Recent Releases

Unified update-script flag scheme. ./scripts/update.sh (no args) now updates all sources incrementally from each source’s last checkpoint. Source restriction via --source; source-scoping flags (--titles, --days, --from, --to) live at the top level. Old prefixes (--ecfr-titles, --fr-days, --usc-force, etc.) are removed and print migration hints
New --skip-search, --dry-run, -v / --verbose, and consistent --force semantics across all four scripts
New FR checkpoint at downloads/fr/.fr-state.json ({ lastRun, lastDate }). Default update-fr.sh resumes from lastDate. Missing checkpoint errors with a hint requiring --from or --days. Backfill runs no longer regress the cursor (write max(checkpoint, DATE_TO))
eCFR/USC bootstrap (missing checkpoint) now logs explicitly and runs a full first-run automatically
Fixed: --verbose / -v on the update scripts now actually works — sub-scripts accept the flag and pass --verbose through to their convert-* CLI step (previously exited 1 with “Unknown option”)
Fixed: default ./scripts/update.sh no longer crashes on macOS bash 3.2 + set -u; bare value-taking flags now print a friendly error instead of crashing
Security: patched transitive protobufjs (critical, RCE), postcss, and dompurify via pnpm.overrides

Added Data API (apps/api/) — Hono-based REST API serving U.S. legal content from SQLite with Meilisearch search proxy
Document retrieval endpoints for USC, CFR, and FR with content negotiation (JSON/Markdown/plaintext), field selection, and ETag caching
Paginated collection listings with multi-field filtering, sorting, and cursor-based pagination
Hierarchy browsing endpoints for USC/CFR titles and FR years/months
Full-text search with faceted filtering and result highlighting
API key authentication with tiered rate limiting
CLI commands: lexbuild api-key create|list|revoke|update
OpenAPI 3.1 spec with Scalar API reference UI

Docker-based Meilisearch search index deployment (--search-docker) — indexes locally, transfers pre-built data to VPS
Incremental source indexing (--search-docker --source fr)
Docker volume seeding from VPS (--search-docker-seed)
FR content support in the search pipeline

enrich-fr CLI command — fetches metadata from the FederalRegister.gov API and patches YAML frontmatter
Per-source search index checkpoints replacing global checkpoint
FR FrontmatterPanel displays Action and CFR References fields

Fixed sidebar collapse bug where USC/eCFR titles could not be collapsed after auto-expand
Fixed sidebar error handling to show “Failed to load” with retry instead of empty state
Updated homepage sample output and CLI Quick Start
Added planned packages (PLAW, Bills, Municipal Code) to homepage

Federal Register (@lexbuild/fr) — new source package for FR XML conversion
download-fr and convert-fr CLI commands with govinfo bulk and API downloaders
Date-based browsing at /fr/{YYYY}/{MM}/{document_number}
FR sidebar with year/month navigation tree
FR-specific FrontmatterPanel fields (agencies, docket IDs, CFR references)
Search index expanded to include FR documents (~770k documents)
