The column guard (#3182) makes a dropped column unexpressible on the way OUT. Nothing watched the way back IN, and that is the worse half: an export gap leaves an obviously thin backup, an import gap means holding a complete, correct file and restoring an incomplete database from it, with a success message. WHAT IT FOUND, the first time it ran. `code_shapes` was exporting `reason_code`, `recheck_at` and `diverges_from` and importing none of them. A restored ledger would have carried every judgment's verdict and not the code for WHY — the column the accounting reads to tell a scoped-css exemption from convention-plumbing — with every recheck flag cleared and every divergence pointer gone. `diverges_from` is a FK to notes.id, so it is re-mapped rather than carried: the raw source id would point at whatever snippet took that number in the destination, which is wrong rather than missing and is the milestone 333 trap one table over. WHY THE GUARD WAS ONE-SIDED. Not an oversight — the code was. Export goes through per-table pure helpers, so a test can hand one a stand-in and read which keys came out. `_restore_v2` built all 26 models inline in one 690-line procedural function, and there was no per-table unit to hand anything to. So the construction moved out, into a `_build_*` helper per table taking the exported row plus the id maps built so far. What deliberately did NOT move is the loops, the flushes and the id-map bookkeeping: that is the order-dependent part, where a mistake is a restore that half-works, and it gains nothing from being split. Returning None is "skip" and a None field is "degrade" — which one a table wants stays the table's own call, because both are right somewhere: a shape event without its project says nothing, while a usage event without one is still a real pull and dropping it would deflate the pull-through the table exists to report. The refactor was checked to be behaviour-preserving before the guard went in: all 26 constructor kwarg sets identical to HEAD, and all 28 skip conditions accounted for — 25 now in builders, 3 in loops that construct nothing (the rule_systems raw insert and the two in the final project patch). The guard then composes the two halves end to end: export a stand-in row, feed THAT dict to the builder, read which columns the model actually received. `test_the_usage_importer_restores_the_reading_project` read the source of `_restore_v2` with `inspect.getsource` because there was nothing to call; it is replaced by tests that call the builders and assert the skip/degrade behaviour directly.

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.
