Step 4 of milestone 288 (decision #2686). services/forge.py defines the contract steps 5-7 consume — read_file (content + last_commit_sha, the provenance stamp), default_branch, resolve_repo, check — with GiteaForge as the first implementation over the REST contents/repo/version/user endpoints. Repo identity reuses normalize_repo_key: the host segment selects whether this forge serves a recorded repo, the remainder is the API path, so no new identity scheme exists. Read-only by construction; errors never carry the token; first outbound-HTTP timeout convention (5s total, no retries — the consumer's fallback is the retry policy). OPTIONAL per instance (rule #115): get_forge() returns None when unconfigured and every consumer treats None as today's behavior. Config lives in admin settings (Settings → Config → Git Forge: kind/base URL/token, save + test-connection probe reporting version + identity), with FORGE_* env / Docker-secret fallbacks; DB wins so a UI edit can't silently lose to an env var. Token treatment follows the smtp_password convention (masked on read, mask-sentinel skipped on write, absent from audit details) — and wiring it surfaced that the generic GET/PUT /api/settings dump bypassed that masking for the owning admin's raw KV rows, so secret keys are now masked there too (fixes the same exposure for smtp_password). Contract tests run against httpx.MockTransport as the fake forge — the reference behaviors the GitHub adapter (step 8) must reproduce — plus the off-by-default gate, partial-config-is-off, env-vs-DB precedence, and route/mask structural checks. Also: the step-2 definition detector learned to skip dunders after flagging __init__ as 'already defined in 4 files' on this step's own build — guaranteed noise for a hint that must stay trustworthy.

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.
