open-legal-products makes Mike's error handling fit for the real world
Mike now gives users safer failure messages while keeping a trail for the team to investigate.
When a legal-AI tool fails, users need to know what happened without seeing technical debris that can confuse them or expose sensitive operational detail. The maintainers have introduced a consistent approach to handling failures across the service, including sign-in problems, third-party AI provider issues and interrupted assistant responses.
Users will see a safe explanation and a request reference that the team can use to trace the incident. The interface also stops passing through raw server messages, while retaining deliberate client-side guidance and clearly trusted, actionable assistant messages. The work is backed by checks covering bad server responses, malformed data and live assistant updates.
