amal66 makes Mike's audit trail less likely to spill client data

This fork replaces ad hoc chat logging with structured records that make individual requests easier to trace.

securityinfrastructure

amal66 has added a more disciplined way to record what happens during a request, including a unique identifier that follows it through the system. That gives an operations team a cleaner trail when investigating an error or unusual result.

Just as important, the change removes console-style output from the chat workflow where personal or case information could be exposed too casually. It is a useful observability upgrade, but not a complete privacy guarantee: existing logging still needs checking against the organisation's redaction rules and the systems that read those logs.

So what Legal teams running AI tools with sensitive matter data should care because better traceability is only useful when it does not create a second disclosure risk.

SHA Subject Author Date
bfc55399 feat(chapter-05): add structured logs with request IDs Amal 2026-05-24 ↗ GitHub
commit body
Chapter: 05 - Observability.

Plain-English map:
Add Pino JSON logging and attach a request ID to each request so related log
lines can be traced together in production.

Why it matters:
Plain text logs are hard to search once many users are active. Structured logs
let operators answer practical questions like "what happened during this one
failed upload?"

Principle:
Production logs should be queryable, consistent, and tied to request context.

Precedent borrowed:
Upstream PR #156 and common production logging practice in hosted services.

91f95485 fix(chapter-06): remove console logs and avoid PII in logs Amal 2026-05-24 ↗ GitHub
commit body
Chapter: 06 - Privacy-aware logging.

Plain-English map:
Replace ad hoc console logging with structured logger calls and remove log
lines that exposed user/document activity identifiers.

Why it matters:
Legal-document activity is sensitive. Logs often flow to third-party systems,
so they should contain only what is useful for debugging and operations.

Principle:
Minimize sensitive data. Treat logs as production data, not scratch paper.

Precedent borrowed:
Upstream PR #80 and GDPR-style data-minimization practice.

Upstream base: willchen96/mike@d39f580.
Original local commit: 9398be6.
ca69fd8c refactor(chapter-26): bring chat tools into structured logging Amal 2026-05-24 ↗ GitHub
commit body
Chapter: 26 - Sensitive-path observability.

Plain-English map:
Replace remaining console logging in `chatTools.ts` with the same structured
Pino logger used elsewhere.

Why it matters:
`chatTools.ts` assembles prompts and handles model tool calls. It should have
the same traceability and privacy discipline as the rest of the API.

Principle:
Observability conventions should be consistent, especially in sensitive code.

Precedent borrowed:
Upstream PR #156 and the structured logging baseline from Chapter 05.

Upstream base: willchen96/mike@d39f580.
Original local commit: 921ef5b.
