+# Copy + Close on the Case Page — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-01
+**Status:** Draft — awaiting user spec review
+**Authors:** orchestrator + Claude
+
+## Goal
+
+Give a user finishing a case a single gesture on the case detail page
+(`server/templates/case_page.html`): copy the document text to the
+clipboard, close the case, and land back on the case list (`/cases`).
+
+Today these are two separate controls — the icon copy button
+(`#copy-btn`, above the document) and the trash-can close form (in the
+`<h1>` title row). The close already redirects to `/cases` from a case
+page (see Data flow), so "back to list" needs no new server work; what
+is missing is fusing copy + close into one button.
+
+Scope is **the case page only**. Issue #14 also asks for a per-row
+copy+close on the case list (`my_cases.html`); that part is explicitly
+deferred — this cycle leaves the list untouched and the issue stays
+open (`refs #14`, not `closes`).
+
+## Architecture
+
+Frontend-only. One template file (`server/templates/case_page.html`)
+and its inline `<script>`. **No Rust change** — no route, handler, or
+struct is touched. The `POST /cases/{case_id}/close` endpoint
+(`server/src/routes/case_actions.rs:437`) and its `Referer`-derived
+redirect stay exactly as they are; the combined button merely submits
+the existing close form after the clipboard write completes.
+
+This keeps every server-side invariant fixed: the `.closed`
+discovery-gate semantics (commit `5e86cb5`), the IDOR guard, the CSRF
+contract, and the close redirect target are all unchanged because no
+server code moves.
+
+## Concrete code shapes
+
+### User-facing artefact (the headline)
+
+What renders directly under the document for an **open** case. For a
+case *with* a document the button copies then closes; for an open case
+*without* a document it is a bare close (nothing to copy):
+
+```html
+<div id="doc-body">{{ html|safe }}</div>
+{% if !is_closed %}
+<div class="doc-footer-actions">
+  <form id="copy-close-form" method="post" action="/cases/{{ case_id }}/close">
+    {% call csrf::field(csrf_token) %}
+    {% if has_document %}
+    <button type="submit" class="copy-close-btn">Kopieren + Schließen</button>
+    {% else %}
+    <button type="submit" class="copy-close-btn">Schließen</button>
+    {% endif %}
+  </form>
+  <p id="copy-close-error" class="copy-error" role="alert" hidden>
+    Kopieren fehlgeschlagen — Fall nicht geschlossen.
+  </p>
+</div>
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+The inline script, with the two-path clipboard write extracted into a
+shared function used by both the icon copy button and the close form:
+
+```js
+(() => {
+    // Shared two-path clipboard write: async Clipboard API in secure
+    // contexts, textarea + execCommand fallback otherwise. Returns
+    // whether the copy actually succeeded so callers can gate the
+    // follow-up close on it.
+    async function copyDocText() {
+        const body = document.getElementById("doc-body");
+        if (!body) return false; // no document → nothing to copy
+        const text = body.innerText;
+        let ok = false;
+        try {
+            if (navigator.clipboard && window.isSecureContext) {
+                await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text);
+                ok = true;
+            }
+        } catch (_) {
+            /* fall through to execCommand */
+        }
+        if (!ok) {
+            const ta = document.createElement("textarea");
+            ta.value = text;
+            ta.setAttribute("readonly", "");
+            ta.style.position = "fixed";
+            ta.style.top = "-1000px";
+            document.body.appendChild(ta);
+            ta.select();
+            try {
+                ok = document.execCommand("copy");
+            } catch (_) {}
+            ta.remove();
+        }
+        return ok;
+    }
+
+    const copyBtn = document.getElementById("copy-btn");
+    if (copyBtn) {
+        copyBtn.hidden = false;
+        copyBtn.addEventListener("click", async () => {
+            if (await copyDocText()) {
+                copyBtn.classList.add("copied");
+                setTimeout(() => copyBtn.classList.remove("copied"), 1500);
+            }
+        });
+    }
+
+    // Combined "copy then close": the clipboard write must finish inside
+    // the user-gesture context before the form navigates, and a failed
+    // copy aborts the close so the user never loses a document they
+    // believed was on the clipboard.
+    const closeForm = document.getElementById("copy-close-form");
+    if (closeForm) {
+        closeForm.addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
+            // Bare "Schließen" (no document) submits normally, no copy.
+            if (!document.getElementById("doc-body")) return;
+            e.preventDefault();
+            if (await copyDocText()) {
+                closeForm.submit(); // close → 303 → /cases
+            } else {
+                document.getElementById("copy-close-error").hidden = false;
+            }
+        });
+    }
+})();
+```
+
+### Implementation shape (supporting — before → after)
+
+**Remove the H1 trash-can close form** (open-case branch). The
+`{% if is_closed %}` reopen branch is untouched.
