#3852 and #3853 each added a threshold and neither added its input, so two of the eleven retrieval settings were reachable only through the database. The other nine have had UI all along. That matters because the issue said otherwise. #3927 claimed none of the ten appeared in the frontend, on the strength of a grep across `web/src` — a directory this repo does not have. An empty result from a path that cannot match was read as "no UI anywhere", and a rule-25 argument was written on top of it. The issue is corrected rather than quietly rewritten: it is #3720's defect, absence read as non-existence, committed while filing issues about the product doing the same thing. A grep that returns nothing and a grep that cannot match produce the same output, and only a positive control tells them apart. So this is small, which is the honest size: - `kb_toolrule_threshold` — the command arm's bar. The hint says why it sits BELOW the write-path one rather than leaving that looking like a mistake: a shell command is short, so it scores lower for the same relevance, and at a shared bar this arm spoke on 2% of calls against the write path's 37%. - `kb_promptrule_threshold` — the prompt boundary, a third query shape again, and the only moment that reaches a rule about how to ANSWER. Both follow the five-site pattern the existing controls use: ref, clamp on save, write-back, payload key, load. Separate keys, because the finding of #3853 is that one number cannot serve arms whose queries differ in shape. Also corrects copy that went stale this morning. The standing-rule hint still said the arm surfaces "only rules marked conditional, since always-on ones are already loaded" — describing a tier milestone 394 removed, on the surface whose whole job is telling the operator what the bar does. The guard is the part worth keeping. A form's initial value is a CLAIM about the server's default, and nothing connected the two: retune the Python constant and the input keeps rendering the old number, which the operator reads as the bar in force. It pins the relationship across all five thresholds, never the values, so retuning stays free as long as both move — and it is falsified against a drifted form 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.
