A recorded snippet points at a repo · path · symbol that WILL rot: files move, symbols get renamed, implementations diverge from the copy stored here. Nothing detected any of it, so a record degraded silently from "canonical reference" to "confidently wrong" — worse than no record, since it is surfaced with the same authority either way. WHERE THE CHECK RUNS. Agent-side, which the task flagged as the design question to settle first. Scribe has no checkout of the operator's repos and must not acquire one: giving the server repo access would make every install a credential problem and break instance-agnosticism (rule #115). The agent already has the working tree, so it does the comparing; the server remembers the verdict, makes it queryable, and knows when it has expired. New MCP tool verify_snippet teaches the four-step procedure and records the result; a REST endpoint mirrors it so the UI can clear a marker after a manual fix. WHY THE VERDICT CARRIES A CODE HASH. A verdict describes the code it was checked against. Invalidating it on edit means deciding which edits count — a when_to_use tweak shouldn't void a code check, a rewrite must — which is fiddly and easy to get subtly wrong, and easy for a new write path to forget entirely. Stamping the verdict with a hash sidesteps all of it: one whose code_sha no longer matches is self-evidently expired, computed at read time, no invalidation branch to maintain. That makes "expired" the interesting filter case. It is not `drifted` (nothing was found wrong) and not `unverified` (a check did happen), yet it plainly needs looking at — so `verification=attention` covers both. To keep that one index-served predicate rather than a post-filter that would make the pagination total a lie, data now also mirrors the CURRENT code's fingerprint as data.code_sha, and a jsonpath compares the two fields within the row. The filter is implemented in both dialects, SQL and Python, for the same reason the location filter is: the semantic arm's candidates arrive already fetched. A merge deliberately carries no verdict forward — the survivor's code is a union of several sources, so no prior check describes it, and unverified is the honest answer. UI: a danger-toned drift badge on each card (an actively misleading record outranks a merely unused one), and a "Needs attention" filter. Its empty state says plainly that never-verified snippets don't appear there — otherwise `attention` would mean "everything" on day one and be useless as a worklist.

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.
