# Plug Stale Task Hole Implementation ## Summary Added stale-task detection, `--touch` command in status.py, and updated guard plugins to block edits on stale tasks. ## Changes ### scripts/status.py - Added `--touch` command that resets the activity clock on a task - Stale detection: tasks in edit-allowed phases >30 minutes are considered stale - `--can-edit` returns `stale_task` reason when a task is stale - Added `stale_task` and `stale_minutes` to JSON output ### plugins/automaton-guard/plugin.ts - Added stale task detection: if `--can-edit` returns `stale_task` reason, the guard blocks with a message suggesting `--touch` or new task creation - Parses `staleTask` and `staleMinutes` from JSON response ### automaton/dashboard/core/task.py - Added stale task awareness in the dashboard ### tests/test_task.py - Added tests for stale task detection and touch functionality
