prompt_rule, pre_tool_rule and write_path_rule now share one settings key,
RULE_FLOOR_KEY = "kb_rule_threshold", default 0.70. The reply backstop keeps
its own 0.80, because there the floor is a stop bar. Moving the shared floor
through tune_retrieval or the Settings form records a tuning event on every
surface that reads it (set_dial, via retrieval_surfaces.sharing_floor), and
the result names the surfaces it carried as `moved_with`. Settings shows one
"Standing-rule confidence threshold" control where it showed three.

Operator ruling (2026-10-05): one shared bar for the rule arms, "especially
since we're only taking the first x number of them" -- the budget limits
what is shown; the bar only decides what is worth ranking. Kept a dial.

Why 0.70, from records read rather than percentiles:
- write_path_rule near-misses at 0.7199-0.72 were all false positives
  (rule 149 against a Lidarr comment, 157 against a retention Svelte file,
  121 against an Archives restore, 164 against a config test, 131 against a
  Go package), so the old 0.72 was not hiding real hits -- but the band does
  noise control on this arm, so dropping 0.02 costs little.
- prompt_rule: the operator set 0.70 by hand on 2026-09-18, after a 0.60
  experiment admitted junk and was reverted. 0.70 is the number with a human
  decision behind it.
- pre_tool_rule lines near 0.68 this session were mostly noise; rising to
  0.70 trims them, and the band still narrows what clears.

Retired keys: kb_promptrule_threshold, kb_toolrule_threshold and
kb_rulehint_threshold are no longer read. Rows an install stored under them
stay in the settings table, inert. On this instance the effective bars move
pre_tool_rule 0.68 -> 0.70, write_path_rule 0.72 -> 0.70, prompt_rule stays
0.70; record_release_defaults writes those per-surface release rows on boot,
so the telemetry shift has an event to explain it.

Step 3 of the Scribe -> Grimoire rename.

- Plugin `grimoire` in marketplace `grimoire-plugin`, MCP server key
  `grimoire`, so tools reach a session as mcp__plugin_grimoire_grimoire__*.
- hooks/scribe_* -> hooks/grimoire_*, their shell functions and the TMPDIR
  ledgers with them; SCRIBE_URL / SCRIBE_TOKEN / SCRIBE_HOOK_DIR /
  SCRIBE_LEDGER_DIRS -> GRIMOIRE_*; the project marker is `.grimoire`.
- skills/using-scribe -> using-grimoire, /grimoire:sync, stored processes
  arrive as grimoire-proc-<slug>; moment_actions names them the same way.
- Migration 0124 rewrites stored skill names (rule_moments,
  rule_moment_judgments, moment_mappings) from scribe:/scribe-proc- to
  grimoire:/grimoire-proc-, so a rule mounted on a skill keeps firing.
- Settings' install commands and MCP-only defaults, the docs and the
  tests follow.
- scripts/check_plugin.py drops the smoke event for a report-check hook
  that has no file in plugin/hooks.

Kept on purpose: the secret-sealing label, and the names that let backups
written as Scribe restore and be counted.

Step 2 of the Scribe -> Grimoire rename.

- src/scribe -> src/grimoire, and every import, patch target, module path,
  hypercorn entry point and `python -m grimoire.restore` with it; pyproject,
  uv.lock and the frontend package are named grimoire.
- Image git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/fabledgrimoire; CI's Postgres service
  runs as grimoire / grimoire_test.
- Compose files default the DB user, database and (prod) volume to grimoire,
  each overridable from .env, so an install created as Scribe keeps its data
  by setting POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_DB and PGDATA_VOLUME.
- Backups are written as grimoire-<ts>.tar with format grimoire-backup-tar.
  Archives named scribe-* with the scribe-backup-tar manifest still restore
  and are still counted at the destination (folder and S3), with tests.
- Exports, the MCP auth realm, the ASGI scope key and the persistent logger
  carry the new name.

Kept on purpose: the secret-sealing key label stays "scribe.secrets.v1",
because every stored secret was derived under it.

Plugin identity (plugin name, hooks, env vars, .scribe marker, skills) is
step 3.

Step 1 of the Scribe -> Grimoire rename: every capitalised "Scribe" in prose
becomes "Grimoire" ("Fabled Scribe" -> "Fabled Grimoire") across the UI,
the PWA manifest and page title, the MCP instructions and tool docstrings,
hook and skill text, docs and README, with the tests that assert on that
prose moving with it. Old migrations keep their wording.

Identifiers are untouched here: the package, plugin name, MCP server key,
hook file names, env vars, the .scribe marker and FabledScribe repo/image
names move in steps 2 and 3, along with prose that quotes them.

The sweep matched "Scribe" only as a whole word, so describe/subscribe and
friends are untouched. The longer name took the MCP instructions one
character over their 1,600 budget; two phrases are shortened to fit.

The Profile tab said an assistant used it to personalise chat and a daily
journal. Neither exists, and nothing read the profile: the page saved to
user_profiles and the backup carried it. Removed the tab, the client calls,
/api/profile, the service and the model, and migration 0123 drops the table
(downgrade recreates it empty).

Backup format v27 stops writing user_profiles; an older archive carrying the
section still restores, and the file-restore integration test now proves it.

The acceptance greps found what the per-area passes missed:

- src/scribe: "Phase 7/8" removal notes in projects, settings and
  user_profile; a paragraph promising an auto-summary side effect that no
  longer exists; user_profile's claim that "upcoming MCP profile tools" read
  the profile, which nothing does; an instance count and instance rule
  titles in plugin_context; "MILESTONE 323 DECIDED" in rulebooks.
- scripts/: check_plugin's header and inline comments were a history of
  the incidents behind each guard, with issue numbers in two failure
  messages; check_dangling_styles named this app's classes as its examples;
  check_design_tokens, measure_duplication and mint_plugin_version cited
  issues and checklists.
- frontend/src: forty-odd comments with four-digit issue numbers that the
  earlier frontend scan filtered out as hex colours, plus "used to" and
  "Phase N" notes.

Kept: illustrative ids (`#4181` as a bare-id example, `PR #198`), migration
Create Date headers and one migration's dated data floor, and the plugin
skills' worked examples of how to cite a record.

Settings > General > Reply shapes. One menu row per shape (core, completion,
asks, plan): its title and when it arrives, how many of the operator's
preferences adjust it, and its deliveries over 30 days (in full / as a
reminder, "—" when the counts cannot be read). A verdict line leads. Opening a
row shows the shipped text, read-only because it is product, and the
preferences mounted on its moment; each opens in the rule editor, and "Adjust
this" opens a new preference already mounted on the shape's moment with a
starting trigger.

The rule editor takes an optional preset (kind, moments, trigger) and, opened
outside the Rules view, asks where a new record lives instead of dropping it.
GET /api/retrieval/reply-shapes now returns reply_shapes.overview: the
catalog plus mounted preferences (the same lookup that delivers them) and
counts from the reply_shape delivery rows. #5497 (step 5 of milestone 500).

report_preference searched one constant string when a task closed and handed
matches back as update_task's reply_preferences. Milestone 500 step 3 delivers
the reply shapes and the preferences mounted beside them on the moments, so
the arm goes, whole (rule 22):

- services/reply_preferences.py, the REPORT_PREFERENCE RuleArm, its re-scorer
  and corpus entries, and the REPORTPREF constants
- update_task's reply_preferences block and its cue; the docstring now points
  at moment_rules
- the fixed_query field and the fixed_query_never_clears warning: this arm was
  the only one that set it, so the concept and the cannot_decline exemption
  go with it
- the two Settings fields for its floor and budget
- migration 0121 deletes its rows (logs, judgments, rule-usage events, tuning
  history, settings keys), operator-approved 2026-10-09. Without it the
  readout would call the source unregistered and its surfacings would count
  as ambient. The unindexed rule_usage delete is bounded by created_at.

