bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	77bb3729a3	refactor(tests): per-model fakes, FakeMCP and session mocks come from tests/helpers (#2825, milestone 296 area 1, batch 2) ... Second pass over the tests/ ledger after bbee0d0. fake_record(**attrs) is the one MagicMock-with-real-attributes builder (to_dict mirrors them; the note-2109 hazard documented once); fake_note/fake_task/fake_snippet/ fake_project/fake_milestone/fake_system/fake_rulebook/fake_topic/fake_rule carry each model's ordinary defaults on top of it, replacing 14 per-file factories (two rulebook trios in tool-vs-service wordings, _fake_task, _fake_ms, _fake_project, _plan_note, _fake_snippet, two _snippet adapters now one-liners over fake_snippet). FakeMCP replaces the five closure-over-a-list registrar fakes (+ _Recorder); loc() and design_token_stub() replace the paired _loc / _token / _T stand-ins; every hand-built async_session mock (9 helper defs and 14 inline copies) now starts from make_mock_session(). Call sites rewritten by AST with each file's former defaults made explicit, so behaviour is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-21 11:13:17 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	bbee0d0db1	refactor(tests): one definition each for the copied fixtures and fakes (#2825, milestone 296 area 1) ... The shape ledger showed the same test scaffolding defined over and over: _bind_user x12 (byte-identical), _dispose_engine x10 in three wordings, _no_supersession x3, _make_mock_session x7 in three subsets, a get-or-create User helper x2 (+3 inlined), and fifteen hand-rolled MagicMock note factories each re-explaining the same "an auto-MagicMock attribute is truthy" hazard (note 2109). Now: conftest.py carries _bind_user / _dispose_engine / _no_supersession as opt-in fixtures (pytestmark = usefixtures(...) per module, so unit tests pay nothing), and tests/helpers.py carries make_mock_session(), ensure_user() and fake_note(**attrs) — the hazard documented once, real values on every attribute the product reads. Call sites were rewritten by AST so titles with dashes and commas survived; the three SimpleNamespace _note stand-ins that only feed a single function stay local.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	d74a244b3a	feat(ledger): divergence readout — button B where button A is canon, shape history, and judged-shape recheck (#2793, milestone 294 step 7) ... Every judgment now goes through one helper that remembers the fingerprint judged (classified_sha) and writes a code_shape_events row; the sync writes vanished / reappeared / drifted events and flags recheck_at when a body moves under an instance/variant. The refresh flags diverges_from on shapes new since the previous computation that sit where one canon dominates the judged siblings of their directory+kind and were not proposed as that canon (a first seed flags nothing); the write-path hint asks the same question in-band for the shapes the hook names. list_shapes(flag=divergence|recheck), shape_history(project_id, path, symbol) (read-only), coverage line/payload/ card carry divergent + recheck. Backup v8 carries the history. Plugin 0.1.36. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-20 23:13:39 -04:00

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	ba0030e51d	feat(ledger): mechanical proposer — every refresh proposes instances against canon and groups derive-first candidates; agents confirm in batches (#2792, milestone 294 step 6) ... Shapes now carry a content fingerprint (signature + whitespace/comment- insensitive body_sha; migration 0080) and the proposer runs inside the coverage refresh, the one moment bodies exist: symbol elsewhere → textual containment → body references the canon → signature resemblance → semantic (capped per refresh, unreached rows stay unexamined for the next). A hit is a proposal on the row (proposed_snippet_id/basis/score), never a classification; rows with no canon hit group by the derive-first rule (identical body in ≥2 places, same name in ≥3 files) as proposal_basis= derive + a group key. list_shapes(proposal=any|canon|derive|<basis>) is the queue; confirm_shape_proposals(project_id, snippet_id|path|basis) confirms in batches as agent instances; any classify_shapes/hook stamp retires the proposal. Readout carries proposed + derive_groups (line, payload, card). Plugin 0.1.35 (skill: the machine proposes, judgment classifies).

