+## Overview
 
-This server wraps the keyless RIS OGD REST API (v2.6, CC BY 4.0) for MCP agents, covering all 39 OGD applications and reaching back to the Reichsgesetzblatt of 1848. Every response labels the document's binding status, since only the amtssignierte gazette wording is legally binding.

Covers all 39 applications of the keyless RIS OGD REST API (v2.6, CC BY 4.0) and labels every document with its binding status, since only the authentic (amtssigniert) gazette text is legally binding. Runs as a stdio process, a local Streamable HTTP server, or the public hosted endpoint above.
 
-## Tools
-
-Five search tools split by document class, plus a citation resolver, document retrieval, a change feed, and an offline vocabulary reference:
+### Tools
 
 | Tool | Description |
 |:---|:---|
-| `ris_search_legislation` | Search consolidated federal, state, and municipal law, one document per §/Artikel/Anlage, filtered to the version in force on a given date (defaults to today). Also serves English translations of selected laws. |
-| `ris_search_case_law` | Search Austrian case law (Judikatur), one court or tribunal per call: VfGH, VwGH, ordinary courts, BVwG, LVwG, DSB, the party-transparency senate, and ten more. |
-| `ris_search_gazette` | Browse the promulgation record at every level of government: federal (three era tiers back to 1848, auto-routed), state law and ordinance gazettes, district, and municipal. |
-| `ris_search_drafts` | Search the federal lawmaking pipeline: ministerial drafts in public review (Begutachtungsentwürfe) and government bills (Regierungsvorlagen). |
-| `ris_search_announcements` | Search sectoral official gazettes and executive documents: social-insurance notices, veterinary notices, court rules, trade-exam regulations, health structure plans, ministerial decrees, council-of-ministers minutes. |
-| `ris_lookup_citation` | Resolve one Austrian legal citation ("§ 6 DSG", "BGBl. I Nr. 165/1999", "RGBl. Nr. 189/1902", a Geschäftszahl, "VfSlg 19.632/2012") to its canonical document. |
-| `ris_get_document` | Fetch one document's full text as markdown/HTML/XML, or its export URLs, with binding-status labeling and the authentic PDF wherever one exists. |
-| `ris_track_changes` | Per-application change feed: every document added or changed in a date window, deletions included. |
-| `ris_list_reference` | Ground the domain vocabulary offline: applications and coverage windows, court codes, Bundesländer, decision kinds, ministries, district authorities, gazette eras and parts, citation formats, search syntax. |

-- `title` matches the title, short title, or abbreviation ("DSG", "ABGB")
-- `scope` routes to federal law or one of the nine Bundesländer; `municipality` narrows a state scope to municipal law (selected norms, six Bundesländer)
-- `language: english` serves the Erv collection of selected English translations
-- `in_force_as_of` defaults to today. Omitting the date upstream silently searches all historical versions, so `include_all_versions` is the explicit opt-in and the applied date is echoed in every response
-- Force-window filters (`entered_force_from/to`, `left_force_from/to`) track provisions entering or leaving force in a date range
-- Section-range filtering via `section_from`/`section_to`/`section_type` (§, Artikel, Anlage)
-- Law-level grouping via `law_id` (Gesetzesnummer), plus Systematik `index` and `changed_since` windows

-### `ris_search_case_law`
+## Capability reference
 
-Search decisions and headnotes across 17 court and tribunal applications.
+### `ris_search_legislation` <sub>tool</sub>
 
-- `court` is required and takes one application per call: `vfgh`, `vwgh`, `justiz`, `bvwg`, `lvwg`, `dsk`, `upts` (party-transparency senate), plus ten historical and specialized tribunals. Cross-court research fans out one call per court
-- Filter by cited provision (`norm`, e.g. "DSG §1", "DSGVO Art32"), exact case number (`case_number`, Geschäftszahl), decision date range, decision kind (Erkenntnis/Beschluss/…), and full-text query
-- `decision_type` targets headnotes (Rechtssätze), full decision texts, or both
-- Court-conditional filters: `issuing_body` (dsk/dok/pvak/verg), `court_name`, `legal_area`, `subject_area` (justiz, e.g. "Datenschutzrecht"), `state` (lvwg/uvs), `collection_number` (VfSlg/VwSlg cites), `party` (upts), commission/senate/discrimination ground (gbk), media statute (bks)
-- Output per decision: case numbers, decision date, ECLI, cited norms, keywords, the guiding principle (Leitsatz) on headnote documents, and headnote/decision URLs
+- `query` (full text) and `title` (title, short title, or abbreviation such as "DSG"); `scope` is `federal` (default) or a Bundesland, `municipality` switches a state scope to municipal law, and `language: english` searches the ~138 English translations
+- `in_force_as_of` defaults to today in Austria and is echoed as `appliedInForceAsOf`; `include_all_versions` and the `entered_force_*` / `left_force_*` windows are mutually exclusive alternatives
+- Records carry `law_id` (filter on it to get every section of a law), `section_label`, in-force dates, `eli`, `celex_references`, and `content_urls`; `section_from`/`section_to`, `index`, and `sort_by` narrow further
 
