A cautious, lawyer-friendly take on Mike that treats privileged material as the default, not the exception.
This is fayerman-source's fork of Mike, shaped around a single conviction: if lawyers are going to point Mike at sensitive documents on day one, the defaults need to assume that from the start. The work so far is small in volume but consistent in theme - quieter logging, firmer project boundaries, and a gentler on-ramp for evaluators.
A visitor trying this fork today wouldn't see a dramatic visual or product rethink. What they'd encounter is a Mike that leans toward discretion: less material written to disk without asking, tighter walls between matters, and first-run guidance written for someone whose first test will involve real client files.
fayerman-source is operating as a solo contributor for now, and the direction reads less like a pivot and more like a hardening pass - making Mike safer to hand to a lawyer who hasn't read the source.
What's in it
- Quieter by default Shifts Mike toward persisting nothing unless you explicitly opt in, so privileged material doesn't end up on disk by accident.
- Stricter project walls Tightens the boundary between separate matters in the document workspace, so documents can't drift across projects unnoticed.
- An evaluator-aware first run Guidance and configuration aimed at lawyers who will, realistically, point Mike at sensitive material from the very first session.