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	475f0857c9	feat(ledger): write-path stamping — a pulled canon the session then instantiates lands as a hook instance row (#2791, milestone 294 step 5) ... The prior-art hook now names the shapes being written (shapes=kind:name — every definition in the payload, or the one enclosing an Edit found by walking the file upward) and the server stamps them as instance rows when the session PULLED a snippet inside PULL_WINDOW that the payload references by symbol or that the semantic arm scored for this very payload. classified_by=hook, evidence in reason; never overrides a judgment or a canonical row, overridable by classify_shapes. Offered-but-unopened stamps nothing. Pulled-and-already-seen snippets stay in the semantic query as evidence without re-entering the deduped menu. A brand-new shape gets a provisional row the next sync confirms or vanishes. Read-scoped keys get the hint, never the stamp. Plugin 0.1.34.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	e2a084f1fb	feat(ledger): coverage self-seeds — enter_project background refresh + refresh_pattern_coverage tool + shape-accounting skill (#2802, milestone 294) ... The UI Refresh button must not be the only seed path (operator directive, hit live: the P7 backfill stalled waiting for a click). Three parts: - enter_project fire-and-forgets refresh_if_stale on the project OWNER — absent or day-old readouts recompute in the background (same spawn the webhook path uses), the enter stays fast, forge-less owners exit quietly (rule #115 baseline), and an in-flight guard keeps concurrent enters from fetching the same tarball N times. - refresh_pattern_coverage(project_id): the synchronous agent-facing form — write-gated, owner-keyring resolution, and ValueError messages that name the fix (add a connection / bind_repo) instead of measuring nothing silently. - plugin 0.1.33 ships the shape-accounting skill: the five statuses, the seed/todo/judge loop, and the derive-first rule, triggered by the coverage line or any proved code-to-canon relationship.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	5265d11a6a	feat(systems): bootstrap mints directly — the standard vocabulary replaces operator approval (#2798) ... Operator directive: creating Systems is the agent's call, not an approval flow — "propose to the operator, create each confirmed one" made the operator a permission gate. The bootstrap ask now says create_system 3-6 directly, in-session, and the consistency that approval was covering moves to a standard cross-project vocabulary (CI & Release, Auth & Access, Data Model & Storage, API Surface, UI & Design, Import & Export, Background Jobs, Observability): use the standard name verbatim where the area fits, mint freely beyond it, the duplicate gate guards sprawl. create_system and enter_project docstrings carry the same contract.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	942edd1eb5	feat(ledger): classify_shapes + list_shapes MCP tools; get_snippet carries the consumer map (#2789, milestone 294 step 3) ... The judgment write path. classify_shapes applies a batch of classifications to a project's live ledger rows — all-or-nothing (#2709's lesson: the whole batch is validated, write-ACL'd, and every snippet target proven readable before any row is touched); rows match by exact (path, symbol), kind narrows, and shapes no live row matches come back as 'unmatched' rather than errors. variant/exempt REQUIRE the reason — the why is the record (note 2786) — and 'unclassified' deliberately withdraws a judgment back to the todo. The 'via' channel is caller-restricted to agent|audit|import; hook and mechanical stay server-internal so a caller can't launder judgment as machinery. list_shapes is the todo query (status=unclassified) with composable filters: path is exact-or-under like recorded locations, snippet_id reads a consumer map, include_vanished reads history; paged with the true total. get_snippet now attaches and — the structured consumer map, filtered to projects the CALLER can read so a shared snippet never side- channels another project's file layout; attached only when non-empty (#2483). Integration tests pin the batch atomicity, ACL gates, filter composition, the consumer map on the MCP pull, and the SET NULL companion: a judgment whose snippet was purged rejoins the todo on the next sync.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	9b1597a3c9	feat(ledger): coverage refresh feeds the shape ledger; the readout inverts to accounting (#2788, milestone 294 step 2) ... compute_coverage is now the ledger's sync point: every walk upserts the extracted shapes (new → unclassified, the todo state; surviving → last-seen bump; vanished → stamped, kept as history), re-files judgments whose snippet target went away, and mechanically stamps snippet reference locations as canonical — the one always-safe rule, self-healing only for its own stamps (an agent's judgment is never unwound by machinery). The covering predicate moves to shape_ledger.location_covers as the single home (match_shapes retired with its consumer); coverage's payload and line invert from 'N/M shapes recorded' to shape ACCOUNTING per note 2786: accounted/total with a canonical·instance·variant·exempt breakdown, and unclassified — THE todo — with its largest directories. Cache key bumps to v2 so pre-ledger blobs honestly read 'not measured yet' instead of rendering in a shape no longer spoken. Readout is deliberately project-wide (all repos' live rows), while the walk serves whichever repos the owner's keyring reaches this refresh. Integration tests pin the new contract: rows for every extracted shape, mechanical canonical stamps carrying snippet ids, idempotent recompute, agent judgments surviving recompute AND vanish/return, vanished rows leaving the readout but keeping their history.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	19fdc9aa89	feat(ledger): code_shapes — the shape ledger schema (#2787, milestone 294 step 1) ... The accounting half of the pattern system (governing note 2786): the snippet library records canon (small), this table accounts for EVERY extracted shape (total). Identity is (project, repo_key, path, symbol, kind) — kind included because one file can define '.foo' (css) and 'foo' (sym) as distinct shapes. Status vocabulary: canonical / instance / variant / exempt / unclassified, with unclassified as the default and THE todo state; classifications carry who judged (agent|audit|hook|mechanical|import), when, and the why for variants/exemptions. first/last-seen commits + vanished_at keep history instead of deleting it; a rename reads as vanish+new (accepted for v1). snippet_id is SET NULL on snippet deletion so accounting rows outlive their target and rejoin the todo via the step-2 sync, never dangle silently. Backups: v7 carries code_shapes (judgment data, worth moving) — full and per-user export sections, and a restore that keeps a judgment only when its snippet survives the id re-mapping, downgrading to unclassified otherwise.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	1faf8f3ece	feat(forge): per-user forge connections — keyring, host-keyed resolution, project pin (#2778) ... 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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-19 11:23:22 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	7a5e2b18d9	feat(systems): evidence-carrying bootstrap ask for mature zero-Systems projects (#2683) ... The generic zero-state systems_hint never converts: identical on every record, maximal in scope, asked at wrap-up time — Minstrel reached 282 records with zero Systems while vocabularied projects grew organically. What converts is the project's own evidence at the moment of action. bootstrap_systems_ask (mcp/tools/systems.py) fires only in a project with >=20 records and no Systems: it names the record count and recent titles, and asks for a concrete deliverable — propose 3-6 Systems, confirm with the operator, create_system the set. Self-retiring: the first System ends it everywhere. Wired at both moments the task named: untagged_systems_hint escalates to it at write time, and enter_project carries it as systems_bootstrap at arrival (attached only when it applies). Young projects keep the mild question; populated vocabularies never pay the count query. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-17 14:53:46 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	d6c9f08a59	fix(mcp): reject undeclared tool arguments instead of silently dropping them (#2709) ... FastMCP validates tool arguments with a pydantic model whose extra-field policy is 'ignore', so create_note(content=...) — a plausible near-miss for body=, primed by add_task_log's content — ran successfully, stored body: '', and left a record embedding/search cannot see. Two real notes were persisted body-less before the pattern was noticed; create_task only 'worked' because those calls happened to use the right name. StrictArgsFastMCP rejects any tool call carrying arguments the tool does not declare, before dispatch, with a did-you-mean hint when one is close and the declared list when none is. Applied at the dispatch seam so every tool gets the guarantee — an error the caller sees once beats data half-written forever.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	3162332a13	feat(prior-art): edit-time record-sync nudge — the sync class (#2708) ... 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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-16 20:05:01 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	765635bbf2	feat(forge): GitHub adapter — second implementation keeps the seam a contract (#2693, milestone 288 step 8) ... 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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-16 16:18:16 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	cbccb6bd5d	feat(coverage): pattern-library coverage measurement (#2692, milestone 288 step 7) ... Server-side shape enumeration per bound repo — one archive download via the forge adapter, definitions extracted with a Python mirror of the write-path hook's awk rules (shared test vectors pin the two together) — compared against recorded snippet locations by path+symbol. Summary is cached in the settings KV with a freshness stamp; recomputed on webhook push (spawned off the delivery path) or explicit refresh, never in a request path. Surfaces: GET/POST /api/projects/<id>/coverage[/refresh], a project-page card (estimate-labeled, largest-gaps chips), and a one-line evidence-carrying entry in enter_project read from cache only.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	89b07f7857	feat(forge): push webhook flags drift at the moment the repo moves (#2691) ... 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).

