- **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).

VERDICT: add-loop-templates-onboarding
Task
Implement prompt-file token substitution in the loop runner, create three loop role prompts (loop-implement.md, loop-verifier.md, loop-orchestrate.md), fill in both loop templates, create the self-improvement template, and add onboarding documentation.
Deliverables Review
| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
R1: _resolve_prompt with token substitution |
DONE | scripts/loop-runner.py:248-303, 4 tests in TestResolvePrompt |
R2: prompts/loop-implement.md |
DONE | File created, 2 tests in TestPromptFiles |
R3: prompts/loop-verifier.md |
DONE | File created, 3 tests in TestPromptFiles |
R4: prompts/loop-orchestrate.md |
DONE | File created, 2 tests in TestPromptFiles |
| R5: ci-triage template roles filled | DONE | templates/loops/ci-triage/loop.json, 1 test in TestCiTriageTemplate |
| R6: self-improvement template created | DONE | templates/loops/self-improvement/loop.json, 5 tests in TestSelfImprovementTemplate |
| R7: README onboarding section | DONE | README.md "Loop Engineering" section with Quick Start, Tick Cycle, Configuration, Monitoring, Halt/Resume |
R8: tests/test_loop_templates.py |
DONE | 18 tests (target was 12-16; exceeded) |
| R9: CHANGELOG and technical.md | DONE | CHANGELOG.md task 6 entry, design/loops/technical.md section 8 updated |
Quality Assessment
- Test coverage: 18 new tests, all passing. Full suite 393 passed (was 369). No regressions.
- Backward compatibility:
_invoke_harnessnew params are optional. Existing tests updated to use non-existent prompt refs so_resolve_promptfallback path is exercised. No breaking changes. - Code quality:
_resolve_promptis clean, well-structured, handles all edge cases (missing file, missing artifact, empty prompt_ref, missing outputs dir). Follows existing code conventions. - Documentation: README onboarding section is comprehensive. technical.md section 8 documents the prompt resolution flow. CHANGELOG is detailed.
- Security: Adversarial review found no exploitable vulnerabilities. Path traversal is mitigated by trusted input. Token injection is not possible (single-pass substitution). Large artifact DoS is mitigated by context floor gate.
Pipeline Artifacts
- SPEC.md -- written and approved
- IMPLEMENTATION.md -- written
- CODE_REVIEW.md -- written, approved
- BUG_REPORT.md -- written (CLEAN, 2 LOW + 1 INFO)
- ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT.md -- written (CLEAN, no exploitable vulnerabilities)
- DOC_REVIEW.md -- written (APPROVED)
Verdict
APPROVED -- ready for complete.
All 9 requirements (R1-R9) are fully implemented, tested, and documented. The task delivers the critical missing piece of loop engineering v1: prompt-file token substitution that closes the feedback loop between ticks. The three loop role prompts provide the LLM instructions for the Implement/Verify/Orchestrate cycle. The self-improvement template enables the framework to improve itself via audit-driven loops.
