The shape ledger showed the same test scaffolding defined over and over: _bind_user x12 (byte-identical), _dispose_engine x10 in three wordings, _no_supersession x3, _make_mock_session x7 in three subsets, a get-or-create User helper x2 (+3 inlined), and fifteen hand-rolled MagicMock note factories each re-explaining the same "an auto-MagicMock attribute is truthy" hazard (note 2109). Now: conftest.py carries _bind_user / _dispose_engine / _no_supersession as opt-in fixtures (pytestmark = usefixtures(...) per module, so unit tests pay nothing), and tests/helpers.py carries make_mock_session(), ensure_user() and fake_note(**attrs) — the hazard documented once, real values on every attribute the product reads. Call sites were rewritten by AST so titles with dashes and commas survived; the three SimpleNamespace _note stand-ins that only feed a single function stay local.

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.