A project's platforms decide which family ideas reach it. This step makes membership answerable from every door:

- services/platforms.py: the global catalog (writes are admin-only and duplicate-gated by slug); pure marker detection; and membership reads and writes. Detection only ADDS, and only where nobody has answered. It never overrides a declared or rejected row and never removes one.
- coverage: the archive scan now carries every path, and the refresh runs detection fail-open.
- inception: a platforms choice (slugs, or null for unanswered). The list is the whole answer: members left out of it become rejected.
- MCP: list_platforms and set_project_platforms; enter_project and get_project carry the project's platforms.
- REST: /api/platforms (admin writes) and /api/projects/<id>/platforms.
- UI: a platforms checklist on the inception card, a Family tab on ProjectView, and a Platforms admin tab in Settings.

Everything an agent can do with moments, a person can now see and change
in the app.

- Rule editor: a moment picker beside the trigger. Catalog moments are
  ticked; a named procedure's `skill.<name>` is typed and checked as the
  server checks it. `moments` is always sent, so unticking the last moment
  unmounts the rule.
- Settings, Moments section (General tab): for each moment, what it
  means, the actions that reach it on this install (shipped ones can be
  switched off, the install's own removed), how many rules are mounted on
  it, and deliveries and agent opens over the window. Below that: named
  procedures with mounts, switched-off defaults with Restore, and a form to
  add an action.
- retrieval_telemetry.moment_usage: per moment, `delivered`, `rules`,
  `opened` (agent pulls after the first delivery there; an upper bound, as
  by_source is) and `last_delivered_at`. No ratio, because a mount is a
  person's statement, not a ranker's guess. Guarded on its own, and also
  reported in retrieval_summary as `moment_usage`.
- rulebooks.mount_counts; mounted_moments now derives from it.
- GET /api/retrieval/moments carries `mounted` and `usage` (?days=).
  DELETE /moments/mappings also reads the mapping from query parameters,
  since the browser's DELETE sends no body.

The reply is the one act no tool call marks, and it is where "let me
know if it works" gets said. A new Stop hook (scribe_reply_check.sh)
sends the finished reply to POST /api/plugin/reply-rules, which checks
it twice:

- mounted: every unopened RULE on reply.report, plus reply.ask when the
  reply asks a question. Deterministic.
- semantic: the reply's head and tail against every rule's trigger, on a
  new ranked surface, reply_rule. It is the backstop for whatever the
  earlier arms missed. Its floor is its stop bar (default 0.80, budget
  1), with its own Settings dials. The new stop_only stage records
  surfacing for the rule that holds and nothing else, because nothing
  else reached anyone.

Following the operator's ruling from 456 step 8, a rule that holds blocks
once, in the server's words. The hook blocks only on a reason it was
given, so an unreachable instance never stops a session, and it never
holds the rewrite. The ledger is the act checkpoint's own, so a rule
holds a session once across both doors and the per-session cap counts
both.

The turn reader moved from the report check into scribe_defs.sh
(scribe_turn_facts / scribe_turn_fact), so the two Stop hooks read a
turn the same way. The output was checked identical on a real transcript.

The shape ledger's divergence readout flagged _gate_setting (#4385).
Reading it turned up a family with no canon: floor_for,
get_duplicate_threshold, get_plan_match_threshold and _gate_setting each
parsed a stored string, fell back to the default (never 0) and clamped
into [lo, 1].

- services/settings.bounded_float(raw, default, lo=0, hi=1) is the pure
  parse, fallback and clamp. Each caller keeps its own get_setting read,
  so tests patching get_setting per module still take effect, and
  _gate_setting still fails open on an unreadable setting.
- SettingsView.saveKbInject: eleven inline Math.min/Math.max clamps and
  the local gateAt become one asBar(v, d, lo = 0), mirroring the server.

No behaviour change.

gate_bars(user_id, note_type) resolves the block bar and, for notes and

`retrieval_telemetry(days=30)` reported, for write_path_rule:

  "the weakest tenth of what this arm returns scores 0.6984, only -0.0216
   above its floor of 0.72"

A negative distance above something. The tenth percentile of what an arm
RETURNED cannot sit below the floor that gates what it may return — not
inside one population.

MEASURED CAUSE. write_path_rule's floor was 0.68 until 2026-09-02, when
2385100 (#3318) raised the shipped default to 0.72. The window opened
2026-08-22, so six days of it are calls made under the old bar; top_score.min
for the surface is exactly 0.68, the old bar still in the sample.

AND THE CHANGE LEFT NO TRACE THE READOUT COULD SEE. retrieval_tuning_events
records dial turns — a person or a model choosing a number. It was silent
about the other way a floor moves: somebody edits floor_default and ships it.
retrieval_tuning_history returned {"events": []} and retrieval_surfaces said
last_change: {}, source: "shipped". All true, and all of it silent about a
floor that had in fact moved.

THE RAISE ANNOUNCED ITSELF. A LOWERED FLOOR WOULD NOT: the gap comes out
comfortably positive and reads as a clean bill of health on a sample that
half predates the bar being judged. Both directions are now pinned.

So the check is SUSPENDED, not softened. band_hugs_floor asks whether the
scores are piled on the bar; that needs the scores and the bar to come from
the same regime. Where they do not, the honest answer is that this sample
cannot say, plus the date after which one can — floor_moved_mid_window
replaces band_hugs_floor for that arm and never accompanies it. A reader told
a number is unavailable goes and gets one; a reader handed a qualified number
uses it.

NO MIGRATION. `actor` is Text with no CHECK precisely so a new kind of actor
is not one — the model's own comment says so, and this is the case it
anticipated. "release" joins "model" and "human". user_id is already
nullable, which is right: no user did this, a release acts on every account
that has not overridden the dial, and a row per user would both multiply and
misattribute it. Both readers now take the newest of (this user's change, the
release's).

THE FIRST SIGHTING IS A BASELINE, written with old_value NULL. Nothing moved;
the row exists so the next release has a predecessor. That null is
load-bearing: floor_moves_since asks for old_value IS NOT NULL, so a fresh
install's baseline does not silently retire the check on every new install.

UI: the tuning history rendered actor as `human ? 'you' : 'Claude'`, so a
release row would have told the operator that Claude moved a floor it never
touched — the one failure the actor column exists to prevent. Three-way now,
with an unknown value printing itself rather than guessing.

Recorded at startup, inline and awaited. What #4181 cost three hours was
concurrency — a background task racing the hook for the same pool. Sequential
creates no contention, and this is twelve single-row reads. It must finish
before serving because a readout served before the change was recorded is the
exact answer this exists to stop giving.

Milestone 419 step 3, the pre-act checkpoint. Every rule surface in this
plugin returns `additionalContext`, which Claude Code delivers alongside the
tool RESULT — so the rule is read after the call is written and lands as
commentary on a decision already made. That is the milestone's central
finding, measured over a session with seven misses, three caught by the
operator and none by this system.

The action arm can now return a `deny` instead. The act does not run, the
rule's text can be read before the call exists, and the remedy is one
`get_rule` call after which the act may be re-submitted unchanged. Nothing
reaches the operator: a deny is a message to the model.

"CONSEQUENTIAL" IS DERIVED, NOT ENUMERATED. The obvious implementation lists
act kinds — a write to product code, a schema change, a bulk classification, a
merge. Every one of those is consequential because THIS operator wrote rules
about it, and shipping that list is this instance's corpus hard-coded into the
product (rule 115). So the corpus decides: an act is consequential when the
install's own rules speak to it above the checkpoint bar. A fresh install with
no rules never stops anything.

