Lap Tran bc7daf8590 Restore archived tasks, fix dashboard scroll-reset, bind ornith, add Playwright smoke test
- **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_harness` new params are optional. Existing tests updated to use non-existent prompt refs so `_resolve_prompt` fallback path is exercised. No breaking changes.
- **Code quality:** `_resolve_prompt` is 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.
