+### CL-044: TASK22260 next slice — document direct service low-risk getJson adoption
+
+date: 2026-03-25
+author: Cline
+scope: `actions/services/documentDirectService.js`
+type: change
+rationale: Continue incremental façade/client rollout by migrating low-risk document service GET wrappers that already return JSON and do not alter hash-signing semantics.
+impact: Reduces duplicated axios `.get(...).then(res => res.data)` boilerplate and aligns document retrieval helpers with shared endpoint client usage.
+status: completed
+
+Summary:
+
+- Added `getJson` usage in selected document service helpers:
+    - `getRepsFromBlobProxy`
+    - `getAwaitingSubmissionFromBlobProxy`
+    - `getFilesFromBlobproxy`
+    - `getFilesFromBlobHashed`
+    - `getProgressFromBlob`
+    - `createContainerProxy`
+- Preserved existing behavior contracts:
+    - same query composition and hash query fragments
+    - same catch-path logging and return conventions (including JSON string return in `createContainerProxy` error path)
+- Left hash-sensitive delete/upload/generation flows unchanged in this slice.
+
+Validation:
+
+- `npm run lint` -> warnings only (pre-existing `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`; no new lint errors)
+
+Follow-ups:
+
+- Optional next bounded slice: migrate selected `requestJson`-eligible upload/generation helpers in `documentDirectService` (non-download paths) while preserving multipart/blob behavior.