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	2fce57847b	feat(snippets): pull-time freshness — the forge confirms the cache at the moment it's trusted (#2690) ... First consumer of the forge adapter. attach_live_body decorates both pull surfaces (MCP get_snippet, REST detail) with body_source + body_freshness when the instance has a forge: 'current' means the cached code was just found verbatim (whitespace-normalized, the same normalization the verdict hash uses) in the fetched file, and provenance restamps to the file's last commit — reflected in the response and persisted in the background. A snippet body is a FRAGMENT of its file, so a fetch can honestly CONFIRM the cache or report divergence, never clobber the record with the whole file: 'diverged' is the reader's information, and a 404 stamps the mechanically-true 'missing' verdict into the existing attention state — once, not on every pull of an already-flagged record. The probe never raises and never blocks past 2.5s (tighter than the adapter's own timeout — the pull is where a session decides whether pulling is worth it, #2663's finding); a hung forge costs bounded time and the cache serves. A no-forge instance's response stays byte-identical to today's (rule #115 baseline, pinned by test). services/background.py is the new one home for fire-and-forget tasks with strong references (the #2663 GC footgun) — telemetry's two copies predate it and keep their bespoke canaries; new callers use this.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	13e428c596	feat(forge): adapter seam + Gitea implementation — optional read access to the operator's forge (#2689) ... 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.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	1e7f66e72d	feat(snippets): body provenance — the cache-with-provenance half of the pointer model (#2688) ... Decision #2686: the recorded location is the source of truth for a snippet's code; the stored body is a cache of it. data.provenance now records what the cache is a cache OF — commit_sha + fetched_at — as a carried JSONB field following the verification precedent, so no migration is needed and absence keeps today's exact semantics. The rules: provenance follows the code (fresh SHA restamps it, a code edit without one drops it, a metadata edit carries it); writes ABOUT the code carry it — record_verification rebuilds data from scratch and would otherwise erase it silently; an ok verdict at a known commit restamps it, since the checker just proved the cache matches the source there. verify_snippet verdicts also record the commit they ran at, making "the repo moved on since the check" computable once the forge integration lands. create/update/verify MCP tools take commit_sha (git rev-parse HEAD — free for any session with a checkout). Unit tests pin the compose/carry logic; real-Postgres integration tests run create→verify→update end-to-end (#2663: DB paths get no mocked-only coverage).

