Root cause of the 2026-04-29 dentist-appointment incident: the model
called update_event(query="Appointment") when two events had
"Appointment" in their titles. find_events_by_query returned both,
upcoming-first ordered by start_dt — matches[0] was id=2 (a stale
pre-existing event with garbage end_dt), not id=15 (the one the user
just created via the journal flow). update_event_tool silently took
matches[0] and mutated the wrong event.
Fix: a new resolver helper `_resolve_event_for_action` funnels both
update_event_tool and delete_event_tool through one disambiguation
path. Lookup precedence:
- `event_id` → exact get_event lookup, no query at all
- `query` matching exactly one event → proceed
- `query` matching zero → return success=False, "no event found"
- `query` matching 2+ events → return success=False with a
`candidates` array of {id, title, start_dt, location} so the
model can pick one and call again with `event_id`
The candidates list is capped at 8 to keep the model's context tight.
The error message names the count and the next-step ("pass event_id
or refine the query") so the model can self-correct in one turn.
For delete_event, the disambiguation is even more important — the
silent-matches[0] path would have deleted the wrong event outright
rather than just mutating it. The tool description leans into that:
"Deleting the wrong event is a costly user error; never guess."
Tool surface change: `query` and `event_id` are now both optional;
the tool errors clearly when neither is supplied. The model already
knows id values from prior tool results (returned in `data.id`),
which is the natural feeder for the disambiguation flow.
5 new tests in test_calendar_tool_tz.py cover:
- ambiguous query → success=False with candidate list, no mutation
- event_id supplied → bypasses query lookup entirely
- non-existent event_id → clear "no event found" error
- neither identifier → "query or event_id required" error
- same disambiguation enforced for delete_event_tool
46 calendar/events tests pass; ruff clean.
Closes Fable #161.

Structural fix for the "end before start" bug class observed on prod
2026-04-29. Bad data became inexpressible at the schema level instead
of getting trapped in defensive read-path filters.
The hotfix that landed earlier today (94b169f) is reverted by the
preceding revert commit; this commit supersedes it cleanly with a
proper data-model change.
## Schema (migration 0043)
- Add `duration_minutes INTEGER NULLABLE` column on `events`.
- CHECK constraint: ``duration_minutes IS NULL OR duration_minutes >= 0``.
- Backfill from existing `end_dt`:
- end_dt valid (end > start) → duration_minutes = total minutes
- end_dt == start → duration_minutes = 0 (zero-duration point)
- end_dt NULL or end_dt < start → duration_minutes = NULL
(the corrupt prod row collapses cleanly to a point event)
- Drop the `end_dt` column. The wire format is preserved — `to_dict()`
emits `end_dt` as a derived `start_dt + duration_minutes`. Existing
API consumers (Flutter app, web frontend, CalDAV sync) keep
receiving the same response shape; they just no longer have a way
to PUT a stored `end_dt` that disagrees with `start_dt`.
## Service layer
- `Event.end_dt` becomes a `@property`. Setting it would require a
setter we deliberately don't define — writes always go through
`duration_minutes`.
- `_normalize_duration` is the single source-of-truth for input
reduction. Accepts (start, end_dt, duration_minutes), returns the
canonical `duration_minutes`, raises `ValueError` for negative
durations, end-before-start, or end/duration disagreement.
- `create_event` and `update_event` accept either `end_dt` or
`duration_minutes` for ergonomic compat; both convert via
`_normalize_duration`. Update validates the post-update state when
the patch includes either.
- `list_events` filter is simpler now: a coarse SQL prefilter
(`start_dt <= date_to`) plus Python-side refinement using the
derived `end_dt`. Avoids Postgres-specific interval arithmetic in
the WHERE clause; refinement runs over a per-user result set so
there's no scan-cost concern at personal scale.
- Recurring-event expansion uses `event.duration_minutes` directly
instead of computing `end - start`. No more negative-timedelta
hazard.
## CalDAV sync (incoming + outgoing)
- `caldav_sync.py` (pull) and `calendar_sync.py` (Radicale upsert)
both convert iCal `DTEND` → `duration_minutes` on the way in.
Outbound iCal still emits `DTEND` as `start_dt + duration_minutes`
via the model's derived property. iCal interop is unchanged.
## Behavioral upgrade for `update_event`
Pure end_dt model: moving start past the existing end_dt would either
silently corrupt or hard-reject. Duration model: the duration is
preserved by default, so moving start slides the effective end
forward — which is what users mean when they "move" an event.
Explicit clear is still possible via `end_dt=None`.
## Tests
`tests/test_events_service.py`:
- 6 new `_normalize_duration` unit tests (sugar conversion, zero
duration valid as point event, end-before-start rejected, negative
duration rejected, inconsistent end+duration rejected, none → None)
- New behavioral test: `update_event` preserves duration when only
start_dt changes (sliding semantics)
- New: clearing `end_dt=None` on update collapses to point event
- New: list_events surfaces a point event in the upcoming window
- New: list_events excludes a timed event whose effective end has
already passed
- Existing mock-event helper updated to use `duration_minutes`
instead of stored `end_dt`.
44 event-related tests pass; ruff clean.
## Out of scope (separate task)
Fable #161 — `find_events_by_query` returning multiple matches and
silently picking matches[0]. The exact root cause of how event id=2
got mutated in the first place; orthogonal to the storage model.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A prod event surfaced today with `start_dt=2026-05-01T12:00Z` and
`end_dt=2026-03-30T12:00Z` — end was 32 days BEFORE start, almost
certainly from an earlier tool-call mishap (Fable #161). The
list_events filter trusted the bogus end_dt and excluded the event
from every read path that hit the upcoming window, even though
start_dt was correctly in range. The event stayed visible in the
calendar grid (different range) but vanished from "Upcoming",
search, briefings, and journal prep events list.
This is the hotfix half of the response. The structural follow-up is
Fable #160 — replace end_dt with a duration column so invalid state
becomes inexpressible.
## A. Filter robustness in list_events
Treat `end_dt <= start_dt` as if no end_dt exists. The filter now
splits into two branches:
- valid duration: end_dt IS NOT NULL AND end_dt > start_dt AND
end_dt >= date_from
- no/invalid duration: (end_dt IS NULL OR end_dt <= start_dt) AND
start_dt >= date_from
Same change applied to the recurring-event expansion's `duration`
calculation, which was producing negative timedeltas for corrupted
rows and computing nonsensical occurrence end times.
## B. Write-side validation in create/update
`create_event` and `update_event` now raise ValueError when the
resulting state would have end_dt <= start_dt. Update validates
against the *post-update* state, not just the field being changed —
so pushing start_dt past an existing end_dt also fails loudly. Bad
data shouldn't be persistable from any write path.
Surfaced cleanly:
- Calendar tool wrappers (create_event_tool / update_event_tool)
catch ValueError and return `{success: false, error: ...}`, which
the model can read and self-correct.
- Route handlers (POST /api/events, PATCH /api/events/<id>) catch
and return HTTP 400 with the validator's message instead of
letting it bubble to a 500.
4 new tests in test_events_service.py:
- create rejects end before start
- create rejects equal start/end (zero duration)
- update validates the post-update state (start pushed past existing end)
- list_events surfaces an event whose end_dt is before its start_dt
34 event-related tests pass; ruff clean.

