Rule 32 "Comments describe the product to a stranger" sweep over
src/, alembic/ and tests/. Comments and docstrings now say what the code
does and the reason as a present-tense constraint, briefly.
Removed:
- issue, task, note, rule, milestone and family-idea references
- "used to" / before-and-after narration
- quotes of decisions and incident stories from the deploying instance
- paragraph-length arguments, where a line or two carries the fact
Kept every hazard as a present-tense fact, e.g. timing oracles, the
proxy hop direction, and migrations that must stay frozen.
Also:
- Three test names lose "still"/"used to"/"pre_m304" phrasing.
- pyproject's description drops "FabledSword family".
The history these comments carried stays in Scribe and in git log.
A comment-stripping diff (Scribe snippet #6226 "codeonly.py — prove a
diff changed only comments") shows no code changed apart from the
renamed tests and the description string.

Capture starts in the body, so forcing a title feels odd and body-only
notes had no name — which made them unlinkable. Fix both: persist a
display_title = explicit title if set, else the note's first non-empty
body line (deterministic, no AI). The title field stays optional.
- migration 0012: notes.display_title (NOT NULL, best-effort backfill;
the app recomputes precisely on next save)
- derive_display_title() helper, set on create + update
- drive the /titles index, backlinks, graph edges + node labels, and
[[wiki-link]] resolution off display_title so body-only notes are
nameable, findable (command palette / [[ autocomplete), and linkable
- rename-repoint generalized: inbound [[Old Name]] links now survive a
name change via the first body line too, not just an explicit title
- unit tests for the derivation (explicit wins, first non-empty line,
blank/empty, length cap)
- frontend: display_title on the Note type; title field placeholder now
reads "Title (optional)"
First item of M4.5 (frictionless input & recall); unblocks the linking
work. Card rendering unchanged (no first-line duplication).
