Adds `kind` to rules — `rule` binds, `preference` is how the operator wants work done. One column, because the two differ in exactly one dimension and everything else a preference needs already lives on `rules`: a trigger column, a trigger-dominated embedding document, ownership-scoped search, three retrieval arms with telemetry, typed relations, and versioning. Defaults to `rule`, so nothing changes force on upgrade — 0088's argument for `tier`, unchanged. `rule_versions` gets the column too, and that half is not bookkeeping. `record_if_changed` decides whether an edit deserves a snapshot by comparing the fields a version carries, so a field absent from SNAPSHOT_FIELDS is a field whose change records no history at all. Without it, turning a rule into a preference — the moment something stops binding, and the single most consequential edit either kind can undergo — would leave the history silent. Backup carries it through all four seams. A missed one would have restored every preference as a rule, quietly. Guarded on real Postgres in three halves: a preference writes, a typo is refused (without which every other assertion would pass against a table whose CHECK had been dropped), and a row written with no kind reads back as `rule` — the migration's whole safety claim, asserted rather than assumed.

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.
