# VERDICT: Dashboard Phase Grouping

## Summary
The dashboard has been modified to group the 12 Kanban columns into 5 logical phase groups. The header now shows the project name instead of the scope indicator. Cards display sub-labels with their specific state.

## Changes Made

### 1. Phase Grouping (dashboard.js)
- Defined 5 phase groups: Planning, Design, Implementation, Verification, Resolution
- Board now renders grouped columns instead of 12 individual columns
- Empty groups are hidden (only groups with tasks are shown)
- Group column headers show the group name and count with colored indicators

### 2. Card Sub-labels (dashboard.js)
- Each card now displays a sub-label with the specific state (e.g., "🔬 Research", "🐛 Bug Find")
- State icons are defined in STATE_ICONS mapping

### 3. Header Change (dashboard.js + app.py)
- Added /api/project-name endpoint that reads from .automaton/project-name.md, README.md, or falls back to directory name
- Header now shows project name (📂 Automaton) instead of scope indicator (🏗 Framework / 📁 Project)

### 4. Stats View (dashboard.js)
- Stats view now shows both phase group breakdown and individual state breakdown
- Phase group bars are color-coded with group colors

### 5. Timeline View (dashboard.js)
- Timeline now shows 5 phase group indicators instead of 12 individual states
- Legend shows phase group colors

### 6. Detail Panel (dashboard.js)
- Detail panel now shows phase group badge next to status

### 7. CSS Updates (styles.css)
- Added column-header data-color styles for phase groups
- Added task-card-sublabel style
- Added detail-phase-badge style
