verify_with / expires_when now reach a rule through both doors and come back on every read. The open question this step existed to settle was how to UNSET a nullable field, and the answer is one convention per door: - MCP: "" still means "leave unchanged" — an agent filling three fields must not wipe the other five — so clearing is explicit, clear_fields=["..."]. Naming the field is the one form that cannot happen by accident. - REST: a cleared form input arrives as "", and the service normalises "" to NULL for every nullable rule column, so an emptied input does what it looks like it does. Two idioms, one outcome, and the normalisation is what makes the step-3 sweep correct: `verify_with IS NOT NULL` would otherwise be true for every rule ever touched through the UI, and the sweep would list the whole rulebook and mean nothing. to_dict renders "" and NULL identically, so this is only visible against a real column — hence the integration module rather than a mock. Editing verify_with drops verified_at. A stamp certifies A CHECK, not a rule; reword the check and the old stamp vouches for something that no longer exists. Safe direction, same asymmetry as _valid_tier: a rule wrongly listed as due costs one look, a rule wrongly vouched for costs the thing the sweep exists to catch. Editing anything else leaves the stamp alone, or a rulebook tidy-up would reset every constraint and the ordering would carry nothing. Reads: rule_brief attaches `last_verified` ONLY to a rule that carries a check — its presence is the signal, and it says both "this asserts a fact that can go false" and "here is how long ago anyone confirmed it". "never" rather than null, per #2483. The check text itself stays in get_rule; a listing needs to know which rules can rot, not how to test them. Search hits carry the full trio, since a hit is exactly the moment someone is about to act on a rule. Also folds in the #3078 finding, which had been sitting as a note: create_rule now teaches that when_to_apply is the retrieval surface and must carry the SYMPTOM — the words you would type while stuck — not just the situation. fake_rule gains the three fields as None for the reason the helper already documents one line up: unnamed, verify_with is a truthy MagicMock and every stand-in rule would claim a check it does not have.

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.
