The design surface is for the projects an install tracks. /design read the running app's own stylesheet — names out of a bundled theme.css, values out of getComputedStyle(document.documentElement) — so it could only ever describe the instance serving the page. Scribe is one project among the projects Scribe tracks; it gets no view hardcoded into every install. The mechanism that makes this a tool rather than a mirror already existed and already covers Scribe: scripts/check_design_tokens.py runs in CI against a sheet path it knows nothing about, using check_code_against_tokens — the same engine behind check_snippets_against_system. /design was redundant even here. Removed: DesignView, DesignTabs (nothing left to tab between), api/design.ts, routes/design.py and its blueprint, the /design route, ui_design_system() and its setting, and the Settings picker that designated "this app's UI". utils/designTokens.ts and utils/designDrift.ts go with it — between them they were the browser-reading half. What survives is utils/designValues.ts, which works on a record rather than a document: valueForMode, modesPresent, and resolveDeclared. resolveDeclared gained real isolation in the move. Custom properties inherit and `all: initial` does not reset them, so a probe sitting in this page would resolve any reference a record leaves undeclared against the SURROUNDING app's tokens — previewing another project's system would quietly borrow this one's palette wherever that system was incomplete, and a token already reported under unknown_refs would render as though it were fine. Undeclared references are now blanked on the probe first, so they resolve to nothing, which is what the record says they are. Migration 0075 absorbs ui_design_system_id alongside design_rulebook_id rather than an 0076 undoing it: 0075 has not run anywhere, since dev is unmerged and deploys come from main. Both keys named a design source for the running install, and a project already carries its own pointer. This retires the agreement panel shipped yesterday. It asked whether the sheet was actually loaded and applied — the one question a record cannot answer about itself — but only ever about the app you are already inside. Nothing replaces it; recorded in #2430 rather than quietly dropped. Step 1 of milestone #274.

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.
