open-legal-products turns Mike into a research desk with document memory

Mike now combines case-law research, clearer AI activity, and version-aware project documents in one substantial release.

The maintainers are making Mike more useful during live legal work, not just more polished.

Case-law research through CourtListener, a public legal-opinions service, lets users check citations, find cases by keyword, and read relevant passages.
A clearer assistant experience shows research activity, citations, and document work as it happens, with better cancellation when a request is stopped.
Version-aware documents let teams upload replacements, review prior versions, and save changed files as new versions.
A broad glass-like interface refresh updates common screens and confirmation steps.

The release also adds safeguards around third-party opinion content, external links, stored API keys, and access to backend-managed data.

So what Legal teams that need research and evolving matter documents in the same workspace should take a closer look.
