A safety-first take on Mike from @b1rdmania, focused on making first-run setup safe and document exports tamper-evident.
This is Mike as @b1rdmania would like newcomers to meet it: carefully, with the guardrails in view. The work here isn't a redesign of the product - it's about the experience around it. The recurring thread is a first-run that steers people toward disposable, throwaway setups before they wire up anything real, and a cleaner separation between the settings that are safe to share and the ones that must stay secret.
Alongside the onboarding work, @b1rdmania has proposed a contributor guide that spells out safe local testing and how contributors should handle data - the kind of ground rules a legal-AI codebase benefits from having written down. There's also a more substantive idea in the mix: recording a per-version fingerprint of stored documents so that once a file leaves Mike, you can tell an untouched export from an altered one.
The direction is coherent - lower the barrier to getting started safely, and close a provenance gap that matters when the documents in question are legal ones. What's here is largely proposals rather than landed change, so treat this as an early, safety-minded reading of where Mike could tighten up. Click through to GitHub if you want the specifics.
What's in it
- Safer first run Reworked onboarding that surfaces safe local-testing guidance up front, steering newcomers toward disposable setups before they connect anything real.
- Public vs. secret settings A cleaner split between configuration that's safe to share and the values that must stay private, to reduce misconfiguration during setup.
- Contributor ground rules A lightweight contributor guide covering local setup, the checks to run before proposing work, and how to handle data in a legal-AI codebase.
- Tamper-evident exports A proposal to record a per-version fingerprint of stored documents, so an untouched export can be told apart from an altered one after it leaves Mike.

b1rdmania wants Mike's exports to prove they weren't tampered with
An open proposal to fingerprint every document version so a firm can prove the file it holds is the one the system actually reviewed.