 ---
 
-### `ris_search_gazette`
+### `ris_search_case_law` <sub>tool</sub>
 
-Browse the promulgation record at every level of government. For a single known gazette number, `ris_lookup_citation` is the direct route.
-
-- `scope`: federal, one of the nine Bundesländer, `district` (Bezirksverwaltungsbehörden), or `municipal` (authentic municipal promulgations)
-- Federal history is one logical series auto-routed across three era tiers: BgblAuth (2004+, authentic), BgblPdf (Staats- und Bundesgesetzblatt 1945–2003), and BgblAlt (Reichs-, Staats- und Bundesgesetzblatt 1848–1940, metadata plus ÖNB-hosted scans). Each response names the tier that served it
-- One call serves one tier, so a date range crossing 2004-01-01 or 1945-01-01 is rejected with the boundary to split at rather than answered from one side of it. RIS carries no federal gazette for 1941–1944
-- Filter by publication date range, gazette `part` (BGBl. I/II/III, or `pre_1997` for the partless era), document `type`, issuing ministry, district authority, or municipality
-- State scopes serve the authentic Landesgesetzblätter by default. `series: ordinance_gazette` switches to the Verordnungsblätter; `state_era: legacy` selects the state's earlier non-authentic series (Niederösterreich's systematic LgblNO, or the historical Lgbl elsewhere)
-- Point lookup by gazette number ("BGBl. II Nr. 171/2026" or "171/2026")
-- Every record carries a binding label (`authentic`, `historical_record`, or `consolidated_informational`) and the amtssigniert PDF URL when present. The metadata-only 1848–1940 gazettes link to their ÖNB ALEX scan
+- `court` is required, one code per call; filter by `query`, cited `norm` ("DSG §1"), `case_number`, `decided_from`/`decided_to`, `decision_type` (`headnote`, `full_text`, `all`), and court-conditional filters such as `court_name` (justiz), `state` (lvwg/uvs), or `collection_number` (vfgh/vwgh/uvs)
+- Records carry `case_numbers`, `decision_date`, `ecli`, `norms_cited`, and `guiding_principle` on headnotes; `court: normenliste` returns indexed laws under `norm_index` instead of decisions
+- A conditional filter sent to the wrong court fails as `court_filter_mismatch` before any upstream call
 
 ---
 
-### `ris_search_drafts`
-
-Search federal law before it is enacted.
+### `ris_search_gazette` <sub>tool</sub>
 
-- `stage: review_drafts` covers ministerial drafts in public review (Begutachtungsentwürfe). `in_review_on` answers what is in review on a given date
-- `stage: government_bills` covers bills adopted by the council of ministers (Regierungsvorlagen, 2004+), filtered by adoption date
-- `ministry` accepts the abbreviation ("BMF") and the server expands it to RIS's exact designation
-- Output includes review deadlines, council adoption dates, and the RIS web view
-- `materials` lists the companion documents filed with the draft — Erläuterungen (the drafting reasoning the bill text omits), Textgegenüberstellung, Vorblatt/WFA, covering letter, annexes. Their filenames are opaque and per-record, so passing a `materials[].url` to `ris_get_document` is the only way to read one; `format` there picks the rendition, so the one URL reaches every text rendition the companion has. Where RIS files no HTML rendition — about one companion in eight, nearly all covering letters — the URL is the PDF, which is a download rather than a text rendition
+- `scope` is `federal` (default), a Bundesland, `district`, or `municipal`; filter by `number`, `part`, `type`, `published_from`/`published_to`, `issuer`, `district_authority`, or `municipality`. State scopes also take `series` (`law_gazette` / `ordinance_gazette`) and `state_era` (`current` / `legacy`)
+- Federal queries route to one era tier (BgblAuth 2004+, BgblPdf 1945–2003, BgblAlt 1848–1940), echoed as `servedApplication`; a date range crossing a tier boundary fails as `cross_tier_range` with the dates to split at
+- Records carry `binding` (`authentic`, `historical_record`, `consolidated_informational`), `authentic_pdf_url` where one exists, and `alex_url` (the ÖNB scan) for 1848–1940 entries

