redstring

Evidence-first litigation workspace for paralegals and lawyers that turns messy documents, filings, deadlines, communications, and facts into a verified, court-ready case record.

Created from subculture-collective/project-template.

Current prototype

redstring is currently a workstation-first public-defender Discovery Binder prototype.

Implemented:

• OIDC login with local Keycloak and app-managed roles.
• Assigned Cases, Docket Profile fields, Charges, and Discovery Inventory.
• MinIO-backed discovery uploads with Postgres metadata.
• Source Span extraction for UTF-8 text-like discovery files.
• Source-cited summaries with Source-Checked and Attorney-Approved review states.
• Case Timeline, Open Questions, and Contradiction Flags linked to Source Spans.
• Partial Case Binder ZIP export with inventory, summaries, timeline, questions, contradictions, audit events, and files.

Known gaps:

• PDF extraction, OCR, and transcription are planned but not production-ready.
• Local AI quality/guardrails need more evaluation fixtures.
• Backups, restore, retention, and deployment hardening are planned in M5.