FOUR CONDITIONS, EACH PREVENTING A DIFFERENT WRONG. Above the bar; a rule and
never a preference (which claims no such force); the band's top hit only (the
ranker's confidence claim attaches to its first element); and only a rule the
session has NOT opened — `held` is observable from the get_rule PostToolUse
hook (#4100), not self-report.

WHY "NOT OPENED" RATHER THAN "NO OUTCOME RECORDED". An outcome can be
satisfied with one cheap call asserting compliance without producing any, and
a checkpoint dismissible that way manufactures exactly the compliance data
step 2 was built to measure. Reading a rule cannot be faked in that direction:
after `get_rule` the statement is in context, which is the whole of what was
wanted.

THE BAR IS MEASURED. `retrieval_telemetry(days=30)`: write_path_rule p90
0.7628 max 0.8817; pre_tool_rule p90 0.7373 max 0.8293. 0.80 is above p90 on
both and below max on both, so it selects from the top decile of an already
selective arm and is still reachable. It ships as a setting with a Settings
card, because a cosine distance in one model's geometry over one corpus cannot
transfer.

TWO GUARDS ON THE WORST CASE: at most one hold per rule and five per session,
so a mis-set floor degrades to a noisy session rather than one that cannot
proceed. The ledger lives in the swept directory and is named `.ids`, so the
existing compaction-clear guards cover it.

WRITES ARE NOT HELD, AND THAT IS THE OPERATOR'S DECISION RATHER THAN MINE.
`scribe_prior_art.sh` carries a tested property that it never returns a
permissionDecision — a recall aid may not stand in the way of a write. Three
of the milestone's seven misses were file edits and none are reachable from
the command side, so there is a live argument for extending this; that
argument is exactly why the boundary is now asserted by a test rather than
left to memory. The write-path arm computes and returns the same block so the
decision can be revisited with evidence; the hook ignores it, and a change of
mind is a hook edit rather than a feature.

Verified by lifting `checkpoint_for` and `_rule_band` out of source with `ast`
and exercising the shipped functions over 17 populations, by running the
ledger and deny envelope in bash (10 cases, including that a refused hold is
not written and that a garbled rule id fails closed), and by
scripts/check_plugin.py — which caught the unminted plugin version, 0300 ->
0426.

Milestone 416 step 6. A retrieval floor is a cosine similarity, which only
means something inside one embedding model's geometry over documents cut one
particular way. Change either and every floor on the install keeps applying
while describing nothing — and nothing anywhere says so, because the scores
simply come out different and the bar goes on cutting.

`CHUNKER_VERSION` already solved this for documents: stamped per row, so the
backfill re-embeds precisely what is stale. The same idea, applied to the
numbers:

- `calibration_stamp()` — embedding model + document shape, one definition.
  TWO fields, never a fused string (rule 149): a mismatch has to say WHICH half
  moved, because they call for different responses.
- `retrieval_tuning_events` gains `embedding_model` / `shape_version`
  (migration 0104), stamped on every write. Nullable and NOT backfilled —
  "unstamped" is the honest answer for a row written before this existed, and
  it reports as `stale: null`, never as fine.
- `current_settings` reports calibration per dial: tuned rows from their event,
  untouched dials from the registry default's own stamp.
- `retrieval_surfaces` and the Settings panel show the mismatch. The panel
  renders ONLY when something is stale, so seeing it at all is the signal.
- `migrate_floor` / `migrate_retrieval_floor` answers "a path for thresholds to
  be inherited by the next model so that they don't have to recalibrate a lot":
  the raw cosine cannot cross models, but the PERCENTILE it represented can.
  Measure what fraction of a surface's logged calls the old floor admitted,
  re-score those queries under the current model, take the value admitting the
  same fraction. Dry run by default; applying writes an ordinary tuning event
  with the arithmetic in its reason.

Nothing auto-retunes. A stale stamp says a number is no longer a measurement;
it does not say what the number should be, and #4102 measured the one case
where the statistic and the correct action pointed opposite ways.

The load-bearing test is an ABSENCE: no chat-model identifier may appear
anywhere in the calibration path. Claude produces none of these scores, so a
Claude upgrade must trigger nothing — a false alarm here teaches the operator
to ignore the real one on the day bge-small becomes bge-base.

Backup v17 carries both columns, unfilled on the way out and on the way back:
a round trip must not turn "we don't know" into a stated fact.

The last item in this step's done-when: no wording anywhere asks an
operator to tune for correctness.

Four Settings hints told them to do exactly that — "raise it if rules
keep arriving unread", "lower it if a git push arrives with nothing",
"lower this if genuine duplicates go unnoticed". Every one of those
asks the operator to diagnose a ranker from symptoms, which is the job
the model now does from the records: the telemetry says what each bar
refused, and reading those records is what separates a real miss from
a bar doing its job. The hints keep the explanation of WHAT each number
is — that is worth reading — and drop the homework.

`plugin_context.py` said the defaults "are meant to be tuned from
retrieval_logs once data accrues", which was true and had no owner.
It now names who does it and with what.

`retrieval_telemetry`'s docstring gained the warning that belongs
beside it: this readout has been measured pointing the wrong way, so
the ids it returns are the point, not its percentiles.

The other half of the bargain in milestone 416 step 4. The model moves
these dials; this is what makes that reviewable rather than merely
automatic.

THE HOLE THIS CLOSES

Every retrieval floor is an ordinary settings key, and `/api/settings`
accepts any key at all. A floor written through it landed correctly and
recorded nothing — a tuning history with holes in it, which is worse
than no history because it reads as complete.

So the generic endpoint now routes registry-owned keys through
`set_dial` instead of writing them as plain rows. ROUTED, not refused:
refusing would only work for callers that had been updated, while this
way the form, a script, and an old client all leave the trail, and
there is no version of "forgot to use the other endpoint". Clearing a
control is written as an explicit set back to the shipped default,
because the operator reverting something is the single most important
move this history can record.

`set_dial` now also refuses to record a no-op. The Settings form
re-sends every field on every save, so without that one press of Save
would write six rows saying the operator set six dials to the numbers
they were already on — and a history nobody can skim is one nobody
reads.

WHAT THE OPERATOR GETS

`/api/retrieval/surfaces`, `/surfaces/<name>` and `/tuning-history`,
with `actor` fixed server-side rather than taken from the payload: a
payload-supplied actor would let a model claim to be the operator, and
"did I do this, or did the session?" is the first question this list
is asked.

In Settings: the five missing BUDGETS (until now only auto-inject had
one, so the only control over a noisy surface was to raise its bar —
which discards that surface's best candidates along with its worst),
and a "What has been tuned" panel showing each change, who made it, and
the reason given. The operator's own changes are marked.

The MCP tool demands a reason; these endpoints do not. That asymmetry
is deliberate and stated in routes/retrieval.py: the requirement exists
to make the MODEL read the records before moving a number on someone
else's behalf, and the operator is that someone — a mandatory
justification box on every control would be friction charged to the one
participant who owes no explanation.

`report_preference` shipped reading PROMPTRULE_THRESHOLD_KEY, so the two arms
were one dial: tuning the bar for an operator's prose silently retuned the
lookup that runs when a task closes.

That coupling is worse on this arm than it would be anywhere else. Every other
retrieval arm scores a query that varies per call, so a mis-set bar shows up as
a changed clear-rate. COMPLETION_QUERY is a fixed string, so this arm's best
score for a given corpus is a CONSTANT — and a constant sitting under the bar is
a dead arm rather than a quiet one. No volume of traffic reveals it.