User feedback: the right-edge slide-over panel pinned its action buttons
to a thin floor band where the destructive ghost-style Delete button was
functionally invisible against the dark surface. Save / Cancel / Delete
all sat in the same floor strip, isolated from the form content.
This refactor changes the surface and the commit model.
## Centered modal, not slide-over
Backdrop dim covers the whole viewport; the panel sits centered with a
12px corner radius and a soft shadow. The form scrolls internally when
content overflows the viewport (max-height: calc(100vh - 2.5rem)).
File kept as `EventSlideOver.vue` to avoid touching the three consumers
(CalendarView, HomeView, ToolCallCard).
## Action buttons removed; close = save
- Save button: gone. Auto-save fires when the user closes via X, Esc,
backdrop click, or pressing Enter inside a text field.
- Cancel button: gone. Esc / X / backdrop click already cover dismiss;
a labeled "Cancel" was redundant.
- Delete button: moved to the header as a Trash2 icon (edit mode only).
Click → header swaps to inline confirm "Delete this event? [Yes,
delete] [No]" — same two-step flow, just relocated. Esc during the
confirm cancels back to edit mode rather than closing the modal,
giving the user a clear way out of the destructive prompt.
## Validity-aware close
All exit paths funnel through `attemptClose`:
- Form valid → save (POST or PATCH), then close.
- Form invalid in EDIT mode → discard the in-memory change and
close, with a toast naming the missing field
("Title required — change discarded"). Keeps the user from
silently corrupting an event.
- Form invalid in CREATE mode → close silently. Nothing was
committed; calling that out adds noise.
Emit signature unchanged (close / created / updated / deleted), so the
three consumers continue to work without edits.

Reproducer (2026-04-29 dentist appointment): user said "this Friday,
I have an appointment" with no other details. The model immediately
called create_event with title="Appointment", description="User
mentioned an appointment this Friday but hasn't provided details
yet.", all_day=true. THEN it asked the user for time/location in
its reply. When the user came back with "8am at my dentist for
permanent crown fitting", the model called update_event — but never
updated the title, leaving the placeholder "Appointment" in the
calendar permanently.
The bug isn't about the tool surface, it's that the model created
an event before it had real content. The system prompt had no rule
against this, so the model hedged: "log a placeholder, ask for
details, then update". That pattern pollutes the calendar with
garbage titles and forces immediate update_event calls.
create_event tool description now includes an explicit anti-pattern:
record a moment, ask for the missing pieces, and only call create_event
once you have actual title + time + location. Stand-in titles like
"Appointment" / "Meeting" / "Event" with "details TBD" descriptions
are explicitly named as the failure mode.
Pure prompt change. 18 tests pass; ruff clean.

Two filtering issues that made the daily prep noisy and trained the
user to ignore it.
## Tasks: bucket into due-today / upcoming / overdue
The prep was calling `list_notes(due_before=day_date)` and labeling the
result as "tasks due today". That filter is strictly less-than, so it
returned only OVERDUE tasks (a single 68-day-stale task in this user's
case), while the prompt still framed them as fresh today's work. Each
day of the prep treated the same overdue task as new — the user
learned to ignore the line entirely.
`gather_daily_sections` now runs three queries:
- `tasks_due_today` — `due_after=day_date AND due_before=day_date+1`
- `tasks_upcoming` — next 7 days, exclusive of today
- `tasks_overdue` — strictly before today
Overdue entries carry a `days_overdue` count. `_render_sections_for_prompt`
emits three labeled headers ("TASKS DUE TODAY", "UPCOMING TASKS",
"OVERDUE TASKS (still on the list, not currently due)"). The system
prompt has a new TASK BUCKETS rule telling the model: don't call
overdue items "due today"; surface them with their staleness duration
("still on the list 68 days") and frame as a backlog reminder rather
than today's work.
Backwards-compat: `sections["tasks"]` still exists, now as the union
of all three buckets — strictly more useful than the prior overdue-
only behavior any frontend consumer was getting before.
## Events: tz-aware window + proximity filter
The user's "Birthday — 2026-09-29 (FREQ=YEARLY)" event was surfacing
in every daily prep, 5 months out. Root cause: `gather_daily_sections`
built `day_start`/`day_end` as NAIVE datetimes; `list_events` then
called `rrulestr(...).between(naive_from, naive_to)` against an
aware `dtstart`, which throws TypeError, hits the `except Exception`
fallback, and appends the canonical event row — regardless of whether
today is anywhere near a recurrence.
Fix:
1. Construct the day window as TZ-aware in the user's local timezone
and convert to UTC before the query. RRULE expansion now runs
correctly.
2. Defense-in-depth `_filter_proximate_events` drops events whose
start_dt is more than 7 days from `day_date` (in the user's local
TZ — not UTC, so a Friday 23:00 NY event isn't misclassified as
Saturday). If list_events ever leaks a far-future row again, the
prep doesn't surface it.
10 new tests in `tests/test_journal_prep_filtering.py` cover task
bucketing (overdue marker, due-today no-marker, no-due-date), the
proximity filter (the 4/29 reproducer, in-window keeps, local-vs-UTC
boundary, unparseable dates kept rather than suppressed), and the
rendering (overdue staleness shown, due-today doesn't repeat the date,
correct section ordering).
53 tests pass across journal_prep + journal_search + record_moment +
calendar_tool + events. Ruff clean.
Closes Fable task #159.

