CI caught two things in c61f730, and the second is the one that mattered.
1. `scribe_autoinject.sh` keeps its note ledger in `${TMPDIR}/scribe-autoinject`,
not `scribe-priorart`. Every ledger NAMED in the hooks was in the one
directory the sweep visited, so it read as complete — and the arm that fires
most (598 calls in five days) was the only one still carrying the bug. The
clear ran, found nothing to remove, and exited 0. `SCRIBE_LEDGER_DIRS` in
`scribe_defs.sh` is now the roster, and the guard reads that string rather
than a copy of it, so a test can no longer agree with itself forever.
2. The convention guard over-reached: it flagged `<sid>.snap` and
`<sid>.blocked`, which live in `scribe-afterwrite` and `scribe-reportcheck`
and can never be touched by the sweep. It is now two tests keyed on the
directory, because the two assumptions fail differently — one lets a ledger
sit where nothing sweeps, the other lets it sit in the right place under a
name the sweep does not match.
`test_only_the_rule_ledger_is_cleared_and_the_note_ledgers_are_left` also went
red, correctly: the note arms' exemption was a real decision, recorded in a
test, and my commit message said nothing about it had been decided. That was
wrong and the test was right to stop me. The decision is reversed rather than
ignored, and the reasoning is that #4101 removed its premise: it rested on a
note repeat being WITHHELD, so clearing the ledger meant re-injecting whole
menu lines the session already had. Now a repeat is rendered with a `seen`
marker, so the ledger only decides whether that marker is true — and across a
compaction it is false, telling a freshly-summarised session it has already
seen a record that is nowhere in its context. The test keeps its name and
records the reversal with the reason, rather than being deleted.
Verified by running the hook directly: all six ledgers across both directories
gone on `compact`, `<sid>.unreached` left standing.

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.
