`report_preference` shipped reading PROMPTRULE_THRESHOLD_KEY, so the two arms were one dial: tuning the bar for an operator's prose silently retuned the lookup that runs when a task closes. That coupling is worse on this arm than it would be anywhere else. Every other retrieval arm scores a query that varies per call, so a mis-set bar shows up as a changed clear-rate. COMPLETION_QUERY is a fixed string, so this arm's best score for a given corpus is a CONSTANT — and a constant sitting under the bar is a dead arm rather than a quiet one. No volume of traffic reveals it. Found by the first live read for milestone 394 step 9: 69 calls, 69 declines, every one naming the same record at the same score (0.7194 against a 0.72 bar). Reading `best_available_id` (#3807) showed the record was about interpreting a REQUEST, not about report shape — so the declines were correct and the arm is healthy. The percentile alone would have said "lower the bar", which would have delivered a false positive on every completion report ever written. The bar does not move; the key does. Both defaults stay 0.72, so this changes no behaviour on any install — it makes "leave this one where it is" expressible, which it was not before. Settings grows the control (rules 25, 27), and the default-agreement check grows a row. Deliberately NOT included: a change to PROMPTRULE_DEFAULT_THRESHOLD. The evidence for moving it is this install's near-miss table, and rule 115 keeps a shipped default from being justified by one instance's corpus. That bar is a per-user setting and belongs in the operator's Settings, not in the product.

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.
