 Thuki (thư kí, Vietnamese for secretary) is a lightweight macOS overlay powered by local AI models running entirely on your own machine, built for quick, uninterrupted asks without ever leaving what you're doing.
 
+## Project status
+
+Thuki is in maintenance mode. The app is stable, free, and fully open source, and it keeps doing everything described below.
+
+My focus has moved to other early-stage products, so new feature work has stopped. What continues:
+
+- Reported bugs, crashes, and security issues get triaged and fixed. [Open an issue](https://github.com/quiet-node/thuki/issues).
+- Dependency, engine, and macOS compatibility updates keep landing.
+- Pull requests are welcome and reviewed.
+
+If Thuki is part of your workflow it will keep working, and the Apache 2.0 license means you are free to fork it and take it further.

-Hey, Logan here. I'm building Thuki around how people actually use it, so if you have feedback, an idea, or just want to say hi, [reach out on X](https://x.com/quiet_node). Or [leave your email](https://thuki.app/subscribe) and I'll reach out personally. I read everything.

 ### Built-in web search (not in TOML)
 
 Governs the invisible auto-search that runs on the built-in engine: a deterministic pre-filter and a persona-free classifier decide whether a turn needs the web and which source tier (weather, sports, news, Wikipedia, or the general engines) best answers it. The constants below are the deterministic guards that keep the Wikipedia vertical from answering a volatile question from a static encyclopedia summary even when the classifier mis-routes one there, the operators that bias DuckDuckGo and Google News toward recent results on a freshness-seeking question (Mojeek does not get one: see `mojeek_request`'s rustdoc for why), the thresholds that decide what language a question is written in (so a Vietnamese or Japanese question searches the Vietnamese or Japanese web, and its Wikipedia edition, rather than the English one), the keyword map that routes a question to ESPN's live scoreboard, and the recency-prior fusion that, on that same freshness-seeking question, re-ranks the general engine tier's already-fetched sources toward the newest one instead of relevance alone. None are user-tunable. Defaults and bounds live in `src-tauri/src/config/defaults.rs`. Pipeline design: [built-in-web-search.md](./built-in-web-search.md).
