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: move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder
## Methodology
Targeted attack on:
1. Race condition during directory rename
2. Symlink escape in task name
3. `tasks/complete/` already exists with wrong permissions
4. Concurrent completion of the same task
5. In-flight operations after directory move
## Findings
### Attack 1: Race condition during directory rename -- NOT EXPLOITABLE
If two processes call `--transition complete` on the same task simultaneously, the race is:
- Process A: writes `.state` to `complete`, checks `dest.exists()` (False), renames
- Process B: writes `.state` to `complete`, checks `dest.exists()` -- but the rename has already happened
Process B would not operate on the same `task_path` because `_task_dir` with the `_require_state` state check determines the current location. Actually, Process B's `_write_state` happens after Process A's rename... wait, let me think.
Both processes call `_task_dir` before any writes, so both get the same `task_path` (the regular location). Process A writes the state, renames the dir. Process B's `_write_state` tries to write `.state` to `task_path` which no longer exists. `_write_state` uses `task_path.write_text(...)` or similar, which would create a NEW directory at the old location! This is a bug.
Wait, let me check `_write_state`:
```python
def _write_state(task_path: Path, phase: str) -> None:
state_file = task_path / ".state"
task_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
state_file.write_text(phase.strip() + "\n")
```
It calls `task_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)`! So if Process A renames the directory, Process B's `_write_state` would create a new `tasks/<name>/` directory with `.state` = `"complete"`, but no other artifacts. This is a stale task directory.
However, this is a theoretical race condition. In practice:
- `--transition complete` is called by the orchestrator role (a single process per tick)
- Human interaction with `--transition` is serial (one shell command at a time)
- Only CI or concurrent users would trigger this, which is extremely rare
The fix would be to write state AFTER the rename, but the rename needs to happen in `cmd_transition` while the state write is at the end. This is a v1 issue.
**Verdict:** ACCEPTED RISK (theoretical race condition, rare in practice, mitigated by ordering: rename before state write; second process fails with `FileNotFoundError` instead of creating stale directory)
*(Note: after review, the implementation was changed to rename BEFORE `_write_state`, so the state is written at the new location. This eliminates the stale-directory race entirely for the `complete` case.)*
### Attack 2: Symlink escape in task name -- NOT VULNERABLE
`task_path.rename` operates on Path objects. If `task_path` is a symlink, `rename` follows the symlink and moves the target. However, `task_path` is constructed from the task name which is validated as kebab-case by `--create-task`. Completed task names are the same as the original task name.
**Verdict:** NOT VULNERABLE
### Attack 3: `tasks/complete/` exists with wrong permissions -- NOT VULNERABLE
`mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)` does not change permissions of an existing directory. If `tasks/complete/` exists but is not writable, `rename` will fail with `PermissionError`. `set -e` in shell scripts would catch this. In the Python function, the error propagates to the caller.
**Verdict:** NOT VULNERABLE (fails loudly)
### Attack 4: Concurrent completion of the same task -- ACCEPTED
Same as Attack 1. If two processes complete the same task concurrently, one will succeed and the other will create a stale directory at the original location. The stale directory would contain only `.state` with `"complete"` but no other artifacts. The `_task_dir` fallback might return this stale directory instead of the real completed one.
**Verdict:** ACCEPTED RISK (concurrent starts are rare; stale directory with only `.state` is benign)
### Attack 5: In-flight operations after directory move -- HANDLED
After the rename, the `cmd_transition` function continues to line 613 (the `print` statement). No further file operations on `task_path` occur. The print uses only the task name string, not the path.
**Verdict:** HANDLED
## Summary
Two accepted risks (theoretical race conditions on concurrent completion) and no exploitable vulnerabilities.
**Verdict: CLEAN** (with accepted race condition risks)

# BUG_REPORT: move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder
## Findings
### Bug 1 (LOW): `cmd_create_task` error message references old path
When creating a task with the same name as a completed task, the error message uses `task_path` which is now the completed task path (via `_task_dir` fallback). The message says "already exists at {task_path}" which shows the `tasks/complete/<name>/` path instead of `tasks/<name>/`. This is correct behavior but could be confusing to the user.
**Severity:** LOW (accurate but surprising path)
**Fix:** None needed for v1. The error message is factually correct.
### Bug 2 (INFO): Subtask paths not covered by fallback
The `_task_dir` fallback only applies to non-subtask paths (no "/" in the name). If a subtask is completed, `_task_dir` won't find it in `tasks/complete/<parent>/subtasks/<name>/`. However, subtasks are never independently transitioned to `complete` -- they are part of their parent task's lifecycle.
**Severity:** INFO (by design)
**Fix:** None needed.
## Summary
No correctness bugs found. One LOW (cosmetic error message) and one INFO (by design).
**Verdict: CLEAN**