-Sectoral official gazettes and executive documents: seven collections, five of them legally binding authentic publications.
+### `ris_search_drafts` <sub>tool</sub>
 
-- `collection`: `social_insurance` (Avsv), `veterinary` (Avn), `court_rules` (KmGer), `trade_exam_rules` (PruefGewO), `health_structure_plans` (Spg, ÖSG/RSG), `ministerial_decrees` (Erlässe), `council_minutes` (Ministerratsprotokolle)
-- Collection-aware filters: issue numbers, issuers (insurance carriers, ministries), cited norm ("decrees citing the DSG"), in-force date for the consolidated collections, plan type and state for health plans, session number and legislature for council minutes
-- Binding labels per collection: `authentic`, `administrative_directive` (decrees bind the administration, not citizens), or `preparatory` (council minutes)
-- Every record carries the RIS web view — the only browsable surface for the PDF-only council minutes and for ministerial decrees
+- `stage` is required: `review_drafts` (with `in_review_on` for drafts in review on a date) or `government_bills` (2004+, with `decided_from`/`decided_to`); `ministry` accepts an abbreviation such as "BMF" or a full designation
+- Records carry `review_deadline` or `decided`, plus `materials[]`: the Erläuterungen, Textgegenüberstellung, Vorblatt/WFA, covering letter, and annexes, classified by `type`. Pass a `materials[].url` to `ris_get_document` to read one

-### `ris_lookup_citation`
+### `ris_search_announcements` <sub>tool</sub>
 
-Resolve a citation to its canonical document.
-
-- Parses and routes four citation kinds: norm cites ("§ 6 DSG", "Art 10 B-VG"), gazette numbers across all three federal eras plus LGBl ("BGBl. I Nr. 165/1999", "BGBl. Nr. 194/1961", "RGBl. Nr. 189/1902"), case numbers ("Ro 2026/03/0016", "2025-0.934.677", "14Os49/26a"), and collection numbers ("VfSlg 19.632/2012")
-- Routes to deterministic upstream filters (section plus title, per-era number params, Geschäftszahl, Sammlungsnummer) rather than keyword search
-- A state gazette number predating that Bundesland's e-Recht switch falls back to its earlier non-authentic series; a VwSlg number cited without its part letter comes back as ambiguous, naming both decisions, rather than resolved to one of them
-- Returns `found: false` with structured guidance instead of throwing when nothing resolves
-- `court` and `state` hints short-circuit ambiguous formats
+- `collection` is required: `social_insurance`, `veterinary`, `court_rules`, `trade_exam_rules`, `health_structure_plans`, `ministerial_decrees`, or `council_minutes`. Each accepts its own filter set, and a filter outside it fails as `collection_filter_mismatch`. That includes `changed_since` on `social_insurance` and `veterinary`, where RIS ignores it
+- `issuer` expands ministry abbreviations ("BMF") and social-insurance carrier abbreviations ("ÖGK")
+- Records carry `binding` (`authentic` for five collections, `administrative_directive` for decrees, `preparatory` for council minutes), `authentic_pdf_url`, and `document_url`, the only browsable view of council minutes and decrees
 
 ---
 
-### `ris_get_document`
+### `ris_lookup_citation` <sub>tool</sub>
+
+- One `citation` per call, auto-classified as a norm ("§ 6 DSG", "DSG §1"), gazette number ("BGBl. I Nr. 165/1999", "RGBl. Nr. 189/1902"), case number ("Ro 2026/03/0016"), or collection number ("VfSlg 19.632/2012"). `kind` forces a route, `court` and `state` hints narrow it, and `in_force_as_of` pins a norm's version (default today)
+- Returns `found`, `kind`, and a `record` in the matching search tool's shape, with `alternatives_count` when more than one document matched. A miss returns `found: false` with `guidance` instead of an error
 
