Try in Sandbox

Takes only an existing task_id and patent_pns. Uses the task's saved technical proposal, resolves the publication numbers and reuses the CC analysis; numbers not found come back in the result's unresolved_pns. The status is failed when none resolve. At most 200 per call. POST returns running immediately; poll GET /fto_steps/feature_comparison/{task_id} for the result.

Name	Type	Example	Description
`task_id` Required	`string`	`fto-20260917-a1b2c3d4`	An existing FTO task ID, required and must not be an empty string (no auto-generation fallback here). The task must already have a persisted technical proposal, otherwise returns 422.
`patent_pns` Required	`array`	`[ "CN103192928B" ]`	Publication numbers to compare, e.g. CN103192928B; at most 200 per call, and outside the 1-200 range or containing a blank item returns 422. Returns 422 (not a silent empty result) when none of the numbers resolve in the patent library.
