Step 5 of milestone 419. The milestone's subject is that a rule read and ignored is arithmetically identical to a rule read and followed, and the compaction is where that identity becomes permanent — the turns holding the evidence are summarised away, and the unjudged thing survives as nothing. WHY THIS IS ASSEMBLED IN THE HOOK. `rule_usage_events` has no session column; it is per user over a window. A session-scoped answer therefore cannot be asked of the server, and has to be built where a session is a thing that exists. Four ledgers four hooks already write: .rules.ids an arm NAMED the rule .opened.ids the session called get_rule (#4100) .acted.ids the session called rule_outcome (new here) .checkpoint.ids the rule HELD an act (#4214) Every one is an observed tool call. Nothing asks the model what it followed — milestone 386 ruled that out, because a model asked "did you apply rule 156?" says yes. Two subtractions: named-minus-opened is the arm talking to nobody, opened-minus-acted is the milestone's whole subject. PreCompact stdout is the compaction's custom instructions (#3680), not a message to the model, so the readout does not say "you slipped" — it says which ids must be carried through, which is the one thing a summary can do about an unjudged finding. SILENT WHEN NOTHING HAPPENED, and the accusations are conditional on having members. "0 rules unresolved" on every compaction is how a readout teaches its reader to skip it. Traffic is still reported, because the static instructions already ask for it in prose; these lines are the measured version. scribe_record_outcome.sh is the third ledger's writer, matched on mcp__.*__rule_outcome and mirroring scribe_record_opened.sh: TMPDIR only, silent, exit 0 on every path. A PostToolUse hook that spoke would put a line after every rule_outcome call and give recording an outcome a cost. Also: check_plugin.py skipped the new hook for want of a smoke event, which would have left the newest of the three ledgers as the only one the plugin lane never runs. Added, mirroring its sibling. tests/test_precompact_hook.py now isolates TMPDIR — the hook reads session ledgers from there, so without isolation a test would see whatever this real session had accumulated.

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.
