Restore archived tasks, fix dashboard scroll-reset, bind ornith, add Playwright smoke test

- **Restore 82 completed tasks** from tasks/complete/ back to tasks/ top
  level (all <7 days old per the cleanup policy; premature bulk archive
  was fixed).
- **Dashboard: fix scroll-reset on auto-refresh** — renderBoard rebuilds
  the board via innerHTML every 2s, destroying each column-body's
  scrollTop. Now snapshots column-body scrollTop + board.scrollLeft +
  view.scrollTop before rebuild and restores after (matched by
  PHASE_GROUPS index).
- **Dashboard UI additions** (pre-existing unstaged work): approval
  section cards, transition buttons, inline artifact editor (textarea for
  writing missing SPEC/VERDICT/etc from the detail modal).
- **Bind ornith as Implement model** — config.md: Model explicit to
  omlx/Ornith-1.0-35B-4bit-mlx, context window 32768. Interactive
  autopilot already used ornith via opencode default; now explicit.
- **Fix cleanup stub** — automaton-cleanup.sh had a stale --project arg
  pointing at a pytest temp dir (test isolation leak). Rewired to point
  at ~/.automaton.
- **Fix plist-isolation test** — test asserted host plist doesn't exist,
  but a real install creates it. Now snapshots mtime before run, asserts
  unchanged after (only a write during the test counts as bleed).
- **New Playwright smoke test** (tests/test_dashboard_ui.py) — 2 tests:
  board renders tasks, column scroll survives auto-refresh tick.
  Verified the test fails without the scroll fix (scrollTop resets to 0).
  Skipped via importorskip when playwright is absent (main CI stays
  green).
- **Clarify SI loop scope in README** — new-project onboarding section
  documents the framework-scoped self-improvement loop and options
  (leave/pause/create project loop).
- **CHANGELOG** documents all changes including the known model-divergence
  gap (mde tasks marked complete but per-role model binding was never
  implemented).

+# VERDICT: add-self-improvement-loop
+
+## Task
+
+Wire the self-improvement loop into `install.sh` (default-on for fresh installs) and `update.sh` (idempotent bootstrap for existing users), per D21.
+
+## Deliverables Review
+
+| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| R1: install.sh creates and schedules loop | DONE | `scripts/install.sh` lines ~70-82, 5 tests in `TestInstallShWiring` |
+| R2: update.sh idempotent bootstrap | DONE | `scripts/update.sh` lines ~61-70, 4 tests in `TestUpdateShWiring` |
+| R3: Tests | DONE | 16 tests in `tests/test_self_improvement_loop.py`, all passing |
+| R4: Documentation | DONE | CHANGELOG, README, technical.md section 9 updated |
+
+## Quality Assessment
+
+- **Test coverage:** 16 new tests, all passing. Full suite 409 passed (was 393). No regressions.
+- **Shell syntax:** `bash -n` passes for both scripts.
+- **Idempotency:** `update.sh` checks for existing loop dir before creating. `--create-loop` also refuses duplicates.
+- **Non-fatal behavior:** `|| true` on both commands ensures framework works even if loop creation fails.
+- **Security:** Adversarial review found no exploitable vulnerabilities.
+- **Documentation:** All docs accurate and consistent.
+
+## Verdict
+
+**APPROVED -- ready for complete.**
+
+All 4 requirements fully implemented, tested, and documented. The self-improvement loop is now default-on at install time (D21), with idempotent bootstrap for existing users.
