Retiring rulebook #2 left the /design drift panel with no data source, and because its empty state was well-written the feature read as working while it could only ever render "nothing designated" (#2419). The original question is genuinely gone: theme.css is generated from design system 2, so checking the system against a sheet derived from it would be a tautology. The question that survives is the one no server can answer. A generated sheet still has to be LOADED and APPLIED, and nothing checked that it was: absent the record declares a token the app doesn't have — the sheet was never regenerated after the record changed, or never loaded differs the app has it with another value — a stale sheet, or a later rule that overrode it unrecorded the app declares a token in the record's own family that the record has never heard of Both sides go through the same engine so the comparison is honest: declared values are set on an offscreen probe and read back, which performs the same var() substitution the browser already did to the live values. Comparing raw strings would mark every derived token as drift. The designation moved with the feature — design_rulebook_id becomes ui_design_system_id, with a migration deleting the retired key rather than leaving an inert row. The prose extractor it fed goes too (#2288 said its runtime role ended when the import landed). Three orphans of the same shape, found alongside and fixed here: - darkOverriddenNames hardcoded [data-theme="dark"]. The sheet went dark-first months ago, so it matched nothing and the "mode-aware" flag silently left the gallery. Now matches the SHAPE of a mode selector, which also holds for an install whose modes aren't light and dark. - groupFor's prefix table never heard of --fs-, so 110 tokens sat under "other". Groups now come from the record where there is one; the table can only know families that shipped with the product (rule #115). - The type scale was a hand-written table of nine sizes marked "no token", true when written and false since the scale was recorded. Now rendered from whatever size tokens the sheet declares, so it can't go stale twice.

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.
