lesson kind, and one join for every trigger title (#3729)
Milestone 385 step 2, implementing decision #4157 from the step-1 spike. The kind: `note_type='lesson'`, a note findable by WHEN IT APPLIES rather than by what it is about. The trigger lives in `notes.data.when_to_apply`, mirrored into the title and the head of the body — the shape snippets already use, and the reason nothing re-embeds: chunk_document is untouched, so CHUNKER_VERSION does not move. NO MIGRATION, and the step assumed there would be one. `note_type` carries no CHECK — only `task_kind` does (0056, 0065). Migration 0036 added it as plain Text with a server default and nothing has gated it since, so rule 36 has no whitelist to expand and #3128's failure mode (a value the database refuses) cannot arise for this column. The vocabulary that actually decides what a reader can reach is services.knowledge._FACETS, which since #3161 is one table feeding the door's validation, the counts and both dialects of the type filter — so the kind lands there in a single edit. ONE JOIN, not a fourth copy. `{subject} — {trigger}` had three implementations: rule_document, snippets.compose_title, and this step needed another. #3207 records what that costs, so the join moves to embeddings.trigger_title beside embedding_text and all three delegate. Behaviour is unchanged for rules and snippets; the guard calls each through its own public name, so a re-implementation fails it. The #3163 bill is stated in the service docstring rather than left to be inferred: versions, supersession, trash, the share ACL, tags, project and System tagging, chunked embeddings and the duplicate gate are all inherited; status/task_kind/milestone_id and recurrence are not, and verify_with/expires_when are available but outside the kind's contract. The status cell is the one that matters — `is_task` IS `status is not None`, so a lesson that acquired one would become a task. The integration guard asserts the WRITE rather than the constraint: it holds whether or not note_type is ever gated, and goes red only if it is gated without this value.

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.
