amal66 puts an alarm on Mike's software supply chain

This fork turns dependency security from an occasional clean-up into a release-blocking control.

securityinfrastructure

amal66 is tightening the less visible part of a legal-AI product: the third-party software that runs alongside client documents and server credentials. Known risks are patched only when the replacement stays within the compatibility range already supported by the relevant supplier, avoiding a scanner-friendly change that could introduce a new production problem.

A security check now reviews every dependency set on each proposed change and blocks unresolved new vulnerabilities.
The one remaining accepted risk is documented with its limited exposure and a condition for removing the exception.
Automated update proposals should bring new security fixes to the team's attention quickly.

The accompanying front-end clean-up preserves application behaviour while meeting stricter quality checks introduced by the upgraded tools.

So what Managing partners, GCs and legal-product teams should care because this is a practical control against third-party software becoming a route to document or credential exposure.

SHA	Subject	Author	Date
`93b1f1a0`	feat(chapter-19): add API linting with security rules	Amal	2026-05-24	↗ GitHub
commit body Chapter: 19 - Automated review. Plain-English map: Add ESLint for the API workspace, including TypeScript and security-oriented rules. Why it matters: Linters catch repetitive mistakes before a human reviewer spends attention on them. That frees review time for product and architecture questions. Principle: Automate the boring parts of code review. Precedent borrowed: Open-source CI hygiene and the fork report's broad hardening pattern. Upstream base: willchen96/mike@d39f580. Original local commit: 276d1fa.
`fd362463`	ci(chapter-20): add dependency updates and ownership gates	Amal	2026-05-24	↗ GitHub
commit body Chapter: 20 - Maintenance flow. Plain-English map: Add Dependabot configuration and CODEOWNERS so dependency updates arrive regularly and sensitive paths route to designated reviewers. Why it matters: Open-source maintenance gets easier when updates are routine and review responsibility is explicit. Principle: Make maintenance systematic instead of heroic. Precedent borrowed: GitHub dependency-management and ownership conventions used across mature open-source projects. Upstream base: willchen96/mike@d39f580. Original local commit: 5723a73.
`bb249e0f`	ci(chapter-21): run audit and security lint checks in CI	Amal	2026-05-24	↗ GitHub
commit body Chapter: 21 - Security checks in the merge path. Plain-English map: Add npm audit and ESLint security scanning to the CI pipeline. Why it matters: Dependency risk and unsafe patterns should show up during pull request review, not after deployment. Principle: Security automation belongs where code is merged. Precedent borrowed: The fork report's dominant security PR cluster and common CI hardening practice. Upstream base: willchen96/mike@d39f580. Original local commit: 8cda4ca.
