Below you'll find the simplest form I can come up with for representing my Calling Search Space & Route/Translation Patterns. My thought process for this is as follows. If a call comes in to a phone registered to CUCM, we want to match that (All-IP-Phones). We're transitioning from 7 digit numbers to 10-digit numbers, so there's a translation pattern that takes a call placed to 7 digit number and tries it w/ the area code pre-pended ...and check for that number registered to CUCM (10-digit-864-translate-864-SIP). We check for int'l calls (SIP864-Intl), and 911 (SIP864-911)*. I have partitions in place I'm not using (SIP864-1803 & SIP864-1864) ...and probably should remove. Our voicemail (currently Asterisk) pilot number begins with 555 so we funnel all those calls down the appropriate SIP trunk (SIP864-555). For Long distance calls (1.@) they're matched in SIP864-LD.
The problem comes in here. I've specified a route pattern that should match 10 digit calls w/ XXXXXXXXXX in the SIP864-10-Digits** partition. (These last two partitions/route patterns direct calls out our sip trunk un-molested.)
The final route patterns are in the SIP864 partition. We allow per-call caller-id blocking with the *67 route patterns. I also have a pattern that should match 7 digits (XXXXXXX) and @ ...which should match anything else, though I've tried to build the CSS so that the @ won't be used. On these last two patterns, we prepend the area code (864) so that we can direct calls out our SIP trunk (which requires 10 digits).
What is happening is a user calls a number w/ 10 digits, it hits the @ pattern in SIP864 (instead of the XXXXXXXXXX in SIP864-10-Digits) and strips off the intended area code and replaces it with 864 ...and the call fails.
I get that @ is a list of patterns, ...and apparently one of them is more specific than my 10 xes pattern above. How can I make it so that users are able to dial 10 digits or 11 digits for long distance, while maintaining the ability to dial 7 digits in-area-code?
Route Partitions in order, with route patterns (except the translation pattern specified):
All-IP-Phones
-- all phones registered to CUCM
10-digit-864-translate-864-SIP
(translation pattern)656XXXX ---> 864656XXXX
SIP864-Intl
0114[0-469]!
011.XXXXXXXXXXXX
SIP864-911
9.911
911
SIP864-1803
SIP864-1864
SIP864-555
555XXXX
SIP864-LD
1.@
SIP864-10-Digits
XXXXXXXXXX
SIP864
864.XXXXXXX
*67.1XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
*67.XXXXXXX
*67.XXXXXXXXXX
@
*Should probably be bumped up ...at least above the Int'l calls.
**This pattern can probably be placed in the SIP864-LD partition, but its broken out now.

In diving a little deeper into the @ route pattern wild card, I came to a discussion on route filters. My testing indicates this isn't the solution, but to report my "progress", I'll include it.
I've created a route filter whose clause states:
AREA-CODE DOES-NOT-EXIST AND OFFICE-CODE EXISTS AND SUBSCRIBER EXISTS
My thinking is that I apply THAT route filter to the @ route pattern, whichever actual pattern WAS being matched for 10-digit calls will no longer be allowed.
In practice, this doesn't work, as the @ pattern is still matched.

Just for giggles, I wanted to see if removing the @ would make it work as expected (since I DO have a 7xes route pattern ...which is all I'd intended to use the @ for anyway). I also tweaked the 7 & 10 digit patterns to [2-9]XXXXXX and [2-9]XX[2-9]XXXXXX.
It works like I want it to. I'm a bit nervous to remove the @ permanently from my CSS, but I've set up a copy of this CSS for testing to see if I run into problems without it.