-Read and export a single document.
+---
 
-- Addresses documents by `document_number` plus `application` (from any search or lookup result), or by a passed-through `ris.bka.gv.at` document URL (host and path allowlisted) — including a draft's companion documents from a `ris_search_drafts` record's `materials[].url`, which nothing else can reach. `format` selects the rendition for a companion exactly as for a main document
-- `format`: `markdown` (default, boilerplate stripped), raw `html`, RIS `xml`, or `urls_only`
-- Every response carries a binding status: `authentic` (with amtssigniert PDF URL), `consolidated_informational`, `historical_record`, `decision`, `preparatory`, `administrative_directive`, or `translation`
-- Applications that publish only the signed PDF (district and municipal promulgations, court rules) or only scans (1848–1940 gazettes, ÖNB-hosted) return a `format_unavailable` notice with the usable URLs instead of failing
-- Markdown over 40,000 bytes returns an outline (`kind: outline`) instead of truncating. Re-call with `sections:[…]` to pull the entries you need
-- Outline entries are the document's §/Artikel/Anlage sections, or — for the court decisions, gazette bodies and announcements that carry no such headings — contiguous byte windows named `Part 1 of N` … `Part N of N`, cut at line breaks and covering the text with nothing dropped. Raw `html`/`xml` are never sliced and return whole at any size
-- Returns content, not fresh metadata. The upstream API has no document-by-number search, so document numbers come from a prior search or lookup result
+### `ris_get_document` <sub>tool</sub>
+
+- Address by `document_number` + `application`, or by a `document_url` from `content_urls` or a draft's `materials[].url`, on `www.ris.bka.gv.at` or `ogd.ris.bka.gv.at`; `format` is `markdown` (default), `html`, `xml`, or `urls_only`
+- Every result carries `binding_status` (seven values, from `authentic` to `translation`) and `authentic_pdf_url` where one exists. Applications with no text rendition (district and municipal promulgations, court rules, party-transparency decisions, council minutes, 1848–1940 gazettes) return a notice with the usable URL instead of failing
+- Markdown over 40,000 bytes comes back as `kind: outline`, listing §/Artikel/Anlage sections or `Part n of N` windows; re-call with `sections` to fetch entries
+- `html` and `xml` are never sliced. Over 40,000 bytes they come back as `kind: link` with no text, only `byte_size` and `content_urls`, which fetches the whole artifact in one request. Nearly every HTML rendition carries a 40–70 KB stylesheet and lands here, so read with `markdown`

-Exact-dated per-application change feed.
+---
 
-- `application` plus `changed_from`/`changed_to` returns every document added or changed in the window. A typical two-week federal-law window carries 1,400+ changes
-- `include_deleted` surfaces removals, which no other RIS surface exposes
-- The search tools' `changed_since` interval filters are the coarser alternative
+### `ris_list_reference` <sub>tool</sub>
 
-## Resource
+- `topic` selects one of 17 static tables: applications, courts, states, decision types and kinds, issuing bodies, ministries, collections, stages, changed-since intervals, section types, gazette parts, law types, district authorities, justiz subject areas, search syntax, and citation formats
+- Returns `summary` and `entries` (`value`, `label`, `details`) with no upstream call; recovery hints across the other tools name the topic to read
 
-| Type | Name | Description |
-|:---|:---|:---|
-| Resource | `ris://document/{application}/{documentNumber}` | Markdown text of one RIS document — injectable twin of `ris_get_document` |
+---
 
-All resource data is also reachable via tools — clients without resource support use `ris_get_document`.
+### `ris://document/{application}/{documentNumber}` <sub>resource</sub>
 
-## Features
+- `text/markdown` of one document, addressed by `application` + `documentNumber` copied from a search or lookup result; same content as `ris_get_document` with `format: markdown`
+- Applications with no text rendition return a note pointing at the PDF or scan. Oversized text returns the outline without a `sections` selector, so use the tool to fetch an entry
 
-Built on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):
+## Features
 
-- Declarative tool and resource definitions — single file per primitive, framework handles registration and validation
-- Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats
-- Pluggable auth (`none`, `jwt`, `oauth`)
-- Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing
-- STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports
+Built on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core): stdio and Streamable HTTP transports, pluggable auth (`none` / `jwt` / `oauth`), swappable storage (`in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`), structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing.
 
