Milestone 334 step 3. 0.1.48 was the last of 48 numbers a person typed by hand; forgetting to type the 49th is #2209, #1040 and #2220, three separate times a shipped fix reached the repo and stopped there. WHY A SCRIPT AND NOT A BUILD STEP. plugin/ is not in the image -- installs fetch it from this repo via marketplace.json, so the push IS the release and there is no moment at which CI could stamp a version in. Every other artifact in the family derives during a build (#3127 section 2). This one has no build to derive during, so the value is minted before the commit and CI's job is to prove it moved when it had to. MINT TIME, a fourth clock section 2 does not name. It prescribes commit time so two lanes building one source report one string; the plugin has one lane and no build, so that reason does not reach it. What is given up is reproducibility-from-history -- you cannot recompute the value, only verify it moved. That is acceptable ONLY because #3325 read the installer's code and found the refresh test is `P.version === H`, plain equality, with zero ordering comparisons anywhere. Where a comparator orders, an unreproducible version would be unverifiable too. Two artifacts in one repo now derive from different clocks on purpose, one directory apart. "Let's make these consistent" is the obvious tidy-up and breaks whichever loses, so the divergence is pinned in tests rather than only explained in a comment -- including an AST assertion that the mint script never imports subprocess, since a mint that can read history is a commit-time deriver wearing the wrong name. check_version_bump becomes check_version_is_minted. It gains the shape gate and a future-value gate, and it keeps deliberately NOT failing when the version moved without content changing: a needless re-mint costs one cache refresh, and failing the lane over a harmless act is how a check earns a --no-version in somebody's muscle memory and stops running at all. The implication that matters is one-directional. The mint script joins the version-relevant set, which is step 2's DERIVERS table finally being read by something. Section 3's asymmetry is why it is not optional: change the format string, change nothing else, and a diff over the shipped paths alone says "no content change" while the manifest keeps a value in the old format forever. Its own introduction demonstrates this -- adding the deriver is itself the version-relevant change that forced this mint. fetch-depth: 0 was NOT added, against this step's own brief. The plugin job carries a comment refusing it, backed by an observed act_runner failure (any `with:` block made checkout fail to extract, run 3027), and the reasoning holds: the check diffs two trees and the workflow already fetches main at depth 1. Checklist 6 is about jobs that derive; this one checks. Verified live before pushing: the session-context marker reports v2026.09.01.2252 keylessly, and both failure arms were probed by hand rather than assumed. The shape gate fires first on a reverted 0.1.48, so the stale arm is covered by unit test rather than by that probe.

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.
