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).

+# Implementation: Developer Experience and Gitea CI
+
+## Summary
+Improved framework maintainability by adding contributor documentation, Gitea CI, packaging configuration, and cleaning up unused template files.
+
+## Files Changed
+- `AGENTS.md` (new)
+- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` (new)
+- `templates/contract-template.md` (deleted)
+- `templates/README.md` (new)
+- `CHANGELOG.md` (updated with all recent changes)
+- `pyproject.toml` (root config created in Task 3)
+
+## Verification
+- `AGENTS.md` contains build/test commands and conventions.
+- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` references the correct test commands.
+- `templates/contract-template.md` no longer exists.
+
+## Decisions
+- Gitea is the CI platform (matches existing infrastructure).
+- CI runs py_compile, pytest, and bash syntax checks.
+- Unused contract template removed; remaining templates documented.

+# SPEC: Developer Experience and Gitea CI
+
+## Goal
+Improve framework maintainability with documentation, CI, and cleanup.
+
+## Requirements
+1. Create `AGENTS.md` with:
+   - How to run tests
+   - How to run the dashboard
+   - Code/style conventions
+   - How to add/update prompts
+2. Create `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` that runs:
+   - `python -m py_compile` on all Python files
+   - `python -m pytest`
+   - `bash -n` on all shell scripts (or `shellcheck` if available)
+3. Update `pyproject.toml` with optional dependency groups.
+4. Delete `templates/contract-template.md` (confirmed unused).
+5. Document remaining templates in `templates/README.md` or `AGENTS.md`.
+6. Update `CHANGELOG.md` with entries for all completed work.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] `AGENTS.md` exists and is useful to a new contributor.
+- [ ] Gitea CI file exists and would pass on the current codebase.
+- [ ] `contract-template.md` is removed.
+- [ ] `CHANGELOG.md` reflects the new work.
+
+## Non-Goals
+- Migrating to GitHub Actions.
+- Rewriting documentation unrelated to the audit fixes.
+
+## Stop Condition
+When all acceptance criteria are met, output "CONTRACT_MET".
