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.
