Milestone 334 step 2. The set of files that reach a plugin install lived in
two hand-kept copies -- SHIPPED in check_plugin.py and the workflow's paths:
filter -- with a comment asking a human to keep them in step. That is the
shape #3127 section 3 warns about, and both copies had drifted.
The load-bearing change is the exclusion. The version check reads "did
shipped content change against the base?", and plugin.json lives INSIDE
plugin/ -- so bumping the version is itself a change to the set, which then
reads as the change that justifies the bump. Every bump passed, no bump could
ever fail, and the check proved nothing while looking green.
manifest_differs_beyond_version compares parsed objects with `version`
dropped from both sides. One field, never the whole file: plugin.json also
carries description, mcpServers and userConfig, all of which reach an install,
and excluding the file wholesale would let a userConfig-only edit compute an
unchanged version and never refresh -- #2209 again with a narrower trigger.
Unreadable input answers "changed", because a spurious bump costs one cache
refresh while a missed one is the fix reaching the repo and stopping there.
shipped_content_changed returns None, not False, when the diff fails. #2663 is
why: a read that failed inside a broad except reported the same zero as an
empty window, and every counter read zero for weeks.
Two dead trigger paths removed, both found by writing the guard rather than by
review. fable-mcp/** outlived its directory by three months (deleted in
91bafb6, 2026-05-27) and assets/** named a path that never existed at all. A
paths: entry matching nothing never fires, so neither ever failed anything.
Their two orphaned bump scripts go with them -- a third manual-bump mechanism,
wired into no settings file.
DERIVERS is section 3's (deriver -> artifacts whose identity it decides) table.
The membership test is "can changing this file change what the artifact says
about itself?", not "is it copied in" -- a deriver is never in the COPY list.
A checker is not a deriver, which is why check_plugin.py is absent from it;
step 3's mint script adds its own row.
The workflow's paths: filter is YAML and cannot import Python, so "one
definition" is held by drift tests rather than an import. Said plainly in the
test module, because it is the honest shape rather than the ideal one.

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.
