Twice a shipped fix failed to reach a live install, and both times the only detector was the operator saying "I don't think it updated" (#2198, #2209). The reason it is hard to see: an install has two halves and only one self-updates. The marketplace clone pulls on its own; the CACHE is what executes and refreshes only when the manifest version changes. So inspecting the clone shows the fix present while the broken copy keeps running — the obvious debugging move actively misleads. The SessionStart context now names the version it is running. That makes "what is actually executing?" answerable from the transcript rather than by archaeology in the cache directory. DELIBERATELY SMALLER THAN THE ISSUE PROPOSED. #2220 recommended reporting the version to the server, storing last-seen per user, and surfacing it in Settings. That is three surfaces and a migration to answer a question the session can answer about itself. Per the operator's framing on #2338 — "I'm afraid of building another integration between two more surfaces, you being able to notice is enough" — the visibility is the deliverable, not the plumbing. It also lands the issue's own caveat, which the server-side design could not: the state most needing diagnosis is the one where credentials never arrive, and there the dynamic tier does not run at all. This marker is keyless and networkless, so it still appears — verified against both the unconfigured and unreachable-instance paths. CI pins it, asserting WITHOUT credentials for the same reason. Manifest 0.1.22 -> 0.1.23, because a shipped hook changed and an unbumped manifest is precisely the failure this commit is about.

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.
