`update_rule` now snapshots the rule's text before it writes. Rescoping rule 79 meant hand-copying the superseded statement into a task log to keep it (#3237); the history is that, done by the write path instead of by somebody remembering. The snapshot is taken BEFORE the field loop, which is the one ordering that matters. `update_rule` drops `verified_at` when `verify_with` changes, and rewriting a check is exactly the edit whose history is worth most — a snapshot taken afterwards would file the NEW check against the OLD wording. Taking it up front also covers `clear`, which is a separate argument from the field loop and is how a rule that stops being a constraint loses its check entirely. Session-bound rather than opening its own like note_versions.create_version: the version and the edit that caused it commit together, so a failed update cannot leave a history entry for an edit that never happened. Two guards from the sibling are deliberately absent, and both are now pinned by tests rather than only by comments — "make it consistent with note_versions" is a plausible-sounding change that would silently start dropping history: - No MIN_VERSION_INTERVAL_SECONDS. That 300-second gate exists because note autosave fires every 60. Every version here comes from a deliberate update_rule, so three edits in one second are three edits. - No MAX_VERSIONS and no pruning. A rule is edited a handful of times in its life; a cap could only ever discard the one edit somebody went looking for. Kept from the sibling: the identical-content skip. Both doors resend every field, so without it a form saved twice would file an identical snapshot. `order_index` is excluded from the snapshot fields for the same reason — reordering a rulebook is not an edit to what any rule says. No delete-time snapshot, against the task's original scope and on the operator's call. A delete goes through trash_svc and is SOFT: the rule row keeps its full text and restores untouched, so there is nothing for a snapshot to preserve. Anything that survived a purge would be data the operator explicitly asked to be gone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
