0.5.0 alpha (version 9 test)

IndigoBook-Phoenix (Zotero 8, 9) - v0.5.0

This plugin bundles US IndigoTemp jurisdiction modules and uses dynamic module loading via
sys.loadJurisdictionStyle(jurisdiction, variantName) so multiple US jurisdictions can appear in one document.

It also patches citeproc item retrieval/abbreviation behavior and keeps case metadata synchronized with Juris-M-style
mlzsync1 data stored in Extra.

How Jurisdiction And Court Fields Work

The jurisdiction/court logic is focused on Zotero items of type case.

Jurisdiction Source And Storage

• Jurisdiction is read first from Extra -> mlzsync1 JSON (extrafields.jurisdiction).
• If no MLZ jurisdiction is present, fallback parsing checks jurisdiction: ... key/value lines in Extra.
• If nothing is found, jurisdiction defaults to us.
• Jurisdiction values are normalized to lowercase chain form (for example, us, us:ca, us:ny).
• When saved to MLZ, jurisdiction is written in length-prefixed format expected by Juris-M sync payloads.

Case Item Pane Behavior

• A custom Jurisdiction row is rendered in the Info pane for case items.
• The existing Court row is also patched for case items.
• Jurisdiction options come from the auto-US place map and are shown in display form.
• Court options are built from institution-part abbreviations for the selected jurisdiction, including child jurisdictions.
• Choosing a child-jurisdiction court updates both:
  • MLZ jurisdiction in Extra
  • Zotero court field key

Jurisdiction and Court Matching on Import

New in version 0.3.0, the plugin will attempt to discern the jurisdiction and court and assign proper jurisdiction and court codes to them to reduce time spent recoding.

Bundled translators

New in version 0.4.0, working Westlaw and Lexis+ translators. These have not been merged into Zotero 8 or 9 for a variety of reasons, including my laziness in getting them compliant.

Synchronization Rules

On item add/modify/select/render events, the plugin syncs case fields and MLZ payload values:

• reporter field <-> mlzsync1.extrafields.reporter
• court field <-> mlzsync1.extrafields.court (normalized key)
• derived jurisdiction -> mlzsync1.extrafields.jurisdiction

The Zotero-facing reporter and court fields are treated as authoritative when populated. Blank fields are backfilled
from MLZ data when available.

Citation Pipeline Effects

During citeproc item retrieval, the plugin decorates CSL JSON with:

• jurisdiction from the case item/MLZ data
• country derived from the jurisdiction root token
• authority based on the Zotero court field (normalized)

This is what drives jurisdiction-specific legal style module behavior at render time.

Journal Abbreviations And Preferences Panel

Journal Abbreviation Resolution

Journal abbreviations are primarily resolved from container-title values.

Lookup order is:

1. Primary jurisdiction data (data/primary-us.json) for the current jurisdiction chain.
2. Secondary journal table (data/secondary-us-bluebook.json).
3. User journal overrides saved from the Preferences panel.
4. Fallback word-based abbreviation logic when no table hit is found.

Normalization behavior:

• Keys are normalized (trimmed, lowercased, punctuation-normalized) before lookup.
• Canonical dotted initialisms (for example, U.S.C.) are preserved and not rewritten by fallback logic.

Preferences Panel Overview

The plugin registers a Zotero preferences pane labeled IndigoBook CSL-M.

Pane location and assets:

• content/prefs-abbrev.xhtml
• content/prefs-abbrev.js
• content/prefs-abbrev.css

The panel supports two working modes via dataset selection:

• Journals mode (journals:secondary-us-bluebook)
• Jurisdiction mode (primary-us, auto-us, juris-us-map)

What You Can Do In The Panel

• Filter rows with the search box.
• Click any Value cell to edit inline.
• Save an override for a base row.
• Revert a user override back to base data.
• Add or update entries with the Add/Update row.
• Reset overrides for the active mode/dataset.

How Overrides Are Stored

• Journal overrides are persisted in pref key:
  • extensions.indigobook-cslm.secondaryContainerTitleOverrides
• Jurisdiction overrides are persisted in pref key:
  • extensions.indigobook-cslm.jurisdictionOverrides

These persisted overrides are exposed through Zotero.IndigoBookCSLMBridge and are applied at citation time by the abbreviation service.

Build And Package

Prerequisite

Install esbuild at the path used by the scripts:

• c:\esbuild\esbuild.exe

Bundle Only

Use this to regenerate only the runtime bundle:

./build.ps1

This rebuilds:

• content/indigobook-cslm.js

Canonical Build + Package

Use this as the main workflow:

./package-xpi.ps1

What it does:

1. Builds content/indigobook-cslm.js with esbuild.
2. Creates a package name from manifest.json (name + version) when available.
3. Archives plugin files while excluding helper scripts (.ps1, .bat) and VCS output artifacts.
4. Produces a final .xpi in the project root.

Typical output files:

• <slug>-<version>.xpi

Optional custom output base name:

./package-xpi.ps1 -OutputBaseName "my-build-name"

PowerShell Execution Policy Note

If script execution is blocked, run with a process-scoped bypass:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass; ./package-xpi.ps1

Install In Zotero

Install the generated .xpi in Zotero's add-ons UI.

Project Files

• style-modules/ contains CSL-M IndigoTemp modules.
• data/ contains abbreviation and jurisdiction datasets.
• lib/ contains source modules.
• content/indigobook-cslm.js is the bundled runtime script loaded by bootstrap.js.

Juris-m fields should remain backward compatible, however, please report any failures
