Brings the three compose files in line with rule 198 (milestone 544, step 6203, at the operator's request): - no healthcheck on the app or the database, so a slow pg_isready on stalled storage can no longer get a working database killed; - no deploy.restart_policy in the Swarm file, so Swarm's default (condition: any) restarts clean exits too, instead of on-failure with max_attempts leaving the app down; - depends_on is plain start order; restart: unless-stopped stays on the plain-Compose files (Swarm ignores it), and the dev app gains it. The orchestrator used to be what retried a container that started before Postgres was ready. That is now the app's job: alembic/env.py calls services/db_ready.wait_for_database before migrating. It retries refused connections, unresolved hosts, connect timeouts and "the database system is starting up" with 1-2-4-...-10s spacing for up to 300s, then exits non-zero; a wrong password or missing database fails at once. Per-request recovery is the engine's pool_pre_ping. Also fixes the dev compose database image: postgres:16-alpine has no vector extension, so migrations could not run against it. It now uses pgvector/pgvector:pg17 like the other two files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fabled Scribe
A self-hosted work system-of-record for software projects, built to be driven by Claude Code. Notes, tasks, issues, projects, milestones, rules, and stored processes — reachable from Claude via a built-in MCP endpoint and a bundled Claude Code plugin, with a clean web UI for humans. No in-app LLM; Claude is the sole assistant.
Features
Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, issues, and kanban project workspaces. Stored processes, an engineering rulebook system (with an inception step that decides what each project inherits), and semantic search with proactive knowledge-injection into Claude's context. A knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, and a built-in MCP server (/mcp) plus a bundled Claude Code plugin so Claude can record and recall your work directly.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. No GPU or local model needed — Claude is the sole assistant, reached over MCP.
Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:
# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d
Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. To connect Claude, create an API key under Settings → MCP Access and install the Claude Code plugin — see API Keys & MCP.
Development: To build from source, see Development.
