OrigenStudio puts its fork on a leash to the original Mike

OrigenStudio has set up an automated routine that runs every Monday and quietly compares their version of Mike against the original open-source project it was forked from. When the upstream project ships new work, the routine files a tidy, running to-do that spells out exactly what changed and how to fold it in - no one has to remember to go look.

It's a small piece of plumbing with a big tell: OrigenStudio is signalling that they plan to keep riding alongside the original Mike for the long haul, pulling in fixes and features as they land, rather than splintering off into their own frozen version that slowly drifts out of date.