Belt-and-suspenders to the prompt-layer changes in 6c309f1. Even when
the model emits bogus task or place links, the server now refuses to
persist them.
## Task auto-linking guard
Reproducer (2026-04-27): a moment about restaging Docker on the swarm
ended up with `task_ids: [2]` (Weston's ADHD Evaluation) — the only
task in that day's prep. The model picked it up as filler.
`_filter_task_ids_by_keyword_overlap` now runs after id resolution: it
fetches each linked task's title, tokenizes both content and title
through `_content_keywords` (lowercased, stopwords stripped, <3-char
tokens dropped), and drops any link whose title shares no meaningful
keyword with the moment content. The drop is logged at INFO so we can
observe how often it fires post-deploy.
The guard runs against the merged id list, so it covers both the
preferred `task_titles` resolution path and the discouraged explicit
`task_ids` path.
## Place placeholder guard
Reproducer (2026-04-27): `place_names=["work"]` got passed to
`record_moment`. "work" / "home" / "office" aren't places — they're
role-labels for already-known geocoded locations.
`_filter_placeholder_places` drops a small set of generic single-word
labels before name resolution. Real user-named places that happen to
be one word (e.g. "Akron") pass through.
## Tests
9 new unit tests in `tests/test_record_moment_guards.py` cover:
- keyword tokenization & stopword stripping
- placeholder place filtering (generic, case-insensitive, real-place
pass-through)
- keyword-overlap filtering (the exact 4/27 reproducer, the genuine-
reference case, mixed/partial relevance, empty input)
13 tests pass; ruff clean.
Closes Fable task #158.

Three related rough edges in the journal voice surfaced from real
journal usage 2026-04-27 → 2026-04-29:
1. **Persona overhelps.** When the user logged "today I'm prepping for
an ISP migration at Branch 14 Bedford for work at famous supply",
the assistant came back with "ISP migrations can be tricky. Are you
handling the network configuration yourself, or is there a team
supporting you? Also, are there any specific tasks or checks you
need to complete before the switch?" — pushing IT-helpdesk advice
the user didn't ask for. The user had to push back. JOURNAL_PERSONA
now leads with "CAPTURE first, advise only if asked" and the
RESPONSE STYLE block has an explicit anti-pattern banning
troubleshooting / checklist / process-advice follow-ups unless the
user explicitly invites them.
2. **Moments stored in third-person observer voice.** The dentist
appointment beat got written as "The user mentioned having an
appointment this Friday but hasn't provided details yet." — reads
like an LLM transcript annotation, not a journal jot. The
record_moment tool's `content` description previously said "in the
user's voice or third-person", which was the literal source of the
bug. New phrasing requires first-person/imperative with concrete
GOOD/BAD examples, and the JOURNAL_CALIBRATION block reinforces it.
3. **Inconsistent emoji use.** 4/27 was clinical, 4/29 had 😊 and 🛠️
in the appointment confirmation. RESPONSE STYLE now bans emojis
outright — the journal is a thinking-companion surface and the
emoji warmth reads as out-of-register chat-bot tone.
Bonus while in here:
- New MOMENT ENTITY LINKING section explicitly forbids attaching a
task_titles link unless the user references the task by name (the
4/27 Docker→ADHD auto-link bug; rest of that fix is in #158).
- Same section rejects generic place placeholders ("work" / "home" /
"office") in favor of letting the user name the real place.
22 tests pass (4 journal + 18 calendar tool); ruff clean.
Closes Fable task #157.

A user asked Fable to schedule "this Friday at 8am" on Wednesday 4/29
2026. The model picked 4/30 (Thursday) and confidently labeled it
"Friday." The TZ pipeline did everything correctly given the model's
date — the bug was upstream: the model was guessing weekdays from ISO
dates without an anchor, and the calendar tools had no way to verify.
Three layered fixes:
1. **System prompts now name the weekday alongside the ISO date.**
Both the journal-conversation prompt and the general chat prompt
used to say "Today is 2026-04-29 (America/New_York)." They now say
"Today is Wednesday, 2026-04-29 (...)." LLMs are unreliable at
deriving weekday names from ISO dates; supplying the name removes
the guess.
2. **`expected_weekday` parameter on create_event / update_event.**
When the model passes `expected_weekday="friday"`, the backend
computes the resolved start_date's weekday in the user's local
timezone and rejects mismatches with a self-correcting error
("Date 2026-04-30 falls on Thursday, not Friday. Recompute..."),
without creating the event. The check is local-aware: a Friday
23:00 event in Tokyo crosses midnight UTC but the local view
stays Friday, and the validator respects that.
3. **Tool descriptions instruct echo-and-confirm.** create_event and
update_event descriptions now tell the model: when the user names
a weekday, state the resolved date in the reply BEFORE calling
the tool, and pass `expected_weekday`. Costs nothing in code,
reinforces the validator.
6 new tests — match success, mismatch rejection (with create/update
not invoked), omitted-param backcompat, invalid weekday name, local-
not-UTC weekday computation, and the update_event variant. All 18
calendar-tool tests + 33 event-related tests pass; ruff clean.

