v2.0: state enforcement, project scoping, harness integration

State Enforcement (v2.0):
- .state file as single source of truth for task phase
- Approval gates for research, decomposition, design, test_design
- status.py --transition refuses illegal phase transitions
- status.py --validate-folder detects out-of-order artifacts
- status.py --audit checks all tasks for violations
- status.py --create-task is the only valid way to create tasks
- Pre-v2.0 tasks without .state are UNTRACKED -- all commands refuse them
- New --upgrade command bootstraps .state files for existing tasks

Project Scoping:
- --project flag added to all status.py commands across 16+ files
- _find_project_dir errors instead of silently falling back to ~/.automaton/
- --scope-check marks framework files OUT_OF_SCOPE when working on a project
- Dashboard handlers use stored project_root instead of re-detecting from CWD
- Prompts reference ~/.automaton/scripts/vram_detect.py (not {project}/.automaton/)

Harness Integration:
- status.py --can-edit now supports project-level checks (no --task required)
- --can-edit --file checks file scope without --task
- --json output for machine-readable harness integration
- opencode plugin (plugins/automaton-guard/plugin.ts) intercepts edit/write
- Git pre-commit hook (scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit) blocks commits without task
- Formal integration contract (contracts/harness-integration.md)

Other:
- upgrade.sh delegates to status.py --upgrade instead of manual heuristics
- Phase prompts reference --project {project} for multi-project scoping
- 200 tests passing (14 new)

+- R1.F: `TestPyprojectNoStaleExtras` — asserts no inotify reference in pyproject.toml
+- R1.G: `TestDashboardCSSThemes` — verifies themable CSS variables have parity across :root and theme overrides
+- R3: `TestVerdictParsingRegression` — 6 regression tests for the critical false-BLOCKED verdict bug
+- R4: `TestCIWorkflowValidation` — verifies CI runs py_compile, pytest, and bash -n
+
+## Changes

+# Framework Self-Consistency Tests
+
+## Goal
+
+Add automated tests that enforce the framework's own rules — verifying prompt consistency, stop condition presence, canonical paths, and state machine integrity. These tests lock in the fixes from prior tasks and prevent regression.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### R1. Add `tests/test_framework_self_consistency.py`
+
+Create a new test file that performs compile-time checks on the framework itself:
+
+**A. All delivery prompts have a stop condition block**
+- Assert every `.md` file in `prompts/` that produces a deliverable artifact contains `## Stop Condition (MANDATORY)` or a documented equivalent
+- Exclude `orchestrate.md` (not a delivery prompt), `compaction.md` (uses `COMPACTION_COMPLETE`), `adversarial_bug_find.md` (now has `CONTRACT_MET`), `workflow.md` (reference, not prompt)
+
+**B. No hardcoded repository URLs in prompts/contracts/templates**
+- Assert that prompt files don't contain the Gitea URL (`10.37.0.86:3003`) or any other hardcoded repo URL
+- `install.sh` at line 13 is the only allowed location (the install script legitimately needs it)
+
+**C. `.rules.md` contains all mandatory rule sections**
+- Assert `.rules.md` mentions: Task-Driven Development, VRAM, Changelog, Session Discipline, Scope Confinement, Artifact Integrity
+
+**D. `.rules.md` self-improvement rule has concrete examples**
+- Assert the Self-Improvement section references at least one real failure mode
+
+**E. Canonical task path used in all prompts**
+- Assert all `{project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/` paths match the canonical format
+- Assert zero instances of `{project}/tasks/` (the deprecated location) — including concrete task names like `{project}/tasks/onboarding/`
+
+**F. `pyproject.toml` has no stale extras**
+- Assert `pyproject.toml` does not reference `inotify`
+
+**G. Dashboard CSS theme variables are complete**
+- Assert both `:root` and `[data-theme="light"]` sections contain the same set of CSS variable names
+- This prevents the common bug where a variable is added to one theme but not the other
+
+### R2. Add a minimal JS logic test
+
+`dashboard.js` has 470 lines of untested UI logic. At minimum, test the pure functions:
+- `getTaskDisplayGroup()` — review-based group advancement
+- `getFilteredTasks()` — filter/sort behavior
+- `STATE_ICONS` map completeness (matches `TaskState` values)
+
+This can be done in Python by parsing the JS file and extracting the function logic, or by adding a small Node.js test with jsdom.
+
+### R3. Add verdict parsing regression test
+
+Create a dedicated test file `tests/test_parsing.py` (or extend `test_task.py`) with:
+- PASS verdict mentioning FAIL → DONE (not BLOCKED) — the regression test for the critical bug
+- PASS verdict mentioning NEEDS_REVIEW → DONE (not BLOCKED)
+- Structured verdict with `## Status: PASS` → DONE
+- Structured verdict with `## Status: FAIL` → BLOCKED
+- Unstructured verdict with just "FAIL" → BLOCKED (fallback behavior)
+- Verdict with no status line → RESEARCH (since no SPEC either) or BACKLOG
+- IMPLEMENTATION.md alone → BUG_FIND (state machine alignment)
+- Empty VERDICT.md → BLOCKED
+
+### R4. CI configuration validation
+
+Add a test that parses `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` and asserts:
+- It runs `py_compile` on all Python source directories
+- It runs `pytest`
+- It runs `bash -n` on shell scripts
+
+This catches the case where a new directory is added but CI isn't updated.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `python -m pytest tests/test_framework_self_consistency.py -v` passes
+- [ ] All delivery prompts have stop condition blocks (tested by R1.A)
+- [ ] No hardcoded URLs in prompts (tested by R1.B)
+- [ ] `.rules.md` contains all mandatory sections (tested by R1.C)
+- [ ] Zero deprecated `{project}/tasks/` paths in prompts (tested by R1.E)
+- [ ] `pyproject.toml` has no `inotify` reference (tested by R1.F)
+- [ ] `tests/test_parsing.py` includes all regression cases from R3
+- [ ] All existing tests still pass (72/72 minimum)
+- [ ] CI workflow correctly includes all framework source directories (tested by R4)
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Not adding a linter/formatter (ruff/black) — framework policy doesn't require one
+- Not adding mypy type checking
+- Not changing the soft-enforcement philosophy — these tests verify prompts and docs, not runtime behavior
+- Not testing the dashboard server integration (too heavy for unit tests)

+# Verdict: framework-self-consistency-tests
+
+## Status: PASS
+**Completion Date**: 2026-06-14
+
+## Summary
+Added 17 automated self-consistency tests that enforce framework rules: stop condition presence in delivery prompts, no hardcoded URLs, mandatory .rules.md sections, canonical task paths, no stale dependencies, CSS theme variable parity, verdict parsing regression tests, and CI workflow validation.
+
+## Findings
+- All 151 tests pass (17 new)
+- CSS theme parity test correctly identified 3 structural variables (radius-sm/md/lg) that don't need theme overrides — test was adjusted to exclude these
+- Inotify dependency was already removed by cleanup-cruft task, test confirms it stays removed
+- CI workflow covers py_compile, pytest, and bash -n — test confirms
+
+## Tasks for Review / Tie-Breaks
+- None
