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: Remove File System Watcher
+
+## Summary
+Removed the half-implemented `refresh.py` file system watcher module and updated the dashboard README to reflect the actual client-side polling refresh mechanism.
+
+## Files Changed
+- `automaton/dashboard/core/refresh.py` — deleted
+- `automaton/dashboard/README.md` — removed watcher from architecture diagram, fixed tree formatting
+
+## Verification
+- `automaton/dashboard/core/refresh.py` no longer exists.
+- `python -m automaton.dashboard` still starts and refreshes via JS polling.
+- `python -m pytest tests/` still passes.
+
+## Decisions
+- The dashboard uses client-side polling (`setInterval`) for auto-refresh.
+- No replacement watcher was implemented.

+# SPEC: Remove File System Watcher
+
+## Goal
+Resolve the half-implemented `refresh.py` module by removing it and documenting the polling-based refresh behavior.
+
+## Requirements
+1. Delete `automaton/dashboard/core/refresh.py`.
+2. Update `automaton/dashboard/README.md` to state that auto-refresh uses client-side polling.
+3. Ensure no imports or references to `refresh.py` remain.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] `automaton/dashboard/core/refresh.py` does not exist.
+- [ ] `README.md` accurately describes the polling refresh mechanism.
+- [ ] `python -m automaton.dashboard` still starts and refreshes correctly.
+
+## Non-Goals
+- Implementing Server-Sent Events or WebSocket push.
+
+## Stop Condition
+When all acceptance criteria are met, output "CONTRACT_MET".