Found by the first live read for milestone 394 step 9: 69 calls, 69 declines,
every one naming the same record at the same score (0.7194 against a 0.72 bar).
Reading `best_available_id` (#3807) showed the record was about interpreting a
REQUEST, not about report shape — so the declines were correct and the arm is
healthy. The percentile alone would have said "lower the bar", which would have
delivered a false positive on every completion report ever written.

The bar does not move; the key does. Both defaults stay 0.72, so this changes no
behaviour on any install — it makes "leave this one where it is" expressible,
which it was not before. Settings grows the control (rules 25, 27), and the
default-agreement check grows a row.

Deliberately NOT included: a change to PROMPTRULE_DEFAULT_THRESHOLD. The
evidence for moving it is this install's near-miss table, and rule 115 keeps a
shipped default from being justified by one instance's corpus. That bar is a
per-user setting and belongs in the operator's Settings, not in the product.

Step 4 of milestone 415 "An existing plan is found before a new one is made".
A session that could not see an existing plan made a second one beside it.
start_planning and create_milestone now ask first: an ACTIVE milestone in the
project with the same title, or one that reads as the same plan (title, design
and steps against milestone embeddings), is returned with its progress and a
pointer to create_records(milestone_id=...). Nothing is created; force=true
bypasses.

#3852 and #3853 each added a threshold and neither added its input, so two
of the eleven retrieval settings were reachable only through the database.
The other nine have had UI all along.

That matters because the issue said otherwise. #3927 claimed none of the ten
appeared in the frontend, on the strength of a grep across `web/src` — a
directory this repo does not have. An empty result from a path that cannot
match was read as "no UI anywhere", and a rule-25 argument was written on top
of it. The issue is corrected rather than quietly rewritten: it is #3720's
defect, absence read as non-existence, committed while filing issues about
the product doing the same thing. A grep that returns nothing and a grep that
cannot match produce the same output, and only a positive control tells them
apart.

So this is small, which is the honest size:

- `kb_toolrule_threshold` — the command arm's bar. The hint says why it sits
  BELOW the write-path one rather than leaving that looking like a mistake: a
  shell command is short, so it scores lower for the same relevance, and at a
  shared bar this arm spoke on 2% of calls against the write path's 37%.
- `kb_promptrule_threshold` — the prompt boundary, a third query shape again,
  and the only moment that reaches a rule about how to ANSWER.

Both follow the five-site pattern the existing controls use: ref, clamp on
save, write-back, payload key, load. Separate keys, because the finding of
#3853 is that one number cannot serve arms whose queries differ in shape.

Also corrects copy that went stale this morning. The standing-rule hint still
said the arm surfaces "only rules marked conditional, since always-on ones
are already loaded" — describing a tier milestone 394 removed, on the surface
whose whole job is telling the operator what the bar does.

The guard is the part worth keeping. A form's initial value is a CLAIM about
the server's default, and nothing connected the two: retune the Python
constant and the input keeps rendering the old number, which the operator
reads as the bar in force. It pins the relationship across all five
thresholds, never the values, so retuning stays free as long as both move —
and it is falsified against a drifted form value.

Milestone 333 step 4 — the split #2223 made one surface down, now made for the
third corpus. The arm inherited WRITEPATH_DEFAULT_THRESHOLD = 0.68, a number
measured against code-vs-note-PROSE and never re-derived for code-vs-RULE-TEXT.

THE DEFAULT IS ARGUED STRUCTURALLY, NOT READ OFF A HISTOGRAM (rule 115). Two
facts hold on any install, including one with six rules and no telemetry:

- The eligible corpus is tiny — conditional rules only, a handful to a few
  dozen against thousands of notes. A top-k over forty candidates always
  returns something, so "the best match cleared the bar" stops meaning "a good
  match exists". A bar calibrated for best-of-thousands is cleared by
  best-of-forty as arithmetic, not relevance.
- Rules are short imperative technical English, far more homogeneous than note
  prose. #2223 put the code-vs-prose floor at 0.55-0.63 and set 0.68 above it;
  a more homogeneous corpus has a HIGHER floor, so 0.68 is not merely
  inherited, it sits below where this corpus's noise lives.

0.72 errs deliberately toward silence on an asymmetry that is also structural:
this hint fires on EVERY write. A missed rule is recoverable — it is still in
Scribe and the agent can search it. A hint that cries wolf is not: it teaches
the reader to skip the whole block, and the true positives go with it. The
arm's own comment already said "noise on a hint that fires on every write is
how a hint gets ignored".

Pinned as an INEQUALITY, not a value: test_the_rule_bar_defaults_above_the_code_bar
asserts RULEHINT > WRITEPATH, so tuning the number stays free while inverting
the relationship — which would silently reinstate #3311 — does not.

RULEHINT_LIMIT = 1, and deliberately not a knob. With a corpus this small, k=2
means the second line is almost always the second-best noise wearing the same
confident framing as the first; halving k halves that regardless of the bar.
It stays a constant because it is a decision about how loud one hint may be,
not a per-install tuning question — and a knob nobody turns only adds a way to
misconfigure the surface.

Reachable from Settings, no restart (rule 25), with copy that says which way to
move it and points at retrieval_telemetry's rule pull-through — which step 3
made readable — to tell "arriving unread" from "never arrived".

Every config stand-in in the suite gained the key, not just the one that
noticed. The arm reads `rule_threshold` while BUILDING its search arguments, so
a missing key raises inside its fail-open except and turns the arm into a
silent no-op — indistinguishable from it running and finding nothing. That is
the same vacuous-pass shape that bit step 2, one layer down (rule 33).

Rule 156, across the whole client. `apiGet`, `apiPost`, `apiPut`, `apiPatch`
and `apiDelete` each called bare `fetch`, whose default is to wait as long as
the browser will — not a long timeout but the absence of one. The only
AbortController in the frontend belonged to the SSE stream and was for
cancellation. So every request in the app could hang forever, and there is no
state a surface can render for "pending forever" that is not a lie: the
spinner that never resolves looks exactly like work still in progress.

Found while building the version readout (#3329), which had to tell "the fetch
failed" apart from "still loading" and could not.

ONE REQUEST PATH. The five verbs were near-identical bodies; they now delegate
to a single `request()` that owns the deadline, so a sixth verb cannot be added
without one. 30s by default — long enough to clear a cold embedding call and a
list view under pool contention (#2384), so tripping it means something is
wrong rather than merely busy. Overridable per call via `timeoutMs`.

EXPIRY IS AN ApiError, which is the half of rule 156 that is easy to skip. A
raw `DOMException: TimeoutError` reaches `apiErrorMessage(e, fallback)` as an
object with no `body`, so all ~330 existing catch sites would have printed
their generic fallback and the timeout would have been invisible in exactly
the situation it exists to expose. Rethrown as `ApiError` with a 408 — a status
no Scribe route returns, so it unambiguously means the client gave up — every
one of those call sites now reports it correctly, untouched.

Only TimeoutError is converted. A deliberate cancellation aborts with
AbortError and passes through: a caller that cancelled its own request does not
want that surfaced as a server failure. Pinned by a test, because collapsing
the two is the obvious "simplification".

STREAMS RELOCATE THE DEADLINE RATHER THAN ESCAPING IT. A wall-clock timeout
would kill a long-lived SSE connection mid-flight, but two different waits are
involved and only one of them is the stream: the CONNECT can fail to answer and
now carries a 15s deadline, cleared the moment headers arrive; the BODY stays
unbounded on purpose, since its failure mode is going quiet, which a timeout
cannot distinguish from being idle — that is what reconnection and
Last-Event-ID are for. Reading the connect as exempt because "the stream is
long-lived" leaves an unreachable server looking like a quiet one.

