CI run 6485 was red. Six failures, three causes, and only one of them was a stale test. THE REAL DEFECT. The compact branch dropped the `seen` TAIL along with the trigger, so a rule the session had already been told rendered exactly like one it had not. #3750's whole argument is that those are different claims — a repeat is rendered precisely because the session may no longer HOLD what it was told — and the tail is the entire difference a reader can act on. test_a_rule_the_session_already_holds_is_referenced_not_re_offered caught it within one commit, which is that guard working as intended. Fixed by keeping the tail and dropping only the trigger, which is both the cheaper and the safer cut: a trigger runs 300-400 characters after #3855, a tail about 100. Re-measured on the real renderer — top-full-plus-references is ~299 tokens against ~568 for five full lines, so about 2x the old single line rather than the 1.4x claimed before, for four more rules and no lost information. The comments carrying the old figure are corrected rather than left to read as a decision nobody made. THE FIXTURE THAT STRADDLED THE BAND. `_THREE_HITS` spanned 0.81-0.74 against a 0.05 band, so the act arms dropped its lowest hit and four cases of test_both_recorders_report_the_same_rules_for_one_call failed reporting a count mismatch — under a message blaming the exclusion filter. A guard pointing confidently at the wrong subsystem costs more than no guard, because it is believed. Scores retightened to 0.81/0.80/0.79 and the precondition is now asserted by a named test, so a future band change is told where the problem is instead of through four confusing failures. THE STALE CONSTANT GUARD. test_the_rule_arm_asks_for_one_rule_not_two pinned RULEHINT_LIMIT == 1 — a real decision, correctly guarded, for a world with a resident set. Rewritten to pin what replaced it, as relationships rather than values (rule 115): the arm can return several, and rules are narrowed HARDER than the notes menu because they measured flatter, not sharper.

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.
