Milestone 419 step 2. Step 1 made an outcome recordable; this makes it readable. `retrieval_summary`'s rule block gains `applied`, `departed` and `distinct_rules_acted`, and `_compute_warnings` gains two codes. TWO CODES, NOT ONE WITH A ZERO IN IT. `read_and_unacted` reports rules that were opened and left no outcome, against the ones that did. It only fires once outcomes exist anywhere in the window, because a window with none cannot tell "every rule was ignored" from "nothing calls `rule_outcome` yet" — and on every install the day this ships, the truth is the second. Claiming the first there would be #3311's failure exactly: a statistic that could not vary being read as a fact about the corpus. The cold case gets its own code, `outcomes_never_recorded`, whose prose says in as many words that it does NOT mean the rules were ignored. `applied` AND `departed` ARE NOT SUMMED. A departure carries the reason the agent gave and is evidence about the RULE; an application is evidence about the agent. Folded together they would say only "an outcome exists", which is true of both and useful about neither. `distinct_rules_acted` counts either, because for the unacted arithmetic the distinction does not matter. An outcome is not a pull. The fold branches on OUTCOMES first and never routes an outcome through the surfaced/ambient split: `source` on an outcome row names the door the outcome came through, not a ranker, so the ambient distinction has nothing to say about it. An integration test holds that line — if an outcome leaked into the pull counters the silently-unchanged rule would vanish into a compliant-looking total, which is the confusion #4212 was opened to end. Verified by lifting the shipped `_compute_warnings` out of source with `ast` and exercising it against the six populations the new tests assert: cold instrument, warm instrument, departures-only, full compliance, nothing opened, and a failed read. The integration tests for the new counts run against real Postgres in CI — count(distinct) with an IN over an unconstrained column is a SQL shape a mock would agree with whatever it did, which is what #2663 was.

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.
