Harden framework: tests, VRAM Python, dashboard spec, security, CI

- Rewrite vram_detect in Python with fixed config parsing and 10KB read limit

- Add pytest suite (72 tests) covering dashboard core, app security, and VRAM

- Standardize all prompts to .automaton/tasks/{task-name}/ path

- Reconcile dashboard spec with web implementation; remove themes.py

- Remove half-implemented refresh.py file watcher

- Harden dashboard static-file serving and task-name validation

- Add uncommitted-change guard to update.sh and real Gitea URLs

- Add AGENTS.md, Gitea CI workflow, and template documentation

+# SPEC: Harden Dashboard Security and Fix Scripts
+
+## Goal
+Close obvious security holes in the dashboard and fix script/documentation bugs identified in the audit.
+
+## Requirements
+1. Fix path-traversal guard in `automaton/dashboard/ui/app.py`:
+   - Replace string-prefix check with `Path.relative_to` resolution.
+2. Tighten task name validation in the review API.
+3. Add uncommitted-changes warning to `scripts/update.sh` before running `git pull`.
+4. Replace the placeholder repository URL in `README.md` and `scripts/install.sh` with `http://10.37.0.86:3003/hermes/automaton`.
+5. Add guidance on atomic artifact writes to `references/stop-hook-pattern.md` or `.rules.md`.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] Path-traversal check uses robust `Path` comparison.
+- [ ] Tests include path-traversal attempts.
+- [ ] `update.sh` aborts or warns when local uncommitted changes exist.
+- [ ] `README.md` and `install.sh` contain the real Gitea URL.
+
+## Non-Goals
+- Adding authentication to the dashboard.
+- Rewriting scripts in another language.
+
+## Stop Condition
+When all acceptance criteria are met, output "CONTRACT_MET".
