marklok points Mike at Danish law

A four-commit afternoon turns this fork into a Danish-market legal assistant with clickable inline citations to primary sources.

searchchat-ui

marklok has wired Mike up to Retsinformation (the Danish government's official statute database) and EUR-Lex (the EU's regulation portal), covering things like the Danish anti-money-laundering act, employment law, company law, and EU rules such as DORA and PRIIPs. When the assistant cites a section, the citation now renders as a pill the user can click to slide open a panel showing the underlying text - the kind of trust affordance that matters when a partner is reading an answer about an actual statute.

The smart bit isn't just the retrieval. If a user or the model references something like "section 42, subsection 3," the system spots that pattern and goes and fetches that exact section directly, alongside the usual semantic search. So precise legal pinpoints don't get lost in fuzzy matching. The streaming UI was also tightened so users can't accidentally cancel mid-citation.

So what Worth a look for anyone building a jurisdiction-specific legal assistant - the citation-panel pattern and the pinpoint-reference handling generalise well beyond Denmark.

`20f4a079`	Add inline law citation panel	Markus	2026-05-08	↗ GitHub
commit body Law citations (Retsinformation / EUR-Lex) now open in a slide-in panel on the same page instead of navigating to an external URL. Shows source badge, full excerpt text, and a link to the original source. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`90a57483`	Fix law citations not rendering as clickable pills	Markus	2026-05-08	↗ GitHub
commit body - normalizeCitation: treat page:null as page=0 instead of dropping the citation (law chunks have no page number) - Emit loading_citations SSE event when <CITATIONS> block starts so the frontend can track citation generation state - Strengthen formatLawContext prompt to reliably produce <CITATIONS> blocks Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`3f95ec9d`	Fix streaming UX: hide stop button during citation generation	Markus	2026-05-08	↗ GitHub
commit body When visible text finishes but the invisible <CITATIONS> block is still generating, the stop button now switches to the send arrow so the user can't accidentally cancel and lose citations. The streaming indicator on the last message also stops during this phase. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
