`_note_rows` carried 16 of the `notes` table's 27 columns. A backup -> restore cycle reported success and handed back a corpus with every snippet and process flattened into a plain note, every issue and spike into `work`, every provenance edge gone, and recurring tasks no longer recurring. The record-type and kind vocabulary is what #3128 and milestone 312 were about, and a restore erased it. Two more found by auditing every row helper rather than only the one being edited: `_milestone_rows` dropped `body` — a milestone IS the plan (0066), so every plan restored as a title with no reasoning behind it — and `_repo_binding_rows` dropped `ref`, the branch a ledger follows (#2873), so a restored binding silently accounts for a different tree. `arose_from_id` is deferred to a second pass beside `parent_id`, never written in the constructor: it is an id in the SOURCE database, so copying it through lands the edge on whatever record happens to hold that number here. An edge whose target did not survive stays NULL rather than being guessed at. This is the trap that kept the fix out of milestone 317 step 1. THE STRUCTURAL HALF. The coverage guard from #2293 checks TABLES against Base.metadata; nothing checked COLUMNS, which is how nine went missing from a table that had been "covered" for years — added to the model and the migration, both of which fail loudly, and never to the serialiser, which fails silently. `_COLUMN_EXCLUSIONS` now declares, per table, every column deliberately not exported and why, and a parameterised guard walks all 23 helpers and asserts the two agree. Forgetting is no longer expressible. Reconciling all 23 turned up one more deliberate exclusion worth naming: the `code_shapes` proposal columns are the machine's standing suggestion, cleared by judgment and recomputed by every refresh, so carrying them would restore stale guesses over a tree the proposer has not seen. Tests: the round trip drives the REAL restore_full_backup against Postgres, not a reimplementation of its loop — a test that re-derives the remap it is checking would agree with whatever the product does, including nothing. Backup v12.
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.
