replace `birthYear`/`deathYear` with `birthDate`/`deathDate` + precision on `Person`; Flyway data migration (year → `YYYY-01-01`, `YEAR`); update importer with re-import preservation rule; derive year in `PersonNodeDTO` (Stammbaum untouched); move person card / hover card to a precision-aware `personLifeDates.ts`; add date+precision inputs to person new/edit forms. Ships value on its own.
+2. **Backend: `TimelineEvent` entity + migration** — entity, `EventType`, Flyway migration + join tables, repository.
+3. **Backend: TimelineEvent CRUD API** — `TimelineEventController` + `TimelineService` write methods, `TimelineEventRequest` DTO, permission gating, `GET /events/{id}`.
+4. **Backend: derived person-events** — assemble Geburt/Tod/Heirat from migrated Person + relationship data via their services; unit-tested dedup.
+5. **Backend: timeline assembly endpoint** — `GET /api/timeline` merging events + derived events + letters into `TimelineDTO`; year-bucketing, precision sort, undated bucket, filters.
+6. **Frontend: shared date-label helper + types** — `dateLabel.ts`, regen API types.
+7. **Frontend: global `/zeitstrahl` view** — `TimelineView`, `YearBand`, `EventCard`, `LetterCard`, server load.
+8. **Frontend: filters** — `TimelineFilters` (person / generation / layer / year range).
+9. **Frontend: curator event forms** — `/zeitstrahl/events/new` + `/[id]/edit`, gated, with document & person pickers.
+10. **Frontend: per-person Lebensweg** — embed `<TimelineView personId>` on Person detail.
+11. **Polish & a11y** — mobile layout at 375px, dark mode, axe checks, i18n completeness (de/en/es).
+
+> An ADR may be warranted for the new `timeline/` domain + entity (per `docs/CLAUDE.md`, significant data-model change). Add as the next sequential ADR number when implementation starts.
