CI on 5c64ea0 surfaced a half-measure I had shipped and three tests pinning the
semantics it replaces.
**The half-measure.** Only the semantic arm was marking repeats; the write
path's PLACE arm still dropped a nearby snippet that was on the ledger. One
menu, two rules, decided by which arm happened to find a record — and the
marker would then read as a complete account of what the session has met while
covering half the lines. `seen` now means this call's own menu and nothing
else, so both reuse arms mark and neither withholds.
**test_session_dedup_excludes_ids_from_the_reuse_arms** asserted the drop and
the ledger going into the query. Both are the defect; it is renamed and asserts
the marker instead.
**test_a_pulled_snippet_already_seen_is_evidence_not_menu** asserted #7 was
evidence and NOT menu, with the limit widened by one to pay for the drop. The
premise was the hard exclusion; #7 is now both, and the widening is no longer
needed for it.
**test_a_record_this_arm_withheld_itself_is_not_a_near_miss** is the
interesting one. Its property still holds and its setup no longer reaches it:
a ledger repeat comes back from the search and is rendered, so nothing is
withheld and `best_available` describes the bar. The one post-search filter
left is a PULLED record this same call already listed by place — kept in the
query because `resembles` needs its score, dropped from the menu because it is
already on it — so the test is rebuilt on that, and a sibling test pins the
direction that changed, so nulling the score whenever the ledger matches
cannot pass both.
Also stubs `superseded_ids` and `owner_names_for` in the new test file, which
were reaching for Postgres in a unit job.

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.
