# Spec: fix-cat3-audit-paths ## Problem `_audit_category3()` in `scripts/status.py:696` checks if changed files are inside task folders using `parts[0] == "tasks"`. This only works for the framework directory (`~/.automaton/`) where git paths are `tasks/mytask/...`. For regular projects, task files have git paths like `.automaton/tasks/mytask/SPEC.md`, where `parts[0]` is `.automaton`, not `tasks`. All task-folder changes are incorrectly flagged as unauthorized. ## Fix Update the path check at `scripts/status.py:696` to handle both cases: - Framework mode: `parts[0] == "tasks" and parts[1] in task_names` - Regular project: `len(parts) >= 3 and parts[0] == ".automaton" and parts[1] == "tasks" and parts[2] in task_names` ## Acceptance Criteria - `--audit` on a regular project with changes inside `.automaton/tasks/` does NOT flag them as unauthorized - `--audit` on the framework directory still works correctly - Add a test in `tests/test_status.py` covering the regular-project path check
