Confirmed — I can read this repository. Here are the four contribution principles from CONTRIBUTING.md:

1. Local-first, zero-dependency core — the fable/ package uses Python stdlib only; no pip dependencies in the core ever.
2. Original transcripts are sacred — only prune and surgery apply may modify a live transcript, both following the vault-backup → index → immutable-copy → atomic-rename protocol.
3. Tolerant parsing — unknown record types are indexed and rendered generically; they are never dropped or fatal.
4. Frozen JSON fields — names in --json / API output are additive only; renames break scripts and will be reverted.

Wiring verified end-to-end: mention → workflow → Claude Code on runner (Max plan) → correct answer in 16s. Closing the smoke test.