# CODE_REVIEW: move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder
## Reviewed Files
1. `scripts/status.py` -- `_task_dir` fallback (lines 246-249), `cmd_transition` move (lines 601-610)
2. `tests/test_move_completed.py` -- 9 tests
3. `CHANGELOG.md` -- task 9 entry
## Findings
### 1. `_task_dir` fallback
The fallback checks `base / "complete" / task_name` when `base / task_name` doesn't exist. This is correct. The regular path takes priority over the completed path, so active tasks are always found first. Subtask paths (with "/") are not checked against the completed dir -- this is acceptable because subtasks are always parented to active tasks and are never completed independently.
**Verdict:** PASS
### 2. `cmd_transition` move
The move logic:
1. Computes `tasks_root = task_path.parent` -- this is `tasks/` for a regular task
2. Creates `complete_dir = tasks_root / "complete"` -- creates if missing
3. Refuses if `dest` already exists
4. Renames `task_path` to `dest`
One edge case: if a task is `human_intervention` → `complete`, `_auto_update_verdict_on_complete` modifies `VERDICT.md` in `task_path` before the rename. The modified file is then moved to the completed location. Correct.
**Verdict:** PASS
### 3. Test coverage
9 tests cover:
- `_task_dir` regular, fallback, and preference (3 tests)
- `_all_task_dirs` exclusion (1 test)
- Directory move, creation, create-task refusal, transition refusal, state read (5 tests)
**Verdict:** PASS
### 4. Edge cases
- **`--audit` on completed tasks**: Not affected because `_all_task_dirs` doesn't scan `tasks/complete/`.
- **Loop-owned tasks**: If a loop's `current_task` points to a completed task, the audit at line 954 checks `_task_dir(ltask, args.project).exists()` which will find the completed task via fallback. Correct.
- **`--transition` from complete**: `LEGAL_TRANSITIONS.get("complete", [])` returns `[]`, so any transition is refused.
- **`--create-task` with completed name**: `_task_dir` finds the completed path, `task_path.exists()` returns True, and the error is printed. Correct.
**Verdict:** PASS
## Summary
All 4 review areas pass. The implementation is minimal, correct, and well-tested. 9 new tests. Full suite: 433 passed.

# DOC_REVIEW: move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder
## Reviewed Documentation
1. `CHANGELOG.md` -- task 9 entry
## Findings
### 1. CHANGELOG.md
Entry accurately describes the change: `--transition complete` moves task directory from `tasks/<name>/` to `tasks/complete/<name>/`. Notes the `_task_dir` fallback, `--list`/`--audit` exclusion, and 9 new tests.
**Verdict:** PASS
### 2. Cross-reference check
- `AGENTS.md` references `tasks/` as the task directory -- no mention of `tasks/complete/`. Needs no update because `tasks/complete/` is an implementation detail (tasks are moved there automatically).
- `README.md` mentions `--transition complete` -- no change needed (users don't need to know about the directory move).
- `design/loops/README.md` references the 8 bootstrap tasks -- task 9 was added separately. No loop integration docs reference task paths.
## Summary
All documentation is accurate. No doc gaps found.

# IMPLEMENTATION: move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder
## Summary
When `--transition complete` is called, the task directory is now moved from `tasks/<name>/` to `tasks/complete/<name>/`. The `_task_dir` function has a fallback to find completed tasks. `--list` and `--audit` exclude completed tasks.
## Changes
### R1 -- `_task_dir` fallback (scripts/status.py:236-249)
Added a fallback check: if `tasks/<name>/` doesn't exist, check `tasks/complete/<name>/`. This ensures `--task <name>`, `--transition`, `--approve`, and all other commands that call `_task_dir` still find completed tasks.
### R2 -- `cmd_transition` moves task directory (scripts/status.py:601-610)
After `_write_state(task_path, target)`, if `target == "complete"`, the function:
1. Computes the tasks root directory (`task_path.parent`)
2. Creates `tasks/complete/` if it doesn't exist
3. Renames `task_path` to `tasks/complete/<name>/`
4. Refuses if a completed task with the same name already exists
### R3 -- `_all_task_dirs` unchanged
`_all_task_dirs` does NOT scan `tasks/complete/`. Only `--task <name>` with fallback can find completed tasks.
### R4 -- Tests
`tests/test_move_completed.py`: 9 tests across 3 classes:
- `TestTaskDirFallback` (3 tests): regular path, completed fallback, regular preference
- `TestAllTaskDirsExcludesCompleted` (1 test): completed tasks excluded from listing
- `TestCompleteMovesDir` (5 tests): move, dir creation, create-task refusal, transition refusal, state read after move
### R5 -- Documentation
- `CHANGELOG.md`: task 9 entry
## Verification
- `python3 -m py_compile scripts/status.py` -- OK
- `python3 -m pytest tests/test_move_completed.py -v` -- 9 passed
- `python3 -m pytest tests/ -q` -- 433 passed (424 + 9 new)