A user reported "next Friday at 8am" landing on the wrong day. The
current `start` parameter accepts a combined ISO datetime string — when
the model emits something like `"2026-05-01T00:00:00Z"`, the parser
correctly honors the UTC tag and stores `2026-05-01 00:00 UTC`, which
displays as `2026-04-30 19:00` for a UTC-5 user. The bug isn't in our
parser; it's that we let the model TZ-tag the calendar day at all.
The fix moves the foot-gun: `create_event` and `update_event` now
prefer split fields (`start_date` + `start_time`, plus end variants).
A `YYYY-MM-DD` string carries no TZ metadata for a model to mis-tag,
and the backend builds the local datetime explicitly via
`datetime.combine(date, time, tzinfo=user_tz).astimezone(UTC)`. Strict
regex validation rejects anything with a TZ suffix on either field.
The legacy combined `start` / `end` fields are kept as a fallback so
saved tool-call payloads in conversation history still replay; new
calls are steered toward the split shape via the tool description.
7 new regression tests cover Eastern, Pacific, Tokyo (positive offset),
all-day inference, strict-shape rejection on both fields, backcompat
with the legacy `start` field, and the same fix for `update_event`.
27 of the event-related tests pass; ruff clean.

The MCP server's briefing introspection tools were replaced with journal
equivalents in c549827, but the package version stayed at 0.2.6 — so
pipx upgrades against existing installs were no-ops and production MCP
clients still served the obsolete briefing tools (which 404 against the
migrated backend).
Bumping minor since this is a breaking tool-surface change (briefing
tools removed). Reinstall via `pipx install --force` to pick up.

CI typecheck failed: JournalLocation interface requires `address: string`,
but Profile-tab Locations code created defaults like `{ label: 'Home' }`
without it. Symptoms were six TS2741 errors in SettingsView.vue.
Fix: include `address` in defaults and treat the user's place-name input
as the address field. Now homeQuery / workQuery sync to
locations.{home|work}.address — both at load time and on geocode.
loadJournalConfig now reads address (was reading label, which is fixed
to "Home"/"Work"); geocodeFor writes the typed query into address while
also setting lat/lon on success.
Calendar Month/Year title was actually rendering Fraunces, not Inter as
I'd claimed. FullCalendar renders .fc-toolbar-title as an <h2>, which
the global theme.css `h1, h2 { font-family: 'Fraunces' }` rule catches
before the parent .fc font-family inherit can do anything. At 1.1rem
it's below the doc's "Fraunces only at ≥18px" threshold, so explicit
Inter override on the deep selector.

Per the design rule "italic is for emphasis, not for design", removed
every chrome `font-style: italic` declaration across the frontend.
42 declarations gone across 24 files: empty-state placeholder copy,
loading messages, "no results" hints, ghost text, voice/role labels,
field placeholder text, brand wordmark, et al.
Markdown content emphasis is unaffected — `<em>` and `<i>` tags from
`*emphasis*` markup still render italic via browser default styling
(prose.css doesn't override em behavior). User-typed emphasis in
notes, journal entries, and chat messages keeps its italic.
Specific spots that lost the decorative italic:
- KnowledgeView .filter-label, .empty-narrator
- NoteEditorView .ef-label, link-suggest related
- ChatPanel .empty-msg, .empty-greeting, .role-label
- ChatMessage .role-assistant .role-label (the "Fable" voice tag —
was italic per the doc's Illuminated Transcript spec, but per the
new typography rule the speaker tag stays regular and lets the
border-left + glow do the bubble framing on their own)
- AppHeader .brand-text ("Fabled" wordmark)
- editor-shared.css .title-input::placeholder
- ProjectView .project-title-input::placeholder
- HomeView .urgency-loading
- WorkspaceTaskPanel .empty-group
- WeatherCard .weather-unavailable
- SharedWithMeView .empty-msg
- DiffView empty-state spans
- ToolCallCard .tool-event-more
- SettingsView 7 spots (.you-label, .geo-pending, hint text, etc.)
- + several other empty-state / hint text spots

KnowledgeView's "Type" / "Tags" filter section headers (.filter-label)
and NoteEditorView's entity-field labels (.ef-label — Email, Phone,
Address etc on person/place notes) were using italic Fraunces accent
at 0.72rem / 0.78rem. The italic + small + decorative-serif combo
read as illegible flourish rather than functional section headers.
Bumped:
- .filter-label 0.72rem → 0.95rem, margin-bottom 6px → 8px
- .ef-label 0.78rem → 0.92rem
Italic Fraunces accent preserved (keeps the branded character that
matches the rest of the surface). Just enlarged to a readable size.
ChatMessage's .role-assistant .role-label kept at 0.8rem italic
Fraunces — that's the doc's Illuminated Transcript voice label, a
decorative speaker tag rather than a functional heading.

services/projects.py:get_project_summary built task_counts dynamically
from a GROUP BY query, so a project with no done tasks would omit the
'done' key entirely. Frontend's TypeScript interface declares all three
lifecycle keys as required, and ProjectView.vue summed them to render
the Tasks tab counter — undefined + N = NaN.
Two fixes:
1. Backend: initialise task_counts with {todo: 0, in_progress: 0,
done: 0} so the service returns the contract its consumers expect.
Catches the same problem for HomeView's project widget and any
other consumer.
2. Frontend: defensive ?? 0 on the tab-counter sum, so the existing
deploy renders correctly even before the backend rolls.

The Briefing Settings section was removed during the briefing→journal
migration but its data (locations, temp unit, prep schedule) is still
read by the journal backend. There was no UI to set any of it, so
weather couldn't render and prep timing wasn't tunable.
Re-adds the missing config inside the existing Profile tab — it's all
"about the user" data and a separate Journal tab would just clutter
the sidebar. New sections:
Locations (after Work Schedule)
- Home and Work place-name inputs with on-blur geocoding via
/api/journal/weather/geocode
- Temperature unit toggle (Celsius / Fahrenheit)
- Status messages distinguish ok / pending / error
Journal (before What the Assistant Has Learned)
- Daily prep auto-generate toggle
- Prep generation hour:minute (24-hour input)
- Day rollover hour (so 1–3am entries still count as the previous day)
- All controls disable cleanly when prep is off
Cleanup
- Profile "About You" desc: "chat and briefings" → "chat and the daily journal"
- Profile "Interests" desc: "personalise news and briefing context" →
"personalise the journal's daily prep and chat responses"
- Profile "Work Schedule" desc: "Helps the briefing" → "Helps the journal"
- Profile "What the Assistant Has Learned" desc: clarifies the summary
is included in the journal's system prompt; observations come from
journal + chat (not briefing)
- General "Timezone" desc: "schedule briefings" → "schedule the daily
journal prep"
- Removed the dead `.briefing-*` CSS block (~190 lines of styles for
retired briefing UI: feed-row, slot-row, add-feed-form, etc.) and
replaced with fresh `.location-row`, `.unit-toggle`, `.unit-btn`,
`.checkbox-label`, `.time-row`, `.time-input`, `.geo-msg` rules used
by the new sections. unit-btn.active uses Moss action-primary per
Hybrid; tokens flow through the rest.
The "What the Assistant Has Learned" section was confirmed
load-bearing for the journal — `journal_pipeline.py:139` calls
`build_profile_context()` which feeds learned_summary plus other
profile fields into the journal's system prompt. Not a remnant.

