Adeu Redlining Engine

**LLMs speak Markdown; Lawyers speak "Track Changes."** Adeu is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a **"Virtual DOM" for Microsoft Word**. It provides a two-way abstraction layer that lets AI agents freely edit document text without destroying the underlying formatting or complex DOCX XML. While standard libraries excel at generating documents from scratch, they fail at non-destructive redlining. Adeu solves this by translating `.docx` files into a token-efficient Markdown representation. **Key Features:** * **Intelligent Extraction**: Translates documents into LLM-friendly CriticMarkup, preserving images, layouts, multi-level numbering, and complex legal gridspans. * **Semantic Appendix**: Automatically pre-computes defined terms, broken cross-references, and likely typos to hand the agent a structured data overview. * **Fuzzy Matching**: Handles minor whitespace discrepancies between the LLM's memory and the actual document content. * **Native Track Changes**: Translates AI search-and-replace text edits into native Word Track Changes and Comments. * **Live MS Word Copilot**: (Windows Only) Can act as a real-time copilot, editing the active Microsoft Word document right in front of you using native COM macros.
