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).

Contract: Dashboard Phase Grouping

Goal

Group the 12 Kanban columns into 5 logical phase groups, with individual task states shown as sub-labels on cards. Also fix the header to show the project name instead of a scope indicator.

Header Fix

The scope badge currently shows "🏗 Framework" or "📁 Project" — this should be replaced with the actual project name.

  • Show the project name (from README.md first heading, or .automaton/project-name.md if it exists)
  • If no project name is found, show the project directory name
  • No need for scope indicators (Framework/Project mode is internal)

Column Grouping

Group Columns Rationale
Planning Backlog, Research, Decomposition Early stage — defining the problem and scope
Design Design, Test Design Designing the solution
Implementation Implement Building the solution
Verification Bug Find, Adversarial Bug Find, Doc Review, Referee Quality assurance and validation
Resolution Done, Blocked Final states

Card Display

Each card shows its specific state as a small sub-label beneath the task name:

┌──────────────────────┐
│ Implement Task       │
│ 🔄 implement         │
└──────────────────────┘

┌──────────────────────┐
│ Bad Impl             │
│ ❌ blocked           │
└──────────────────────┘

┌──────────────────────┐
│ Research Task        │
│ 🔄 research          │
└──────────────────────┘

Acceptance Criteria

  • Board renders 5 grouped columns instead of 12 individual columns
  • Cards in a column display a sub-label with their specific state (e.g., "research", "implement", "bug_find", "blocked")
  • Empty columns are hidden (no empty groups shown)
  • Column headers show the group name and total count
  • Column headers show a colored indicator bar for each group:
    • Planning: blue (#42a5f5)
    • Design: cyan (#26c6da)
    • Implementation: green (#66bb6a)
    • Verification: amber (#ffa726)
    • Resolution: green/red (#66bb6a / #ef5350)
  • Grouped columns are sortable by total count (same as current board behavior)
  • Clicking a card still opens the detail panel with the same information
  • Filter bar still works with the grouped view (filter by specific state)
  • Statistics view shows group-level breakdowns in addition to individual states
  • Timeline view shows grouped phases (Planning, Design, Implementation, Verification, Resolution) instead of 12 individual states
  • Header shows the project name (from README.md or directory name) instead of scope indicator
  • Scope label no longer shows "🏗 Framework" or "📁 Project"