The "ready" / "cold" / "unavailable" dots in the AppHeader status
indicator were pulling --color-success / --color-warning /
--color-danger which after the foundation pass became Moss /
Warning gold-brown / Error terracotta — all visibly muted. The
green-ready dot in particular read too dark to register as a
"ready light", and the pulse glow (bright emerald) had nothing to
glow off of.
Status dots are indicator *lights*, not semantic-palette UI
elements. Decouple them with hardcoded vital values:
- ready: #4ade80 (matches the existing pulse glow)
- cold: #facc15
- red: #ef4444
Orange already used a hardcoded bright #f97316; left as-is.
The rest of the system continues to use --color-success /
--color-warning / --color-danger semantically (toast-success,
validation errors, etc.) — only the indicator-light contexts get
the brighter palette.

Updates the Scribe-specific decisions section header and replaces
the Surface-Phase TODO checklist with a per-PR ship table covering
the seven PRs that landed today (93a3beb → 3c1ec40). Adds an
explicit "Out of scope — deferred indefinitely" subsection so
future-me knows what's intentionally not done (stroke-weight
overrides, filled-as-active state, type-scale tokens, etc.).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per the surface-phase spec for the Notes/Tasks viewers and editors:
Long-form line-height
- prose.css: bumped global .prose from 1.6 to 1.7. Applies to Note
viewer body, Task viewer body, anywhere markdown renders into a
reading surface. Chat assistant bubble already had the explicit
override; now consistent with the rest.
Button reclassification per Hybrid rule
- Shared editor-shared.css:
- btn-save: accent gradient → Moss (action-primary). Saving is
"operating the software", not a brand moment.
- btn-delete: --color-danger (Error terracotta) → Oxblood
(action-destructive). Layout updated for inline-flex so the
Trash2 icon at call sites lines up alongside the label.
- NoteEditorView, TaskEditorView: Delete buttons now contain a
Trash2 icon per Hybrid's "destructive paired with icon" rule.
- NoteViewerView, TaskViewerView:
- btn-edit (and TaskViewer's btn-advance): accent gradient → Moss.
Switching to edit / advancing status are workflow actions.
- btn-convert, btn-share: ghost-on-hover-to-accent → Bronze
action-secondary (alternate paths).
Two-weights-only
- Snapped every font-weight: 600/700 to 500 across editor-shared.css
and the five Knowledge-cluster views.
Out of scope for this PR (deliberate punt)
- Smaller utility buttons (.btn-suggest-tags, .btn-link-all,
.btn-add-subtask, the AI-assist generate/proofread/accept/reject
set, etc.) — currently ghost-styled, generally compliant. Will
revisit only if they read off in practice.
- Filter chip / sub-task list-row border audit — deferred since
current styles already lean on background tint for affordance.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per the surface-phase spec for the Chat cluster (ChatView, ChatPanel,
ChatMessage, ChatInputBar, ToolCallCard):
Long-form line-height
- ChatMessage: assistant-bubble .message-content jumps from 1.55 to
1.7 — chat is a reading surface, not a snippet stream. User
bubbles stay tighter.
- JournalView: dropped its :deep(.role-assistant .message-content)
override; ChatMessage handles it now and Journal inherits.
ToolCallCard borders
- Removed the outer 1px border. ToolCallCard always renders inside
an assistant bubble; the bubble already contains it. Background
tint differentiates without re-bordering. Per the
structural-not-decorative rule.
- Error state preserved as a 3px left-edge accent in --color-danger,
mirroring the assistant bubble's own left-edge pattern.
Button reclassification per Hybrid rule
- ChatView .bulk-link "All"/"None": accent text → --color-text-secondary
(these are tertiary list-control affordances, not brand moments)
- ChatView .bulk-delete-btn: --color-danger (Error terracotta) →
--color-action-destructive (Oxblood) per Hybrid; paired with a
Trash2 icon since destructive should always be reinforced by an
icon, not just color
- ChatView .btn-delete-conv hover: same Error → Oxblood swap
- .btn-new-conv stays accent (brand moment, correct already)
- .btn-send stays accent gradient (primary brand moment, foundation)
Two-weights-only
- Snapped every font-weight: 600/700 to 500 across ChatView,
ChatPanel, ChatMessage, ToolCallCard per the doc rule.

The right rail's loadEvents was using "now → now + 14 days", which
filtered out events earlier today that had already passed. The prep
uses "today 00:00 → today 23:59" so it includes those events and
explicitly notes they're "in the past". The two surfaces talked
about different sets of events.
Widen the right rail to "today 00:00 → today + 14 days 23:59" so
events from earlier today still surface and group under "Today". The
prep and the right rail now reference the same set within today.
Events further out (next 14 days) keep working as before.

The /api/journal/weather route was filtering out cache rows older than 24
hours via parse_weather_card_data, while journal_prep.py read the same
rows raw without freshness checking. Result: the daily prep referenced
"home" and "work" temperatures while the right-rail UI showed nothing —
two surfaces, same backing data, inconsistent visibility.
Two changes:
1. parse_weather_card_data no longer returns None for stale data.
WeatherCard already exposes fetched_at and gracefully hides
today_high / forecast fields when they're absent, so old data renders
with whatever fields the cached forecast still covers.
2. The /weather route opportunistically schedules a background refresh
for any cache row older than 4 hours. If the user's journal_config
has lat/lon for that location_key, the refresh runs and the next
page load gets fresh data; if no usable config, the refresh is a
silent no-op and the stale cache is still served.
This makes prep and UI consistent. It also self-heals over time — once
locations are configured, stale caches get refreshed on the next page
load instead of waiting indefinitely.

