- **Restore 82 completed tasks** from tasks/complete/ back to tasks/ top level (all <7 days old per the cleanup policy; premature bulk archive was fixed). - **Dashboard: fix scroll-reset on auto-refresh** — renderBoard rebuilds the board via innerHTML every 2s, destroying each column-body's scrollTop. Now snapshots column-body scrollTop + board.scrollLeft + view.scrollTop before rebuild and restores after (matched by PHASE_GROUPS index). - **Dashboard UI additions** (pre-existing unstaged work): approval section cards, transition buttons, inline artifact editor (textarea for writing missing SPEC/VERDICT/etc from the detail modal). - **Bind ornith as Implement model** — config.md: Model explicit to omlx/Ornith-1.0-35B-4bit-mlx, context window 32768. Interactive autopilot already used ornith via opencode default; now explicit. - **Fix cleanup stub** — automaton-cleanup.sh had a stale --project arg pointing at a pytest temp dir (test isolation leak). Rewired to point at ~/.automaton. - **Fix plist-isolation test** — test asserted host plist doesn't exist, but a real install creates it. Now snapshots mtime before run, asserts unchanged after (only a write during the test counts as bleed). - **New Playwright smoke test** (tests/test_dashboard_ui.py) — 2 tests: board renders tasks, column scroll survives auto-refresh tick. Verified the test fails without the scroll fix (scrollTop resets to 0). Skipped via importorskip when playwright is absent (main CI stays green). - **Clarify SI loop scope in README** — new-project onboarding section documents the framework-scoped self-improvement loop and options (leave/pause/create project loop). - **CHANGELOG** documents all changes including the known model-divergence gap (mde tasks marked complete but per-role model binding was never implemented).

DOC_REVIEW: add-loop-templates-onboarding
Reviewed Documentation
README.md-- new "Loop Engineering" onboarding section (Quick Start, Tick Cycle, Configuration, Monitoring, Halt/Resume)CHANGELOG.md-- task 6 entry under[unreleased]design/loops/technical.mdsection 8 -- prompt resolution and token substitution documentationAGENTS.md-- no changes needed (already documents loop runner and status.py commands)
Findings
1. README.md onboarding section
The new section adds:
- Quick Start with 3 commands (create, install-schedule, monitor)
- Tick Cycle diagram (11-step flow summary)
- Configuration table with all
loop.jsonfields - Monitoring commands
- Halt/Resume commands
Accuracy: All commands and field names match the actual implementation. The configuration table correctly documents use_worktree (not worktree), work_source.kind values (single, audit, backlog), and the role prompt fields.
Completeness: Covers all R7 sub-requirements from the SPEC.
Verdict: PASS
2. CHANGELOG.md
Entry accurately describes all changes: _resolve_prompt, _invoke_harness extension, new prompt files, template updates, new self-improvement template, README section, technical.md section 8, new tests (18), test infrastructure updates.
Verdict: PASS
3. design/loops/technical.md section 8
New "Prompt Resolution and Token Substitution" subsection documents:
- File search order (loop-local then framework)
- Content-level token substitution
{artifact_content}special handling- Temp file write and return path
- Loop-local override capability
Accuracy: Matches the implementation in _resolve_prompt.
Verdict: PASS
4. Cross-reference check
AGENTS.md"Loop runner" bullet referencesdesign/loops/technical.md§7 for the tick flow -- still accurate.config.mdmentions role-to-prompt binding inloop.json-- still accurate.prompts/directory now has 3 new files (loop-implement.md,loop-verifier.md,loop-orchestrate.md) -- not listed in any index (there is no prompts/ index file), so no update needed.
Summary
All documentation is accurate, complete, and consistent with the implementation. No doc gaps found.
Verdict: APPROVED
