June 2025: The Peachjam feature set for laws-africa delivered automated and document-level summaries with a new case-level AI field and document summary layout, enabling scalable AI-assisted document analysis across the repository. Permissions for summary workflows and document-level access were added and refined, strengthening governance and secure collaboration. The data model was expanded with summary-related fields and migrations to support analytics and downstream UI components. UI/UX and rendering improvements were made for summary presentation (div-based markup, improved order, short headline, AI notice), driving adoption and clarity. Content quality and anonymisation improvements (fallback handling, existence checks, removal of AI field from case summaries) were completed, along with several stability and optimization fixes (taxonomy handling, prefetch, N+1 query fixes).
