## Behavioral notes
- Appeals
- Public member purposes marked with `*` are inferred from the member names and the role analysis when the source did not contain descriptive comments.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Most managers expect valid claim/legal-case context before their workflow-specific collections are meaningful.*
- Constructors that accept `inDatabase` and `inSecurityPrincipal` rely on the caller to choose the correct logical database and security context.

> **Note:** Statements marked with `*` were inferred from code structure, naming
> conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available
> in source artifacts.
