Mike Kaufmann README: fork attribution and a quick pivot from Dutch to Nevada

Two back-to-back edits rename the project to "Mike Kaufmann," credit Will Chen's upstream work explicitly, and settle on Nevada as the target jurisdiction after a 36-second detour through "Dutch-focused."

Commit 5d111929 changes the README title from "Mike" to "Mike Kaufmann" and rewrites the one-sentence description. The new copy credits willchen96/mike directly - "Will's original work forms the entire foundation of this project" - and initially positions the fork as a Dutch-focused legal AI assistant.

Thirty-six seconds later, 4bb1967c corrects "Dutch-focused" to "Nevada focused" on that same line. Same structure, same sentence, clearly an iterative fix. The word "focused" loses its hyphen in the process, but that's the only other change.

No code touched across either commit. The Nevada framing introduced here is the signal that the system-prompt specialization (a separate topic) was already in progress or planned. As standalone commits, there's nothing to pull.

So what Skip. This is branding and attribution work with no importable code. The upstream credit is notable as a fork hygiene signal, but the commits carry no technical value for an evaluator.
