#2277 counted ~150 "raw colour literals bypassing the tokens". Measuring them told a different story: 184 sat in `var(--token, #fallback)` position, and a check against theme.css shows every one of those tokens IS declared. So the fallbacks could not render. Not drift — vestigial. They were also not this palette. The most common were Tailwind and Flat-UI defaults — #6366f1 indigo, #22c55e green, #f59e0b amber, #3b82f6 blue, #e74c3c and #27ae60 — a second, unsanctioned colour scheme sitting in the codebase looking like the app's colours to anyone reading it. Removing them is not tidying. #2319's lesson is that a fallback is WORSE than a missing token: a missing token renders as nothing and someone eventually notices, while a fallback renders something plausible forever. These 184 were one token rename away from silently repainting the app in Tailwind. The design token check would catch the rename — but the fallback is precisely the thing that would make it invisible if the check were ever bypassed. Literal count 152 -> 45, which matters beyond the number: a report that is mostly unreachable noise is one people stop reading, and then it stops working while still passing. What remains should be genuinely worth looking at. Done with a paren-aware transform, not a regex — `var(--x, rgba(0,0,0,.5))` nests parens and `[^)]+` would cut at the first one and leave `))` behind. Verified after: every changed line is a fallback strip and nothing else, and every var() reference still resolves.

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.