 RIS-specific:
 
-- All 39 OGD applications across every controller, from consolidated law and the four levels of authentic gazette to the 17 court and tribunal collections
-- Strict parameter allowlist. RIS silently ignores unknown query params, so a typo returns plausible but unfiltered results; only live-confirmed spellings are sent upstream
-- Normalizer for RIS's JSON-serialized-XML envelope: object-or-array coercion, in-band error detection, six per-controller metadata classes, `<br/>` cleanup, CELEX reference parsing, ministry-abbreviation expansion
-- English tool surface over RIS's German API. Austrian legal terms (Geschäftszahl, Rechtssatz, Bundesgesetzblatt) stay as domain vocabulary and are glossed in the descriptions
+- All 39 OGD applications: consolidated law, the federal, state, district, and municipal gazettes, 17 court and tribunal collections, the lawmaking pipeline, and sectoral announcements
+- Citations route to deterministic upstream filters (section plus title, gazette number, Geschäftszahl, Sammlungsnummer) rather than keyword search
+- Strict parameter allowlist: RIS silently ignores unknown parameters, so conditional filters are checked locally and only live-confirmed spellings go upstream
+- Retries use a 1.5 s base delay for the rate-limited API, and an HTML page in place of JSON counts as a throttle signal
+- Shared conventions: dates are `YYYY-MM-DD`; search tools page with `page` and `page_size` (10 or 20; default 20); a text filter must be non-blank, so omit it to leave the search unfiltered; court, application, state, and ministry codes come from `ris_list_reference`
+- Tool descriptions are English, while titles, field values, and in-band RIS error messages stay German; legal terms such as Geschäftszahl and Rechtssatz are glossed in the descriptions
 
 Agent-friendly output:
 
-- Error hints, zero-hit notices, format-unavailable notices, and `found: false` guidance each name the concrete next call: a `ris_list_reference` topic, the right search tool, or `ris_lookup_citation`
-- Conditional-parameter misuse is caught locally before any upstream call: a court-specific filter with the wrong court, `part` outside federal scope, a collection filter on the wrong collection, bad addressing
-- Zero hits return success plus a composed notice rather than an error
-- Applied filters are echoed back, so the `in_force_as_of` default stays visible to the calling agent
-- Upstream schema-validation messages pass through. RIS enumerates valid values, which lets agents self-correct
-
-## Localization
-
-Tool and parameter descriptions are English-only today. German (`de-AT`) descriptions are planned, pending opt-in localization support in the framework ([cyanheads/mcp-ts-core#259](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/issues/259)); the English surface stays the default and fallback.
+- Discriminated binding status: every record carries a typed label (`authentic`, `consolidated_informational`, `historical_record`, `decision`, `preparatory`, `administrative_directive`, `translation`), so callers branch on data, not string parsing
+- Provenance: paged results report `totalCount` and `truncated` and echo what the server applied: `appliedInForceAsOf`, the gazette tier in `servedApplication`, and the `changedFrom`/`changedTo` window of a change feed
+- Actionable recovery: typed error reasons (`court_filter_mismatch`, `cross_tier_range`, `invalid_query`, `document_not_found`, …) and zero-hit notices name the next call, whether a `ris_list_reference` topic, another search tool, or `ris_lookup_citation`

+# 0.4.4 — 2026-09-19
+
+## Added
+
+- **CodeQL static analysis workflow** (`.github/workflows/codeql.yml`) runs on push/PR to `main` and weekly, analyzing JavaScript/TypeScript and Actions.
+
+## Changed
+
+- **`sessionMode: 'stateless'` is now declared in `src/index.ts`** instead of left to the deployment's `MCP_SESSION_MODE` default — every RIS tool answers from the request it's given, so no handler needs a stateful session.
+- **The search retry budget is `withRetry`'s `deadlineMs`** (mcp-ts-core 0.13.x) — each attempt bounds its own fetch at whatever remains of the 48s budget, and an expiry aborts the in-flight request rather than sleeping past it; a budget-exhausted call now reports `data.reason: 'retry_deadline_exceeded'`.
+- **`lint:packaging` now checks the README `Version-` badge against `package.json`** (mcp-ts-core 0.13.x) — a stale badge fails `devcheck`.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- **`ris_list_reference`'s `cell()` escapes backslashes before pipes** — an unescaped backslash preceding table punctuation was silently dropped by markdown rendering, corrupting cell values containing `\|`, `\*`, or a Windows path ([#41](https://github.com/cyanheads/ris-austria-mcp-server/issues/41)).
