Step 5 of #278, folding in #2534. The operator's no-gate decision for the web UI (#2482 — "an llm attached to this surface is the corrections system") has a precondition nobody had built: the corrector has to be able to SEE what needs correcting. find_duplicate_snippets had no equivalent for notes or tasks, so a duplicate note was only ever noticed by accident. find_duplicate_records(kind="snippet"|"note"|"task") — the same indexed self-join, parameterised. Tasks are notes with a status, not a note_type, so the kind split is a status predicate; mixing them would propose folding a to-do into a write-up. find_duplicate_snippets stays as a wrapper because both surfaces and SnippetListView consume it by name. What differs by kind is the CURE, and the report says so in a `suggestion` field rather than leaving the caller to guess: snippet merge — lossless, the survivor keeps every call site note NEVER merge. A correction pair → supersedes on the newer; state smeared across dated records → extract to the System's reference note; genuinely parallel → leave alone. Choosing needs the records READ, which is the agent's job — so non-snippet groups carry `members` with dates and any `existing_supersessions` already declared inside the group. A pair someone ruled on is not an open question. task usually the same work opened twice — keep the one with the history, cancel the other with a pointer. The snippet sibling filter stays snippet-only: it keys on symbol/code_sha, which other kinds don't carry — and for them a look-alike is a finding. Surfaces: MCP find_duplicate_records (classified into _READ_ONLY_TOOLS — the completeness test would have caught the omission), REST /api/notes/duplicates, and a KnowledgeView panel mirroring SnippetListView's — links only, no merge button, because for notes the report proposes and the correction is a read- and-decide act. The panel follows the type filter and clears when it changes, so a note report can't linger under a task view. Correcting the task's own premise: it claimed the snippet report had "no view consuming it" — stale; SnippetListView has consumed it since it shipped. The UI gap was only ever notes/tasks. Answers the question carried from #2482: yes, the update routes on BOTH surfaces can turn a record into a duplicate — the gate is create-time by design. This report is the mechanism that catches it after the fact, which is the model the operator chose. Refs #278, #2547
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.
