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)

+# VERDICT: State File Enforcement
+
+## Summary
+Implemented `.state` file as single source of truth for task phase, with approval sub-states (awaiting_approval/approved), atomic writes, forbidden artifacts per phase, task creation gate, and full transition validation in status.py.
+
+## Phase Results
+| Phase | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| Implementation | ✅ PASS |
+| Bug Find | ✅ PASS (1 minor finding) |
+| Adversarial Bug Find | ✅ PASS |
+| Doc Review | ✅ PASS |
+
+## Findings
+- All acceptance criteria met
+- Minor: `.gitignore` pattern for `.state` not explicitly enforced at project level (documented as metadata only)
+- Minor: Concurrent `--create-task` race condition is theoretically possible but unlikely in practice
+
+## Final Verdict
+**PASS** — All acceptance criteria met. The .state file enforcement mechanism is complete and working. All tests pass.
