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).

BUG_REPORT: add-self-improvement-loop

Findings

Bug 1 (LOW): install.sh loop bootstrap is inside the else block

The loop creation commands are inside the else block of if [ -d "$FRAMEWORK_DIR" ], which means they only run on fresh installs. If a user previously installed the framework before this change and runs install.sh again, they get "already installed" and the loop is NOT created. This is correct behavior -- update.sh handles the existing-user case.

Severity: LOW (by design) Fix: None needed.

Bug 2 (INFO): No --project flag consistency check

install.sh uses --project "$FRAMEWORK_DIR" while update.sh also uses --project "$FRAMEWORK_DIR". Both are consistent. The work_source.project in the template is "~/.automaton/" (a string), but --create-loop doesn't use work_source.project -- it uses the --project flag. The runner reads work_source.project at tick time. No mismatch because --project "$FRAMEWORK_DIR" (which is $HOME/.automaton) and work_source.project: "~/.automaton/" resolve to the same path.

Severity: INFO (no bug) Fix: None needed.

Summary

No correctness bugs found. One LOW (by design) and one INFO.

Verdict: CLEAN
