One threshold served both act arms. The telemetry says they are not the same problem: write_path_rule 2,325 calls, speaks on 37%, near-miss p50 0.6989 pre_tool_rule 11,768 calls, speaks on 2%, near-miss p50 0.6794 The second is not quiet, it is mute — 11,530 of 11,768 calls said nothing, with near-miss p90 at 0.7097 against a 0.72 bar. Refused mass piled one hundredth under the line is what a bar set too high leaves behind, and the note arms are the control: auto_inject refuses at p90 0.5463, write_path at 0.6738, both far below theirs. The cause is query shape, not corpus. A write-path query is a code payload, long and rich — the case 0.72 was calibrated on. A pre-tool query is a shell command, often under a dozen words: less text, less signal, lower scores for the same relevance. MEASURED. Eight replayed queries against the post-#3855 corpus, consequential acts against innocuous ones: 0.7571 git push origin dev consequential 0.7245 cd ...; git fetch; git add -A consequential 0.7193 git pull --rebase origin dev consequential 0.6850 docker compose up -d consequential ------------------------------------- 0.68 0.6735 wc -l src/*.py && date innocuous 0.6544 grep -rn useState src/ innocuous 0.6099 sed -n '120,160p' package.json innocuous 0.6056 ls -la && cat README.md innocuous At 0.72 three of four consequential acts retrieved nothing, including `git pull --rebase origin dev`, where rules 153, 1 and 2 all ranked correctly between 0.7126 and 0.7193 and were all refused. The separation is 0.0115 wide. That is a direction, not a settled number, and the comment says so — near_miss_samples on a few days of post-#3855 traffic is what settles it. This also corrects an assumption the old comment stated: it argued 0.68 sat "below where this corpus's noise sits", inferring a higher floor from the corpus being homogeneous. Measured, the command arm's noise ceiling is 0.6735, so 0.68 clears it barely rather than sitting under it. Lowering is safer now than it would have been. Until #3851 this arm had one slot, so the bar was the only noise control; the band now filters downstream, so the bar's job shrank and the bar can. write_path_rule is unchanged — healthy at 0.72 on its own evidence. Guards: the two bars parse independently, garbage falls back to its OWN default rather than to the sibling's (which would silently re-merge them), the command default stays below the write-path default as a direction check, and each arm both SEARCHES and REPORTS at its own bar. That last one is a failure the single-bar code could not have had: retrieval_logs.threshold is what near-miss analysis is read against, so an arm searching at one number and logging another misreports the refusal and invites moving the bar that was already right.

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.
