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).

# 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)
