Finish the breakfix/issue-logging gap as a lightweight convention: when
recording a solved problem, capture symptom -> root cause -> fix and tag it
'issue' so it's findable instead of re-diagnosed. Pairs with the B9 trigger
('log when a problem is found'). No schema change — a structured note_type/
task_kind=issue is deferred to a joint schema pass with B7.

Drop the '(This instance's rules carry the specifics.)' pointer — universal
_INSTRUCTIONS must not assume this install has a particular rulebook. State the
ACL principle on its own so it holds for any Scribe install/fork.

The MCP instructions are domain-neutral except a thin layer of dev vocabulary
and one project-specific paragraph (B10 audit, task 812). Make the data store's
own instructions serve any domain, and add the missing positive write-mandate.
B9 (neutralize):
- 'before writing code' -> 'before you dive in'
- Note examples 'dev-logs' -> 'logs of what happened'
- record trigger 'a merge, a shipped feature, a finished plan' + 'dev-log note'
-> 'finishing a task, or hitting/discovering a problem that changes direction'
(folds in B8: log pivots, not just wins; mirrors the static-tier wording)
- recall examples 'ticket/dev-log' -> 'task/prior note' (server + SKILL.md)
- 'Engineering and workflow rules' -> 'Workflow and standards rules'
- slim the 'developing Scribe itself' ACL paragraph to a neutral one-liner
(project-specific specifics already live in rules #47/#78)
A4 (write-mandate): state up front that Scribe is the system of record — record
work here, recall before acting, don't keep project work in local files.
Refs plan 812 (B9, A4, B8-trigger); B10 audit work-log.

Direction change (operator, see plan task #755 work-log): the plugin must
NOT depend on disabling a native Claude function to work. It earns its place
by steering behavior, not by toggling autoMemoryEnabled.
Memory doctrine (no dual-write):
- using-scribe SKILL.md gains "Scribe holds these functions — don't keep a
second copy": route rules/recall/planning to Scribe, don't also write them
to native auto-memory, never instruct disabling a native function, and
accept a "Scribe-shaped hole" if the plugin is removed (recover over time).
- mcp/server.py _INSTRUCTIONS: drop the paragraph that told the model to
create/refresh a "rules live in Scribe" pointer in CLAUDE.md / ~/.claude
memory. That was an active dual-write instruction; the SessionStart hook is
the bridge now. Replaced with the no-dual-write / no-settings-dependency
doctrine. Supersedes plan #755 Phase 6 ("set autoMemoryEnabled:false").
Project-scope discipline (stop cross-project bleed):
- using-scribe SKILL.md gains "Stay inside the active project's scope": pass
project_id to every read, only reference/offer work on the in-scope project,
ask before switching.
- _INSTRUCTIONS scope bullet extended from reads to referencing/offering, and
flags get_recent as cross-project.
- get_recent docstring gains a scope note steering to scoped list_* when a
project is active.
plugin.json 0.1.4 -> 0.1.5 so clients' caches actually refresh (re-shipping
under the same version does not bust the cache).

Make the always-on / subscribed / project-rule distinction explicit at the
authoring surface so it can't silently regress (for this operator or other
users). Previously the tools said only 'cross-project rulebook rule' and a
bare 'subscribe a project' — nothing steered project-specific detail away
from shared rulebooks, which is how a Scribe-pinned rule ends up binding
every family project.
Principle encoded in 5 places: a rule's home is chosen by WHO it should bind,
and both rulebook tiers are SHARED so their rules stay general — they differ
in reach (all projects vs opt-in by theme), not generality. Project-specific
detail goes in create_project_rule.
- server.py MCP instructions: add the 3-tier authoring principle
- create_rule / create_rulebook / create_project_rule / subscribe_* docstrings
- using-scribe SKILL.md: a 'Where a new rule goes' note for the pull path

The MCP surface advertised writing well but recall poorly, and project
scoping had no anchor that survived past enter_project's snapshot:
- search / list_notes dropped the project_id their services already
support, so a scoped search was impossible — every query swept all
projects and bled unrelated work into the session.
- The tool descriptions were mechanical ("Semantic search over the
user's notes and tasks") with no trigger telling Claude WHEN to reach
for them; the server instructions were all write-discipline and said
nothing about searching before answering or starting work.
Changes:
- search, list_notes: add project_id param, wired to the service.
- search, list_notes, list_tasks: trigger-worded descriptions that push
passing the active project's id and reserve project_id=0 for a
deliberate cross-project sweep.
- _INSTRUCTIONS: add a 'Reach for Scribe to RECALL, not just to record'
block — search before answering/starting, check for an existing ticket
before create_task, scope reads to the active project (which does not
stick on the server).
Paired with always-on rule #75 in the FabledSword-family rulebook.

Renames src/fabledassistant -> src/scribe and all imports, plus the
default DB name and DB user/password (fabled -> scribe) in config +
compose. 952 refs / 154 files. Reverses the old 'internal name stays
fabledassistant' convention.
Code-only: live databases are still physically named 'fabledassistant'.
Deployed environments must set POSTGRES_DB / POSTGRES_USER (or rename the
DB) since the defaults now resolve to 'scribe'. Repo (FabledScribe), git
host (fabledsword), MCP (fabled-git) and the image name (fabledscribe)
are intentionally unchanged.
ruff check src/ clean locally; CI (typecheck + pytest) is the gate.
