ITEM 1 — the dead canon. StatusBadge is recorded canon (#2960) and its only consumer, TaskCard, has been unreachable since 2026-04-08, when TasksListView was deleted in favour of the Knowledge view. Four and a half months of a canon that rendered nowhere, which is worse than no canon: a session pulls #2960, builds from it, and matches a component nobody has seen. TaskCard is deleted (rule 22), and the canon is made real by adoption rather than by being left as a museum piece. ITEM 2 — MY OWN ISSUE OVERSTATED THIS, and the correction is the finding. "Three scoped re-spellings" assumed one shape spelled thrice. Reading them: KnowledgeView a task-status chip, just smaller -> a real duplicate WorkspaceTaskPanel a CLICKABLE cycler: pointer, outlined, transparent background -> a control, not a chip ProjectView PROJECT lifecycle (active/paused/ completed/archived) -> a different vocabulary Only the first was ever a duplicate. The others shared a class NAME and nothing else — which is exactly what would make a future consolidation merge three unrelated things. So: KnowledgeView adopts StatusBadge/PriorityBadge via the `compact` variant the canon already anticipated ("interactive/compact re-spellings are variants of it"); the cycler becomes `.status-cycler`; and project status becomes its own vocabulary. And there was a FOURTH, in ProjectListView — the genuine duplicate of ProjectView's project pill, differing by the amounts two hands differ by: 0.68rem vs 0.7rem, a 14% tint vs 15%, one bordered and one not. Both now use one ProjectStatusBadge. `statusLabel` went with its only caller. ITEM 3 — weight. StatusBadge and PriorityBadge used font-weight 600; the house style allows 400 and 500 only. Also "In Progress" -> "In progress", which was invisible under `text-transform: uppercase` and becomes visible the moment the compact variant turns that off. THE GUARD MISSED FOUR LIVE SITES, which is the part worth keeping. The project pills painted a hue on an inline `color-mix` tint of itself — measured 1.61-2.39:1 — and the checker only knew the `--fs-X-bg` token form. Widened, it finds 48 across the app, 26 of them --fs-accent. That backlog is not this task, so the check now splits: it GATES the token form, which is clean, and REPORTS the inline form with a count and its worst offenders. A gate nobody can satisfy today gets switched off, and then it guards nothing. Gate re-verified by reintroducing a defect — exit 1 with it, exit 0 without.

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.