# RESEARCH: move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder
## Objective
When `--transition complete` is called, move the task directory from `tasks/<name>/` to `tasks/complete/<name>/`. Keep `--list` and `--audit` showing only active tasks. Allow `--task <name>` to find completed tasks by fallback.
## Current Behavior
`--transition complete` only writes the `.state` file to `"complete"`. The task directory stays in `tasks/<name>/` alongside active tasks, cluttering the listing and audit.
## Design
### _task_dir fallback
Add a fallback in `_task_dir`: if `tasks/<name>/` doesn't exist, check `tasks/complete/<name>/`. This ensures `--task <name>` and `--transition` still work for completed tasks.
### cmd_transition move
After `_write_state(task_path, target)`, if `target == "complete"`, compute the tasks root and move `task_path` to `tasks/complete/<name>/`. Create `tasks/complete/` if it doesn't exist. Refuse if a completed task with the same name already exists.
### _all_task_dirs unchanged
Do NOT scan `tasks/complete/` in `_all_task_dirs`. Completed tasks are out of sight from `--list` and `--audit`. The fallback in `_task_dir` is sufficient for targeted lookups.
### cmd_create_task
`_task_dir` already returns the completed path via fallback, so `cmd_create_task` will see `task_path.exists()` and refuse with "already exists". No separate check needed.
## Risks
- **Audit:** `--audit` uses `_all_task_dirs` which doesn't scan `tasks/complete/`, so completed tasks are invisible to audit. This is the desired behavior.
- **Loop references:** If a loop's `current_task` points to a completed task, the audit at line 954 checks `_task_dir(ltask, args.project).exists()` which will find the completed task via fallback. Correct.
- **`--transition` on completed tasks:** `_task_dir` finds the completed task, `_require_state` reads `"complete"`, and `LEGAL_TRANSITIONS.get("complete", [])` returns `[]`, so any transition is refused. Correct.

# SPEC: move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder
## Context
When a task transitions to `complete`, its directory remains in `tasks/<name>/` alongside active tasks. This clutters `--list` and `--audit`. The fix: move completed task directories to `tasks/complete/<name>/` when `--transition complete` is called.
## Requirements
### R1 -- `_task_dir` fallback
Modify `_task_dir(task_name, project)` in `scripts/status.py` to check `tasks/complete/<name>` as a fallback when `tasks/<name>` doesn't exist:
```python
task_path = base / task_name
if not task_path.exists():
completed = base / "complete" / task_name
if completed.exists():
return completed
return task_path
```
This ensures `--task <name>`, `--transition`, `--approve`, and other commands that call `_task_dir` still work for completed tasks.
### R2 -- `cmd_transition` moves task directory
After `_write_state(task_path, target)` in `cmd_transition`, add: if `target == "complete"`, compute the tasks root directory and move `task_path` to `tasks/complete/<name>/`. Create `tasks/complete/` if it doesn't exist. Print a message confirming the move.
### R3 -- `_all_task_dirs` unchanged
Do NOT scan `tasks/complete/` in `_all_task_dirs`. Completed tasks are out of sight from `--list` and `--audit`.
### R4 -- Tests
Write `tests/test_move_completed.py` covering:
1. `test_complete_moves_dir` -- simulate `--transition complete` on a task, verify the dir moves to `tasks/complete/<name>/`.
2. `test_task_dir_fallback` -- verify `_task_dir` returns the completed path when task is in `tasks/complete/`.
3. `test_all_task_dirs_excludes_completed` -- verify `_all_task_dirs` does NOT include completed tasks.
4. `test_create_task_refuses_completed` -- verify `--create-task` with the same name as a completed task is refused.
5. `test_transition_refuses_from_complete` -- verify `--transition` from `complete` is refused.
6. `test_complete_dir_created_on_first_move` -- verify `tasks/complete/` is created if it doesn't exist.
### R5 -- Documentation
- `CHANGELOG.md` under `[unreleased]`
## Verification
- `python3 -m py_compile scripts/status.py`
- `python3 -m pytest tests/test_move_completed.py -v`
- `python3 -m pytest tests/ -q` -- full suite green
