A conditional rule is not resident, so a session can be about to violate one it was never handed. This arm notices: when what is being written resembles a rule's trigger, the hint names it and says to read it before deciding it does not apply. A SUGGESTION, and the plan was wrong about why it could be more. It claimed the hook "already resolves a path to an area" — it does not, and nothing in Scribe maps a path to a System or a canonical area (build_write_path_hint resolves paths against snippet LOCATIONS, a different index; the learned-alias idea belongs to another project). Correction logged on the task. Rather than invent path→area inference to make a stale claim true, the arm does what D7 already decided and what this surface already IS: tags bind at enter_project, meaning suggests here. The header of the hook says NEVER BLOCKS; dressing a hint up as binding would have been the actual mistake. CONDITIONAL RULES ONLY. An always-on rule is already in the session, so re-offering it is noise — and noise on a hint that fires on every write is how a hint gets ignored. Telemetry goes to retrieval_logs, NOT note_usage_events, and that is a correctness call rather than a preference: note_usage ids are REMAPPED on a backup restore, so a rule id written there would come back attached to whatever note took that number — silently corrupting the evidence the next true-up is supposed to read. retrieval_logs is never restored and `source` already separates surfaces. record_retrieval's `results` type widened to match what it actually needs (an `.id`), instead of passing a Rule to something annotated Note. The rule dedup gets its OWN state file and query parameter, like the three channels before it — #2708's lesson was that one shared channel lets a hint of one class silence a different class that had never been shown. Plugin version bumped: a hook change clients cannot see did not ship (#1040). The stub is autouse in conftest rather than added to forty-odd call sites: the arm loads an embedding model, and every existing test that stubs the NOTES search would otherwise pull a real model in through the one arm it had no way to know about.

Fabled Scribe
A self-hosted work system-of-record for software projects, built to be driven by Claude Code. Notes, tasks, issues, projects, milestones, rules, and stored processes — reachable from Claude via a built-in MCP endpoint and a bundled Claude Code plugin, with a clean web UI for humans. No in-app LLM; Claude is the sole assistant.
Features
Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, issues, and kanban project workspaces. Stored processes, an engineering rulebook system (with an inception step that decides what each project inherits), and semantic search with proactive knowledge-injection into Claude's context. A knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, and a built-in MCP server (/mcp) plus a bundled Claude Code plugin so Claude can record and recall your work directly.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. No GPU or local model needed — Claude is the sole assistant, reached over MCP.
Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:
# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d
Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. To connect Claude, create an API key under Settings → API Keys and install the Claude Code plugin — see API Keys & MCP.
Development: To build from source, see Development.
