jrklaus8 bakes Ontario's conduct rules into Mike
The Canada fork stops treating professional-responsibility rules as a footnote and writes them straight into how the assistant behaves.
jrklaus8 has wired specific Law Society of Ontario rules into the assistant's core instructions. The competence rule is now cited by name, with a hard instruction never to fabricate case law. A second addition tells the model to refuse when someone tries to paste confidential or privileged client information into an unsecured prompt. Whether a language model reliably honours that refusal is its own question, but the obligation is now written down rather than assumed.
The fork also adds a dedicated compliance panel alongside the chat, and stamps plain "AS IS" no-warranty notices across the readme, the opening screen, and the chat footer. Those notices don't change anyone's actual liability, but they set expectations for a tool built on open-source code.