BULK TRANSFERS get their own value, not the default. Backup, notes export and
admin restore walk the whole store and 30s would cut them off mid-work; they
carry 10 minutes. Bounded, not unbounded — rule 156 asks for a deadline, not a
short one, and no ceiling at all is what leaves a restore that died
server-side spinning forever.

Four source-inspection guards in the unit lane (no frontend test runner): no
bare fetch anywhere; the default is actually applied — pinning the specific
regression, since #3329's opt-in shape would pass every other check while
leaving 330 callers unbounded; expiry converts to ApiError; and cancellation
does not.

#3127 checklist 12, plus rule 27 — a capability with no surface the operator
can touch is not shipped.

The step was planned on the premise that nothing read `/api/version`. Two
things did, and the state was worse than nothing:

- `App.vue` fetched it, wrote `version` into a ref initialised to the literal
  `"dev"`, and swallowed the error. An instance that could not answer rendered
  EXACTLY what a healthy local build renders. That is checklist 12's named
  failure — a blank standing in for `unknown` — in the one readout whose whole
  job is to say what is running, and it would have made #3298's debugging
  session no cheaper.
- `SettingsView.vue` fetched the same endpoint again on every mount and wrote
  the result into a local ref no template ever read. A duplicate request whose
  answer was discarded.

So this is not "add a readout"; it is "make the existing one honest, and give
it the three fields nobody could see."

The readout — Settings → Config, first section, beside the other "what is this
instance doing" facts. Three states kept apart, because collapsing any two of
them is the defect:

  not asked yet (tab unopened)   nothing
  answered                       the values, each ABSENT field as "unknown"
  the fetch itself failed        its own message, with a retry

`version` and `channel` prominent, `commit` in full with a copy button so it
can be pasted into a `:sha` lookup (rule 145 — the registry's identity and the
artifact's own must be checkable against each other), `build` kept because its
ABSENCE is the diagnostic part: no ordering key means this build is not in any
update order, which is what a local or hand-built image looks like.

Absence, not falsiness. The payload omits what it does not know rather than
sending `""` or `0` (see `build_version_payload`), so the renderer uses `??`
throughout — `build` is a number and `0` is a legitimate ordering key, which
`||` would report as unknown. `tests/test_version_readout.py` pins that
operator specifically, along with the "no plausible default" property, because
`||` is the form a person reaches for by habit.

Rule 156 — the fetch carries a deadline. This readout is consulted when an
instance is misbehaving, which is exactly when it may never answer; without one
the surface sits on "still loading" forever, which is the same blank arrived at
from the other direction. `apiGet` gains an OPT-IN `timeoutMs` rather than a
default, so no existing call site's behaviour moves. Every other call in the
client still has no deadline — reported separately, not fixed here.

No frontend test runner exists, so verification is the typecheck lane plus four
source-inspection guards in the unit lane, each pinning one property.

Also folded in: `plugin/README.md` now leads with the mint script and offers
`make` second, since `make` is not installed on every workstation.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 d0a2733cb6 fix(design): text on a tint of itself now clears AA app-wide, and the check gates it (#3141)

CI & Build / Python lint (push) Successful in 3s
CI & Build / TypeScript typecheck (push) Successful in 36s

The badge fix (#3132) exposed the same defect everywhere: 48 rules painting a
token as TEXT on an inline color-mix tint of that same token. Worst raw
measurements, across every tint strength in use, both modes, over
page/raised/hover:

  accent 1.53:1 · success 1.67:1 · text-tertiary 2.15:1
  warning 2.32:1 · error 2.36:1                        against AA's 4.5

THE DEFECT IS IN THE HOUSE, NOT IN SCRIBE. The semantic hues are shared
family-wide, and the accent case was measured against every app's real
accent, not assumed from Scribe's: Minstrel 1.81, Forge 1.87, Steward 1.65,
Roundtable 3.01 — all failing. So the six -fg tokens are recorded on
FabledSword (design system 1), where their parents live, rather than copied
into each app.

45% toward --fs-text-primary clears AA for ALL FIVE accents (4.56-5.00), so
this is one house token rather than five overrides, and it keeps deriving
from --fs-accent — an app that overrides its accent still gets a legible
tinted-text colour in its own colour, the same mechanism as
--fs-accent-soft. The tokens are additive: a sibling app is unaffected until
it regenerates its own stylesheet.

One token is honestly redundant. --fs-text-secondary already passes at
4.82:1, and --fs-text-secondary-fg barely moves it. It exists so the rule
has NO exceptions, because the alternative is a permanent allow-list entry
for the one case that happens to pass — and a guard with an invisible
exception is a guard that erodes.

46 substitutions across 18 files, each rewriting only the `color:` inside a
block that tints its own background.

THE CHECK NOW GATES BOTH SPELLINGS. It previously reported the inline form,
because a gate nobody can satisfy on the day it lands gets switched off.
Both are clean, so both fail the build now.

And the check had a false-positive bug worth naming: its `color\s*:` regex
matched the tail of `border-color`, `border-left-color` and `outline-color`,
so it flagged seven rules that were already correct. A border is a non-text
graphic with a 3:1 floor, not text at 4.5. A check that cries wolf on
correct code is one that gets muted, so that mattered more than the noise.

Verified by construction, not by passing: reintroduced each defect form
(exit 1 each), and confirmed a legitimate border-only rule still exits 0.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 c58529718b feat(systems): the catalog reaches the moment a name is minted, and gets a face (#3028, milestone 307 step 2)

Step 1 found the reason the standard names never held, and it is sharper than
"prose doesn't fire": the list WAS real and it WAS seeded — but only on the
inception path, for a project with zero Systems. Ad-hoc create_system never
consulted it, which is how Forge minted "CI and Release" and Portal minted
"CI & release" after the constant already existed. This wires the vocabulary to
the moment that mints a name.

- services/systems.assess_system_name: the local duplicate gate AND the
  catalog lookup, in ONE service function both doors call. The gate lived only
  in the MCP tool, which is exactly how the web UI shipped without a check the
  agent surface enforced (#2482). REST now answers 409 with the System that
  already covers the area.
- An `exact` catalog hit is APPLIED (mechanical — the names differ only in
  spelling). An `overlap` is only OFFERED, on both doors: applying a judgment
  call silently is how a cross-project rule surfaces in the wrong project.
- canonical_systems.best_overlap is the ONE scorer behind the create-time
  offer and the review sweep, so the two surfaces can never name different
  areas for one System. It also takes the catalog the caller already holds,
  so the review is not an N+1.

UI (folded in from step 1 — rule 27, that step shipped with no human surface):
- SystemsSection: a Shared area picker on create and edit, the area on each
  card, and a collapsed review of proposals that appears only when there is
  something to decide. `exact` and `overlap` never share a style — one is
  mechanical, the other is the reviewer's judgment, and presenting them alike
  is how a wrong mapping gets waved through.
- Settings → Admin → Areas: the catalog itself, showing each entry's slug,
  because the slug is what decides whether two names are the same area and a
  rename moves it.
- A picker rather than a live matcher: reproducing the slug rule in TypeScript
  would give this feature two matchers to keep in step — the exact drift the
  catalog exists to end. The server stays authoritative.

tests/helpers.fake_system gains canonical_id=None: an unnamed attribute is an
auto-MagicMock and therefore truthy, which is the trap that helper exists for
(note 2109) and a nullable FK walks straight into it.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5 4179f3e560 refactor(frontend): the second sweep — scoped rules that no longer match their own template (#2962)
CI & Build / Python lint (push) Successful in 3s
CI & Build / integration (push) Successful in 27s
CI & Build / Python tests (push) Successful in 1m4s
CI & Build / Plugin hooks (push) Successful in 7s

The first sweep asked "does this class token appear anywhere outside a
<style> block?". That is too generous for a `<style scoped>` rule, which can
only ever match its own template, the component's root element, or whatever
`:deep()` reaches — so a scoped rule whose name lives only in some OTHER file
is dead regardless. The server's map had this right and my local pass did
not; this closes the gap.

