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).

+# Adversarial Bug Report: Framework Self-Enforcement
+
+## Deep Review
+Rules in .rules.md are enforceable only if the agent follows them. No automated enforcement exists. The session discipline rule is concrete (with past failure example) which improves compliance.
+
+## Potential Issues
+1. **Circular startup**: system-prompt.md says read .rules.md, .rules.md says check config.md, config.md reference is static — no circular risk.
+
+2. **Rule enforcement gap**: The rules are instructions to the agent, not automated checks. An agent that ignores .rules.md will bypass all enforcement.
+
+## Verdict: PASS — rules are well-structured, enforcement relies on agent compliance.

+# Implementation: Framework Self-Enforcement
+
+## Summary
+
+Added rules and instructions so the framework applies its own task-driven development principles to itself.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### `.rules.md`
+Replaced the template placeholder with concrete, enforceable rules:
+
+- **Task-Driven Development**: All changes must go through tasks (SPEC → phases → VERDICT), no direct file edits, no manual `mkdir tasks/`
+- **VRAM-Aware Task Sizing**: Check `config.md` VRAM limits before scoping tasks, verify fit within max peak context
+- **Changelog**: Append entry to CHANGELOG.md when a task reaches Resolution
+- **Self-Improvement**: One rule per observed failure mode with concrete example, consolidate monthly
+- **Session Discipline**: After writing SPEC.md, stop and wait for user approval before implementing
+
+### `system-prompt.md`
+Added step 4: "Read ~/.automaton/.rules.md (global framework rules)" to the startup sequence.
+
+## Files Modified
+- `.rules.md` — converted from template to concrete rules (25 lines)
+- `system-prompt.md` — added global rules reading instruction

+# SPEC: Enforce Task-Driven Development via Framework Rules
+
+## Overview
+
+The automaton framework has a task-driven workflow (SPEC → Design → Implementation → Verification → Resolution) but nothing tells the AI agent to follow it. The agent makes ad-hoc edits instead of creating proper tasks first.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The agent reads `system-prompt.md`, `.agent.md`, and `.rules.md` at startup, but none instruct it to use the task-driven process. The agent treats framework modifications as "normal coding."
+
+## Framework Audit Context
+
+This task covers 4 gaps identified in `framework-audit/RESEARCH.md`:
+
+| Gap | Principle | Rule to Add |
+|-----|-----------|-------------|
+| G1 | Task-driven development | Create task before editing files |
+| G2 | VRAM-aware task sizing | Check config.md VRAM before scoping tasks |
+| G4 | No manual task creation | Never mkdir tasks/ — use Orchestrator |
+| G5 | Agent reads global rules | system-prompt.md must read global .rules.md |
+| G6 | Self-improving rules | Add rules per failure mode observed |
+
+## Changes
+
+### 1. `~/.automaton/.rules.md`
+
+Replace the template with concrete rules:
+
+```markdown
+# .rules.md
+
+## Task-Driven Development
+- All changes must go through a task in tasks/{name}/ with SPEC.md → phases → VERDICT.md
+- Never edit files directly without a corresponding task
+- Never create task directories manually (mkdir tasks/) — use the Orchestrator
+
+## VRAM-Aware Task Sizing
+- Before creating or scoping a task, check ~/.automaton/config.md for VRAM limits
+- Verify the task fits within max peak context (default: 12k tokens)
+- If no config exists, default to 8k with 25% headroom
+
+## Self-Improvement
+- Add one rule per observed failure mode with a concrete example
+- Consolidate contradictions monthly. Remove stale rules.
+- No rule without a real example of the problem it prevents
+```
+
+### 2. `system-prompt.md`
+
+After existing instructions, add:
+
+```
+4. Read ~/.automaton/.rules.md (global framework rules)
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `~/.automaton/.rules.md` has Task-Driven Development, VRAM-Aware Sizing, and Self-Improvement sections
+- [ ] `system-prompt.md` instructs agent to read global `.rules.md`
+- [ ] Agent creates tasks before making changes
+- [ ] Agent checks VRAM limits before scoping tasks
+- [ ] Agent never creates task directories manually
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Documentation/changelog process (separate task)
+- Project migration/cleanup (separate task)
+- Onboarding changes (separate task)
+- Dashboard task review UI (separate task)

+
+
+## Status: PASS
+## Summary
+Added task-driven development, VRAM-aware sizing, changelog, and self-improvement rules to .rules.md. Added global .rules.md reading instruction to system-prompt.md.
