Exact-mode structure searches now return only the identical compound. get_legal_activity adds an opposition status for European patents. get_file_history labels every document with a plain category and adds a one-line summary of the whole file history. When get_family cannot find a worldwide family, it now says how current Patent Bear's family data is instead of returning an error. No tools were added or removed, no arguments changed, and every tool keeps its existing annotations and scopes."
