+### CL-051: TASK22260 next slice — case direct service final axios dependency removal
+
+date: 2026-03-25
+author: Cline
+scope: `actions/services/caseDirectService.js`
+type: change
+rationale: Complete the bounded case service migration by replacing the remaining direct axios usage (`getAppealID`, `patchCase`) with shared endpoint client reads, enabling removal of the direct axios import.
+impact: Finalizes endpoint client consistency in case service and removes remaining direct axios dependency from this module without changing helper contracts.
+status: completed
+
+Summary:
+
+- Migrated remaining direct axios-based read helpers to `getJson(...)`:
+    - `getAppealID`
+    - `patchCase`
+- Preserved behavior contracts:
+    - `getAppealID` still extracts first non-underscore key value from returned entity and logs on failure
+    - `patchCase` still swallows failure (no explicit returned error contract introduced)
+- Removed now-unused `axios` import from `caseDirectService`.
+
+Validation:
+
+- `npm run lint` -> warnings only (pre-existing `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`; no new lint errors)
+
+Follow-ups:
+
+- Optional next bounded slice: review other direct service modules for any remaining legacy `axios` import usage now that case service migration is complete.