79 scoped classes are absent from their own file. 48 are names their own file
BUILDS — `status-${task.status}`, `pri-${p}`, `toast--${type}`,
`perm-${permission}`, `diff-${op}`, `is-${kind}` — and 12 more are Vue
transition classes. Those are the map's documented blind spot and they stay.
The remaining 19 match nothing:

- AppHeader (9, -39 lines): the whole connection-status indicator —
  .status-indicator/.status-dot/.status-text and the five colour states,
  plus @keyframes pulse-dot and status-pulse, which had no other user. Same
  Phase 7 residue as the last commit. `.btn-icon.active` goes too: `active`
  is never applied in this component (its nav uses router-link-active).
- SettingsView (6): .status-badge/.status-on/.status-off,
  .perm-granted/.perm-denied, .location-row. This view renders no child
  components at all, so nothing can inherit its scope.
- WorkspaceNoteEditor: .note-row:hover .btn-delete and .btn-suggest-tags —
  those buttons are .btn-danger-outline/.btn-ghost now.
- ProjectListView .loading-msg; SnippetEditorView .field-row.three, whose
  media-query companion keeps its live .field-row half.

Checked against child-component roots before deleting, since a child's root
element does inherit the parent's scope id — none of the 19 is one. Template
and script regions byte-identical; both style checks still pass with only
the six pre-existing reports.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5 c5faaf38fb refactor(frontend): delete the dead CSS the consumer map surfaced — 102 classes, 588 lines (#2962)

Milestone 302's map flagged 195 css rows no template names. Re-derived the
list locally with a stricter test than the map's — a class is dead only if
its token appears NOWHERE outside a <style> block, in markup or script, and
is not the static half of a concatenated name (`priority-${p}`) — which
takes the map's known blind spot off the table. 123 survived that; 21 of
those are Vue <Transition>/<transition-group> classes generated at runtime
from a name= attribute (detail-fade, peek-slide, shortcuts-fade, tab-fade,
toast) and one is ProseMirror's vendor class. Those stay. The other 102 go.

- SettingsView.vue (80, -417 lines): whole features whose UI was removed —
  Ollama model management (model-*, pull-bar-*, suggestion-chip), push
  notifications (push-*), the voice library and voice blending (voice-*,
  blend-*), geo status (geo-*), MCP package rows, retention, the learned
  summary, and the form furniture that served them.
- editor-shared.css (16, -151): the standalone assist panel, superseded by
  the sidebar assist section — streaming now renders as .stream-preview in
  the main area, so .assist-panel*, .assist-sections*, .assist-preview-box
  and .typing-indicator have no markup left. @keyframes blink went with the
  last rule that animated it. .editor-body/.editor-main are dead too:
  TaskEditorView replaced them with .task-body/.task-main.
- theme.css: .btn-new-conv/.btn-send dropped from the touch-target list
  (names from another app), and the .hide-desktop utility no one used. The
  generated --fs-* token block is untouched.
- ShareDialog .user-result-email, KnowledgeView .today-link,
  ProjectView .edit-input (the remainder rule keeps its rationale comment
  and its two live selectors).

A selector dies only when every class in its descendant chain is checked —
`.live .dead` matches nothing either — and a rule only when its whole comma
list is dead, so mixed lists keep their live half. Template and script
regions are byte-identical; check_dangling_styles.py and
check_design_tokens.py both pass, with only the six pre-existing reports.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5 a72605de8f refactor(frontend): the last pay-down, part 1 — three dead views deleted, editor rules shared, .page-container + .fs-input canon, rules-shared.css; a one-declaration CSS body is not a shape (#2903, milestone 299 step 5)

The derive queue said the biggest duplicate families were whole views:
TaskViewerView, UserManagementView and LogsView were imported nowhere — left
behind when tasks moved to the editor and users/logs became SettingsView
tabs. Deleted (rule 22). Note/TaskEditorView carried six identical scoped
rules -> editor-shared.css (the .tag-suggest-row gap the scoped copies
actually rendered wins). Three views wrapped the page under three names ->
.page-container in components.css. Three scoped input recipes -> the design
system fs-input recipe (snippet #2336), verbatim, in components.css; width/
box-sizing stay with the caller. The three rules panes share .pane and the
pane heading via rules-shared.css (the auth-shared pattern, #2852).

Ledger: a single-declaration CSS rule keeps its selector in its fingerprint,
so `color: var(--fs-text-tertiary)` under five different names is no longer
a five-file "identical body" family — the first pay-down found that most of
the 148 dup families were exactly this, and nobody would consolidate them.

- assets/auth-shared.css: the five auth views carried byte-identical scoped
  copies of the page/card/brand/footer/field/input/error rules (~60 lines
  each); they now load one stylesheet the way the editors load
  editor-shared.css. .closed-msg/.error-block/.success-msg (identical bodies)
  are one .auth-note; the form rules are scoped under .auth-card so nothing
  leaks into the rest of the app.
- api/client.apiErrorMessage(e, fallback): the one place the {"error"} envelope
  is unpacked; replaces ten six-line `"body" in e` catch blocks.
- utils/dateFormat: fmtDate / fmtStamp / fmtLogStamp replace eight local
  formatDate/formatTime copies (three byte-identical pairs); the file’s old
  Calendar/Home helpers had no callers and are gone. useRelativeTime gains
  relativeTimeOrDate for the two workspace panels’ identical variant.
- components.css now owns the .modal-* shape (overlay/card/title/message/
  actions/btn/primary/danger). It was copied into four views and lived in
  editor-shared.css, which ConfirmDialog — styleless, teleported to <body> —
  silently depended on: opened from SnippetDetailView before any editor view
  had loaded, it rendered unstyled. Views keep only their own overrides.

A forge token is a user's credential, not an instance's. The single
admin-settings config is replaced by per-user keyring rows (one per forge
host), and every server-side forge read runs on the PROJECT OWNER's keyring:

- forge_connections table + projects.forge_connection_id pin (migration 0078,
  which also carries the existing admin config into the first admin's row and
  deletes the old setting keys — no legacy dual-read)
- get_forge() replaced by get_forges(owner_id, project_id) -> ForgeSelector;
  resolve(repo) picks the connection whose host serves the repo. A pinned
  project uses ONLY its pinned connection; a stale pin (ownership moved) is
  ignored, never honored across users
- env FORGE_* config survives as an implicit entry for admin owners only;
  a stored row for the same host beats it
- consumers threaded: pull-time freshness (owner of the note), coverage
  (owner of the project), coverage routes' configured flag
- routes: /api/settings/forge-connections CRUD + per-connection test
  (own-rows only, tokens never returned); /api/admin/forge shrinks to
  /api/admin/forge-webhook (secret only); PUT /api/projects/<id>/forge pins,
  owner-or-admin asking, owner's connections only
- UI: Git Forges card moves to Settings -> Integrations as a connection
  list; webhook secret stays in the admin Config tab; owner-only forge
  select on the project coverage card
- backups exclude forge_connections (credentials, api_keys precedent) and
  the pin, so restores fall back to keyring resolution

A snippet recorded AT the exact file being edited is not a reuse
suggestion — it IS the record of the file being changed. The write-path
hint now renders those as their own SYNC class: 'snippet #N records this
file — updating the record is part of the edit (update_snippet /
verify_snippet)'. Nearby and semantic hits stay the reuse menu.