Per the surface-phase spec for Journal:
- Weather refresh button: ↻ unicode → Lucide RotateCcw (PR 1
carry-over for emoji-as-icon)
- .journal-title: dropped redundant font-family override (h1 inherits
Fraunces from theme.css); also snapped weight 700 → 500 per doc's
"two weights only" rule
- .weather-tab.active, .events-day-label, .event-title, .panel-label:
snapped 600/700 → 500 per same rule
- Added long-form 1.7 line-height to journal-chat-panel assistant
bubble content (the daily prep is prose, not chat snippets)
- Removed dead .news-section / .news-card / .news-* / .reaction-btn
CSS — news functionality was retired with the briefing→journal
migration (PR #43); styles were never cleaned up
Buttons audited per Hybrid rule: btn-trigger ("Refresh prep") and
weather-refresh-btn are tertiary actions, already correctly styled
as Pewter ghost. .btn-send (Journal Send) flows through ChatInputBar
on the accent gradient — brand moment, kept as-is.
Borders audited per structural-not-decorative: header bottom,
sidebar left, section dividers, form input borders all kept (all
genuinely structural). No decorative borders to remove.

.task-main is a flex column. Children default to flex-shrink: 1, so
when body content is taller than the available column height, flex
squeezes .preview-pane back to its min-height (200px) and the
overflow renders visibly on top of subsequent siblings — making the
TaskLogSection appear in the middle of the body content.
Surfaced by viewing a task with an unusually long markdown body in
preview mode. Pre-existed PR 1, just rarely hit.
NoteEditorView uses the standard block-flow .editor-main and isn't
affected.

CI's npm ci step requires lock and package.json to be in sync.

Replaces every hand-inlined SVG in the chrome (60 across 15 files)
with Lucide components. Snaps icon sizes to the doc's 16/24 scale —
all icons in this pass land at 16. AppLogo wordmark stays as the
legitimate "custom app icon" exception per the doc; GraphView's <svg>
mount point for D3 stays as well.
Replaces emoji-as-icons in clear button-affordance cases with their
Lucide equivalents: ✕ → X (close/dismiss buttons across 8 files), ✓ →
Check (ProjectView task-advance button), 🎤 → Mic (ChatPanel voice
CTA), 📎 → Paperclip (ChatView context toggle), ↑ → ArrowUp
(ChatInputBar Send), × → X (ChatPanel context-note remove), ☀/☾
→ Sun/Moon (AppHeader theme toggle).
Inline emoji punctuation in textual confirmation copy ("Saved ✓",
"Created ✓", `done: "✓"` status maps, `'✓' : '📄'` interpolations)
is left for surface-phase voice/tone touchups — replacing requires
structural template changes and is best done per-component.
Stroke weight stays at Lucide's default 2px; tightening to the doc's
1.5/1 is deferred per the surface-phase spec (option ii: drop-in +
scale enforcement).
Adds lucide-vue-next ^0.469.0 to frontend/package.json. Docker
rebuild handles the install.

Updates the "Scribe-specific decisions in progress" header to reflect
that the foundation pass landed in 7a9a8b7. Replaces the brief "next
phase" placeholder with a concrete shipped/remaining split — listing
what foundation covered and the surface-phase work that still needs
doing (button reclassification, Lucide migration, border audit,
voice/tone, long-form line-height, bubble shape tweaks).

Applies the FabledSword + Scribe iteration palette to theme.css end to
end: indigo (#7c3aed) → dusty violet (#5B4A8A) accent, cool grey →
Obsidian/Iron/Pewter dark surfaces, warm parchment (#F5F1E8) light
mode, Inter body + JetBrains Mono code loaded alongside Fraunces, and
neutral hairline scrollbars (chrome is structural, not branded).
Adds the action token set (--color-action-primary Moss,
--color-action-secondary Bronze, --color-action-destructive Oxblood,
--color-action-ghost-border Pewter) but does not yet reclassify any
buttons — surface-phase work. Buttons remain dusty-violet gradients in
the meantime, by design.
Removes deprecated --color-accent-warm; replaces concrete usages with
--color-text-secondary (dates, flavor copy) or --color-warning (paused
status). Sweeps hardcoded indigo literals in component scoped CSS so
they don't bypass the token system.

Routing changes:
- / now redirects to /journal (Journal becomes the home view)
- /knowledge becomes a real route pointing at KnowledgeView (was a redirect to /)
- /notes redirect target updated from / to /knowledge (the Knowledge surface,
which is where the notes-related dashboard lives)
To revert (Knowledge as home): change the redirect target on the / route
back to "/knowledge". Knowledge stays a real route either way, so the swap
is a one-line edit.
Nav: Knowledge link in AppHeader now points to /knowledge. The "active" check
simplified to route.path === "/knowledge" since / is no longer Knowledge's
home. The brand logo link stays at "/" — clicks still go "home", which is
now Journal.
Keyboard shortcuts in App.vue (Escape, g h, g t) still navigate to "/" and
correctly land on Journal via the redirect — no change needed there.

Inspection showed only ONE record_moment call across the entire day's
journal — and that one had hallucinated person_ids. Multiple clear beats
went uncaptured: AP installation, going to watch a show with daughter,
decompressing-with-game.
The prior calibration said "use record_moment freely for meaningful
beats" — too soft. The model treated it as optional, especially when
already in chatbot-reply mode.
Rewritten: record_moment is now framed as the model's PRIMARY JOB. The
calibration includes an explicit checklist of what counts as a beat
(event, encounter, decision, observation, plan, feeling, accomplishment)
and an explicit instruction to call record_moment FIRST, before composing
the reply. Multiple beats → multiple calls. The ONLY skip case spelled
out: purely meta-conversational messages (acknowledgements, meta-asks
about prior tool results).
Tests on a fresh conversation will tell us if this moves the needle —
today's journal is poisoned by ten prior chatbot-flavored turns that
the model is pattern-matching against in its own history.