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	8407368c0c	fix(hooks): definition detector covers all code, not a language shortlist (#2682) ... ARM 1 extracted definitions with patterns for CSS/JS/TS/Python only — the languages of the repo it was born in — so the local duplication proof, and the #2664 record nudge gated on it, were structurally unreachable in Go/Kotlin/Rust projects (Minstrel, FabledExchange): precisely where recording was observed never to happen. One modifier-strip plus a definition-keyword family (func/fun/fn/function/ def/sub, struct/trait/interface/enum/object/protocol/type, plus Go method receivers) now covers them all; impl is excluded because several impl blocks per type is normal Rust, and keyword-less declarations (C/Java/Dart) are documented out of scope. Grep patterns mirror the same forms so hits are definitions, never call sites. Parameterized tests pin the coverage per language family. Plugin 0.1.30.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	2d58e74ec7	feat(reuse): recording model becomes the pattern library — every shape at first build (#2687) ... Decision #2686: snippets are the project's pattern library, not a dedup net. The floor, the reusing-code skill, and the snippet tool docstrings now state the proactive model — record every shape the first time it is built, with no will-it-recur judgment, and start later instances from the recorded shape; second-copy consolidation stays as the backstop. The floor guard test pins all three elements (tool, first-build trigger, backstop) so the model cannot silently regress to the reactive wording.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	4107b17727	fix(telemetry): usage readout grouped by a rebuilt CASE — group by the label instead (#2663 root cause) ... CI's new integration tests reproduced the outage on a clean database and named the half: the writes land fine, and usage_for_notes fails on EVERY call. The GROUP BY rebuilt the ambient case() expression, and asyncpg's expanding IN-parameters give each instance its own bind names — so Postgres sees a SELECT expression the GROUP BY doesn't cover and rejects the query with a GroupingError, which the old code swallowed into zeros. One labelled expression, grouped by its label. The deployed table has been accumulating events all along; history appears as soon as this deploys. Also: the two hook-execution tests now run with the real PATH and skip when the hook's tools are absent (the restricted-PATH convention next door is for silence contracts, where empty-for-the-wrong-reason still passes) — and the unit lane installs jq so 'skip' never quietly becomes 'nowhere'.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	fb757fb4ba	feat(reuse): recording gets a seam — the prior-art hook asks for create_snippet when duplication is proven and unrecorded (#2664) ... Zero snippets were ever recorded outside sessions already thinking about snippets: the read side had a real seam (the PreToolUse hook) and the record side had a trailing clause of a floor bullet. The trigger moment — 'I just wrote the second copy' — is mid-Write/Edit, so the nudge now rides the same hook: when the local arm proves the definition exists elsewhere in the repo AND Scribe returned no record of it, the context block asks for create_snippet. Both gates or silence, so a brand-new helper and an already-recorded one stay nudge-free. Floor bullet promoted to name the trigger moments (extract, hoist, second copy); guarded by test the same way the Systems reflex is. Plugin 0.1.29 so the cache picks up the hook (#2209).

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	77acee9239	fix(telemetry): usage counters get canaries, task references, and the missing integration tests (#2663) ... The deployed instance ran with every usage counter at zero while surfacing demonstrably fired. Every unit test was green because every unit test mocked either _schedule or the session — the two functions that touch the database ran against real Postgres nowhere. Both telemetry writers also held no reference to their fire-and-forget tasks (the loop keeps only weak ones), and swallowed every failure into logger.debug, so a total outage was indistinguishable from an unused corpus. - note_usage + retrieval_telemetry keep strong task references until done - failures log at WARNING; note_usage additionally drops one AppLog error row per process per site, so the admin UI shows the outage without host access - integration tests cover _insert_events -> usage_for_notes and the full record_pulled chain on a running loop, splitting the write and read halves so a failure names its side Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-14 21:45:32 -04:00

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	3455f9cb9a	refactor(systems): one seam — the Systems question rides every read and write of a record ... Scribe issue #2570, from the operator's challenge: the invariant is "always be asking whether what you're touching is a System's territory and whether the work is filed there" — not a nudge in one corner. The prior shape failed it twice: the hint fired only on creates (with a special-cased zero-Systems branch), and get_task/get_note returned records WITHOUT their Systems, so the read-side reflex had nothing to fire on (same per-kind asymmetry as #2481). - attach_systems(): single helper used by get/create/update for tasks, notes, and snippets, plus add_task_log. Tagged records always show `systems`; an untagged project record carries the `systems_hint` question instead. Neither field attaches empty (#2483). Hint is owner-only; everything fail-open (#2109). - untagged_systems_hint unified to ONE question — the vocabulary listing varies, the question doesn't; the zero-Systems branch stops being special text. - Docstrings state the uniform contract; floor prose now names the read-side reflex (systems visible -> list_system_records the pile). - Plugin 0.1.27 -> 0.1.28.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	56b1952de5	fix(systems): sweeps are the discovery moment — zero-Systems hint, create_system dedup gate, prose inverted ... First real-world test of the #2562 fixes (Scribe issue #2569): a Forge session ran a whole-codebase audit and created zero Systems — endorsed by the shipped guidance, whose "no particular area takes none" clause read as an exemption for exactly the record type that enumerates the subsystem vocabulary. And the systems_hint was silent for a zero-Systems project, the one state nothing else nudges out of. - systems_hint gains a zero-Systems branch: prompt the FIRST create_system instead of going quiet. - create_system is duplicate-gated like the other creates (normalized name, archived included, fail-open) — liberal creation becomes safe by construction, so the guidance can stop preaching restraint. - Prose inverted on every surface (hint text, create_system docstring, floor bullet, using-scribe step 7): audits/sweeps take several tags and mint the Systems they name; the gate is the guardrail against sprawl, not holding back; only a record genuinely about no particular area goes untagged. - Plugin 0.1.26 -> 0.1.27.