The two classes dedup on separate per-session channels (exclude_ids vs
exclude_sync_ids, .ids vs .sync.ids in the hook), so a reuse hint shown
early in a session can no longer silence the record-sync nudge when the
recorded file itself is edited later. Sync surfacing is measured under
its own note_usage source (write_path_sync) — its pull-through rate is
the scoreboard for whether edit-time sync actually happens, per decision
#2707 (no forge connection; records stay current in the session that has
the context). Plugin 0.1.31.

ForgeAdapter is now a named base class carrying the shared plumbing
(host join, error taxonomy, contents decoding, archive, default_branch,
latest_commit); GiteaForge keeps its exact behavior and GitHubForge joins
with the real differences: api.github.com / GHE /api/v3 host mapping,
Bearer auth, a commits call for the provenance stamp (GitHub's contents
payload only carries the blob sha), and the codeload tarball redirect.

The contract grew latest_commit, and with it the cached-SHA short-circuit
in pull-time freshness: a stored provenance commit that still heads the
recorded path confirms 'current' without a content transfer — the economy
that fits pulls inside GitHub's rate limits; every surprise falls back to
the full fetch. Webhook deliveries now also accept X-Hub-Signature-256
(sha256=<hex>); the payload shape was already common. Settings card copy
covers both forges' token scopes; the kind selector already flowed from
the server.

Second adapter consumer. POST /api/webhooks/forge validates Gitea's
X-Gitea-Signature (HMAC-SHA256, constant-time; no secret configured =
the endpoint 404s out of existence), extracts changed/removed paths,
and flags matched snippets by writing verification.invalidated_by
{commit_sha, at, path, removed} — the existing attention vocabulary
extended, not a new flag: needs_attention includes it, both filter
dialects (Python + jsonpath SQL) include it in 'attention' and exclude
it from 'ok', and recording ANY fresh verdict clears it by construction
because compose_verification builds a new dict. Unverified snippets are
skipped (already in their own bucket); replayed deliveries at the same
head commit are no-ops; processing failures return 200 with a WARNING +
AppLog canary so the forge never marks deliveries failed and operators
never disable the hook over a transient (#2663's lesson).

Matching goes through repo BINDINGS: recorded location repos are
free-form names ('Scribe') that cannot address a forge, so a snippet
reaches its forge repo through its project's binding — which also fixes
step 5's pull-time resolution for every real record via the same
fallback. O(bindings + snippets-in-project + changed files).

Settings: webhook secret beside the forge config (masked, sentinel-
skipped, Docker-secret env channel, endpoint documented in the UI).
Tests: signature gate, payload parsing, path semantics, both filter
dialects extended in the drift-check guard file, and real-Postgres
end-to-end (flag lands, attention lists it, replay quiet, re-verify
clears, unbound repo untouched).

Step 4 of milestone 288 (decision #2686). services/forge.py defines the
contract steps 5-7 consume — read_file (content + last_commit_sha, the
provenance stamp), default_branch, resolve_repo, check — with GiteaForge
as the first implementation over the REST contents/repo/version/user
endpoints. Repo identity reuses normalize_repo_key: the host segment
selects whether this forge serves a recorded repo, the remainder is the
API path, so no new identity scheme exists. Read-only by construction;
errors never carry the token; first outbound-HTTP timeout convention
(5s total, no retries — the consumer's fallback is the retry policy).

OPTIONAL per instance (rule #115): get_forge() returns None when
unconfigured and every consumer treats None as today's behavior. Config
lives in admin settings (Settings → Config → Git Forge: kind/base
URL/token, save + test-connection probe reporting version + identity),
with FORGE_* env / Docker-secret fallbacks; DB wins so a UI edit can't
silently lose to an env var. Token treatment follows the smtp_password
convention (masked on read, mask-sentinel skipped on write, absent from
audit details) — and wiring it surfaced that the generic GET/PUT
/api/settings dump bypassed that masking for the owning admin's raw KV
rows, so secret keys are now masked there too (fixes the same exposure
for smtp_password).

Contract tests run against httpx.MockTransport as the fake forge — the
reference behaviors the GitHub adapter (step 8) must reproduce — plus
the off-by-default gate, partial-config-is-off, env-vs-DB precedence,
and route/mask structural checks. Also: the step-2 definition detector
learned to skip dunders after flagging __init__ as 'already defined in
4 files' on this step's own build — guaranteed noise for a hint that
must stay trustworthy.

At chunk grain (#280) a note-pair's similarity is its closest chunk pair,
so the shared 0.82 floor saturated the note/task reports with related
families (38 note / 155 task groups against the 200-pair cap, measured
2026-08-09). Split kb_duplicate_threshold into per-kind settings keys
with per-kind defaults: snippet 0.82 (single-chunk, scale unchanged),
note/task 0.93 (points the report at genuinely-alike records). Settings
UI grows the two new knobs; report entrypoints inherit the change via
get_duplicate_threshold(user_id, kind).

#2533. theme.css claimed "removing this block is a rename sweep across the
components, tracked separately" — written in 67a529a, never filed, which made
the comment itself an instance of the survey's presence-without-reference
pattern. This is that sweep.

73 alias declarations deleted; 69 files rewritten; every --color-*-style name
now references its --fs-* token directly. Mechanical by construction: the map
IS the alias block, applied longest-name-first with a boundary guard so
--color-text never matched inside --color-text-muted. Zero survivors outside
theme.css, verified by grep rather than assumed.

One deliberate survivor: --color-shadow stays DECLARED, because it was never
an alias — it is a literal value the design system has no token for. Marked
in place as a recorded gap: promote it to an --fs-* token when a second app
needs it, don't copy the line.

Nothing is lost mode-wise: the aliases' resolve-at-use-time trick (which
absorbed 48 dark-mode overrides) lives one layer down in the --fs-* tokens'
own derivations, which is why the sweep is a pure rename. Both CSS checkers
green.

Why now rather than never: check_snippets_against_design_system reports every
--color-* reference as "unknown — renders as NOTHING", and nine recipe
snippets recorded from components.css carried the deprecated names, making
them prior art pointing the wrong way. With the sweep in, the checker's
report over re-recorded snippets should be EMPTY — the acceptance test that
proves the checker was right all along (#2517's correction).

#2444. Each needed reading rather than a batch fix, and the split was 2 real
losses, 4 false reports, 5 wrappers that are bare on purpose.

REAL:

  .system-card   was a flex row, and every child still says so —
                 .system-swatch and .system-actions are flex-shrink: 0,
                 .system-body and .system-form--inline are flex: 1.
                 align-items: flex-start is why the swatch carries
                 margin-top: 0.3rem: nudged onto the first line of text.
  .systems-list  no rule AT ALL, so the systems list rendered with browser
                 bullets and indent. Invisible to the check — see below.
  .graph-embed   the panel is a flex column whose header is flex-shrink: 0,
                 so this is the item that takes the remaining height. Without
                 it the `height: 100%` on the line below resolves against auto
                 and does nothing, which left the comment above it specifying
                 a rule that could not work.

FALSE REPORTS, and the checker was wrong rather than the code:

`.pane.empty` and `td.num` are base rules for the element that carries those
classes — the check read any compound with more than a lone class as a
modifier. It now records a compound's whole class SET and clears an element
carrying all of them, which is exact: recording the classes individually would
have cleared `.pane` everywhere on the strength of a rule that only applies
alongside `.empty`. Four reports gone, and a check with false reports is one
that gets skimmed.

BARE ON PURPOSE — .rb, .topic-group, .new-topic, .sub-list, .dash-head, and
both .detail-row rows. Each namespaces descendant rules and assumes nothing
about layout, which is the tell that separates them from a deleted base. All
seven now carry a comment saying so, so the next reader doesn't re-litigate
them and a NEW entry in the report means something actually changed.

