# Verdict: project-scoping-enforcement

## Status: PASS
**Completion Date**: 2026-06-15

## Summary
Fixed 7 critical and medium scoping issues that would cause silent misdirection when working on the automaton framework and another project simultaneously. Added `--project` flag to all status.py commands across 16+ files. Closed the pre-v2.0 task bypass gap by making all operational commands refuse untracked tasks. Added `--upgrade` command for bootstrapping `.state` files.

## Findings
- All 192 tests pass
- Critical scoping issues (_find_project_dir false positive, silent fallback, scope check) fixed
- Dashboard scope fix implemented
- `--project {project}` added everywhere
- Untracked task enforcement implemented
- `--upgrade` command implemented
- Process violation: task was created after implementation was complete — this is a behavioral issue, not a code issue

## Remaining Issues
- `_infer_state_from_artifacts` heuristic returns `bug_find` instead of `research` for SPEC.md-only tasks (low impact, only affects `--upgrade`)
- No automated enforcement preventing agents from editing files without a task (inherent to prompt-driven frameworks)

## Score
+10
