Save a brief to the account and check it
save_briefSave a draft to your proofread.law account and check its case citations in one call, returning flagged issues and a report id for the edit-and-recheck loop.
Instructions
Save a brief (or any draft that cites cases) to the user's proofread.law account and check its citations in the same call. Use it when the user asks to keep a draft and come back to it, or to start the edit-and-recheck loop: save once, then after each round of edits call update_brief with the id. Returns the brief id, the coverage statement, counts per tier, one line per row that needs attention (red = check this: the register holds something concrete that disagrees; orange = cannot verify: nothing to check against, not evidence either way), and a report id for render_report. Only call it when the user wants the draft saved; to check without saving, use check_citations. Each call saves a new brief and counts as one check. Cannot: resolve Westlaw (WL) or Lexis identifiers, check statutes, regulations or secondary sources, or say whether a case is still good law. A red row means 'check this', never 'this case does not exist'; an orange row means the register has nothing to check against, which is not evidence either way. Saving is opt-in: nothing is saved unless save_brief or update_brief is called (check_citations and check_document never save anything). A saved brief is stored encrypted in the user's proofread.law account until delete_brief removes it, and needs an API key (PROOFREAD_API_KEY, or one from sign_up).