Per user clarification: previous over-rotation dropped the LLM-generated
prep prose entirely (just a phase greeting) and made the chat persona
extremely sparse ("you are a place where words go down"). User actually
wanted only the chat replies pulled back, NOT the prep dropped, and the
chat to behave largely like normal /chat — asking follow-ups and
verifying earlier details.
services/journal_prep.py — restored:
- _render_sections_for_prompt
- _PREP_SYSTEM_PROMPT (the direct, briefing-style prompt from 590a07b)
- _generate_prep_prose
- _fallback_prep_text
- ensure_daily_prep_message now calls _generate_prep_prose again
- removed _phase_for_now / _phase_prompt helpers (no longer needed)
services/journal_pipeline.py — persona rewritten:
- Old: "You are the user's journal. Be quiet. Listen. You are not helpful."
- New: "You are the user's assistant. Behave like the rest of the app's
chat: respond conversationally, ask follow-up questions, verify details
from earlier turns, use tools naturally."
- Calibration block reorganized: PEOPLE/PLACES (ask first), MOMENTS
(silent + use *_names), STATE-CHANGING TOOLS (confirmation flow),
OTHER, RESPONSE STYLE.
- RESPONSE STYLE keeps the no-apologizing / no-option-menus /
no-verbatim-repetition / match-user-length rules but drops the "be
quiet, one short sentence" framing.
Net behavior:
- Open journal → LLM-generated prep prose with today's tasks/events/weather
- Reply → assistant responds conversationally like /chat, asks follow-ups,
verifies details, uses tools
- Background: silently records moments via *_names, asks before creating
new people/places
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The prep was generating a multi-sentence recap of tasks/events/weather/
projects/recent moments via an LLM call. Per user direction, that's
redundant — the right-side widgets already show today's data — and the
verbosity made the journal feel chatty when the user wanted quiet.
Replaces the prep prose generator with a single phase-aware check-in
question (drawn from a static map: morning="How are you starting the
day?", midday="How's it going so far?", evening="How did the day shake
out?"). No LLM call. The structured `sections` are still gathered and
persisted on msg_metadata for provenance and possible future tooling
(e.g., search), they just don't render in the prep message.
Also pulls the journal persona way back. The prior framing pushed the
model toward stock therapy-template patterns ("I'm sorry you're feeling…"
+ numbered option lists). The new persona is "you are the user's journal —
listen, be quiet, stay out of the way." RESPONSE STYLE rules now lead the
calibration block and explicitly forbid:
- apologizing for the user's feelings
- offering to help / pitching tools
- multi-option menus
- verbatim repetition of prior replies
- padding short replies into paragraphs
Most replies should be one short sentence. Sometimes the right reply is
"Got it" + a record_moment tool call.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three real bugs surfaced from inspecting today's journal turns:
1. record_moment was getting fed hallucinated person_ids (the LLM passed
[1, 2] instead of the IDs save_person had just returned). Result: the
moment was linked to two random old test-data notes ("test task 2",
"Tell a joke"), not the people the user actually mentioned.
2. The calibration rule "ask before save_person" was being silently
ignored — model just called save_person on first mention of Victoria
and Mother without asking the user.
3. The model produced a verbatim-identical reply to its previous turn when
the user mentioned "overwhelmed" twice — same numbered-list of 4
options, same closing line. The "warm listener / ask gentle questions"
persona was pushing toward stock therapy-template patterns.
Fixes:
services/tools/journal.py — record_moment now accepts *_names parameters
(person_names, place_names, task_titles, note_titles). Server resolves
each name to a note ID via case-insensitive title match, scoped by
note_type or task-status. *_ids parameters still exist but are now
documented as DISCOURAGED. The LLM physically cannot invent the wrong ID
when using names — names with no match are silently dropped. Resolution
happens via _resolve_entity_ids_by_name helper.
services/journal_pipeline.py — JOURNAL_PERSONA tightened (no more
"warm/curious listener" framing that pushed toward stock comfort
patterns). JOURNAL_CALIBRATION rewritten as scannable sections with
imperative language: PEOPLE/PLACES require asking before save_person;
TASK/NOTE state changes use the confirmation flow; MOMENTS are silent
but MUST use *_names not *_ids; OTHER notes the no-set_rag_scope and
no-auto-notes invariants. Added a RESPONSE STYLE section that explicitly
forbids verbatim repetition and stock multi-option menus.
After deploy, force-regenerate today's prep via fable_trigger_journal_prep
to also pick up the tighter prep prompt from 590a07b.

The MCP was still calling /api/briefing/* endpoints I deleted in the
journal hard-cut. Replaced the briefing tool surface with a journal
equivalent so external MCP clients can inspect and control the journal
the same way they could the briefing.
Changes:
- New fable_mcp/tools/journal.py — helpers for /api/journal/* endpoints
- Delete fable_mcp/tools/briefing.py — RSS endpoints are gone too
- server.py: drop fable_list_rss_feeds, fable_add_rss_feed, fable_remove_rss_feed,
fable_list_briefings, fable_get_today_briefing, fable_get_briefing_messages,
fable_trigger_briefing, fable_reset_today_briefing
- server.py: add fable_get_today_journal, fable_get_journal_day,
fable_list_journal_days, fable_trigger_journal_prep, fable_get_journal_config,
fable_list_moments
- server.py: fable_get_conversation now points at journal.get_conversation
(same /api/chat/conversations/{id} endpoint, just lives under journal helpers)
- Update _INSTRUCTIONS to describe the journal model (replacing the RSS/briefing
section) — explains the daily prep, moments, day payloads
- Update top-line docstring: "Fable Assistant" → "Fable Scribe"

Previous system prompt asked for "warm, conversational, like a friend
writing a letter" which produced flowery preludes that buried the actual
data. Rewritten to:
- Lead with practical data (tasks, events, weather) — concrete and specific
- 4-7 sentences total, tight prose, no padding
- Recent moments / open threads mentioned briefly at the END as context,
not as the lead
- Voice: "competent assistant briefing the user" not "friend writing a letter"
- Close with a short journal invitation under 8 words
Also dropped max_tokens 600 -> 400 to bias toward concision.

