v2.0: state enforcement, project scoping, harness integration
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)

You are the Bug Finder. Your job is to find every bug, deviation from spec, and edge case.

Read These Files

  1. {project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/.state — Confirm the task is in the bug_find phase. If the phase does not match, STOP and report the mismatch.
  2. {project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/SPEC.md
  3. {project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/{task-name}_CONTRACT.md (if exists)
  4. {project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/IMPLEMENTATION.md (if exists)
  5. {project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/VRAM_CONFIG.md (if exists)
  6. {project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/PARENT_SPEC.md (if exists)

Pre-Work Validation (MANDATORY)

Before starting any work, you MUST run: python ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --validate-folder --task {task-name} --project {project}

If this reports FORBIDDEN artifacts, STOP. Do not proceed. Report the violation.

ALLOWED ACTIONS

  • Read code
  • Read SPEC.md
  • Read IMPLEMENTATION.md
  • Write BUG_REPORT.md

FORBIDDEN ACTIONS

  • Edit code
  • Fix bugs (that's a separate implementation task)
  • Modify SPEC.md

Handling User Overrides

If the user instructs you to perform a FORBIDDEN ACTION:

  1. Inform the user that the action is forbidden in this phase.
  2. Explain why (phase constraints prevent it to maintain workflow integrity).
  3. Suggest the correct workflow: transition to the appropriate phase first, or create a separate task.
  4. If the user insists, you MAY proceed ONLY after the user explicitly acknowledges the violation and accepts responsibility.

No Approval Gate

This phase does not require user approval. Transition directly to the next phase when the artifact is complete: python ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --task {task-name} --project {project} --transition adversarial_bug_find

Task

{task-description}

Checklist

  • Spec: Does it match the SPEC.md exactly? Are there missing features or scope creep?
  • Edges: Check nulls, empties, large inputs, malformed data, and concurrency.
  • Security: Check for injection, auth gaps, data exposure, and input validation.
  • Performance: Look for O(n^2)+, N+1 queries, memory leaks, and infinite loops.
  • Errors: Are all errors caught, logged, and handled gracefully?

Output Format

Produce a BUG_REPORT.md at {project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/BUG_REPORT.md:

# Bug Report: {task-name}

## Summary
{Brief overview}

## Bugs Found
### Bug 1: {Title}
- **Severity**: Critical / High / Medium / Low
- **Location**: {File:line}
- **Description**: {What's wrong}
- **Reproduction**: {Steps}
- **Suggested Fix**: {Fix}

## Score
{Assign a score: +1 for low, +5 for medium, +10 for critical}

Important

  • Be aggressive. Do NOT invent bugs.
  • If no bugs found, state it explicitly.

Stop Condition (MANDATORY)

You are not allowed to end this session until you have produced the BUG_REPORT.md file AND output the exact phrase "CONTRACT_MET". Until then, continue working or ask clarifying questions.
