foolish-bandit writes down exactly what its fork is for

A documentation suite that quietly settles the biggest question about this fork: who it's built for and how far along it actually is.

infrastructureknowledge-management

foolish-bandit's fork now ships a real set of architecture and handoff docs, and the most interesting thing in them is the scope. This isn't a multi-tenant product for selling to firms - it's a private AI workspace for a single lawyer. The whole V1 is deliberately narrow: log in, upload a document, ask a question, get an answer with citations. The team even names the anti-goal - don't over-engineer it - and sticks to it.

What makes the docs worth a look is the honesty. They spell out what's been decided and hardened - where the app runs, where files and logins are handled - and what's still unfinished, including a backend that isn't fully connected yet and some known setup snags. It reads as a real, partly-proven deployment path rather than an aspirational diagram.

So what Worth a look for anyone weighing a small, single-user legal-AI build - this is a candid map of one team's actual choices and open risks.
