Consent gate (the legal linchpin from the wet-signature memo): - migration 092 adds ink_consent/ink_consent_at/ink_consent_text to esign_records - extract pure, unit-tested gate logic into esign-ink-consent.ts (DRY single source for route + signing page): isInkReproduction / inkConsentRequired / inkConsentSatisfied + verbatim client-safe INK_CONSENT_TEXT - portal-esign-generic.ts: GET surfaces ink_reproduction + consent text; POST gates DRAWN signatures on ink-path docs on explicit consent, stores it - signing page locks the signature block until consent is checked (drawn only) - npi_provider marks cms855/cms10114 esign metadata ink_reproduction=true - 33 unit checks: gate truth table + consent text omits all internal mechanics (plotter/machine/CMS/MAC/etc) and keeps required legal reassurances Patent-risk memo (docs/legal/patent-risk-mechanical-wet-signature.md): - prior-art-dated risk analysis (autopen 1803/1942, plotters, CNC = public domain => low risk on core concept; e-sign workflow space litigious) - firsthand recent-grant sweep (1.58M USPTO grants 2021-2025, queried via DuckDB): ZERO patents on machine-applies-signature-in-ink; e-sign players hold only electronic-workflow patents.

-- 092: Ink-reproduction consent on signature records.
|
|
--
|
|
-- The Standard (no-login) CMS filing path reproduces the signer's OWN captured
|
|
-- signature strokes in real ink on the printed form (pen plotter) so the mailed
|
|
-- application carries an original ink signature. Per the legal-risk research
|
|
-- (docs/legal/remote-mechanical-wet-signature-precedent.md), the linchpin that
|
|
-- keeps this on the valid side of the forgery/agency line is an EXPLICIT,
|
|
-- per-document authorization from the signer to reproduce their signature in ink
|
|
-- on this specific document.
|
|
--
|
|
-- These columns capture that consent at signing time, alongside the existing
|
|
-- perjury attestation. They are only meaningful for drawn signatures on ink-path
|
|
-- documents (metadata.ink_reproduction = true); other docs leave them false/NULL.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Idempotent.
