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).

Implementation: fix-dashboard-cors-origin

Bug

Dashboard's app.py set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * (wildcard CORS) on all responses via CORS_HEADERS. Since the dashboard is a local single-origin app, this wildcard CORS header is unnecessary and poses a security risk — any malicious webpage on the machine could make requests to the dashboard API.

Fix

  1. Removed CORS_HEADERS dictionary (which contained Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * and Access-Control-Allow-Methods)
  2. Added SECURITY_HEADERS with X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff and X-Frame-Options: DENY
  3. Updated _send_json(), _send_error(), and do_OPTIONS() to use SECURITY_HEADERS instead of CORS_HEADERS
  4. do_OPTIONS() no longer returns Access-Control-Allow-* headers — it simply returns 204 No Content

Files Changed

  • automaton/dashboard/ui/app.py: Replaced CORS_HEADERS with SECURITY_HEADERS, updated all response methods
  • tests/test_app.py: Updated CORS-related tests to assert NO Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is present, and that security headers are sent

Tests

  • test_app.py tests updated to verify security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) and absence of CORS headers
  • All 249 tests pass