Claude Code injects only the first ~2,048 chars of an MCP server's instructions and silently cuts the rest mid-word (#2562, observed live): _INSTRUCTIONS was 20,002 chars, so ~90% — including all Systems tagging guidance — never reached any session. Rearchitect delivery around what each surface actually delivers: - _INSTRUCTIONS becomes a 1,997-char purpose-sorted map, with a header comment stating the budget and where detail belongs instead. - Tool docstrings keep the per-tool HOW (audit: nearly all displaced topics were already duplicated there); backfill the four gaps — enter_project session scoping + project bootstrap, create_rule entity-vs-rule test, create_design_system not-a-rulebook, create_system two-records test. - The plugin static context (the delivery floor) gains the tag-to-Systems reflex and a surfaces-layering statement; plugin 0.1.25 -> 0.1.26 so the executing cache refreshes (#2209). - create_task / create_note / create_snippet return a systems_hint when a record is created untagged in a project that has Systems — in-band at the exact write it applies to, fail-open like the dedup gate. - Guards: _INSTRUCTIONS length budget, floor-states-the-reflex, and a displaced-topics sweep asserting every cut topic still lives on a delivered surface.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	272b7dbddf	feat(dedup): per-kind duplicate-report floors — notes/tasks default 0.93 ... 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).

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	041d8defbc	feat(embeddings): best-chunk-per-note on every retrieval surface (#280 step 4) ... A note's relevance is now its best chunk's similarity, everywhere: - semantic_search_notes keeps the indexed raw-distance top-k and over-fetches chunk rows (x4, composing with the x3 supersession over-fetch), then collapses to first-appearance-per-note — rows arrive distance-ordered, so first is best. Every ranked consumer (MCP/REST search, Browse, auto-inject, write-path, gate) inherits through the one function. - list_notes semantic q swaps its join for a correlated MIN-distance subquery — the join would have repeated a long note once per matching chunk and made total count chunks. - the duplicate report groups its self-join by note pair on MIN(distance): pair similarity = closest chunk pair, and the < join now also drops cross-chunk self-pairs that would flag every long note against itself. - the write gate queries once per chunk of the candidate (capped at 8), so a note duplicating an existing record in ONE SECTION is caught — the whole-document query diluted exactly the section that mattered. Integration test now seeds a two-chunk note and pins the collapse against real pgvector.

bvandeusenandClaude Fable 5	0e70a3896b	feat(embeddings): per-chunk rows — schema, write path, version-aware backfill (#280 steps 2+3) ... note_embeddings becomes one row per chunk: PK (note_id, chunk_index), plus chunk_text (what this vector actually encodes) and chunker_version. Migration 0077 clears the table — embeddings are derived (0067 precedent) and the old whole-document rows are indistinguishable from single-chunk notes, so the startup backfill regenerates the corpus at the new shape. The backfill is now version-aware: a future shape change is a CHUNKER_VERSION bump that re-embeds exactly the stale notes, not another wipe. upsert_note_embedding takes (title, body) and chunks internally — one path for the write path, the recurrence spawn and the backfill. The recurrence spawn's own embed call is deleted outright: create_note already embeds via embed_note (#2056), so the spawn was a second copy of the rule. An emptied record now CLEARS its stale vectors instead of leaving them findable.

The new shape: split at markdown headings (fence-aware), merge small sections, split oversize ones at paragraph boundaries, title-anchor every chunk, repeat the section heading on continuation pieces. A record that fits the window yields exactly one chunk identical to the historical title\nbody shape, so the corpus's sharpest records are byte-for-byte unaffected.

bvandeusen	2d1e26f38f	feat(telemetry): ambient surfacings count, apart — enter_project and the skill sync emit ... #2477, option (a) as decided, with the readout changed in the same commit. ## The two silent surfaces enter_project returns open tasks + recent notes on every project entry — probably the largest surfacing by volume — and emitted nothing, so the pulls it caused floated unattributed and the surfaced:pulled ratio ran against a denominator missing its biggest contributor. Now source "enter_project". build_process_manifest installs every reachable Process as an auto-surfacing skill on the operator's machine — its own docstring calls it the most consequential passive surface Scribe has — and emitted nothing, so a Process matched on every relevant turn and never opened was indistinguishable from one never installed. Now source "process_skill_sync": the honest event is "installed", which is a surfacing in effect since the description sits in front of the model each session. ## The readout, same commit — the condition option (a) carried Both surfaces are AMBIENT: top-N-by-recency and install-everything are not ranked choices. Pooling them into surfaced_count would make a note's number dominated by "recently updated in a project you opened", and dead-weight detection would read that as popularity — the wrong number read confidently, which is the corrupts-data tier the survey ranked above everything else. So usage_for_notes splits: surfaced_count stays RANKED-ONLY (every existing consumer's reading — "surfaced often, never pulled → dead weight" — keeps meaning what it meant), and ambient_count is new. Classified in SQL via a CASE on AMBIENT_SOURCES so the group count stays three rows per note, not one per distinct source. Pulls stay pooled: "did anyone ever open this?" does not depend on how it was found. #1038 and #2085 read agent pulls and ranked surfacings; both are unaffected by ambient volume, which is the point.

