# Clean Up Framework Cruft
## Goal
Remove or fix a collection of small issues identified by both audits: stray files, stale dependencies, empty directories, incorrect documentation, and unused wrapper scripts.
## Requirements
### R1. Delete or relocate `debug_root.py`
`debug_root.py` (9 lines) is a development diagnostic script at the framework root. It doesn't belong there.
**Fix**: Delete it. The functionality is covered by `find_automaton_root` tests and the dashboard scope endpoint.
### R2. Drop stale `inotify` extra from `pyproject.toml`
`pyproject.toml:13` declares `dashboard = ["inotify>=0.2"]` but the file-system watcher was removed in `remove-file-system-watcher` task. Zero references to `inotify` exist anywhere in `automaton/` source or in `automaton/dashboard/README.md`.
**Fix**: Remove the `dashboard` optional dependency group from `pyproject.toml`. Also remove the `inotify` mention from `test_additive_extension_model/SPEC.md` if present.
### R3. Delete empty `ui/widgets/` directory
`automaton/dashboard/ui/widgets/` is an empty directory with no `__init__.py` and no purpose. It was likely intended for future widget components that were never built.
**Fix**: Delete the directory.
### R4. Fix `config.md` system requirements claim
`config.md:58-61` says RAM detection uses `free`. The actual code (`vram_detect.py:137-162`) reads `/proc/meminfo` and `sysctl hw.memsize` — it never calls `free`.
**Fix**: Update `config.md:60` from:
```
- **/proc/meminfo**: Required for RAM detection (Linux)
```
to include macOS and remove the `free` claim:
```
- **/proc/meminfo**: Required for RAM detection (Linux)
- **sysctl**: Used for RAM detection on macOS
```
### R5. Document or delete `scripts/dashboard.sh`
`scripts/dashboard.sh` (11 lines) wraps `python -m automaton.dashboard`. It works correctly but is not documented in README or dashboard README.
**Fix**: Keep the script (it's a valid convenience wrapper) and document it in `README.md` under the Dashboard section. Add: `Or run the convenience wrapper: bash ~/.automaton/scripts/dashboard.sh`
### R6. Fix `_find_tasks_dir` return type
`ui/app.py:107-109`:
```python
def _find_tasks_dir(project_root: Path) -> Path | None:
tasks_dir = project_root / ".automaton" / "tasks"
return tasks_dir if tasks_dir.exists() else tasks_dir
```
The logic `return tasks_dir if tasks_dir.exists() else tasks_dir` is tautological (returns `tasks_dir` either way). The type hint says `Path | None` but actually always returns `Path`.
**Fix**: Change to `return tasks_dir if tasks_dir.exists() else None` or simplify since callers already handle missing dirs. Simplest fix: remove the condition and just `return tasks_dir`. `discover_tasks()` already returns `[]` for non-existent dirs and callers check `if tasks_dir`.
### R7. Fix `__main__.py:19` sys.path hack
```python
sys.path.insert(0, str(Path(__file__).parent.parent.parent))
```
This points to `/.automaton` which is already the package root. It does nothing when run via `python -m automaton.dashboard` from inside the framework directory. It may cause issues if `~/.automaton` is not the working directory and isn't on `PYTHONPATH`.
**Fix**: Remove the `sys.path` manipulation. When installed properly, the package is already importable.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] `debug_root.py` deleted
- [ ] `pyproject.toml` no longer contains `dashboard = ["inotify>=0.2"]`
- [ ] `automaton/dashboard/ui/widgets/` directory deleted
- [ ] `config.md` line 60 updated to `sysctl` for macOS, no mention of `free`
- [ ] `scripts/dashboard.sh` documented in `README.md` Dashboard section
- [ ] `_find_tasks_dir()` simplified to `return tasks_dir` with updated docstring/type hint
- [ ] `__main__.py:19` line removed
- [ ] `python -m pytest tests/` still passes (72/72)
- [ ] `python -m py_compile automaton/dashboard/*.py automaton/dashboard/core/*.py automaton/dashboard/ui/*.py` clean
- [ ] `python -m automaton.dashboard` starts correctly after __main__.py fix
## Non-Goals
- Not reformatting or restructuring files beyond the listed changes
- Not adding new tests (existing coverage is sufficient for these mechanical changes)
