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.

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, 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.
