The review surface shipped yesterday reported two canons on its first live day and both were sound. Coherence was "do all judged rows share a form", which #2844 failed at 37/62 = 0.597 for containing a model class and the to_dict the canon's own text says the class must carry, and #2849 failed at 4/7 for pairing sync loop-starters with the async ticks they schedule. A review surface whose whole output is noise is one that stops being read. The obvious repair is a trap, and there is now a test standing in front of it. Grouping by family and keeping a majority test makes the check BLIND: before #2844 was cleaned by hand it held 37 classes and 56 callables, which as families is 56/93 = 0.602 — a clean pass, and the 31 rows that had no business being there (Vue functions, route handlers, a dozen tests) would never have been reported at all. A looser bar in the same shape is worse than the bug. So the verdict is inverted. Instead of asking whether most rows agree, it asks how many rows the canon CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR: a row in the majority family is accounted for; a callable defined in a file that also holds a majority-family `type` row is a method of a member, not a foreign body; and strangers above a fifth of the readable rows make the canon incoherent. The majority vote abstains those methods, so a class's own serialisers cannot outvote the classes and turn the members into the strangers. Measured on the real ledger before it was written, which is why it is this rule and not a nudge to the share: clean #2844 has 0 strangers in 62, #2849 has 0 in 7, and polluted #2844 had 31 in 93 — the same 31 withdrawn by hand this morning, named exactly. The entry now carries `families`, the majority `family`, `attached`, `stranger_count`, `unattended`, and `strangers` — THE ROWS THAT DO NOT FIT, replacing a sample of the first twelve members. The reader's question is which rows are wrong, and a sample of the agreeing majority cannot answer it. `unattended` is the discriminator between a check that is too strict and a ledger full of junk: both canons flagged on day one were entirely audit-judged, and nothing showed that without opening each one. Scoped to the review surface. `canon_form` still answers at the precise form level for stamping and divergence, where a sync helper beside an async canon is a fair question; nothing here changes what the ledger writes.

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.
