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: fix-context-sizing

Status: NO_BUGS_FOUND

Method

Static re-read of vram_detect.py changes against the SPEC and against pre-existing behaviors. Focused on:

Backward compatibility: non-loop callers must keep prior behavior.
Override authority: _parse_config_model's override flow must still be authoritative in loop mode.
Negative-budget propagation: max_peak_kb can now be negative when overhead exceeds budget — does any consumer read it without wrapping in max(0, ...)?
Exit codes: --loop-mode refuse paths must exit 2, not 0.

Findings

F1. Non-loop behavior preserved — CONFIRMED SAFE

Pre-existing CLI callers (vram_detect.py without --loop-mode) and dashboard invocations are unaffected. Warning lines are emitted on degraded conditions but exit code stays 0. Verified by test_non_loop_mode_does_not_refuse_unknown_model.

F2. Override authority — CONFIRMED SAFE

In detect_model_context, the if override_context and override_context != "auto" branch (line 343-345) returns the override before reaching the fallback-return-zero path. So when a user has set Override context window in config.md, detect_model_context returns a positive value and the --loop-mode unknown-model refuse never fires. Matches D13 spec.

F3. Negative `max_peak_kb` propagation — LOW RISK, OUT OF SCOPE

recommend_context now returns a negative max_peak_kb when overhead_tokens > recommended_kb. No current consumer reads it without arithmetic. The dashboard (automaton/dashboard/__main__.py) computes its own derived numbers and does not display this value directly. The loop runner (task add-loop-runner) must max(0, available_context_kb) before scheduling; that's the runner's obligation, not this task's. Acceptable.

F4. Exit code correctness — CONFIRMED

--loop-mode refuse paths call return 2. Verified directly: python3 vram_detect.py --model zzz --loop-mode; echo $? returns 2. Support: test_loop_mode_refuses_unknown_model writes a regression guard.

Bugs Found

None.

Out of Scope (for downstream tasks)

Loop runner's max(0, available_context_kb) wrap (task 3 add-loop-runner)
Dashboard showing the new loop_mode_eligible field (v1.1 dashboard panel)
Tier 2 cleanup: last-read-sha drift detection, etc.