bvandeusen	f11a547cd2	fix(lists): shared-project records appear, and a list's q means what search means ... #2462, both decided halves. ## The ACL defect list_notes filtered on Note.user_id == user_id with no scope parameter at all — never a per-call decision, the capability was absent. query_knowledge beside it was deliberately browse-scoped with a comment saying why. So a task in a shared project was invisible in list_tasks, enter_project's open-task list, the SessionStart todo count and the web UI's task views, while the same project's notes and snippets appeared. Now the shared clause: notes_visibility_clause(user_id, "browse"). Browse and not read, per decision #2094 — an ambient list must never surface a record someone shared one-to-one; those stay search-only. This is the remaining half of a fix made twice before (#2159 widened fetch, #2092 widened meaning), and the guard below is what stops a fourth half appearing. Guarded by source inspection in test_retrieval_scopes: every list-shaped service references a shared visibility clause AND carries no bare Note.user_id comparison that would quietly re-narrow it. An owner-only list returns correct-looking rows and simply omits the shared ones — the shape no behavioural test catches. ## q is semantic (operator: "make it match") The UI's note list keyword-matched while the UI's Browse search semantic-matched, over the same records, with nothing saying so. Now one meaning: q joins the embedding index and orders by cosine distance at the interactive floor, with every lifecycle filter still applied in the same indexed query. Relevance ordering wins over `sort` when q is present — a query is a relevance claim, and sorting its results by date would shuffle the answer. ILIKE survives only as the embedder-down fallback: degraded, never empty. Stated position: superseded records are NOT demoted in list-q. The penalty reorders a top-k; reordering a paginated, counted list would make page boundaries lie. The search surfaces carry the demotion. ## The interactive floor becomes one constant INTERACTIVE_SEARCH_THRESHOLD = 0.3 in embeddings.py, consumed by routes/search.py (was a commented constant), knowledge.py (was a bare literal), and the new list-q. This closes #2463's finding 3 early — the same number lived in two files with the reasoning attached to only one. ## Deferred, deliberately The return-shape unification (ORM objects vs dicts) stays undone. It is a 14-caller refactor whose motivation — callers being unable to swap paths — shrinks now that both paths share the clause and the meaning of q. If swap pressure recurs it deserves its own change, not a rider on an ACL fix. Refs #2462, #2463	2026-08-08 19:58:01 -04:00
bvandeusen	52bf40de4f	test: the empty duplicate report carries suggestion now — assert shape, not the exact dict ...

