CaliLuke wires Mike to run on a laptop
First concrete step toward a local-first build of the legal-AI codebase: bring your own machine, skip the cloud.
CaliLuke has plugged Ollama - a tool for running open-source AI models directly on your own computer - into the fork as a third option alongside the existing hosted providers. Crucially, every default in the system now points at a locally-run model, meaning a fresh install assumes the AI lives on the user's machine rather than someone else's servers.
The same release widens what counts as a "document" in Mike. Until now the pipeline only accepted Word and PDF files; plain-text and Markdown notes are now first-class citizens, rendered in the reading view with proper formatting and an auto-generated outline. It's a small change with outsized impact for anyone whose working notes don't live in Word.
