- task.py: remove naive substring fallback from parse_verdict_status(),
only parse ## Status: header; no header → ambiguous (REFEREE)
- status.py: add _auto_update_verdict_on_complete() — when transitioning
human_intervention→complete, auto-update VERDICT.md to PASS
- status.py: add stale-task detection to --can-edit — deny edits if
all edit tasks have .state mtime >30 min old (reason: stale_task)
- status.py: add --touch command to reset task activity clock
- guard plugin: handle stale_task reason with specific error message
- Update test to match new verdict parsing behavior
State Enforcement (v2.0):
- .state file as single source of truth for task phase
- Approval gates for research, decomposition, design, test_design
- status.py --transition refuses illegal phase transitions
- status.py --validate-folder detects out-of-order artifacts
- status.py --audit checks all tasks for violations
- status.py --create-task is the only valid way to create tasks
- Pre-v2.0 tasks without .state are UNTRACKED -- all commands refuse them
- New --upgrade command bootstraps .state files for existing tasks
Project Scoping:
- --project flag added to all status.py commands across 16+ files
- _find_project_dir errors instead of silently falling back to ~/.automaton/
- --scope-check marks framework files OUT_OF_SCOPE when working on a project
- Dashboard handlers use stored project_root instead of re-detecting from CWD
- Prompts reference ~/.automaton/scripts/vram_detect.py (not {project}/.automaton/)
Harness Integration:
- status.py --can-edit now supports project-level checks (no --task required)
- --can-edit --file checks file scope without --task
- --json output for machine-readable harness integration
- opencode plugin (plugins/automaton-guard/plugin.ts) intercepts edit/write
- Git pre-commit hook (scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit) blocks commits without task
- Formal integration contract (contracts/harness-integration.md)
Other:
- upgrade.sh delegates to status.py --upgrade instead of manual heuristics
- Phase prompts reference --project {project} for multi-project scoping
- 200 tests passing (14 new)
- Rewrite vram_detect in Python with fixed config parsing and 10KB read limit
- Add pytest suite (72 tests) covering dashboard core, app security, and VRAM
- Standardize all prompts to .automaton/tasks/{task-name}/ path
- Reconcile dashboard spec with web implementation; remove themes.py
- Remove half-implemented refresh.py file watcher
- Harden dashboard static-file serving and task-name validation
- Add uncommitted-change guard to update.sh and real Gitea URLs
- Add AGENTS.md, Gitea CI workflow, and template documentation
update.sh now checks the current project after pulling latest changes.
If it detects stale prompt/contract/script copies or tasks at the
deprecated root-level location, it prompts the user to run migration.
No more needing to know about migrate-project.sh separately.
Both framework and project tasks now live in .automaton/tasks/.
Every project has a .automaton/ directory, so no need for special
scope-based path logic. Removed the dual-convention gap.
Changes:
- Dashboard _find_tasks_dir() and _get_review_path() always use
{root}/.automaton/tasks/ — no scope branching
- migrate-project.sh: moves tasks/ -> .automaton/tasks/ during upgrade
- Orchestrator prompt: all task path references updated to
{project}/.automaton/tasks/
The additive extension model refactor moved prompts/contracts/scripts into
.automaton/ but never addressed where tasks live. Two conventions existed:
framework keeps tasks in .automaton/tasks/, Orchestrator creates project
tasks at tasks/.
Fixes:
- Dashboard _find_tasks_dir() now scope-aware: framework mode prefers
.automaton/tasks/, project mode prefers tasks/ at project root
- migrate-project.sh: if tasks exist in .automaton/tasks/ (old model),
move them to tasks/ (project root)
- Orchestrator prompt: documents that tasks location depends on scope
- Add automaton.pth to user site-packages so python -m automaton.dashboard
works from any working directory, not just ~/.automaton/
- Add scripts/dashboard.sh as a convenience wrapper with PYTHONPATH