bvandeusen	d7039dc17c	feat(dedup): the duplicate report reaches notes and tasks, with per-kind cures ... Step 5 of #278, folding in #2534. The operator's no-gate decision for the web UI (#2482 — "an llm attached to this surface is the corrections system") has a precondition nobody had built: the corrector has to be able to SEE what needs correcting. find_duplicate_snippets had no equivalent for notes or tasks, so a duplicate note was only ever noticed by accident. find_duplicate_records(kind="snippet"|"note"|"task") — the same indexed self-join, parameterised. Tasks are notes with a status, not a note_type, so the kind split is a status predicate; mixing them would propose folding a to-do into a write-up. find_duplicate_snippets stays as a wrapper because both surfaces and SnippetListView consume it by name. What differs by kind is the CURE, and the report says so in a `suggestion` field rather than leaving the caller to guess: snippet merge — lossless, the survivor keeps every call site note NEVER merge. A correction pair → supersedes on the newer; state smeared across dated records → extract to the System's reference note; genuinely parallel → leave alone. Choosing needs the records READ, which is the agent's job — so non-snippet groups carry `members` with dates and any `existing_supersessions` already declared inside the group. A pair someone ruled on is not an open question. task usually the same work opened twice — keep the one with the history, cancel the other with a pointer. The snippet sibling filter stays snippet-only: it keys on symbol/code_sha, which other kinds don't carry — and for them a look-alike is a finding. Surfaces: MCP find_duplicate_records (classified into _READ_ONLY_TOOLS — the completeness test would have caught the omission), REST /api/notes/duplicates, and a KnowledgeView panel mirroring SnippetListView's — links only, no merge button, because for notes the report proposes and the correction is a read- and-decide act. The panel follows the type filter and clears when it changes, so a note report can't linger under a task view. Correcting the task's own premise: it claimed the snippet report had "no view consuming it" — stale; SnippetListView has consumed it since it shipped. The UI gap was only ever notes/tasks. Answers the question carried from #2482: yes, the update routes on BOTH surfaces can turn a record into a duplicate — the gate is create-time by design. This report is the mechanism that catches it after the fact, which is the model the operator chose. Refs #278, #2547	2026-08-08 18:51:49 -04:00
bvandeusen	3f1523b19f	feat(systems): read-side teeth — the vocabulary at session start, a search filter, and the state/chronicle instructions ... Step 4 of #278, product half. The audit that motivated it: one System in project 2, thirty records tagged, nothing since July 28 — three days after the feature landed. Not a discipline failure; retrieval was completely blind to the association (zero references in embeddings, knowledge, search, auto-inject, or enter_project), so tagging was a write-side label with no read-side payoff, and labels nobody reads don't get maintained. Three changes, ordered by what makes the others workable: 1. enter_project returns the project's Systems (id, name, first line of the charter). Load-bearing for the tagging instruction: you cannot ask an agent to check a record against a vocabulary it never sees. Trimmed because it rides on every session start; the full charter stays get_system's job. Present-and-empty rather than absent when a project has none — "no named areas yet" is information the create-the-System instruction acts on. 2. search accepts system_id, MCP and REST (#33). Implemented once in semantic_search_notes as an EXISTS against record_systems — an association filter deciding candidate-set membership before scoring, like project_id, not a ranking signal. The REST route's missing project filter stays #2463's: it carries a default-scope UI decision this change must not preempt. 3. The instructions (#119, _INSTRUCTIONS + using-scribe skill; plugin 0.1.25 for the cache): - Tag as you write, with an executable test — "would someone investigating that subsystem want this in the pile list_system_records returns?" — rather than "tag appropriately", which is what died. - Create the System when the area has no record: the two-or-more test snippets use, plus "don't wait to be asked to name an area that plainly exists", because the agent's default was leaving un-modelled areas un-modelled forever. - State vs chronicle: dev-logs are written once and never rewritten; durable findings live in the System's reference note, updated in place — safe because note versions are the changelog, which has existed since the feature shipped and was never named as one. list_system_records' docstring now sells it as the way to READ a subsystem, reference note first. No auto-inject boost by System — vocabulary and filter first, measure before adding ranking behaviour (the #2486 lesson). Refs #278, #2546	2026-08-08 18:19:58 -04:00
bvandeusen	6c4c1bccfc	test: stub the auto-inject supersession lookup where there is no database ... CI on f20c019: nine failures across three files, all on the auto-inject path. Step 3's own tests passed; these are the same shape as the step 2 breakage — a real database call added to a path whose unit tests run without one. Stubbed per file, each saying why, rather than once in conftest. A global stub would hide the dependency from every future test on these paths too, which is the same "make the code lie" trade refused in 984407f, one level up. The auto-inject query is kept separate from the ranker's rather than threaded through, and that is deliberate: `_reserve_slot_for_reuse` runs a SECOND search and can add a hit to the menu, so the final `kept` set is not a subset of what the ranker scored. Labelling whatever actually reached the menu needs its own lookup over that final set — one indexed query on a handful of ids. Refs #278	2026-08-08 02:07:14 -04:00
bvandeusen	f20c019f2a	feat(supersession): demote what a later note overtook, and label it ... Step 3 of #278. First step with visible effect. ## Where the demotion happens, and why not in SQL Applied AFTER the pgvector fetch, over an over-fetched candidate set, not as part of the ORDER BY. Ordering by `distance + penalty` would be exact and would turn an indexed top-k into a scan-and-sort of every embedded note — the HNSW index from migration 0067 can only serve a raw-distance ordering. So the query fetches 3x the requested rows by raw distance and the re-rank happens in Python. Demoting after a LIMIT k with no over-fetch would have been theatre: the cut already happened, so a superseded record pushed down still sits in the results and the live record that should have replaced it was never fetched. The cost is stated in the code: a live record outside the over-fetch window cannot be promoted in. With a 0.05 penalty against neighbours ~0.014 apart, that needs the true answer more than three ranks down, which no observed query approaches. ## Demote, never hide — enforced in three places The penalty applies to the RANKING score, not to the relevance threshold. The floor decides whether a record is relevant at all; the penalty decides which relevant record comes first. Applying it to the floor would drop a superseded record out of the results entirely, which is the one thing this must not do. It is small on purpose. Supersession is a claim about SOME of a record's content, so one that strongly answers a question nothing else answers still surfaces — just behind anything comparable that is current. Its test asserts both bounds, the upper one citing the operator's constraint rather than an optimisation. And every test here that could be satisfied by dropping a record instead asserts the record is still present. ## The dedup gate opts out A superseded record is still a duplicate of what you are about to write — the claim is that it is no longer current, not that it is gone. Demoting it there would let the same note be recorded a second time, and the second copy would be the one nothing warns about. ## The label Auto-inject marks a superseded line SUPERSEDED with a pointer to check the later record. One query for the whole menu. An agent handed stale material with nothing marking it acts on it with full confidence, which is worse than never having surfaced it — the ranking is only half the fix. Fails open: a supersession lookup error returns unpenalised results rather than none, because unpenalised ranking is the behaviour that shipped for months and a broken search is not.