Also recorded in the script: it cannot see a class with no rule anywhere, since
that is indistinguishable from a semantic-only hook. `.systems-list` was found
by reading the file beside a class that WAS half-styled.

The design surface is for the projects an install tracks. /design read the
running app's own stylesheet — names out of a bundled theme.css, values out of
getComputedStyle(document.documentElement) — so it could only ever describe the
instance serving the page. Scribe is one project among the projects Scribe
tracks; it gets no view hardcoded into every install.

The mechanism that makes this a tool rather than a mirror already existed and
already covers Scribe: scripts/check_design_tokens.py runs in CI against a
sheet path it knows nothing about, using check_code_against_tokens — the same
engine behind check_snippets_against_system. /design was redundant even here.

Removed: DesignView, DesignTabs (nothing left to tab between), api/design.ts,
routes/design.py and its blueprint, the /design route, ui_design_system() and
its setting, and the Settings picker that designated "this app's UI".

utils/designTokens.ts and utils/designDrift.ts go with it — between them they
were the browser-reading half. What survives is utils/designValues.ts, which
works on a record rather than a document: valueForMode, modesPresent, and
resolveDeclared.

resolveDeclared gained real isolation in the move. Custom properties inherit
and `all: initial` does not reset them, so a probe sitting in this page would
resolve any reference a record leaves undeclared against the SURROUNDING app's
tokens — previewing another project's system would quietly borrow this one's
palette wherever that system was incomplete, and a token already reported under
unknown_refs would render as though it were fine. Undeclared references are now
blanked on the probe first, so they resolve to nothing, which is what the record
says they are.

Migration 0075 absorbs ui_design_system_id alongside design_rulebook_id rather
than an 0076 undoing it: 0075 has not run anywhere, since dev is unmerged and
deploys come from main. Both keys named a design source for the running
install, and a project already carries its own pointer.

This retires the agreement panel shipped yesterday. It asked whether the sheet
was actually loaded and applied — the one question a record cannot answer about
itself — but only ever about the app you are already inside. Nothing replaces
it; recorded in #2430 rather than quietly dropped.

Step 1 of milestone #274.

Retiring rulebook #2 left the /design drift panel with no data source, and
because its empty state was well-written the feature read as working while it
could only ever render "nothing designated" (#2419). The original question is
genuinely gone: theme.css is generated from design system 2, so checking the
system against a sheet derived from it would be a tautology.

The question that survives is the one no server can answer. A generated sheet
still has to be LOADED and APPLIED, and nothing checked that it was:

  absent      the record declares a token the app doesn't have — the sheet was
              never regenerated after the record changed, or never loaded
  differs     the app has it with another value — a stale sheet, or a later
              rule that overrode it
  unrecorded  the app declares a token in the record's own family that the
              record has never heard of

Both sides go through the same engine so the comparison is honest: declared
values are set on an offscreen probe and read back, which performs the same
var() substitution the browser already did to the live values. Comparing raw
strings would mark every derived token as drift.

The designation moved with the feature — design_rulebook_id becomes
ui_design_system_id, with a migration deleting the retired key rather than
leaving an inert row. The prose extractor it fed goes too (#2288 said its
runtime role ended when the import landed).

Three orphans of the same shape, found alongside and fixed here:

- darkOverriddenNames hardcoded [data-theme="dark"]. The sheet went dark-first
  months ago, so it matched nothing and the "mode-aware" flag silently left the
  gallery. Now matches the SHAPE of a mode selector, which also holds for an
  install whose modes aren't light and dark.
- groupFor's prefix table never heard of --fs-, so 110 tokens sat under
  "other". Groups now come from the record where there is one; the table can
  only know families that shipped with the product (rule #115).
- The type scale was a hand-written table of nine sizes marked "no token",
  true when written and false since the scale was recorded. Now rendered from
  whatever size tokens the sheet declares, so it can't go stale twice.

`rgba(91, 74, 138, …)` is Scribe's accent in decimal. It appears sixteen times
across five files at ten different opacities, plus once as #5B4A8A. Change the
accent in the design system and none of them would have moved — which is the
precise failure the token system exists to prevent, hiding in a notation that
does not look like a colour constant.

Now `color-mix(in srgb, var(--color-primary) N%, transparent)`, so every one
follows the accent. The design system already uses this form for its own tints
(--fs-accent-soft, -faint, -wash), so this is the established idiom rather than
a new one.

The CI literal count barely moves (45 -> 44) because its regex matches #hex and
fifteen of these were rgba(). Worth stating plainly: **the count was never the
goal, and the check is blind to this whole class.** An rgba triple is a colour
literal in every sense that matters and the report does not see it.

Not touched: the badge palette in KnowledgeView (#7A6DA8, #fbbf24, #818cf8 for
note/task/plan) and the remaining greys. Those are genuine unmade decisions —
what colour IS a plan badge — not drift, and inventing tokens for them would be
deciding by implementation.

#2277 counted ~150 "raw colour literals bypassing the tokens". Measuring them
told a different story: 184 sat in `var(--token, #fallback)` position, and a
check against theme.css shows every one of those tokens IS declared. So the
fallbacks could not render. Not drift — vestigial.

They were also not this palette. The most common were Tailwind and Flat-UI
defaults — #6366f1 indigo, #22c55e green, #f59e0b amber, #3b82f6 blue,
#e74c3c and #27ae60 — a second, unsanctioned colour scheme sitting in the
codebase looking like the app's colours to anyone reading it.

Removing them is not tidying. #2319's lesson is that a fallback is WORSE than a
missing token: a missing token renders as nothing and someone eventually
notices, while a fallback renders something plausible forever. These 184 were
one token rename away from silently repainting the app in Tailwind. The design
token check would catch the rename — but the fallback is precisely the thing
that would make it invisible if the check were ever bypassed.

Literal count 152 -> 45, which matters beyond the number: a report that is
mostly unreachable noise is one people stop reading, and then it stops working
while still passing. What remains should be genuinely worth looking at.

Done with a paren-aware transform, not a regex — `var(--x, rgba(0,0,0,.5))`
nests parens and `[^)]+` would cut at the first one and leave `))` behind.
Verified after: every changed line is a fallback strip and nothing else, and
every var() reference still resolves.

SettingsView and UserManagementView had near-identical button vocabularies —
btn-delete, btn-cancel-delete, btn-confirm-delete, btn-toggle/-open/-close —
defined separately in each. Parallel duplication (#2278's shape), and it had
already diverged twice:

- .btn-confirm-delete used --color-danger in UserManagement and
  --color-action-destructive in Settings. Those are different colours on
  purpose: the house style keeps error (something went wrong) distinct from
  destructive (something is about to). A delete confirmation is destructive.
  UserManagement was showing the error colour for a button nothing had failed
  in yet.

- .btn-remove-slot's hover reached for --color-danger for the same reason, and
  is the same correction. It turned out to be dead anyway — style rules only,
  no template reference anywhere in the app — so it is gone.

.btn-danger-outline was defined TWICE inside SettingsView, at 0.4rem 0.9rem and
0.45rem 1rem. One file, one class, two geometries, ~1200 lines apart. That is
the clearest single argument for this whole task that I have found: the drift
does not need two files, only enough distance that nobody sees both at once.

The registration toggle keeps .btn-toggle-close, and only that. It is bound
dynamically (:class="registrationOpen ? … : …"), so a name-based scan reads it
as unused — checked before deleting. .btn-toggle-open went, because btn-primary
now says the same thing; the close state stays because it must NOT read as the
primary action it sits on.
