The badge fix (#3132) exposed the same defect everywhere: 48 rules painting a token as TEXT on an inline color-mix tint of that same token. Worst raw measurements, across every tint strength in use, both modes, over page/raised/hover: accent 1.53:1 · success 1.67:1 · text-tertiary 2.15:1 warning 2.32:1 · error 2.36:1 against AA's 4.5 THE DEFECT IS IN THE HOUSE, NOT IN SCRIBE. The semantic hues are shared family-wide, and the accent case was measured against every app's real accent, not assumed from Scribe's: Minstrel 1.81, Forge 1.87, Steward 1.65, Roundtable 3.01 — all failing. So the six -fg tokens are recorded on FabledSword (design system 1), where their parents live, rather than copied into each app. 45% toward --fs-text-primary clears AA for ALL FIVE accents (4.56-5.00), so this is one house token rather than five overrides, and it keeps deriving from --fs-accent — an app that overrides its accent still gets a legible tinted-text colour in its own colour, the same mechanism as --fs-accent-soft. The tokens are additive: a sibling app is unaffected until it regenerates its own stylesheet. One token is honestly redundant. --fs-text-secondary already passes at 4.82:1, and --fs-text-secondary-fg barely moves it. It exists so the rule has NO exceptions, because the alternative is a permanent allow-list entry for the one case that happens to pass — and a guard with an invisible exception is a guard that erodes. 46 substitutions across 18 files, each rewriting only the `color:` inside a block that tints its own background. THE CHECK NOW GATES BOTH SPELLINGS. It previously reported the inline form, because a gate nobody can satisfy on the day it lands gets switched off. Both are clean, so both fail the build now. And the check had a false-positive bug worth naming: its `color\s*:` regex matched the tail of `border-color`, `border-left-color` and `outline-color`, so it flagged seven rules that were already correct. A border is a non-text graphic with a 3:1 floor, not text at 4.5. A check that cries wolf on correct code is one that gets muted, so that mattered more than the noise. Verified by construction, not by passing: reintroduced each defect form (exit 1 each), and confirmed a legitimate border-only rule still exits 0.

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.