bvandeusen	984407f931	fix(supersession): one query for both directions, not two per note read ... CI failed on 8d9e96c — eight tests in test_mcp_tool_notes.py, all "Connect call failed (127.0.0.1, 5432)". The proximate cause is that `_attach_supersession` runs on every note read/write and those are unit tests of the tool layer with no database. But the test failure exposed a worse decision underneath it. I had written the two directions as two service calls, so every `get_note` made TWO extra round trips plus TWO ACL checks — on the hottest path in the product — to save a two-line partition in Python. That is the wrong trade whether or not a test noticed. `get_relations` replaces both: one OR query, one ACL check, partitioned by which column holds the note's id. Its test asserts `execute.await_count == 1`, so the collapse can't quietly come apart later. The tests then get an autouse stub rather than the code getting a swallow. The tool genuinely has a new dependency; hiding that behind a try/except to keep unit tests green would be arranging for the code to lie about what it does. This file already records the same hazard for note 2109, so the stub sits next to that precedent. Added the test that matters, which the first pass missed: a superseded record still surfaces, so an agent WILL read stale material — and it must arrive with a plain-language warning, not just a numeric field to notice. Also pinned that both keys are ABSENT rather than present-and-empty when there are no relations. Refs #278	2026-08-07 22:45:56 -04:00
bvandeusen	8d9e96cc6d	feat(supersession): declare it — supersedes on both write paths ... Step 2 of #278. Records and reads the claim; the demotion that makes it matter is step 3. `services/supersession.py` with set/get on both directions, following the set_record_systems shape since this is the same kind of mutable M2M at the tool/route layer rather than inside notes_svc. ## Both directions are exposed, and only one is obvious `supersedes` is what the author claimed. `superseded_by` is what a READER needs and what the note itself cannot know — a stale record handed over with no marker gets acted on confidently, which is worse than never surfacing it. So get_note carries it, says so in its docstring, and adds a plain-language line telling the reader to open the newer note first. Both are OMITTED when empty rather than serialised as empty lists. A field that always says nothing trains readers to skip fields — the lesson consolidated_at cost, removed in the previous commit. ## Refuse vs drop, which is the one real judgement here Dropped silently: a target that doesn't exist, is trashed, is the note itself, or would close a cycle. Each is a claim with no subject or no meaning; none is something the caller can act on. REFUSED with PermissionError: a target the caller can read but not write. That is the single case where the caller could believe they succeeded and be wrong in a way that matters — demoting someone else's record out of their retrieval is damage invisible from the outside, with no symptom for the owner to trace. Rule #47, and PermissionError because services/snippets.py already uses it for read-but-not-write with both surfaces catching it. The PATCH/PUT routes scope by the CALLER, not owner_uid: an editor-share holder may edit the note and must not thereby inherit the owner's write access to whatever they name as superseded. ## Cycles A ring claims every member is obsolete. Under flat demotion that demotes them all equally, so the set drops out of ranked retrieval together with nothing in the data saying why. Refused by walking the existing graph from the proposed target — iteratively with a visited set, because the graph is user-supplied and a deep chain must not become a stack overflow on a write path. The visited set also makes the walk terminate on a ring that already exists, which is pinned by its own test rather than trusted. Both surfaces (#33), the instruction surface per #119 — framed as the third answer beside update-instead and force=true: not everything resembling an existing record should be folded into it, and not everything distinct should compete with it forever.

bvandeusen	5dcb738ce8	fix(backup): carry note_supersessions — the coverage guard caught the omission ... CI failed on 45c6b1c. `tests/test_services_backup.py` asserts every table is either in `_BACKED_UP` or explicitly in `_NOT_INCLUDED`, and the new table was in neither. That guard exists for exactly this: a new table gets a model and a migration — both of which fail loudly if wrong — and then silently never gets a backup section. No error, no warning, and a restore that reports success. Its comment says it was written to "stop the seventh" table slipping through. This was the seventh. Supersession claims are backed up rather than excluded because they are a JUDGEMENT. Someone decided this note replaced that one, and nothing in either note's text records the decision. Lose them and a restored corpus silently returns to ranking stale material alongside current material — with no symptom that says why. Scoping differs by backup kind, deliberately. A whole-instance export takes every row. A single-user export takes only claims where BOTH ends are that user's notes: a claim spanning out to someone else's record cannot be restored into a single-user import, since the far id is not in the map, so exporting it would write a row that silently vanishes on the way back in. Restore maps both ids and skips the row unless both resolve. A claim is about a PAIR — half of one is not a weaker claim, it is a dangling row pointing at whatever note holds that id next. Guarded by `data.get` like every post-v2 section, so v5 and older payloads restore cleanly without it. BACKUP_VERSION 5 -> 6, and the version test moved with it. A payload section added without moving the version produces backups that are structurally different and indistinguishable by inspection. Refs #278	2026-08-07 21:49:08 -04:00
bvandeusen	bbba0b3ae3	refactor(embeddings): one definition of the document a record is embedded as ... `f"{title}\n{body}"` was written out four times. #2486 found three — the write path, the recurring-task spawn, the startup backfill. The guard added here found the fourth immediately, and it was the one that mattered most. `dedup.find_duplicate_note` built the same string as a QUERY, compared against embedded documents. Shaped differently from the corpus it searches, the gate degrades silently: it still returns neighbours, just less apt ones, and nothing says the query and the index stopped agreeing. The spawn path has the same shape of risk — a recurring task embedded differently from everything else is ranked against documents it doesn't match. None of the four had diverged. That is what makes this worth doing now rather than after: they are identical today, so collapsing them is a no-op, and the whole point is that the next change to the shape can't hit three of four. Which is imminent. #2486 measured a dev-log separating from five unrelated dev-logs by 0.023 where a snippet separates by 0.153 — the difference being that a snippet states its purpose twice in a short document. Whether that shape is right is the open question; testing an alternative against four copies would mean testing a shape that isn't the one in production. This is the precondition the issue named. The guard is source inspection, matching the f-string pattern rather than a variable name, so a copy that renames its locals is still caught. A behavioural test cannot see this: an inlined copy produces the same string today and diverges the day the shape changes. Refs #2486	2026-08-07 13:01:45 -04:00