+
+Before (`server/templates/case_page.html`, the `{% else %}` arm of the
+title-row form, ~lines 438–458):
+
+```html
+{% else %}
+<form class="delete-form" method="post" action="/cases/{{ case_id }}/close">
+    {% call csrf::field(csrf_token) %}
+    <button type="submit" class="delete-btn" title="Fall schließen" ...>
+        <svg ...><!-- trash icon --></svg>
+    </button>
+</form>
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+After: the `{% else %}` arm is dropped entirely — for an open case the
+title row carries no close affordance (it moves below the document).
+The `{% if is_closed %}` reopen arm and the `{% endif %}` remain.
+
+**Refactor the copy IIFE:** the existing anonymous click handler that
+inlines the clipboard logic becomes `copyDocText()` (shown above); the
+icon button keeps its exact current behaviour by calling it.
+
+## Components
+
+- **H1 title row** — open-case trash-close form removed; closed-case
+  reopen form unchanged.
+- **`doc-footer-actions` block** (new, after `#doc-body`, `!is_closed`
+  only) — one close form whose button label is `Kopieren + Schließen`
+  when `has_document`, else `Schließen`; plus a hidden error paragraph.
+- **Inline script** — `copyDocText()` shared by the icon copy button
+  and the close form's submit handler.
+
+No new template variables: `is_closed`, `has_document`, `case_id`, and
+`csrf_token` are already in the template's context.
+
+## Data flow
+
+1. User clicks **Kopieren + Schließen**.
+2. `submit` event fires → handler `preventDefault()`s.
+3. `await copyDocText()` runs the clipboard write inside the gesture.
+4. On `true`: `form.submit()` → `POST /cases/{id}/close` → handler
+   writes the `.closed` marker and returns `303` to
+   `resolve_list_return_path(headers)`. The `Referer` is the case page
+   `/cases/{uuid}`, which that function strips to `/cases`. Browser
+   lands on the list.
+5. On `false`: `#copy-close-error` is unhidden; no submit; case stays
+   open.
+
+The bare **Schließen** button (open case, no document) has no
+`#doc-body`, so the handler returns early and the form submits
+normally → same close → `/cases`.
+
+## Error handling
+
+- **Copy failure** (both clipboard paths fail — e.g. insecure context
+  and no `execCommand`): close is aborted, the case stays open, and
+  `#copy-close-error` is shown. The user never ends up with a closed
+  (list-hidden) case and an empty clipboard.
+- **CSRF**: the new close form carries `{% call csrf::field(csrf_token) %}`,
+  identical to the form it replaces.
+- **Closed case**: neither button renders (`{% if !is_closed %}`);
+  closing an already-closed case is impossible. The reopen affordance
+  is the only state-changing control, unchanged.
+
+## Testing strategy
+
+RED→GREEN in `server/tests/case_page_test.rs`, which renders the page
+and asserts on the HTML. The JS gesture ordering (copy-before-navigate,
+abort-on-failure) is **not** covered by Rust tests — the project has no
+headless-browser harness — and is verified manually.
+
+New / extended assertions:
+
+- **Open case with document** renders `id="copy-close-form"`, the text
+  `Kopieren + Schließen`, and a CSRF token; and **no longer** renders
+  the H1 trash-can close button (assert its absence so the removal is
+  pinned).
+- **Open case without document** (`case_page_empty_case_shows_placeholder`,
+  extended): the close form with `action="…/close"` is still present and
+  its label is `Schließen`.
+- **Closed case** renders no `copy-close-form`; the reopen control is
+  still present.
+- **`case_page_document_has_copy_button`** stays green — the icon
+  copy button survives the refactor.
+
+Whole suite green via `cargo test --manifest-path server/Cargo.toml -j 4`;
+`cargo clippy` and `cargo fmt` clean.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+A medical user finishing a case naturally reaches for "put the letter
+on the clipboard and be done with this case" in one click — the
+`Kopieren + Schließen` button above is that gesture, and is the
+empirical evidence for the criterion. It introduces no new failure
+class: a failed copy aborts the close (no false sense of a saved
+document), CSRF is preserved, and the closed-case discovery-gate and
+IDOR guarantees are untouched because no server code changes.
+
+Checklist (the case-page half of issue #14):
+
+- [ ] Case page: one control copies the document to the clipboard,
+      closes the case, and lands on `/cases`, with the clipboard write
+      guaranteed to complete before navigation.
+- [ ] On copy failure the case is **not** closed and an error is shown.
+- [ ] Open case without a document keeps a working close control.
+- [ ] The standalone icon copy button (copy without close) still works.
+- [ ] The clipboard `execCommand` fallback path still applies.
+- [ ] Closed cases render neither button; reopen unchanged.
+- [ ] Case list (`my_cases.html`) is untouched this cycle (`refs #14`).