The structured prep card was data-rich but voiceless. Replaced with an
LLM-generated conversational opener — same shape the briefing's compilation
slot had — that renders as a normal assistant chat bubble at the top of
the day's conversation.
Backend (services/journal_prep.py):
- Renamed generate_daily_prep -> gather_daily_sections (still pure data
fetching, no LLM); kept the old name as a backwards-compat alias.
- New _generate_prep_prose: hands the gathered sections to generate_completion
with a warm-conversational system prompt; returns prose. Falls back to a
plain greeting if the LLM call fails or no model is configured.
- ensure_daily_prep_message now persists the prep as role='assistant' with
the prose as content. Structured sections stay on msg_metadata for
provenance. Auto-upgrades legacy system-role preps in place on next call.
Frontend:
- Drop the <article class="daily-prep"> structured block from JournalView.
The prep is now just the first chat bubble — picks up the existing
Illuminated Transcript styling automatically.
- Drop dayMessages / prepMessage / prepSections / asArray helpers — no
longer needed.
- ChatMessage hideMessage filter: comment refined to clarify it only
catches LEGACY system-role prep rows. Current preps are assistant-role
and render normally.
Net effect: open /journal -> first thing you see is a warm assistant bubble
that talks about your day -> input bar below to reply.

The setup-wizard component was deleted in the RSS hard-cut (it was

Removes the entire RSS feature surface — feeds, items, embeddings, reactions,
discussion-note flow, briefing news context, settings, env-vars, and DB
tables. Keeps the URL-generic article-reader (the read_article LLM tool)
under a clean module so the LLM can still fetch arbitrary article content
from URLs the user provides.
Backend:
- New services/article_fetcher.py — single source of trafilatura URL→text
- New services/tools/article.py — read_article tool (was nested under tools/rss)
- Delete services/rss.py, rss_classifier.py, rss_filtering.py, article_context.py
- Delete services/tools/rss.py
- Delete models/rss_feed.py (RssFeed, RssItem), models/rss_item_embedding.py
- services/embeddings.py: drop upsert/semantic_search/backfill RSS helpers
- services/llm.py: remove _build_briefing_article_context, briefing-conv branch,
ARTICLE_DISCUSS_SEED skip-RAG branch; drop get_rss_items / add_rss_feed from
the actions list
- services/generation_task.py: drop _maybe_save_article_discussion_note + caller
- routes/chat.py: drop /api/chat/from-article/<id> endpoint
- routes/journal.py: re-import via web.py refactor (article_fetcher path)
- services/tools/__init__.py: register `article`, drop `rss`
- services/tools/_registry.py: drop the requires=='rss' check
- app.py: drop backfill_rss_item_embeddings + backfill_rss_article_content tasks
- config.py: prose-only edit (no env var change — RSS env vars were never first-class)
Frontend:
- stores/settings.ts: drop rssEnabled
- SettingsView.vue: drop the RSS-classification mention
- api/client.ts: drop openArticleInChat (the from-article endpoint is gone)
Tests:
- Delete tests/test_rss_service.py, test_news_api.py, test_article_reading.py
Migration:
- 0042_drop_rss: DROP TABLE rss_item_embeddings, rss_item_reactions, rss_items,
rss_feeds; DELETE settings rows for rss_enabled / briefing_*_topics

The journal UI was over-stripped earlier — weather panel, current-conditions
poll, and the upcoming-events sidebar were all dropped. Restored those (calls
the new /api/journal/weather, /api/journal/weather/current,
/api/journal/weather/refresh, /api/journal/weather/geocode endpoints).
Also: the daily-prep system message was rendering as flat text inside
ChatPanel because there's no .role-system bubble styling. Added a hideMessage
guard in ChatMessage so daily-prep system messages don't render in the chat
stream — they're already shown above as a structured prep card.
News / RSS reactions / article-discuss are intentionally NOT in the journal
(scoped out per user direction). The broader RSS infrastructure cleanup is
a separate, larger task.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Restores a working browser surface for the journal feature, which was
left UI-less when Stage F of the original plan was deferred. JournalView
is a fresh write (not a rename of BriefingView) — drops the briefing-
specific weather panel, news cards, RSS reactions, article-discuss
button, and setup wizard, since none of those have journal-backend
equivalents.
What it does:
- Fetches /api/journal/today on mount; shows today's daily-prep card
(rendered from msg_metadata.kind === 'daily_prep' sections)
- Day picker via /api/journal/days lets you switch to past days
- Refresh-prep button hits /api/journal/trigger-prep
- Center is the existing ChatPanel pinned to today's journal conversation
(so the chat input + SSE + tool-call cards inherit unchanged)
- Right sidebar keeps the upcoming-events list (uses the generic
/api/events endpoint, not a briefing-specific one)
Also:
- Replace the dead Briefing API client functions with Journal equivalents
(getJournalConfig, saveJournalConfig, getJournalToday, getJournalDay,
getJournalDays, triggerJournalPrep, list/update/deleteJournalMoment).
- Remove NewsView.vue — it was orphaned (no route, no nav) and depended
on the deleted /api/briefing/* endpoints. If a standalone news surface
is wanted later it'll need to be rebuilt against new endpoints.

Captures the FabledSword baseline (verbatim from initial draft) plus the
Scribe-specific decisions made during the first iteration pass:
- Hybrid accent rule (accent reserved for brand moments + nav/cursor +
tags/wikilinks/in-progress/focus rings; Moss/Bronze/Oxblood/Pewter
for action buttons by default)
- Light mode warm parchment (specific hex values pinned)
- Status + priority palette extension table (status-paused added)
- Typography: Inter for body, doc scale verbatim, two weights
- Chat-bubble "Illuminated Transcript" pattern codified
- Voice and tone: adopt principles, defer formal audit
- Border philosophy: structural not decorative
- Iconography: Lucide as source, strict 16/24 scale, 1.5/1 stroke
- Warm gold accent dropped (dates → text-secondary, paused → Warning)
Doc lives at docs/design-system.md. Polish pass (applying the system to
existing UI) is a separate, deferred phase.
